VZ Grips Releases First Ever One-Piece G-10 AR Grip

Sunday, November 6th, 2016

November 7th, 2016: VZ Weapon Solutions (A VZ Grips Company) is proud to announce its newest revolutionary product; The VZ AR Grip (ARG). The ARG’s are precision machined, and textured G-10 AR pistol grips designed to work with every AR variant currently available in the market. The ARG’s are precision machined out of one solid piece of G-10 laminate (A first ever!). The end result is a “rock solid” & controlled grip.

With innovation and function as their leading edge, VZ did not rest on its laurels by merely matching their popular patterns to an AR pistol grip. VZ re-designed the ARG from the ground up. The grip angle on the ARG was adjusted to a 17 degree angle to prevent grip fatigue and allow the shooter maneuverability around tight spaces. The ARG also comes in two sizes to accommodate every shooters needs, a standard and “Shorty” version are available.

“We hope to continue to offer folk’s products that they can depend on day in, and day out.”, “VZ Weapon Solutions is more than just a side project for us, it’s our way of showing the newer generation of shooters that we are looking out for them too.” -John VanZyck (VZ Grips Owner).

Color options will eventually be a myriad of patterns/ colors to match all of their existing gun grips. For now the first available patterns will be: Alien, Frag, Recon, Diamond Slant, and Operator 2. MSRP starts at $95.00 for Standard, and Shorty grips.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – 1911 Magazine Base Pad

Friday, November 4th, 2016

This week’s Friday Focus covers something completely different from FirstSpear. If you haven’t figured it out yet, FirstSpear loves the M1911A1. They’ve introduced this FirstSpear 1911 Magazine Base Pad and Chip McCormick 1911 Magazine combo. That’s right; the base pad comes installed on a Chip McCormick magazine.

It’s made from Aluminum and gives the base pad a little weight so magazines will free fall easily during a speed reload. The pad also features a hard anodized finish. Additionally, there are grips enhancements on bottom of the base pad to assist in firmly locking the magazine in place and the toe of Base Pad is dished out to aid in removal of a difficult magazine.

You’ll notice that the middle groove is quite pronounced. This accommodates the FirstSpear bungee cord speed tab.

Currently available for 1911 series pistols, look for more models to follow.

Speer LE Raises The Bar For Duty Handgun Ammunition With Gold Dot G2

Friday, November 4th, 2016

LEWISTON, Idaho – August 17, 2016 – For years, Speer Gold Dot has been the pinnacle of duty handgun ammunition performance. New Gold Dot G2 builds on this reputation with a next-generation duty bullet design. Shipments of this new product are now being delivered to Law Enforcement dealers.

Instead of a large cavity in the nose, Gold Dot G2 has only a shallow dish filled with a high-performance elastomer. On impact, the material is forced into specially designed fissures to start the expansion process, as opposed to conventional bullet designs, which need target media to enter the hollow point and create expansion forces. The result is extremely uniform expansion, and more consistent penetration across barrier types, gun platforms and barrel lengths.

Features & Benefits
• Passes FBI Protocol Testing
• Nose features a shallow, dish-shaped depression filled with elastomer
• Expansion begins on impact, when elastomer is forced into engineered internal fissures
• Extremely uniform upset and penetration
• Exclusive Gold Dot construction virtually eliminates core/jacket separation
• Structural-plated, pressure-formed core
• Excellent reliability and feeding in duty firearms

Part No. / Description / MSRP
54226 / 9mm Luger 147-grain Gold Dot G2 / $18.95
53999 / 40 S&W 180-grain Gold Dot G2 / $20.95
54256 / 45 Auto 230-grain Gold Dot G2 / $22.95

Speer is a brand of Vista Outdoor Inc., an outdoor sports and recreation company. For more information on Speer, go to www.speer-ammo.com.
