Unity Tactical FUSION Friday

Friday, August 10th, 2018

FUSION, by Unity Tactical, is a system of modular, multi-purpose components that provide end users unparalleled flexibility in mounting accessories to weapon platforms.  It offers complete control in attachment of lights, lasers, sights, and other equipment to achieve complete integration, optimal placement, lightest weight, and most economy of space.

This FUSION configuration features the Micro Hub 2.0 and LightWing – Left.  The Micro Hub 2.0 features a top hole pattern that matches Steiner DBAL lasers (A2, A3, I2 models).  DBAL variants are heavily used by military and law enforcement agencies around the globe, while the Class1 versions are very popular among armed citizens in the US.  The factory mount can be removed and replaced with the FUSION Micro Hub 2.0, creating a more compact platform for attaching other accessories, like lights.  In this case, a Surefire M600U Scout Light has been affixed to a FUSION LightWing – Left.  This configuration will cantilever the light backwards and place the bezel in line with the emitters on the DBAL-I2.  The Scout Light’s factory mount has been removed to create a direct mount with the LightWing, and thus a lower profile that is also raised above the bore.  This entire configuration is much more compact than using factory mounts and allows for a 12 o’clock placement of a dual pressure switch (like the pictured TAPS Standard) on a shorter rail like this Daniel Defense RIS II.

FUSION components are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and MILSPEC Type 3 anodized.  Designed and made in the US from US materials and good ole’ fashioned American innovation.  FUSION is the original and best modular accessory mounting system.  Make your gear work for you, not the other way around.

ZEV Technologies – Gen5 PRO Trigger

Friday, August 10th, 2018

To complement its growing line of Glock Gen5 parts, ZEV Technologies is now offering their PRO Trigger for the Gen5 Glock 9mm. The re-designed and re-engineered ZEV PRO trigger pad, released at SHOT 2018, utilizes a revolutionary riveted assembly process that makes it the longest lasting and most reliable replacement trigger on the market. Constructed of Mil-Spec hard-anodized aluminum, ZEV’s triggers feature a wider pad and safety for better user engagement with improved ergonomics. Glock users have known for years that the most critical upgrade they can install to increase the feel and performance of their trigger is to purchase a ZEV Technologies PRO Trigger. Combined with the ZEV PRO Connector (included) you will notice a considerable increase in performance with a lightened trigger pull and a crisp, positive reset.

• Available in red or black safety
• Assembled and ready for drop-in installation

Magpul Releases Bipod

Thursday, August 9th, 2018

I’ve wanted one since I first saw it, and now the Bipod is available from Magpul.

img_4188.jpg

Manufactured from Mil-spec hard anodized 6061 T-6 aluminum and injection-molded polymer, the design is optimized for rapid one-handed adjustments thanks to spring-tensioned legs which stow neatly forward and snap down and lock into place with one hand. Leg extensions slide and lock securely with the push of a button on any of the seven half-inch spaced locking detents. The legs extend a full four inches, from 6.3” to 10.3”. An industry-exclusive 50° of total tilt and 40° of total pan are controlled by a glove-friendly knurled tool-less bipod locking knob located between the extended legs, allowing easy adjustment between shots. Additionally, the Magpul Bipod has the exclusive ability to lock pan at 0° while maintaining full tilt functionality.

85D7BDAB-EC96-4F98-88D1-39E81483B729

It is also very low-profile. Folded, the streamlined housing and legs fit neatly under the barrel and are just under 2.3” deep and 3.3” wide.

A soft rubber bipod locking knob cap is attached to the locking knob gives users a steady, non-marring forward rest while the bipod is folded. Additionally, its staggered soft rubber feet hold fast on a variety of shooting surfaces and are easily removed with a roll pin punch. Additionally, the legs accept most Atlas pattern bipod replaceable feet.

The Bipod is offered with three different attachment options:
M-LOK
Picatinny
A.R.M.S. 17S Style

While all three attachments are currently available, you can currently only order the Bipod in Black. However, I’m told FDE will be available very soon.

Unity Tactical FUSION Friday

Friday, August 3rd, 2018

FUSION, by Unity Tactical, is a system of modular, multi-purpose components that provide end users unparalleled flexibility in mounting accessories to weapon platforms.  It offers complete control in attachment of lights, lasers, sights, and other equipment to achieve complete integration, optimal placement, lightest weight, and most economy of space.

This FUSION configuration features the Micro Hub 2.0, Backup Iron Sight – Folding, and Lightwing – Right.  As configured in the photos, it creates a perfect combination for a laser, light, and BUIS.  The Micro Hub 2.0 is ambidextrous and can set the accessory mounting surface on either the right or left side of the host rail and can be placed in front or behind a laser.  Placing it behind allows the laser to be put at the very front of the rail with no interference.  The Back Up Iron Sight – Folding will completely clear laser apertures if placed in front of a laser module, but some users prefer to have the laser as far forward as possible to facilitate manual operation.  The LightWing – Right will cantilever a weapon light forward if placed on the right side of the rifle.  It will also accept a direct mount Surefire Scout or Millennium series light as well as Streamlight PRO-TAC Rails Mount lights.  This configuration will push the light forward so it is in line with the laser.  The LightWing will also raise the light above the bore, so it is not obstructed by barricades.

FUSION components are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and MILSPEC Type 3 anodized.  Designed and made in the US from US materials and good ole’ fashioned American innovation.  FUSION is the original and best modular accessory mounting system.  Make your gear work for you, not the other way around.

It is based  on  a  full  billet  aluminum  skeleton,  covered in polymer. It is also fully  ambidextrous.  As Magpul claims, “lefties”  haven’t  been  “left  out.” It accommodates  both  right  and  left-handed  actions  with  the  simple  swap  of  a  bolt-cutout  plate,  and  features  a  reversible  cheek  riser  and  reversible  hinge  on  the  folding  version.

Features:
•Type III hard anodized machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum V-bedding block, body, adjustment knobs and forend with high strength injection molded polymer body covers optimally placed for comfort and aesthetics

• Butt pad height can be adjusted up 1.33” and down .90” and is adjustable left or right for a total of 5 degrees
• Comb height adjustment has a 1” range with a secondary locking knob to eliminate movement in the cheek riser
• Cheek riser features a 3-position fore/aft adjustment of +.375”, 0” and -.375” which can also be changed for left or right side usage using only a common hex wrench
• Injection molded polymer grip with 5 degree forward edge sweep and enlarged palm swell with 7 degree aft edge sweep for enhanced user comfort combined with a .75” fore/aft adjustment range using a common hex wrench
• Additional grip option included with a more aggressive sweep and enlarged palm swell for the shooter that is more inclined to a less vertical grip interface (8 degree forward / 20 degree aft edge sweep)
• Durable cast steel rotation limited QD sling swivel mounts with Melonite® finish fits up to 1.5” push button swivels
• M-LOK® slots for accessory mounting on the forend (left-6/right-6/bottom-7) and the stock (bottom-2)

Triggrcon 18 – Gen 2 AR15 Spade Grip from KNS Precision

Monday, July 30th, 2018

I love seeing innovative work around for foolish gun laws. Although the Gen 2 AR15 Spade Grip from KNS Precision has been around for awhile, it fits the bill for those who live in areas with firearm feature-focused restrictions. Plus, it looks like a lot of fun.

60F86A4E-633B-454D-A17E-99F5CEEDF39A

This newer version of the Spade Grip will fit both semi-auto and full-auto platforms and allows the use of after market enhanced trigger guards and billet receivers which have the trigger guard built in.
