New from GATORZ: Magnum Z Sunglasses

Robert Farago - comments No comments

GATORZ wants the world to know that their Magnum condoms sunglasses are favored by operators operating operationally (shown). Maybe that’s because their shades not reflective. You know: like sharks’ eyes. Even so, GATORZ weren’t the best solution for ballistic eye protection. And now . . .

they are! The Magnum Z is an enhanced ANSI Z87+ rated version. So you can wear your sunglasses confident that spall and small fragments of lead won’t break the glass of the windows to your soul. Or something like that.

From their website:

The Magnum is our #1 selling sunglasses for good reason. Perfect for those who prefer a medium to large frame, their unparalleled comfort and optimized build not only has the ability to protect the wearer’s eyes, but also serves to turn a couple of heads at the same time.

Expect maximum lens coverage and a typical Gatorz wrap look. They are also extremely popular with the US Navy SEALs, SWAT teams and elite military special forces units.

The Magnum Z is the enhanced ANSI Z87+ rated version of our Magnum style blackout sunglasses. The frame features our matte black logo with no reflective colors and surfaces on the frame. The Magnum Z meets or exceeds all ANSI Z87.1 – 2015 requirements.

  1. What I want to know is how long until idiots start inundating the ATF with letters like they did with the Sig brace asking if it’s ok.

  2. Just out of curiosity what do most of you all use for range eye pro/ every day wear?

    I use Wiley X at work and while shooting/instructing, and Oakley Flak XlJ is Gascans the rest of the time

    • I use Ruger eye protection with interchangeable lenses. I got them so I could have clear for indoor ranges or cloudy days, tinted for shooting steel in the summer and amber for outdoor use in the winter. I also like the zippered soft case that let’s me throw my earplugs in there and have everything ready to grab and go. I think they were about 20 bucks.

  3. Looks to have just about everything you’d want in a solid rimfire bolt gun. It is almost crazy how many features Ruger can pack into their new offerings. The prices are also reasonable in my opinion. Honestly this isn’t much more expensive than the American 22lr with the threaded barrel. Different guns I suppose and the American is probably lighter and more handy.

  4. No. The Abominator is infinitely worth more than the Reformation. The Reformation dances around the NFA like a little fairy man in a tutu, To quote Abominator’s builder; How many gun laws does it break? All of them.

  5. Carried an M14 for 18 months while with the 503CBT/173rd ABN in Okinawa, jungle warfare training on island and off. (this was back in the dark ages, we moved in the dark without night-vision) I’m left handed, as many were, never had a problem in that respect. It is nice to have a choice. May take me some time to learn to use a left handed version tho.

  6. If anyone is interested in a bullpup semi-auto mag-fed shotgun but prefers to buy American, check out the Standard Manufacturing SKO-BULL. All the features you want, currently available on the market, superb reliability (at least from what I’ve seen in reviews so far), and 100% made in the USA
