Stogie Mag

Sunday, May 19th, 2024

At this weekend’s NRA Annual Meeting I ran across what would make a great Father’s Day gift.

The Stogie Mag is a rifle magazine shaped humidor. It holds six cigars that measure up to 5.25″ x .50″

Additionally, the follower serves as the humidor.

There’s also a top cover that press seals to keep your cigars fresh and dust-free.

Made in the USA and available now from StogieMag.com.

NRAAM 24 – Kel-Tec

Saturday, May 18th, 2024

Kel-Tec has updated their 9mm SUB2000 carbine to a Gen 3 model. Upgrades include a metal trigger and it will accept a GLOCK 17 magazine. Additionally, the charging handle in the stock features bolt hold open slots in either direction.

But the biggest change is that the barrel twists and folds so that you can keep optics mounted even when folded.

NRAAM 24 – SIG SAUER

Saturday, May 18th, 2024

SIG has an amazing booth, easily the largest at the show, but there’s not much new on display. In addition to showcasing SIG Connect which is an app-based entertainment and training platform, there are a couple of gems to be found here and there.

One of those is this concept for a version of the Cross bolt action rifle featuring wood furniture.

At this point they haven’t decided whether they are going to do it or not and are soliciting feedback. Personally, I like it.
