Midwest Industries Announces Release of Scout Light Extended Mounts

Friday, February 11th, 2022

Adjusted Light Placement Offers Visibility and Frees Up Handguard
Waukesha, Wis. (February 9, 2022) — Midwest Industries announced that it has released a new line of Scout Light Extended Mounts for the commercial, law enforcement, and military markets.

The mounts are designed to securely attach SureFire’s Scout Light Pro WeaponLights and other compatible lights to any M-LOK® or Picatinny-enabled firearm. The unique forward placement, coupled with the low- profile design of the Pro Series, minimizes shadows from suppressors and muzzle brakes, offering shooters an unobstructed beam of light. The design opens up space on the handguard for roomier hand placement or attaching accessories.

“By positioning lights forward three inches, our new mounts take advantage of the Pro Series design to offer unmatched visibility in low-light conditions,” said Troy Storch, Owner of Midwest Industries. “With these mounts, shooters can aim with confidence even in the darkest night.”

Midwest Industries offers Scout Light Extended Mount options for both M-LOK® and Picatinny platforms, incorporating the following features:

• Designed for the SureFire Scout Light Pro Series, with options for other compatible lights
• Moves light forward 3 inches
• Constructed of Hard Coat Anodized 6061 Aluminum
• Made in the USA
• Lifetime warranty

Edgar Sherman Designs Glock Gen 5 Magwell

Friday, February 11th, 2022

Since the start of ESD Edgar has been working on perfecting the handgun reload. From hours of dryfire to numerous classes and observation of professionals he’s set out to achieve the sub second reload and increase his efficiency as a shooter. Through training and experience Edgar learned a lot about how users reload, the issues they encounter, and how we compensate for them. The primary lesson learned is that it comes down to efficiency and consistency as a shooter. Training both day and night in all weather conditions brought new experiences to the table.  Another lesson learned is that while skills are important, the equipment used can either optimize or detract from the experience. Shooters in icy and sandy environments struggled with stripping magazines when magwells were added, and we took note. We listened to shooters working in no light/low light conditions struggling to locate their pistol grip and properly align mags. We watched competition shooters fumble their mags after removing their index finger early to avoid hitting the magwell during reloads.

After years of shooting, observation and dryfire Edgar set out to solve the problems he observed and experienced first-hand. With the expertise of Patrick Law from BP Knives we began development of the first ESD Glock gen 5 magwell. This is the first pistol magwell that’s design understands human ergonomics and motion. A magwell in a class of its own that not only looks like a Ferrari but it performs like one too.

Every curve, every angle, every feature on the ESD magwell is intentional and aligns with our mission to enhance a shooter’s capabilities using human centered design. Featuring symmetrical side cut outs for stripping magazines, the ESD magwell allows for easy removal of flush fitting magazines as well as those that have an extension. Additionally, a third cut out is located on the front of the ESD magwell. This third cut out is especially useful in low light/ no light conditions and serves as a reference point for the shooter which allows them to focus on the task at hand rather than worrying about fumbling a magazine during a reload. The angles on the inside of the magwell allow for a greater margin of error when inserting mags and will “course correct” if they are ever inserted at an off angle.

The ESD Magwell is proudly manufactured with the help of our good friends at Parker Mountain Machine in New Hampshire. We want to support American manufacturing as well as our local community at every opportunity, so for us this partnership was a no brainer. For us, It’s important to not only source a quality product, but also work with a company we trust to maintain strict quality standards at every step of the manufacturing process. The magwell is made of high quality 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized black. The ESD Magwell is currently available for Glock Gen 5 double stack 9mm and .40cal pistols, with support for other handguns coming in the future.

We’re very excited for the launch of the ESD magwell, and hope you are as well. The ESD magwell launches Friday 02/11/2022 and will also be available with our dealers. We can’t wait to see them out there in the wild!

SilencerCo Releases a Gas Defeating Charging Handle That Actually Works

Thursday, February 10th, 2022

February 10, 2022 — West Valley City, UT — SilencerCo is excited to announce the release of their new Gas Defeating Charging Handle (GDCH) which significantly redirects the blow back of gas associated with shooting AR-15 platforms. Compared to similar products on the market, SilencerCo’s Charging Handle has a unique attribute: it actually works.

The GDCH has a proprietary design feature that incorporates an O-ring seal to prevent gas from escaping from the most prominent point of egress. This seal mitigates the amount of gas that is blown back into the shooter’s face, creating a more comfortable and enjoyable shooting experience.

In addition to significantly redirecting blow back, the GDCH offers ambidextrous levers for a smooth process when charging or clearing a rifle. It is completely manufactured in-house and is machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum. Shooters can utilize the GDCH with all common chamberings for the AR-15 platform.

“It’s been a long time since we have seen a product that so greatly improves the user experience while shooting the AR platform suppressed,” said Product Manager, Andrew Herbst. “Now shooters don’t have to choose between protecting their hearing and dealing with hot gas blowing into their eyes and affecting their ability to breathe. The SilencerCo Gas Defeating Charging Handle is the answer to this common problem.”

The GDCH has an MSRP of $114.00 and is available through the SilencerCo webstore and at local dealers. It will be shipped with one O-ring already installed and one spare.

Product Specifications:

– Uses an O-ring seal to redirect blow back
– Machined from aircraft grade 7075 aluminum
– Type III Hard Anodize finish
– Features ambidextrous design for intuitive manipulation and smooth charging
– MSRP of $114.00

Blackhawk Releases New Knoxx AR Polymer Handguards

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, announces new Knoxx AR Polymer Handguards, delivering superior barrel control and heat protection in a slim, ergonomic profile.

Available in both carbine and mid-length models, Knoxx AR Handguards use integrated front hand stops with light texturing and an aluminum heat shield to give the shooter a safe, solid and comfortable grip on the rifle as well as to promote more precise shot placement. The lightweight polymer construction and heat shield also bolster the handguard’s overall durability so it can withstand bumps and bruises in the field or at the range.

A completely ambidextrous quick-detach sling mount gives the shooter more versatility, and MLOK mounting points at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions make the sling/handguard setup more customizable.

Black Collar Arms APS

Tuesday, February 1st, 2022

Austin, TX — Not a shoulder stock, not a pistol brace, the brand new Black Collar Arms APS — Adjustable Pistol Support — is a height adjustable rest designed to support a precision pistol on a bench, the ground, or another surface. It’s a brand new category of rear accessory for firearms and is ideally suited to large, accurate pistols. 

While a pistol brace is designed to brace against the shooter’s body — typically on the forearm — for extended-arm firing of the pistol, the Black Collar Arms APS isn’t designed to contact the shooter’s body. Used as a second or third point of contact on a solid surface, the APS provides a stable, height-adjustable rear rest with vertical point of aim adjustment accomplished by simply rotating the monopod.

The Black Collar Arms Adjustable Pistol Support will be available first in a clamp-on design for pistol buffer tubes and anything that accepts a Gear Head Works Tailhook MOD 1. On a buffer tube it can be adjusted forward and rearward to align with a given shooting bench, rock, side-by-side dashboard, hunting blind, or other support surface.

Seen here in rough prototype form, the production APS will have the ability to accept popular bipod feet in the bottom. With bipod feet available in styles ranging from rubber bumpers to machined aluminum spikes, there’s one to accommodate every type of support surface and shooting style.

Shipping is slated to begin in April, 2022. Pricing is still subject to change, but the MSRP target is $149.95.
