If you’re a rifle shooter and you shoot by yourself, you’ve probably used your spotting scope on a small tripod on the bench next to you. The only real problem with that is accidentally knocking it over…and watching your expensive optic tumble off the bench and onto the concrete ground at your feet. I’ve knocked […]
Opinions on XS’s Big Dot sights are strong. People either really like ’em or really don’t. We’re in the former camp. We’ve liked them since we first tried them, enough to put them on a couple of our our EDC pistols. Now the Fort Worth company is announcing a new model, DXT2 Big Dot Night […]
Texas-based Bravo Concealment, makers of one of our favorite OWB holsters, the BCA OWB Kydex holster, has just announced a new model. The BCA 3.0 OWB holster adds adjustable retention and a new polymer material. They’re only available for GLOCK pistols now, but look for more models to be added down the road and they’re […]
Following on the rollout of a new line of electro optics, Crimson Trace has just announced a complete line of eleven new riflescopes for tactical and sport shooting.
Lots of us have wondered for years when Crimson Trace, which is owned by American Outdoor Brands, would take the leap beyond lasers and lights. Wonder no more. Here’s a press release courtesy Ammoland: Wilsonville, OR – America’s Top Brand of laser sights, Crimson Trace, today introduced a new line red dot sights for pistols and […]
Outside of a ridiculously gigantic binary target explosion earlier this summer and the fact that they make AK-47 magazines, I admittedly don’t know much about XTech Tactical. Looks like that may change, though, as they’re now playing with the big boys. Namely, Century Arms. But they aren’t playing nice. Or voluntarily. XTech’s press release follows […]
1791 Gunleather touts their new Project Stealth holster as the first to feature both good ol’ steerhide and carbon fiber. They say the combination makes their pancake-style rig lightweight, flexible and extra durable. Here’s their press release: 1791 GUNLEATHER DEBUTS FIRST-EVER HOLSTER COMBINING CARBON FIBER WITH PREMIUM GUNLEATHER Next Evolution in Premium Leather Holsters Miami, […]
Just in time for SilencerCo‘s tenth anniversary, the company is releasing what it’s claiming is the quietest .22LR suppressor on the market, the Switchback 22. It’s a modular suppressor designed to be run in four different configurations on calibers all the way up to and including 5.7×28. SilencerCo’s press release follows, but stay tuned because […]
As popular as GLOCK pistols are, maybe the least-loved part of their guns is the stock sights. Small fortunes have been made selling aftermarket replacements to upgrade the factory version. Now Strike Industries has announced a new entry, their Modular Blade Sight. It comes with interchangeable colored inserts to give the shooter four options depending […]
The Mini-14 and Mini Thirty have been in production in one form or fashion since the early 1970s. Being a fan of the platform, I’ve seen a lot of gimmicky accessories for both rifles over the years. But, after going through just about all of them, here’s a good selection of items that are actually […]
In case you hadn’t noticed, Magpul’s much more than magazines and AR furniture. They’ve become a full-line outdoor lifestyle brand in addition to selling all the handguards and backup iron sights you’ve grown to know and love. Because tactical and technical never seem to go out of style, and fall is almost here, Magpul’s adding […]
Smith & Wesson’s M2.0 line of semi-auto pistols corrected the only real complaint most shooters had with the original M&P line…that trigger. The updated bangswitch is light years ahead of the original (see JWT’s review of the excellent M&P9 M2.0 Compact here). Now, with an eye to .45 fans, Smith has announced the new M&P45 […]
