HIPERFIRE’s New Trigger Family Now Has A New Name, PDI

Tuesday, January 21st, 2020

HIPERFIRE Logo

January 2020: HIPERFIRE’s New Trigger Family Now Has A New Name, PDI. HIPERFIRE provides more details beyond the original announcement made January 2nd. These details are now available at www.hiperfire.com and the social media sites linked there. HIPERFIRE’s customer base clamored for an AR drop-in trigger that featured the “feel” and hard-hitting hammers its triggers are known for. Most aftermarket drop-ins are notorious for LPS, light primer strikes. To get the pull weight down, designers have compromised their hammer fall. Not so with the new PDI line of triggers. These drop-ins pull at around 2 lbs. and sport HIPERFIRE’s unique HIPERSHOE that now mounts onto a curved bow, not just straight. The hammer strikes surpass SAAMI’s copper crusher spec and hit harder than MIL-spec M4/16 hammers. Wow! The pull? It’s single stage. It’s short, sweet, and smooth as butter. The “feel” is almost transparent to the shooter. To top it all off, no PCC blowback violence can touch it. The four PDI versions feature a hammer collision bumper. Its disconnector and disconnector spring are impact and crush protected. Is it just for PCC? No way. It’s just an excellent trigger. Anyone can appreciate it shooting slow, fast, short-range, or for long-range precision, and on the move, it surpasses SAAMI’s rough handling specification. Be the first to shoot it at Industry Day at the Range, the day before Shot Show 2020 at HIPERFIRE’s full-auto lane. See it, feel it, at HIPERFIRE’s Shot Show 2020 booth #3016. For more information, visit www.hiperfire.com.

Dead Air + Noveske “Heat Model” Colt 733 Enhanced Clone package

Friday, January 3rd, 2020

Heat1

Michael Mann productions tend to have above average firearms choreography, and HEAT is considered among his best. Dead Air Armament and Noveske Rifleworks seem to agree, because they’ve partnered up to produce an extremely limited “Heat Model” Colt 733 Enhanced Clone package inspired by the big bank shootout from that film, and the Colt 733 wielded by Val Klimer’s character, Chris Shiherlis.

Combo Rollmark

The rifle stars with a Noveske/Dead Air Gen 1 lower receiver with combo logo rollmark, and a Noveske A1E1 upper with shell deflector and forged carry handle, complete with an Elite Smoke Cerakote finish. The furniture consists of a standard carbine M4 handguard, GI charging handle, A2 pistol grip, and CAR15 aluminum stock with Graphite Black Cerakote finish.

Heat5

The 11.5″ light commando barrel is capped with a Forward Controls Design 6315KM 1/2×28 flash hider, which features direct attachment compatibility with the Sandman-K suppressor that comes with the package. The suppressor itself shares the same Dead Air/Noveske combo logo and serial number as the host 733 clone.

Limited to just 50 units, the “Heat Model” Colt 733 package was available initially to Dead Air ‘ASYLUM’ program members, with the remaining going out to Dead Air’s dealer network. So if you want one, pick it up fast!
