XS Sights Introduces Night Sights for Taurus GX4

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021

Fort Worth, Texas (November 2, 2021) – XS® Sights, manufacturer of the fastest sights in any light, is now offering a wide variety of its popular night sights for the new Taurus® GX4™ micro-compact 9mm pistol. These line extensions are also available for the Taurus G3c.

XS sights give shooters an advantage 24/7 thanks to the company’s proprietary sight technology. XS’s photoluminescent Glow Dot surrounds the tritium vial in the front sight and activates even before the tritium does, giving defensive shooters an edge in any light, day or night.

DXT2 Big Dot

The Big Dot leads the industry in size and has a self-illuminating tritium center surrounded by XS’s photoluminescent Glow Dot technology which drives focus to the front sight. The Big Dot is available in Optic Yellow or Optic Orange. The DXT2 Standard Dot is available in Green. All DXT2 sights feature a V-notch rear with vertical tritium stripe, creating a dot-the-“i” sight picture and eliminating the possibility of confusing the front and rear sights in high-stress situations.

R3D

The R3D has a traditional 3-dot tritium, notch and post sight picture. The rear sight is blacked out to increase contrast against the front sight which is available in bright Orange or Green. The brightly colored Glow Dot in the front sight is a much brighter color which differentiates the front tritium dot from the two rear tritium dots.

Minimalist

The minimalist has a self-illuminating tritium vial in the front sight surrounded by an Orange photoluminescent Glow Dot and blacked-out, serrated, non-tritium rear sight.

DXW2

DXW2 tritium night sights are available with a Big Dot (Orange or Yellow) or Standard Dot (Green) front sight with a white stripe, non-tritium rear sight. The white stripe offers superior visibility of the vertical bar, which aids in sight alignment in bright light settings and performs well in low light. The increased surface area of the white stripe also enhances visibility for shooters with farsighted vision issues.

Choose the XS sights that best suit your eyes and get on target faster in any light – day or night.

All XS sights are backed by a 10-year, No Questions Asked Warranty and XS’s 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

Now Shipping – Magpul’s PC Backpacker Stock for the Ruger PC Carbine

I’ve been waiting for this one. Announced last year, the PC Backpacker for the Ruger PC Carbine is similar to Magpul’s X-22 Backpacker Stock which breaks down easily and stows conveniently into a compact, portable package.

The stock also features two convenient storage locations. The first is a water-resistant compartment in the grip that provides enough room for a small multi-tool, survival equipment, or cleaning equipment. The second is a compartment in the riser section that’s roomy enough for an extra loaded pistol magazine such as a PMAG 21 GL9.

Additionally, it incorporates a ergonomic hand guard with M-LOK slots at the 3 & 9 o’clock positions and interchangeable cheek risers. There’s also an MOE SL rubber butt-pad offering an anti-slip surface.

AUSA 21 – T-Worx Intelligent Rail

Thursday, October 14th, 2021

You may have heard of a Picatinny Smart Rail or Powered Rail which is the NATO STANAG 4740/AEP-90.

The T-Worx Intelligent Rail offers centralized weapon enabler power and control. The intelligent rail is Mil Std 1913 compatible but features an embedded, ruggedized printed circuit board (PCB). The battery is located in the butstock and connects to the rail via jumpers which follow contours of the lower receiver. Alternatives include a pistol grip battery or a mount directly to the rail.

Technically, it’s a power AND data rail but most users have concentrated on the ability to centrally power their enablers. The new Gateway Node seen in this photo, attached to the 3 o’clock rail position allows all of the enablers attached to the rail to communicate with other item’s in the Soldier’s network like an End User Device. It is compatible with the U.S. Army’s Intra-Soldier Wireless (ISW) protocol.

Wednesday, October 13th, 2021

Exhibiting in the ADS, Inc booth, Blackbridge Defense offers the Shadow Mount and Swing Arm Assembley.

The weapon is easy to mount and dismount thanks to their spring loaded pin.

There is a rail along the right side of the mount to accept the universal ammo compartment which accepts two SAW drums or a 7.62 ammo can. The lid is replaced on the latter and there are two magnets in the compartment’s lid to hold your linked rounds at the ready so they won’t fall back inside the can. Additionally, the lid is ratcheted into place. Finally, there are detent holes for proper alignment with both M240 and M249 feedtrays.
