With Triggrcon quickly approaching, we have received several questions regarding the status of our show due to the COVID19 pandemic. We have closely monitored this situation considering all impacts this would have on our show from a safety and experience factor for our guests.
It is with a heavy heart that we decided to cancel this year’s Triggrcon show, initially scheduled for July 29th through August 1st at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, WA. This decision also applies to all events and programs planned, including our Range Day, VIP Party, and Mediafest. Please know that we did not reach this decision lightly. We considered several factors to arrive at this decision, including the safety and well being of our guests and staff. We also felt strongly that the absence of particular key exhibitors and media partners to our show would impact the overall experience of our guests and exhibitors. And that we would fall short of our expectations and standard for our show.
Please coordinate directly with any hotels, airlines, or others who have assisted with your travel arrangements. Most companies have announced plans to accommodate travelers dealing with event cancellations. We will also be refunding all tickets purchased for this year’s show and events.
We look forward to hosting next year’s show, and thank you for your continued support. It is that same support that inspires and drives us to bring on the very best show possible for our industry partners and attendees, and we look forward to seeing you all next year.
Regards,
John Hwang

B&T displayed their 9mm APC9K, recently adopted by the US Army as the new Sub Compact Weapon. So far, 10 weapons have been delivered and an order for the remainder of the initial procurement of 350 APC9Ks should be soon. Ultimately, the Army requires about 1,000 SCWs for the requirement outlined below.
The SCW requirement arose from the Military Police. United States military operations take place worldwide and in all types of terrains as well as under every environmental condition. The Secretary of the Army and/or the Chief of Staff approves senior commanders and key personnel as High Risk Personnel (HRP). HRPs are authorized a Personal Security Detail (PSD), which are assigned to guard against outlined threats. To address this operational need, PSD military personnel require weapons with greater lethality than pistols that are more concealable than rifles. The ultimate objective of this program was to acquire a highly concealable Sub Compact Weapon (SCW) system capable of engaging threat personnel with a high volume of lethal force while accurately firing at close range with minimal collateral damage.
Although it’s seen here equipped with an Aimpoint ACRO Red Dot Sight, there’s no word on which, if any, optical sight the US Army will use. They do however, come equipped with backup iron sights.
There is a great deal of interest in the SCW by federal law enforcement. Interestingly, B&T can provide lower receivers which accept GLOCK or SIG P320 magazines, rather than the proprietary B&T magazines seen here.
Mission First Tactical showed their new trays, just launched on their website today.
They’re highly durable and available in several patterns. The smaller compartment fits my iPhone 8+ perfectly.
Taylor Freelance makes accessories for competitive shooters like their T-Mag AR-15 +3 Baseplate.
It not adds three extra rounds to a Magpul M3 PMAG, but it also serves as a non-skid platform for shooting off of the bipod. The curve makes it easy to quickly adjust rifle elevation.
Additionally, the design incorporates a built-in tab to facilitate reloads from a pouch.
Available in Red, Aluminum, Black and Blue as well as with a coupler kit to attach two together.
CMC Triggers purchased Sun Optics USA and is completely revamping the line. Right from the get go, they’ll acknowledge that these are value priced optics. While they’re introducing a new line of variable power optics, they also have three new Red Dot Optics.
Firs off are the RAID Micro and Wide Angle RDOs. Both offer a 2 MOA dot with 11 brightness and 3 Night Vision settings. The Micro has a 26mm lens and the Wide Angle 30mm.
The Micro boasts 50,000 hours due to a Rheostat switch and the Wide Angle and 40,000 due to digital push button controls. They use a 2032 battery.
They feature a cast aluminum housing and both models come with Absolute, Lower 1/3 and Low mounts.
There is also an unnamed pistol RDO coming from Sun Optics.
During TRIGGRCON, CMC Triggers released the new Combat Curve Trigger. It’s a Drop in model, offered in Semi and Full auto configurations as well as single and two-stage. It will be available in any trigger weight currently offered by CMC Triggers. Look for it in four to six weeks.
