Coming Soon: The Folding Defensive Platform from Magpul x ZEV

January 17th, 2025

I know, I know, you’ve heard it before, but they really mean it this time guys. Magpul partnered with ZEV Technologies (now owned by SilencerCo) to bring the Folding Defensive Platform or FDP over the finish line.

First unveiled as the FMG-9 during SHOT Show 2008, it eventually became two separate firearms based on the same technology, the FDP (pistol) and FDC with the C for Carbine or SBR variant (requires ATF approval) after Magpul teamed with ZEV in 2021. Since then, we’ve had an annual update on the status around SHOT Show. However, I’m told the firearms are ready and sales should begin this quarter.

Although these are based on the Magpul design, they will only be available for sale from ZEV Technologies which shows a current price of $1699.

I must say, the images and video look like they’ve got it together. Hopefully, it’s really happening. I really want one.

Franklin Armory’s New Binary Trigger for FN SCAR

January 17th, 2025

The New SKR-C1 Gives FN SCAR® Owners the Longed-for Ability to Fire on Both the Pull and Release Functions of The Venerable Gas Piston Semiautomatic Rifle

MINDEN, Nev. – January 16, 2025 – Franklin Armory, Inc., one of America’s most innovative manufacturers of firearms and accessories, announced today the latest model in the patented Binary Firing System® lineup. The new SKR-C1 is Franklin Armory’s first Binary® trigger for the popular FN SCAR®. Now, FN SCAR owners can experience the thrill of shooting in Binary mode that hundreds of thousands of Americans have come to enjoy on many other firearm platforms.

“From social media engagements to customer surveys, the FN SCAR consistently ranked among the most requested platforms for our next Binary trigger design,” said Franklin Armory President Jay Jacobson. “Our engineers enthusiastically pursued this project and did a fantastic job of adapting our Binary technology to the renowned SCAR platform.”

Franklin Armory’s new SKR-C1 provides the same three-position selectable functionality found in all of its Binary® triggers for rifles and pistol caliber carbines: Position One, safe; Position Two, traditional semiautomatic; Position Three, Binary®. In Binary mode, a single round is fired when the trigger is pulled and a single round is fired when the trigger is released. One of the Binary Firing System’s revered safety features is the ability to cancel the release round by simply moving the integrated selector switch from Binary® to the “semi” or “safe” position before releasing the trigger. More information on the operation of the Binary Firing System can be viewed in the video “How Binary® Works.”

MSRP for the new SKR-C1 Binary Trigger for FN SCAR is $499.99. Franklin Armory anticipates shipping the SKR-C1 before end of the first quarter 2025.

Following a groundbreaking partnership revealed in 2024, the FDP Suppressor is set to enter production in Q1 2025, with shipments beginning in April 2025. This innovative product is a unique and capable suppressor that does not require a threaded barrel on a pistol host, instead attaching via a patented method that uses the accessory rails incorporated into a pistol’s frame.

As a part of US commercialization, the FDP Suppressor has a newly redesigned and modular mounting interface, specifically engineered to meet U.S. regulatory standards. This design allows users to have multiple unregulated adapters, enabling seamless compatibility with different host platforms. This updated design of the FDP Suppressor has been reviewed by the BATFE Firearms and Ammunition Technology Division (FATD), with approval received in December 2024.

MSRP for the FDP Suppressors is $750, with additional adapters available for an MSRP of $165.

Launch Configurations

The initial release of the FDP Suppressor includes adapters for the following host platforms:

• Glock 17 Gen 5

• Glock 17 Gen 3/4

• Glock 19 Gen 5/19X/45

• Glock 19 Gen 3/4

• HK VP9

Key Design Features

• Fast attach and removal design that does not require a threaded barrel.

• Does not require a Nielson device/booster for cycling.

• Does not affect cycling and reliability of the pistol, allowing maximum ammunition compatibility.

• Has minimal to no point-of-impact shift between suppressed and unsuppressed.

• Does not interfere with the vision of pistol sights.

• Offers comparable sound suppression to conventional pistol suppressors.

• Easy take-apart design for cleaning.

“The FDP Suppressor model is a uniquely capable suppressor that we are excited to bring to the US market,” said Sean Murphy, VP of Product Management. “After we signed the partnership with Fischer Development to bring their design to the US, we found a few design changes needed to meet US regulations. We are excited to have an approved modular mounting system so that users can customize their suppressor setup to fit their preferred host. Work is already underway for additional adapters that fit other popular pistol platforms.”

Availability and Ordering

The FDP Suppressor and its launch adapters will be available for pre-order starting February 2025, with shipments commencing in April 2025. Existing KGM Suppressors dealers will have access to this product, and interested FFL/SOTs are encouraged to inquire about dealer pricing.
