Forward Controls Design Expands Pistol Optic Plate Lineup for Glock Slimline Pistols

Thursday, December 28th, 2023

Forward Controls Design is excited to introduce the OPF-G43x/48, RMR, a new addition to our OPF family of optics plates. This plate allows Glock 43X MOS or Glock 48 owners to mount a full-sized RMR, SRO, or RCR on their factory-milled slide. The reason we wanted to offer this is that despite the RMRcc being almost identical in width the RMR, some have expressed the sacrifice in window size between the two makes the RMR the preferable choice, even on smaller pistols.

The OPF-G43x/48 RMR mount not only raises the mounting surface but also includes lugs and a front recoil fence to securely hold the sight in place. The package includes 2 plate-to-slide screws, 4 sight-to-plate screws, and a packet of VC-3 Vibratite. The OPF-G43x/48 RMR is lightweight and features a large lightning cut that is hidden once installed, helping to reduce unnecessary weight.

All our RMR OPF plates have recoil lugs that meet specifications and are never undersized. These recoil lugs are essential to prevent mounting failures, as using screws alone as recoil lugs with the RMR footprint is insufficient. We are proud to say that this design has had no failures throughout the lifespan of the product family, knowing that users can trust it.

FCD’s plates focus on three criteria: a design that holds optics securely, tight tolerances, and strong material selection. These criteria are essential for LE and MIL applications. FCD supports factory-milled slides, providing a standardized mounting solution for a wide range of optics. FCD uses US-sourced 4140 steel and machine shops with tight tolerances. OPF optics plates ensure secure mounting that maintains zero during drops, one-hand manipulations, and battery changes (RMR).

FCD primarily develops plates for LE and MIL pistols and supports optics made in the USA and allied countries. The OPF-G, RMR plates have gained a reputation as the best plates for Glock MOS and RMR. FCD has been supplying these products to LE, MIL, and civilian customers since March 2020. We continue to aggressively expand our OPF line, recently adding plates for the PDP, VP9, Staccato, and the FN 509T. All our products are proudly designed and manufactured in the USA.

The Zero-8 Vertical Foregrip from True North

Tuesday, December 26th, 2023

Introducing the newest multi-angle vertical foregrip, The Zero-8 from True North.

The Zero-8 was designed to give the end user the ability to set the angle from 0 to 8 degree of cant, allowing you to figure out what works best for you or adjust for more barrier-stop or hand-stop use. Made of billet 6061-T6 aluminum and Type III Hardcoat anodized, the Zero-8 is built for hard use. The zero-8 features a 2-tier groove system on the front and back spine. This allows for comfortable gloveless use while retaining our history for superior barrier grabbing. The bottom perimeter is notched for added grip when resting the Zero-8 on most any surface.

Now Shipping – Dual Tension Carbine Stock from Magpul

Thursday, December 14th, 2023

Magpul pulled the best features from their CTR and SL lines and added a new, locked-down auto-engaging friction lock to create the Dual Tension Carbine Stock.

The DT Carbine’s A-frame style includes a unique, non-slip butt-pad that combines the rollover footprint of the SL line with the optimized curvature of the CTR stock. The ambidextrous lever and rotation limiting QD sling mount make handling and adjustment easy, and the DT is even compatible with CTR Cheek Risers for variable cheek height.

Note: It is compatible with Mil-Spec profile receiver extensions.

The new DT Carbine Stock is now shipping in Black, with FDE and ODG coming very soon.

WindSceptor Wind Speed and Range Finder

Thursday, December 14th, 2023

The WindSceptor from Optical Air Data Systems is a laser wind and range finder which remotely measures wind speed, direction, and range-to-target.

The system works by firing series of 1550nm eye-safe laser pulses into the atmosphere. As the laser pulses travel through the air, a small fraction of the laser light is reflected from microscopic dust particles naturally entrained in the air. Sensors detect this reflected light and compute the speed and direction of travel of these dust particles (and consequently the speed and direction of the three-dimensional wind) using the Doppler Principle.

Thunderbolt
There are currently three devices in the WindSceptor line:

Tempest is a 3.25 lbs handheld binocular. Measurement range out to 5,000m as well as head and crosswind measurements in six range gates between 50m and 500m.

Thunderbolt is a 14 oz rifle mounted device. Measures range to 1600m and head and crosswinds from 80-100m. Thunderbolt also includes visible and near-infrared laser pointers and illuminators.

WindSceptor 4 weighs 8 lbs and features an integrated optic and integrated tripod. It ranges out to 5,000m as well as head and crosswind measurements in six range gates out to 1,000m.

All of the systems feature integrated GPS/IMU and offers Bluetooth as well as cursor-on-target data output as well an internal rechargeable battery.

Naturally, you’d immediately consider this technology for use on weapons to improve accuracy and it’s already being used for that.

However, there are applications in the aviation realm which bear consideration. For example, Combat Controllers could use a system to read winds around assault landing zones to improve safety. Likewise, Drop Zone Safety Officers could read winds on large DZs rather than relying on limited wind speed sampling using an anemometer.
