Unity Tactical’s FTC Magnifier Mounts are genius. The mount stores the magnifier when not needed within the footprint of the weapon, no more stuff hanging off to the side, and it doesn’t occlude the Red Dot Sight when stowed. When employed the sight’s centerline is 2.26″ above the rail.
It’s pretty straight forward. SIG has a limited run of P320 X-Series hand stippled grip modules available. Only available in Medium size and Black.
Wilcox Industries has been working on powered weapon rails for years, but now International customers are beginning to field their FUSION system.
Wilcox refers to FUSION as an “electrical power management system” which provides centralized power to the weapon’s accessories via a removable Battery Management Power Supply System for CR123A with primary and backup power switch. It also works as a data bus.
This waterproof battery case powers the system and is mounted to the 6 o’clock position just in front of the magwell.
The system is modular. The triangular inserts are for heat mitigation with a Remote light/laser Activation Switch which can also be inserted into these slots. The light module was developed with SureFire and uses their Vampire head for White and IR illumination. Like everything else, it’s is removable and the compact form factor is thanks to the central power source.
Below, you can see FUSION Reflex Sighting System and 3X magnifier with flip mount. The Reflex Sight is based on Wilcox’s BOSS.
The final component to FUSION is BTAC, a software system which serves as a Blue Force Tracker and fuses data from other Wilcox systems like the RAPTAR-S rangefinder. In addition to a power and data bus, FUSION incorporates a shot counter which can be depicted on the Reflex Sighting System. It can also monitor the temperature of the weapon.
Additional accessories are under development. Wilcox has also developed other versions of FUSION for other weapons like the Beretta ARX160.
US Tactical Supply is showing Raven Wrap.
Key Points:
-long term sustainment behind the tripod
-enhanced shooting support heights
-enhanced conceal ability
-integrates tools even while stripped down (ie: zip ties, accessory straps, Kestrel pouch)
They’ve also got a JP Rifle with a Badger C1 Mount and Leupold MK5 all done in a Prismatic Green / Red Brown ceracoat finish which came out awesome.
Scalarworks showed is a version of the Leap Mount with 1.93″ height and 34mm rings. This is great for the new Vortex 10x. The Leap is CNC milled from 7075-T6 billet. It also incorporates a hinged ring system rather than the split rings found on other mounts.
Håkan Spuhr showed is this new side folding stock for the MP5.
We asked him if it would fit 5.56mm H&K guns. He said he hadn’t tried it out yet, but that it definitely as the going to work as it is for a G3 family rifle due to the recoil springs.
Spuhr AB is exhibiting with with Mile High Shooting Accessories.
OTIS Technology gave us a sneak peek at their new Automated Suppressor Cleaner. It uses heat and pressure to pump a liquid cleaning medium through the suppressor on a timed cycle. It is a scalable technology and can be offered with multiple ports for suppressors or a tray for other parts.
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.
