SHOT Show 20 – ATOM 2.0 Slides Are Coming From Unity Tactical

Thursday, January 23rd, 2020

Unity Tactical’s original ATOM slides for the Glock family of pistols was offered several years ago via crowdfunding. It was one of the first commercially available after market slides with a cut out to mount a red dot sight.

The new ATOM 2.0 remains a drop in slide for the G17/19, but they are also adding the SIG P320 to the lineup. The footprint allows for a quick swap of RDS.

The slide comes stripped with a channel liner and a suppressor height front sight installed. Rear sights are integrated into the optics plate and I witness through the MRDS. You’ll need to swap out the OEM internals from your current slide or install new ones into the ATOM 2.0 slide.

What’s more, the ATOM 2.0 footprint is licensable and can be applied to most striker fired pistols. Adapter plates are available for most mini red dot sights.

Wednesday, January 22nd, 2020

Brownells has just made building a homegrown AR-180 even easier with the release of the BRN-180 Lower Receivers to go with the Uppers they launched at last year’s SHOT Show.

Granted, they’ve introduced some new features like the Picatinny attachment at the rear of the receiver to accept stock systems, but over all, the BRN-180 Lower does a great job of giving the look and feel of the original. As you can see, this allows for multiple configurations, from pistols, to collapsible or folding stocks.

But the real treat is the upcoming stock from B5 Systems which is very similar to the original AR-180 stock.

Below is their press release for the new BRN-180 Lower Receivers.

Brownells Unveils BRN-180 Lower Receivers at SHOT Show 2020

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (January 21, 2020) – Brownells unveiled a pair of BRN-180 lower receivers on the first day of SHOT Show 2020, expanding its popular BRN-180 line.

• Integral Picatinny rail segment for easy folding stock or brace install
• Accepts modern AR-15 components
• $149.99 retail

“The BRN-180 and BRN-180M Lower Receivers were created to take full advantage of the contained recoil system of the BRN-180 Upper Receiver,” said Brownells Director of Product Management Paul Levy. “The BRN-180 Lowers are available in a forged model, which is inspired by the contours of the original AR-180, and a billet, BRN-180M model, which has a modern profile and design”.

Brownells offers BRN-180 complete uppers in the following models:
•BRN-180S 10.5″ barrel
