PRIMARY ARMS OPTICS

GLx 2x PRISM WITH ACSS GEMINI RETICLE

Primary Arms Optics has released a brand-new reticle option for their popular GLx 2x Prism Scope: the ACSS Gemini.Designed for 9mm carbines and AR pistols, the ACSS Gemini reticle incorporates all the advanced features of ACSS and adapts it for a PCC format. At $369.99, the Primary Arms GLx 2x Prism with ACSS Gemini 9mm Reticle is certain to be a top choice for those seeking an innovative CQB optic for their pistol-caliber carbine.

Weighing in at only 11oz, the GLx 2x Prism is comparable to many full-size red dot and holographic weapon sights, though the ultra-clear 2x magnification and etched ACSS ballistic-compensating reticle provide additional precision at further distances. The daylight-bright illumination with Primary Arms Optics’ patented AutoLive motion-sensing on/off technology grants the user enhanced performance in any environment or lighting condition, while conserving runtime for an extended 20,000-hour battery-life. Since this is a magnified optic with an adjustable diopter, it is well-suited for marksmen with astigmatism, which can greatly impair the visibility of other traditional reflex sights.

Safariland, a brand of The Safariland Group, announced new 575 Slim Pro-Fit holsters equipped with Safariland’s Grip Locking System (GLS). The new 575 Slim extends the availability of the popular holster design to subcompact pistols.

“The new 575 Slim builds on the success of our robust 575 in-waistband design,” said Eric Gasvoda, Vice President and General Manager for The Safariland Group duty gear division. “The new 575 models are built for the smaller 9mms and other pistols designed for everyday carry. With Safariland’s GLS retention and the 575’s ease of concealment, this is a great way to secure your carry gun so it is ready and accessible when you need it most.”

The retention of the GLS is deactivated with the middle finger while taking a shooting grip during the draw. The body is SafariSeven, a proprietary nylon blend that is non-abrasive to a firearm’s finish and maintains very high heat tolerance as well as low cold tolerance. This holster comes with two belt loop options based on preference (over or under the belt). Its low-cut and compact design makes concealment easy while also allowing for a quick draw.

The new 575 Slim is designed for the GLOCK, Inc. 43, 43X and 48, Springfield Armory Hellcat and XD-S, Sig Sauer P365/P365X, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield/Shield + and similarly-sized pistols.

STRIKEHOLD

Lubricant, Protectant and Cleaner 

Whether sport hunting, target shooting or using firearms in the line of duty or for self-defense, gun owners expect their weapons to discharge every time without fail. This requires proper firearm cleaning and lubrication after virtually every use. Michael Huggard (formerly of the 504th of the 82nd) engineered StrikeHold, which is a highly effective, fast-acting lubricant, protectant and cleaner. It goes on wet and dries in place, leaving a hard finish coating that protects weapons by deterring carbon build-up, contaminants and corrosion in all weather conditions. As a cleaner, it removes firing residues, gum build-up as well as foreign debris from weapons components. As a lubricant, it contains synthetic-based additives that act like microscopic ball-bearings to reduce friction. The gun cleaner has been battle-tested on all types of weapons systems from 9mm pistols to M110 sniper rifles, M4 to .50 caliber, field artillery and even M1A2 Abrams tanks. StrikeHold will not freeze in use.  strikehold.com

SIG ELECTRO-OPTICS UNVEILS NEW TANGO6 RIFLESCOPE

SIG SAUER, Inc. and SIG Electro-Optics is pleased to unveil the TANGO6 5-30x56mm tactical riflescope with patented LevelPlex technology. This scope introduces a new degree of long-range accuracy to any firearm by allowing the shooter to virtually eliminate gun and scope cant from the shooting equation. Powered by MOTAC (Motion Activated Illumination), LevelPlex appears to the shooter in the form of illuminated arrows on the horizontal axis of the reticle, informing the shooter of firearm cant, direction of cant and severity of cant. The illuminated arrows guide the shooter back to a level hold until the cant is corrected: No more taking your eye off the target to check a level. In addition to on-range use, LevelPlex allows for super-fast and remarkably accurate level scope-to-rail mounting: Level the rifle in a gun vice and simply use LevelPlex to level the scope to the rifle upon setup—no more fumbling with magnetic bubble levels on turrets. The new TANGO6 5-30x56mm with LevelPlex and T120 Turrets offers shooters the ideal high-precision shooting solution and unparalleled technological advancements. LevelPlex allows the shooter to remove unwanted cant from the shooting system to +/- .5° of accuracy, which is 6 times more accurate than a typical bubble level. The T120 high-speed low-profile turrets help the user to quickly dial-in their shooting solution—because time and accuracy always matter. The new scope is fog-proof as well as complete immersion waterproof up to 1 meter. This scope like other Sig optics is covered by the Sig Sauer Infinite Guarantee.

NEW NAS3 TWO-PIECE BRASS SHELL TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTIONIZES BRASS

Ever since the brass cartridge case was invented it has pretty much remained the same. Now there is a revolutionary new brass cartridge case that will become the future of ammunition. The new casings are not brass at all but rather a nickel alloy stainless steel cylinder that is mated to a nickel-plated solid aircraft-grade aluminum base. The stainless cylinder is less abrasive than brass, self-lubricating and corrosion resistant. Stronger and more elastic than brass it spring back to its original shape when fired. The aircraft-grade aluminum base will not abrade, clog, foul, or damage breach or ejector mechanisms. The base will not “balloon” when fired from unsupported chambers such as in Glock or some submachine guns. The new “brass” will accept any type of existing 9mm bullet. Now some of the revolutionary features. The casings can be reloaded up to 45 times without trimming or any special preparation. They are also magnetic so they can be picked up with a magnet. The casings are half the weight of brass but yet they are twice as strong. The casings are available with custom headstamps and where the base of the case is aluminum it can be anodized in just about any color to help identify different types of ammunition. These casing also eject from the gun cool to the touch! Right now the new “brass” is available only in 9mm but the next calibers out will be .380 and .45 ACP. The company will follow those calibers with rifle cases in 5.56 and 7.62. With this ammo component weighing half as much as brass this author thinks that the military should be very interested in it. One other thing, these casings are cheaper than brass! So far ammunition loaded with these casings have fired in just about every type of firearm with perfect functioning.
