Today, Chiappa is unveiling the CBR-9 Black Rhino which is a finished version of the Tanfoglio SMG.
The CBR9 is a 9mm personal defense weapon which fires from proprietary magazines in 18 or 30 rounds. Controls are ambidextrous. Interestingly, the firing pin is said to come in from the top. While it is shown here with a collapsible stock, I understand they plan to introduce a pistol to the US with a stabilizing brace. I would imagine that the collapsible foregrip won’t be on that version.
Welcome to the 2019 IWA Outdoor Classics.
This time it was one of our stickers in a stand at Enforce Tac.
LMS Gear is introducing a flannel shirt, to go along with Multi Utility Denim.
At the front you can see the asymmetric pockets with a regular flapped shirt pocket on the left side of the shirt and a small pocket with pen slot on the right. Interestingly, this pocket is accessible through the armpit of an armor vest. Additionally, midway down the front opening is a slot for sun glasses.
The shirt also features patched elbows for durability.
The sides of the hem feature a Cordura patch for durability, to avoid tearing when pulling the shirt for a draw from conceal.
At the left and right of the shirt, just behind the side seam are low-profile pockets which will accept a single 30 rd magazine.

I am in Nurnberg Germany doing IWA stuff and got a preview of a promotional video for FK BRNO’s PSD, their new Polymer, Multi Caliber Pistol, making its debut here at the show. In addition to the bottle neck 7.5 FK round, caliber changes to both 9mm and 10mm are as simple as a barrel swap
Right now, I’m only able to share these two images but I’ll get a lot more information once the show opens on Friday.
What are you really going to like is the price. Their all steel field pistol goes for about $7500, while this new Polymer version will retail somewhere around $2000.

Heckler & Koch displayed the latest version of the HK 433 Carbine during Enforce Tac. Chambered in 5.56mm, this model incorporates an 11″ barrel and features H&K’s RAL8000 coloration.
They have submitted the HK 433 as well as a variant of the HK 416 for the Bundeswehr’s competition for a new rifle to replace the G36. Take a look at the version we wrote about one year ago here, and you will notice a few, slight variations.
For instance, the charging handle has been moved slightly to the rear and is now reversible from left to right.
Above are two closeups of the back up front sight and below are two of the rear.
The HK 433 combines operating controls from both M16 and G36 families.
You can see it is equipped with the H&K 30 round polymer magazine. It features a window with orange round indicator on the spring.
