Leander, TX (01/19/2023) – The perfect hybrid of precision rifle and tactical, the Black Collar Arms Priapus Grip delivers the hand positioning, shape, and control of a PRS-style grip with the size, circumference, and light weight of a tactical AR-style grip. It’s the first precision grip that you can also run and gun with. But wait, there’s more!…

The recessed, smooth fields on all four sides of the Priapus Grip are specifically designed for the application of skateboard grip tape (just like our Black Box magazine). This allows the end user to customize the aggressiveness and color/pattern of the Priapus Grip’s grip texture. One set of grip tape panels is included, and additional sets are just $5.

At launch, laser-cut sand texture grip tape panels are available in Black, Gray, OD Green, and Brown, as well as rubber pebble texture in Black. These grip tape panels are easily applied by the end user and are durable and reliable, yet remove cleanly should you want to swap them out.

We particularly like running a rubber pebble texture panel on the side that faces the shooter’s body when carrying the rifle on a sling, and sand texture on the rest. 

Skateboard sand texture does not slip, wet or dry. It’s insanely grippy in all conditions yet it feels good in the palm of your hand.

Rubber pebble texture offers a medium grip level but is very comfortable against skin and won’t scuff up clothing or scratch things.

The Priapus Grip is symmetrical with a mild palm swell, an arched backstrap that drives the hand into the correct position, and a nearly vertical, relatively square front strap that’s both comfortable and highly indexable.

On any rifle or large format pistol, from full-size PRS guns to subguns, the Priapus Grip’s unique shape, angle, size, and grip textures ensure it feels right at home and outperforms the competition. It’s the best AR-compatible grip on the market!

MSRP is $39.99, but it’s on sale for $35 for pre-order customers only!

Leander, TX (01/16/2023) – The Black Collar Arms Desperado system allows the use of a guitar strap as a rifle sling, complete with locking QD attachment. Not only are guitar straps incredibly cool looking and available in thousands of styles and dozens of materials, but they make for some of the most comfortable, best rifle slings going! 

No surprise there, as guitar straps and strap locks are designed to hold heavy, expensive guitars comfortably and securely for hours on end. Some even offer fast, single-handed length adjustment like some of the best tactical rifle slings!

Desperado is available in five versions for mounting a guitar strap quick release locking lug to any firearm model via its:

• QD sling cup
• M-LOK slot
• M1913 Picatinny rail
• Sling swivel stud
• Universal design with a 0.250-inch hole for the use of 550 Paracord (included) or other solution.

Desperado is compatible with standard guitar strap locks (e.g. Schaller, Fender, the ones available on the Desperado product page, etc.) and nearly any guitar strap you so choose. Simply pull up on the guitar strap lock’s spring-loaded pin to attach or detach the lock from the Desperado lug (Schaller locks click right onto Desperado and lock in place without even having to touch the pin). Letting go of the pin locks the strap in place automatically.

At launch, Black Collar Arms is carrying strap locks and four different guitar straps for your one-stop-shopping convenience.

From tactical flowers…

To skulls and roses…

To red jacquard weave…

To waxed canvas, hand-tooled leather, padded leather, neoprene, corduroy, and every color, pattern, texture, and width you can imagine, there’s a guitar sling out there screaming your name. 

If you aren’t into one of the four we’re carrying at this time, there are literally thousands on Amazon that are fantastic and inexpensive, and your local Guitar Center or similar store will have dozens if not hundreds in stock. Some, like the D’Addario Auto Lock, quickly snap on, lock to, and quick detach from Desperado without requiring separate strap locks.

“We knew Desperado was a cool idea, given the near-infinite number of truly badass guitar straps out there, but we didn’t realize it was also a good idea until lugging guns slung with guitar straps all around a Texas ranch hunting for hogs. It turns out most guitar straps make for some of the absolute best, most comfortable rifle slings ever made. I’ll never go back.” 

– we totally made up that quote, but the story is true

Jeremy, Black Collar Arms Co-Owner, is going to get a tattoo of the Desperado logo soon. It’ll be his first! If a t-shirt is more your speed, they’re HERE.

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich. – (January 13, 2023) Arcane Concerted is excited to announce the much anticipated second release of their LowPro Rail Attachments, now open for preorder.

The LowPro Rail Attachment is a simple, yet elegant, design made to bring multiple functions to market in one small package. On one side, you’ll find a traditional 4-position QD mount compatible with any reputable male QD sling attachment currently available. On the other side, it features an even more functional loop to be used in conjunction with Arcane’s flagship product ArcBands, a reusable retainer band primarily used for cable and sling management. Additional uses for the alternate side of the LowPro Rail attachment include securing sensitive items, as well as playing host to numerous other sling hooks and attachment methods.

“I wanted something with a small footprint that I could still use in conjunction with our ArcBands. I wanted the attachment to be functional and versatile, and the engineer team crushed our goal and even made it look nice. Several revisions and 3-D printed models later, here we are.” said Charlie, owner of Arcane Concerted.

Preorder begins January 13 at 4:00 p.m. CSTl. Orders will begin shipping roughly 6-8 weeks after preorders open.

The rail attachments are made using MIM grade 17-4PH stainless steel powder, high temperature sintering, and a heat treatment process resulting in a hardness of >HRC 34. The LowPro Rail Attachments are coated in QPQ (black) and PVD (FDE).

“We noticed a lot of people using zip ties to attach our ArcBands to their rail systems. This caused more wear on a product we developed specifically to take more of a beating and last long enough for our customers to get a lot of value from it. We wanted to make something that could clip on the rifle to prevent losing bands at the range or on duty; which unfortunately wasn’t very economical. We went back to the drawing board to bring something to the table that offered better value and cost to our end users. Now we have a product that can not only handle the initial intention, but offers multiple other functions for end users as well.”

The LowPro Rail Attachment is designed, manufactured, and coated in the USA and is available to purchase through the Arcane Concerted website. Retailers and distributors interested in carrying Arcane Concerted products can reach out to themanager@arcaneconcerted.com for more information.
