Aimpoint’s Nano Sight Available As Component of B&T’s Universal Service Weapon

Wednesday, March 1st, 2017

Last year we mentioned the upcoming Nano red-dot weapon sight from Aimpoint. We were hoping it would be released at SHOT Show but when we asked the crew manning the Aimpoint booth, they suggested we check out Brügger & Thomet, down in the basement. Sure enough, it was there but the weapon it was mounted to, hasn’t seemed to resonate with the American market. Perhaps it’s the folding stock on a pistol that has so many scratching their heads. But now, we’re at Enforce Tac, a European Security Show and the B&T USW has generated quite a bit of interest.

The USW is duty pistol size but intended to offer a more stable platform to police and security forces. It features a DA/SA trigger and ambi decocking lever. Additionally, the mag release can be configured left or right.

Interestingly, the Nano stays put on the bridge of the receiver and doesn’t reciprocate on the slide. They’ve also incorporate charging ears on the slide to help with racking the slide.

The Nano comes standard on the B&T USW, and so far, that’s the only way you’re going to get one. The UsW also comes equipped with a side folding stock, level 3 retention holster, 3 magazines (17, 19, and 30 round) single point sling, cleaning kit, transportation box and a B&T Advanced Pistol Light which is made by Inforce. In fact, the only option is for a suppressor.

Petition To Repeal The NFA

Monday, February 6th, 2017

This petition to repeal the National Firearms Act has been out for a couple of weeks but it doesn’t have nearly enough signatures. Yeah, I said to myself, “these things don’t do any good” just like money of you will. But, the reality is that it is out there, and a healthy number of signatures can be pointed to as support for legislation such as the Hearing Protection Act which would begin the work of dismantling the NFA by removing silencers from needless regulation.

Sunday, January 15th, 2017

TYR Tactical is a sponsor of SIG Media Range Day.

We’re going to give you a few teasers of new products coming from TYR Tactical’s Huron Tactical this year.

We’ll start off with their 3A jacket which is their take on the SOCOM PCU 3A. It’s pretty straight forward with two handwamer pockets and Polartec Alpha insulation.

They will also introduce a CWU 106 Jacket, Pant and Anorak, all made from Polartec NeoShell. The Anorak is already out and this set is intended as a Level 6 garment.

Additionally, all three will be available as Insulated versions with PrimaLoft Gold fill, known as CWU 107. These are 100% waterproof breathable with fully taped seams. The pants have removable suspenders and full length side zips to accommodate donning and doffing.

Finally, you asked for it and TYR Tactical listened. They will introduce a Combat Shirt as a component of their HWU 107 hot weather uniform. It relies the same 3.6 oz ultra quick dry nylon with Polartec PowerDry torso.

Also, look for a temperate version of their combat uniform in 50/50 NYCO as well as Ranger Green color options for all Huron items.
