SHOT Show 17 – Full Conceal

Wednesday, January 18th, 2017

Full Conceal has a booth at the SHOT Show NEXT Pavilion, a section intended to showcase brands never before seen at SHOT. Their product is an ultra-concealable modification for full and mid-sized pistols which cuts down the frame to a sub-compact size, roughly equivalent in size to a modern cell phone. The models on display at their booth were based around Glock series pistols, and Polymer80’s 80% Glock frame.

The M1 model cuts down the pistol’s frame to a sub-compact size, either a G17 or G19 with a magazine capable of holding 7+1 9mm rounds. A magazine holder capable of holding a 15-round 9mm magazine is integrated into the frame and is mounted via the accessory rail, giving a wielder a potential 23 rounds of 9mm carry ammo.

The M2 model is a bit more customized when compared to the M1 model. Rather than have a 7-round magazine loaded into the gun, and a full-size backup mag, it utilizes a full-size magazine with a rail-mounted baseplate that stores into the pistol grip/magwell via a cutout on the grip. The trigger is spring loaded and folds upward into the frame when the magazine is stowed. As you can see below, this configuration does remove the trigger guard.

Full Conceal is currently taking pre-orders for either model, which can be viewed at the link below.

Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit Now!

Wednesday, January 18th, 2017

The Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit Now!TM, also known as the Micro TKNTM, is the smallest version of the Trauma Kit Now!TM available on the market. This pack, which is available for purchase filled or unfilled, is designed to hold essential lifesaving gear in a small easy-to-carry pack that takes up minimal space. The supplies inside of the Filled Micro TKNTM include:

-Quick clot combat gauze
-HyFin vent chest seal (2 Seals included)
-Cleer medical trauma bandage 4” flat pack
-Decompression needle
-Six 2in. x 9in. Frog Tape
-Size 28 Nasopharyngeal Airway
-One pair of heavy-duty medical gloves in tan

The Micro TKNTM is constructed to be worn horizontally and is less bulky than the typical pouch, which makes it ideal for everyday carry by law enforcement professionals, low-profile mission sets and prepared civilians. The inner carrier can be easily deployed with one finger or one hand from either the left or right side by pulling the BLIP featured
pull-tabs.

“Whether downrange, in the hunting field, or in everyday life – Blue Force Gear believes in a mindset of readiness,” said Tom Kaleta, Director of Marketing. “Hunters carry seemingly every device, scent cover, and tool imaginable, but few I’ve ever encountered carry a trauma kit that contains more than a few bandages. This kit takes up very little room, weighs virtually nothing and contains the tools to treat the three most common battlefield injuries. Why would every hunter or shooter not carry a Micro TKNä?”

The Micro TKNTM has two main components: the outer MOLLE or belt-mounted pouch using the Ten-Speed technology; and a removable insert to keep medical supplies organized.

Find technical specs and see a demonstration of Blue Force Gear’s new Micro Trauma Kit Now!TM and other innovative products in booth 31209 at SHOT Show in Las Vegas from Jan. 17–20.

SHOT Show 17 – Franklin Armory BFSIII

Wednesday, January 18th, 2017

Franklin Armory’s BFSIII or Binary Firing System III trigger is an interesting option for those looking for a non-standard fire control group for their AR rifle. It has a 4.5 lbs. trigger pull +/- .5 lbs., and aside from the standard safe and fire modes, it comes with a third ‘binary’ mode, which discharges a round upon pull and release. If the shooter wishes to disengage the second shot upon trigger release, they can simply move the selector to the standard fire position, and the binary mode will deactivate. Also included with the trigger is a heavier buffer spring, which reduces the possibility of hammer follow.

Franklin Armory’s BFSIII is compatible with most AR trigger-compatible weapons, the Franklin Armory F17 series, and .22 LR and 9mm uppers without modification.

SHOT Show 17 – Kel-Tec

Wednesday, January 18th, 2017

It’s always a joy to visit the Kel-Tec booth, as they consistently have new products to check out every year. Granted, it will be a while before you’ll see them on the market, but it what it is. For this year, Kel-Tec has two new models of their RDB, and one new model of the KSG.

KSG-25

Forgive the image orientation, but it was necessary because the KSG–25 is long, 38″ long to be exact. The KSG-25 sports a 30.5″ barrel, with a standard capacity of 24+1 2.75″ shells, hence the name. It weighs a hefty 9.25 lbs. unloaded, and roughly 11.5 lbs. when loaded. This particular model will come complete with Magpul MBUS front and rear sights, and a Magpul RVG vertical grip, along with a heat shield to cover the extended barrel. Kel-Tec states the KSG–25 will see a limited release third quarter of this year, provided demand is high enough.

RDB Tactical

The RDB Tactical is a variation of the RDB, featuring a two position collapsible stock which provides shooters with 1.5″ of additional length, as well as an M-LOK forend designed specifically for the rifle. The barrel length is 16″, and the RDB Tactical can accept any standard AR-15 compatible magazines. This rifle was so new, Kel-Tec wasn’t able to produce marketing materials for it to bring to the show.

RDB Survival

The RDB Survival is a minimalist profile variant of the RDB designed for field carry. Like the Tactical, it features a 16″ barrel, although this one is pencil profile to keep the weight down. The Survival model has an overall length of 26.1″, with a weight of 5 lbs., comes with integrated iron sites, and can accept any standard AR magazines. The Survival also features the same two positions stock as the tactical model, providing an additional 1.5″ of stock length for the shooter, which is also what lets the Survival skirt the minimal legal length.

To that end, the DMK22C can accept many MilSpec AR parts, such as collapsible stocks, pistol grips, and even AR-15 compatible trigger packs. Interestingly, the DMK22C features a patented barrel adapter, which allows for the installation of aftermarket Ruger 10/22 barrels. Also, the proprietary DMK22C magazine features a bolt-open mechanism to further cement its intended function as a training rifle.

SHOT Show 17 – Colt M16A1 Reissue

Wednesday, January 18th, 2017

Colt has this M16A1 Reissue rifle at their booth under the new products display. The reissue is built to the same specifications as the original M16A1, from the flash hider to the 20″ barrel to the receiver marks, and even has a 1:12 twist rate and a 20-round mag. Of course, it’s in a civilian-legal semi-auto configuration, but the law’s the law. The MSRP, coming in at $2500, is a bit on the high end, but if you’re looking for a functional M16 repro, getting one from the original manufacturer can be an attractive prospect.
