PSIGEAR – SHOTSHOW SALE
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018SHOT Show 2018 – CZ USA
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018
The Scorpion EVO III S2 Micro was developed at the behest of an undercover drug interdiction unit for a smaller, suppressed Scorpion SMG. It features a 4″ barrel and an HB industries handguard. CZ states that the S2 Micro with its purpose-built suppressor is shorter than a standard Scorpion with “one of the most popular micro 9mm cans on the market” by nearly 3″, and can spit out 147gr 9mm loads at well under 130 dB. CZ will be releasing a civilian-legal pistol version of this variant, dubbed the Scorpion Evo 3 S2 Micro Pistol /w Brace, this coming Summer. It will come complete with a NoOsprey faux suppressor from SilencerCo, and a telescoping SB Tactical arm brace.
The suppressor itself, dubbed the S2 TI Reflex, was developed with assistance from Aerocharger Ballistics. A fully-welded titanium suppressor, the S2 TI Reflex sports a 2″ reflex blast chamber, and weighs only 9.6 oz. CZ will also release a stainless steel model made of 17-4, with similar performance, but a weight increase to 15.36 oz.

SHOT Show 18 – Solkoa
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018
I’ve been using The SOLKOA Ultralight Multipurpose Aluminum container for my survival kit for several years. It was a big surprise to stop by their booth (#32513) and see they had built me a new one, laser engraved with my logo.
This 6061 Aluminum two-piece container can be used for a variety of purposes including a cooking container.
Available in Small (inside 3 7/8” x 2 3/8” x 1 3/16”, outside – 4” x 2 3/4” x 1 5/8”) and Large (4 3/4” x 2 7/8” x 1 3/8”, outside – 5 1/8” x 3 1/4” x 1 7/8”) sizes and in the following colors: Black, Red, Orange (all with black Velcro) or Tan (with tan/beige Velcro).
SHOT Show 2018 – Franklin Armory Reformation
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018The wait is over, the mystery revealed on The Reformation, Franklin Armory’s ‘not-SBR’ that left everyone guessing.
So, what allows it to defy NFA classification, despite its 11.5″ barrel and collapsible stock? It’s the barrel. Specifically, the Reformation line will feature Franklin’s NRS Barrel Technology. NRS, which stands for “Not a Rifle or Shotgun”, is a barrel with straight cut lands and grooves that retains a standard chamber. Because the barrel doesn’t impart spin on the projectile, the ATF decreed it doesn’t meet the definition of rifling, and as such the Reformation can’t be classified as a rifle or shotgun, short-barred or otherwise, only a ‘firearm’.
What does this do to accuracy? Franklin claims to have tested 4 MOA accuracy with off-the-shelf ammo, but they’ve also developed fin and flare stabilized projectiles and ammo specifically for use with the Reformation, that offers near-MOA performance.
The initial Reformation firearms will be chambered in .300 BLK, with 5.56 to follow shortly after. Models without the BFSIII binary trigger will also be made available.
SHOT Show 18 – Crye Precision Follow Up
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018Based on the pre-SHOT Show release, several questions and comments arose which I will address in this follow up.
First off, G3 is not going away. Although that was the plan initially, there are too many customers using the garments so they will continue to be available.
As for G4, I’ve taken some photos of the new design features to give you a better idea of what is going on. This manikin is a great example of how the designs would be used.
For example, you can see the charge loops.
Also, please consider that the G4 has a better and more consistent fit between Combat and Field uniforms. Additionally, the VTX ripstop fabric, has some mechanical stretch.
There are also new Airflex Impact Pads. The operative word here is Impact
Several commenters were upset that Crye had not introduced MultiCam printed torsos into their Combat Shirts. They are available, for those customers who want them.
Finally, despite not being in the catalog, the original JPC will still be available.
