SHOT Show 17 – Gemtech Lunar -45

Thursday, January 19th, 2017

The Lunar-45 from Gemtech is a full-auto rated modular suppressor billed as “…the lightest and quietest modular 45 caliber silencer available that is able to be completely taken apart and cleaned.” Crafted from 7075 aluminum and titanium, the Lunar-45 can be configured into a 8.5″ long or 6.9″ short profile, and a variety of available mounting options will allow the Lunar-45 to be utilized with a multitude of weapons and calibers. The Lunar-45 features a high temperature black Cerakote finish, and comes with a .578-28 mount.

Gemtech tested the Lunar-45 mounted on a Dan Wesson Discretion 1911 using 230gr FMJ, and found when ran dry it produced a sound report of 129dB in the long configuration and 136dB in the short configuration. Solid numbers, and if real world results mimic performance found during testing, Genentech will have an excellent new product in their suppressor line.

SHOT Show 17 – GSS Gear / Integrated Stealth Harness-TQ / Misty Mountain

Thursday, January 19th, 2017

Ish Antonio is well known in the Rescue community and he has come up with a new harness. Manufactured by Misty Mountain, the Integrated Stealth Harness-TQ. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen. The ISH-TQ offers such a low profile, you can wear it all of the time and you’ll have an extra tourniquet at hand as well. In the photos, the Harness is demonstrated on a mannequin so it won’t tighten as well as on a human.

For hasty rappel or hoist mode, you pull the loops down over your rear.

To employ the Full class II Harness, engage the leg loops which attach via Austrialpin buckles.

Additionally, the harness can be employed as a Tourniquet while worn on the leg.

The carabiner is used as the windlass.

It can also be removed from wear and employed on arms or others.

Interested parties should contact www.mistymountain.com or email Ish at i.antonio@ishgear.com. Naturally, GSS Gear will help out with Unit and eganxy purchases.

SHOT Show 17 – Hardened Arms LumaShark

Wednesday, January 18th, 2017

The LumaShark is a free float handguard with dual integral CREE lights. The rail is constructed of 6061-T6 aluminum and is 12″ in length, with a monolithic top Picatinny rail, and M-LOK side and bottom slots. The 1150 lumen lights sit at the 6 o’clock position on the front end of the rail, and are activated via large, glove-friendly buttons. These buttons are pretty sensitive, so Hardened Arms also offers a more recessed button so accidental activation doesn’t occur during use. They run on CR123A batteries, which provide up to 1 hour of constant activation. As you can tell, the rail is rather wide, intentionally designed to allow clearance for a suppressor.

The lights feature quick-change bulbs which can be removed via an included tool. Hardened Arms also offers an IR bulb and laser as replacement for the standard bulbs, as well as remote pressure pads. Hardened Arms’ developed the LumaShark principally for Military and LE sales, although it will be offered for general purchase as well.

SHOT Show 17 – Troy Defense

Wednesday, January 18th, 2017

Like last year, Troy Defense had a booth full of new products for the year. Here’s a few of the highlights:

Troy SOCC Battlemag

Troy is going the way of the translucent polymer magazine with their new SOCC Battlemag. The translucent body allows shooters to see their current round count, and the texturization throughout the mag body allows for a positive grip when drawing the mag out of a pouch or from a weapon. The SOCC Battlemag is engineered to function with AR-15 variants, as well as the HK416 and FN SCAR, and is optimized for the M855A1 cartridge.

Troy SOCC PDW

The SOCC PDW is a new iteration of Troy’s PDW rifle sporting all-new SOCC accessories, including the new SOCC folding BattleSights, the SOCC ambi selector switch, and the 7.2″ SOCC PDW BattleRail, which is M-LOK compatible. It also comes with a Tomahawk Short Stock, Claymore Muzzle rake, Troy extended ambi charging handle, and a Geissele G2S Trigger.

MK12 Mod 1

As part of the ‘My Service Rifle’ line, in which TROY reproduces iconic US military AR-15 variants, comes the new MK12 Mod 1. The MK12 Mod 1 is a reproduction of the MK12 Mod 1 variant used by SEALs and Army Rangers, and includes a 12th model muzzle brake w/ suppressor mount, A2 buttstock, harris bipod w/ mount, Troy swing swivel mount, Ergo grip, 2-point sling, and Troy 2-piece scope mount. Additionally, a portion of all sales of the MK12 Mod 1 will go to support the Lone Survivor Foundation.

SHOT Show 17 – TNVC/Unity Tactical TAPS Update

Wednesday, January 18th, 2017

During Range Day we mentioned the production version of the Tactical Augmented Pressure Switch. To clarify, there are two variants and externally both look the same because they have the same basic functionality.

The TAPS mounts to M-Lok, KeyMod and Pic rail and includes 7″ SureFire/Insight or 7″ Insight/Insight leads. Once again, it requires a 2032 battery for constant on, but even without it, momentary still works. The only difference from the base model and the TAPSpro is that the pro model is programmable. Consequently, there’s a difference in price. The TAPS is $139 and TAPSpro is $239. Considering other switches are more expensive (and not programmable) that’s not a bad price. Plus, TAPS is 100% Made in USA. Additionally, the switches are available in FDE and Black.
