When most shooters grip the front of their rifles for CQB shooting, they “C-Clamp” their thumbs over top of their rails. This method allows the shooter to grip the rail by applying pressure with the palm and four fingers of their hand and adds pressure to the top of the rail with the muscles in the thumb.
Developed by a prior senior firearms instructor at a special operations unit, the Patent Pending THenar ® allows the shooter to improve their grip of the front of their weapon, while simultaneously indexing at a fixed point and bringing their long gun to bear with far more control than possible before.
The Thenar ® provides a hard-point located on the side of the rail which the shooter wraps their thumb over at the web. By gripping with the thumb over this nub, the user uses their Thenar Eminence, the strong muscle group in the palm at the base of the thumb. This design also allows the shooter to bring their support hand into position on the weapon in a completely repeatable position and dramatically increases grip on the weapon and control of the forend under recoil. While usable with vertical foregrips or a bare rail, the THenar® is optimized for use with the Magpul AFG. The THenar ® has been called “The missing half of the AFG”.
The exposed end of each version of the THenar ® is a QD sling swivel point, removing the sling attachment point from interference with the shooters grip on the weapon under stress. The ambidextrous Thenar® is available in Picatinny, Key-Mod, and M-Lok and is proudly made of aircraft grade aluminum just outside of MCB Quantico VA.
The THenar ® is available from Quantico Tactical in any of their six retail stores, via their website or for unit or agency purchase, via their GSA schedule or the Defense Logistics Agency TLS-SOE contract.

Quad Mag Prototype, 60-Round Capacity 2009
Shortly after the introduction of the original PMAG, Magpul began working on increased capacity solutions. The “Quad” or “Coffin” mag concept never delivered the reliability in rough handling and adverse conditions that they require from their magazine products, and so the design never made it into production. Lessons learned during this program eventually fed into the D-60 program.

Armageddon Gear’s Hot Pocket a new suppressor accessory that has been in the works for some time. They got tired of waiting on their cans to cool down enough that they wouldn’t burn a gun case and did something about it. They came up with a zippered case that is lined with a thermomcontrol material. This is a great way to transport a can in general, with the pocket for the paperwork, too.
Available in two sizes; 7.5″ model fits cans up to 7.25″ in length and 10″ model fits suppressors up to 10.5″ in length. As always, the Hot Pocket is proudly made in the USA of Milspec materials and features the Armageddon Gear Lifetime Warranty.

I’m out in Wyoming at the High Bar Homestead with several other writers checking out new products from a couple of brands in anticipation of the upcoming NRA Annual Meeting. One of the items we’ve had the opportunity, to check out is this new GLOCK slide from GGP.
Designed as an affordable, Commercial Off The Shelf slide for GLOCK pistols, they are available in two cuts, for G17 or G19 and manufactured from 4140 steel.
This version features lightening cuts and features a rear sight dovetail mounted Delta Point Pro MRDS by Leupold Optics. The suppressor is a Silencerco Osprey.
The second variant features geoscales, milled to enhance handling.
This G19 also features the Delta Point Pro and is equipped with the SilencerCo Omega9K suppressor.
This photo gives you an idea of what the top of the slide looks like.
Expect to pay around $500 for a complete slide, minus sights and barrel and $400ish for a slide without the internal parts.
The barrels are aftermarket and incorporate threads for suppressors and a SAAMI spec chamber with 1/10 twist rifling. They should be about $200.
Both pistols incorporate a CMC trigger.
The initial run of G19 slides is currently in finish and will be available just before NRAAM from Grey Ghost Precision.
