Overwatch Precision – BRZ Springfield XD-S Trigger

Sunday, March 12th, 2017

Overwatch

The first reduced pre-travel, flat-faced trigger for the XD-S.

We all know that small guns can be less fun to shoot, and often that’s because they come with heavy, creepy, gnarly triggers. The aftermarket trigger market for handguns has long been dominated by products for only a handful of polymer guns; we aim to change that with the BRZ Trigger.

The Overwatch Precision BRZ features a hybrid flat/curved trigger face, allowing a uniquely self-correcting, straight rearward press, combined with insane comfort. Pre-travel has been reduced as much as possible without compromising firearm safety features, and the result is a clean, crisp break with reduced overtravel, and a tactile reset.

Each trigger shoe and trigger safety tab is machined in the USA out of 7075-T6 billet aluminum alloy, anodized and affixed with stainless steel coil pins.

The EDC X9 is the latest pistol from Wilson Combat, a double stack 1911-pattern 9mm pistol designed principally as a carry pistol. Sized similar to a G19, the EDC X9 features an aluminum X-Frame, an X-TAC frontstrap/mainspring housing treatment, and various Wilson Combat Bullet Proof components: the hammer, mag release, and thumb safety. The 4″ barrel and the chamber are both fluted, and the EDC X9 is designed as match grade; it comes with an accuracy guarantee of 1.5″ at 25 yards. Also like a G19, the EDC X9 features a 15+1 capacity.

Additional features include:

  • Black G10 grips
  • Elevation adjustable Tactical Battlesight
  • Fiber Optic front sight

    IWA – H&K Solicits IWA Attendee Feedback for Next Commercial Rifle Project

    Friday, March 3rd, 2017

    H&K has employed pollsters to query IWA attendees in their booth on which rifle project they should undertake next.

    Attendees are shown prospective rifles in wood or gray composite stocks and asked to questions about which they would prefer H&K to introduce in the future. Additional options include Carbon Fiber furniture as well as wuations about Picatinny rails and sight systems.  The weapons are all semi-auto and are based on previous designs such as the MR308 and G3. No word on when, or if, the decision will be made to offer one or more of these prospective designs.

    The ETHOS Package From Overwatch Precision

    Thursday, March 2nd, 2017

    ETHOS

    Our ETHOS.

    The ETHOS handgun modification package is designed from the ground up to be a fighting handgun. We’ve taken a venerable platform and tweaked it to meet our extremely high standards.

    The grip is stippled to ensure secure purchase during long strings of rapid fire, with hands that are wet or bloody, or when dexterity is compromised by cold weather or gloves. We optionally remove finger grooves to fit the grip to our client’s hand, not the other way around. Additionally, we undercut the trigger guard to allow as high of a grip as possible, for greater recoil control without the discomfort of the infamous “Glock Knuckle” experienced by many with a stock trigger guard.

    The ETHOS slide has been expertly milled by ATEi, and in keeping with their reputation they have turned every unused surface of the boring, factory rectangle of steel into an advantage. The muzzle end is narrowed and bullnosed to allow ease of re-holstering, while the enhanced forward cocking serrations do not extend across the frame rail channel where strength is of paramount importance. the forward cocking serrations, in conjunction with ATEi’s signature fish scale top serrations (developed in partnership with Steve Fisher of Sentinel Concepts) allow the end user the same confidence that our stippled grip does; any weather, any malfunction, one hand or two, the job will get done.

    The ETHOS RMR cut is also done by ATEi, and is made-to-measure with recoil bosses for a specific RMR housing, providing a level of fit and optic protection not seen elsewhere in the industry. The slide is finished in QPQ (Black Nitride) to prevent corrosion and harden the surface of the steel. Optional cerakote is available, but will never be substituted for the QPQ, we don’t take shortcuts.

    Naturally, the ETHOS comes with our tigger, tuned up and installed for a trigger press even cleaner and crisper than our drop in kits.

  • 360 Degree Stippling for a secure grip in adverse conditions
  • Magazine Scallop (Gen2/3 Only)
  • Optional finger groove removal for enhanced ergonomics
  • Trigger guard undercut for better recoil management and comfort
  • Enhanced forward and rear cocking serrations, with top serrations for easy one or two-handed manipulations under the worst of conditions
  • Bullnosed Slide for ease of reholstering
  • Tuned Overwatch trigger of your choice
  • Made-to-Measure RMR cut, backed up with all black suppressor sights
  • QPQ (Black Nitride) metal finish with optional Cerakote on slide, frame and trigger
  • Available with a variety of add-ons

  • IWA – Recon Company Offers Big Sky Racks’ Electronic Weapon Mounting System

    Thursday, March 2nd, 2017

    Germany’s Recon Company offers the Electronic Locking System made by Big Sky Racks, which is a weapon storage solution for vehicles. It keeps the weapon secure but allows instant access when needed via the touch of a button, unlike standard key locking systems which take valuable time to access the weapon. The system is also padded to avoid rattle. In the event the vehicle completely loses power, the weapon can still be accessed via a key. Key options are standard, handcuff and barrel.

    While this model holds an MP-5, they are available for a wide range of weapons.

    Enforce Tac – H&K Unveils New .300 Rifles – HK237 and HK337

    Wednesday, March 1st, 2017

    At Enforce Tac, H&K has introduced two new weapons. The HK237 is a .300 Blk/Whisper variant of the G36 and the HK337 is a .300 Blk/Whisper version of the HK416. Unfortunately, both are currently only intended for military and police markets and offered as full auto weapons, but the .300 cartridge is picking up steam here in Europe. Perhaps we’ll see civilian versions yet.

    IMG_0006

    Below is a photo of the HK237 which is kept under glass with bright lights shining on it to deter photography. You’ll note the folding stock which features a cutout to allow firing while wearing a ballistic visor. Both rifles incorporate 9″ barrels.

    When I asked about a .300 version of the recently introduced H433, I was told it was in the works.
