GBRS x Unity Tactical – Axon Switches

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2023

Unity Tactical has created special versions of their Axon & Axon SL with custom cable lengths of 10″ and 14” exclusively for GBRS for use with Hydra mounts which require longer cables.

Axon

Featuring a Picatinny mount, the AXON switch provides complete control of lights and aiming devices in a single, compact, and rugged housing. Lights and aiming devices can be fired from individual buttons with versions available for popular issued devices. Its unique design provides tactile differentiation between the two buttons to eliminate confusion in dark, cold, and high-stress situations. The light (angled) button features a switch that allows for both momentary and constant activation, while the aiming device button features a momentary-only button that supports the double-click-for-constant-on feature.

AXON SL

The AXON SL is the smaller, single-button switch in Unity’s AXON family and hard mounts directly to an M1913 Rail. AXON SL features a 45-degree angled button face for an ergonomically correct activation angle, making it easy to index under stress while wearing PPE or facing extreme environmental conditions.

These longer cable versions of Unity AXON buttons are exclusive to GBRS. Currently in-stock are variants for Crane and SureFire plugs with NGAL plugs coming in the next few months.

SIG SAUER Statement on Montville, CT Police Department Incident

Tuesday, August 1st, 2023

NEWINGTON, N.H., (July 31, 2023): SIG SAUER has the following statement relative to a reported unintentional discharge from an officer at the Montville, CT Police Department on Monday, July 24, 2023:

“We have seen the news reporting of the incident involving a P320 discharge at the Montville (CT) Police Department.  We are confident, as is the case in all instances, that when the factors and evidence are reviewed this will be proven to be an unintentional discharge as a result of inadvertent contact with the trigger, and that the pistol did not fire without a trigger pull.

In reviewing the video footage of this incident currently available, it appears that the involved firearm was not fully seated in its holster and the holster retention hood was not fully closed over the pistol at the time of discharge (images below).  This improperly holstered condition would have left the firearm’s trigger exposed and vulnerable to actuation.  Even if properly holstered, the features of the involved holster allow for foreign object intrusion and interaction with the trigger, as has been seen in other incidents. 

We regret that the involved agency jumped to conclusions regarding the cause of this discharge without first carefully examining the footage of the incident and providing SIG SAUER with an opportunity to assist in the examination of the involved firearm.

The P320 model firearm is used effectively and safely every day, by both civilians and armed professionals.  Despite years of litigation and extensive discovery, no one has ever been able to replicate a condition under which the P320 could discharge without a trigger pull, and experts who have attempted to assert such a claim have been repeatedly thrown out of court as unqualified and/or unreliable.  Three separate federal courts (in the matters of Frankenberry v. SIG SAUER, Mayes v. SIG SAUER, and Hilton v. SIG SAUER) have concluded that the two experts who have proffered a theory of uncommanded discharge are unfit to testify in court because they are unqualified and/or their opinions are untested and unreliable.  In the only case regarding a P320 discharge to proceed to a full trial (Guay v. SIG SAUER), a jury of 12 rejected these experts’ unproven and unscientific theory, and found unanimously in favor of SIG SAUER.  SIG SAUER stands behind the proven safety and reliability of the P320.”

Odyssey 2023 Part 2 – Primary Arms Optics Releases Two New Rifle Scopes and Classic Red Dot

Monday, July 31st, 2023

HOUSTON, TEXAS—Primary Arms Optics has released three new optics as part of Odyssey 2023 Part 2: an FDE PLx® 1-8x24mm FFP Compact Rifle Scope, a 2nd Generation SLx® 3-18x50mm FFP Rifle Scope, and a Classic Series® RD-25 Red Dot.

In January, Primary Arms Optics launched Odyssey 2023 as a grand reveal for their 2023 catalog. Now, Primary Arms Optics is updating Odyssey with a ‘Part 2’, announcing three additional optics now available for purchase!

The first optic announced is the 2nd generation of SLx 3-18x50mm FFP Rifle Scopes, a comprehensive upgrade for one of Primary Arms Optics’ most popular long-range optics. This upgrade includes an optical redesign with enhanced clarity, definition, and performance across the board. The scope also has all-new precision turrets, guaranteeing accurate tracking for precision at extreme distances.

The second optic announced is the FDE variant of their best-selling PLx 1-8x24mm FFP Compact Rifle Scope. Originally released in 2022, the PLx 1-8x24mm FFP Compact Rifle Scope has become a best-selling addition to the premium LPVO market. Measuring under 9.3 inches and 17 ounces, this scope is one of the smallest on the market, yet it offers superior optical performance with a wide field of view. Codenamed ‘Peanut Butter Pickle’, this newest variant of this scope has all the same outstanding features but with a sleek, low-signature FDE finish. This optic is currently available with limited pre-release supply.

Finally, the new Classic Series RD-25 red dot brings the enhanced speed and precision of a 25mm aperture to a new, low price point. Driven by value, the Classic Series RD-25 is rugged, reliable, and comes with its own QD mount, all while remaining affordable to any budget. Like all Primary Arms Optics products, it comes with a leading lifetime warranty and commitment to customer satisfaction.

Combined, all three optics offer new value and functionality for their price point. In addition, Odyssey 2023 Part Two includes information on two new accessory mounts for the MicroPrism series: the MR-12 and MDOM. The MR-12 is a 12 o’clock piggyback reflex mount that integrates directly with the factory MicroPrism mount. The MDOM is an offset micro red dot mount, which replaces the factory mount’s keeper for a lightweight, yet durable canted optic platform. Both accessory mounts are now available for purchase from Primary Arms Optics dealers.

“After the launch of Odyssey 2023 at the beginning of the year, our customers asked for new optics, variants, and accessory options,” says Stephen Morgan, Director of Product Marketing at Primary Arms Optics. “These releases reflect the overwhelming majority of our customer requests. We love building what the people want, and we hope you are as excited about Odyssey Part 2 as we are!”
