Jacob Grey Firearms Unveils the Hex Pro — The Next Evolution of the Award-Winning Hex Lineage

Friday, January 16th, 2026

Prosperity, South Carolina January 16, 2026 — Jacob Grey Firearms has unveiled the Hex Pro™, a refined evolution of the award-winning Hex platform that integrates the hard-earned lessons from the development and manufacturing of the Nox 9™. The result is a handgun purpose-built to push performance, durability, and shootability even further—without sacrificing the clean, intentional design language that has come to define the brand.

The Hex Pro represents a deliberate step forward. While the original Hex established Jacob Grey Firearms as a serious contender in the premium handgun market, the Hex Pro reflects the maturation of the company’s engineering and manufacturing approach following the successful launch of the Nox 9™. Every major component of the Hex Pro has been rethought, refined, or redesigned to deliver measurable improvements where they matter most.

At its core, the Hex Pro utilizes a fully CNC-machined billet 4140 pre-hardened steel frame, finished with a Black DLC coating to enhance slide-to-frame fit, durability, and long-term wear characteristics—offering a clear performance advantage over aluminum-framed designs. Paired with this is an all-new slide and improved barrel design, manufactured using updated processes developed during the Nox 9™ program.

The Hex Pro features a 4.6-inch slide and barrel, incorporating a chunk ported barrel design engineered to reduce muzzle rise while maintaining a clean, balanced aesthetic. The porting is functional, intentional, and restrained—designed to improve control without compromising reliability or visual appeal.

The grip module is fully CNC machined from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum and hard-coat anodized, consistent with the materials used in both the original Hex and the Nox 9™. However, the Hex Pro introduces a significant ergonomic update: the grip module now incorporates the same ergonomics and overall shape as the Nox 9™, resulting in a uniquely contoured grip that fits a wide range of hand sizes naturally and securely.

Internally, the Hex Pro continues Jacob Grey Firearms’ emphasis on precision-machined, purpose-built components:

Fully CNC-machined billet 4140 steel frame, DLC coated black for improved fit and longevity
Armored Billet™ ignition components — hammer, sear, disconnector, and safeties — all CNC-machined from tool steel and PVD coated in our signature Carbon Grey
2.5 lb Controlled Radius Trigger™ with over-travel adjustment and enhanced hammer/sear engagement
Optic-ready slide with RMR footprint plate positioned rearward of the ejection port for unobstructed operation
Exclusive patented ejector design, unique to the Jacob Grey platform

The Hex Pro is not a cosmetic refresh. It is a disciplined refinement—built by a team that has learned what it takes to scale production, meet demand, and deliver premium firearms consistently while continuing to innovate behind the scenes.

The Hex Pro makes its public debut at SHOT Show 2026, where attendees can see the handgun up close and experience the next chapter of the Hex lineage firsthand.

SHOT Show 2026: Eyeviation Brings the World’s First Cognitive-Aware Firearms Training System to Civilian Ranges and Sport Shooters

Friday, January 16th, 2026

The AI-powered VCAT system, already proven in elite military and law enforcement units, expands into the civilian market as the first platform designed to train the cognitive and visual-mechanics of shooters.

Shot Show, Jan 20-23, 2026, Las Vegas, Booth #13201

January 14 2026 -Eyeviation, a developer of Human-Aware Artificial Intelligence training systems, will present its VCAT™ Virtual Cognitive-Aware Training system at SHOT Show, marking the introduction of the world’s first cognitive-aware firearms training system to the civilian shooting range and sport shooting markets.

Already operational and validated within elite military and law enforcement units in Israel and the United States, VCAT applies training methodologies developed in high-pressure operational environments to civilian firearms training. The system enables shooters to train without live fire, ammunition, or dedicated lanes, while addressing a layer of performance data that until now could not be measured or systematically trained.

Unlike conventional firearms trainers that assess performance after the shot, VCAT is the first system designed specifically to train the cognitive and visual processes across the full shot cycle. These processes govern shooting performance from target acquisition, through engagement and shot sequencing, and into post-shot recovery, including vision management, attentional control, and decision timing under pressure.

By making these processes visible and measurable, VCAT allows shooters and instructors to identify performance limitations earlier, shorten time to proficiency, and reduce training plateaus. The approach reflects how elite units accelerate skill acquisition and maintain readiness, now adapted for commercial ranges and sport shooters.

“VCAT represents a fundamental shift in how firearms training is structured,” said Or Landwer, CEO of Eyeviation. “As the first system to train the cognitive layer of shooting, it brings elite-level methodologies into civilian environments and allows shooters to focus on what truly drives improvement eminently and immediately.”

Designed for high-frequency, ammunition-free micro-training, VCAT enables a single operator to oversee multiple trainees simultaneously, significantly reducing training costs while increasing availability and safety. Live fire becomes a validation phase rather than the primary learning environment.

New LANTAC Plan-B Left-Hand Muzzle Device and HUB

Friday, January 16th, 2026

With the rise of suppressors comes trends. One trend LANTAC has noticed is the commonality of Plan-B muzzle devices.

A few months ago, we released Plan-B variations of our popular Dragon® Muzzle Brakes, as well as our new Lamprey™ Flash Hiders.

Now, LANTAC is pleased to announce our new Plan-B Left-Hand system. It’s everything you love about Plan-B, but with a left-handed twist.

Left-hand threads give you a few advantages over traditional right-handed threads. For one, every time you loosen the suppressor off your mount, you also tighten the muzzle device onto your barrel – making it virtually impossible to accidently remove your muzzle device from your gun when removing a suppressor.

The same stays true for the HUB adapter portion. Simply righten the suppressor HUB into your desired suppressor using a simple mil-spec Barrel Nut wrench, and you’re good to go.

Made from Swiss turned 17-4 PH Stainless Steel and Nitride finished. The design of the HUB adapter is sleek, adding minimal length to the end of your can.

Left-hand threads allow the muzzle device to be designed without the need of external wrench flats. Use the wrench flats on the muzzle device to install the Plan-B LH Dragon® onto your barrel and you’re done.

When installed together, the end result is an extremely low profile flush system that brings the back of the suppressor flash with the shoulder of your barrel.

More Plan-B Left-Hand variations are in the works. You can expect Left-Hand variations to start shipping in Q1 2026.
