After its initial showing at SHOT 2015 and months of refinement, Magpul is now shipping the PMAG D-60. The D-60 is a 60-round 5.56/.223 polymer drum magazine for AR15/M4 compatible weapons. Despite its increased capacity, the height of the D-60 is still manageable for prone firing and storage. The D-60 features an easy-to-use loading lever, paint pen dot matrix, and a rear window for capacity indication.

(Wilsonville, OR)— In case you have not noticed lately, nights have become very long. It’s dark when you leave for work and very dark when you return home. In darkness is often where danger lurks, so be prepared to survive. Light the night.
Anyone can light up the night with various Crimson Trace products. For more than two decades, the Wilsonville, Oregon based manufacturer of laser sights and firearm lighting systems has been helping gun owners everywhere take control of the darkness. Numerous Crimson Trace innovations help light the nights.
The leader of the lights could be Crimson Trace’s Rail Master Pro products. These laser sights (red or green laser diodes) and bright light combos are packed with features, including: Instant Activation, Tap-on/Tap-off, a battery saving 5 minute auto shut off sensor if inactive, and a powerful 100-Lumen LED white light. Modes of operation are: laser and light, laser only, light only and laser with strobe light. Rail Master Pros easily and quickly attach onto pistols, rifles and shotguns with M-1913 Picatinny and Weaver-type accessory rails. More details on the CMR-205 (red) and CMR-204 (green) Rail Master Pros are at www.crimsontrace.com.
Crimson Trace also offers the Rail Master as a lighting option. The CMR-202 is a 100-Lumen LED light unit that can be set to momentary, strobe and constant-on lighting. This unit is also available with a C-Tan exterior coating. Like all Rail Master products, the units can attach to a wide assortment of rails on long guns and handguns.
Anyone owning a popular 1911 compact or full-size pistol can obtain the LTG-701 to illuminate the darkness. This Lightguard packs a 130-Lumen LED white light and powers up with Crimson Trace’s patented Instinctive Activation. A similar unit, with a 100-Lumen LED white light, is the LTG-736 Lightguard that fits nearly two dozen Glock Gen-4 and Third Generation pistols. A similar Lightguard, the LTG-760, is designed for precision fit onto a Smith & Wesson M&P full-size pistol. Some of these units can be installed on pistols equipped with Lasergrips laser sights.
Anyone with a full-size Springfield Armory XD and XD(M) pistol will find that the Lightguard LTG-746 is a perfect fit onto those pistols’ trigger guard. Another lighting innovation is the Crimson XChange Technology that permits changing from a light to a laser—or back—on a Ruger LC9S pistol.
Last, but not least, are the military style Modular Vertical Foregrips from Crimson Trace. The MVF-515s are offered with either red or green sighting lasers that are partnered with powerful 200-Lumen LED white lights. Side buttons permit operation with Instinctive Activation.

The HDPS conducted an extensive independent testing of several 9mm handguns from a number of manufacturers, including SIG SAUER. At the conclusion of the testing, the Hawaii Department of Public Safety selected the 9mm P320 Full Size and Carry due to the platform’s reliability, accuracy, ease of operation, safety, care and maintenance, and cost. The contracts called for more than 725 pistols and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition to be delivered within 60 days of both contract awards.
SIG SAUER delivered all 725 weapons and more than 1.2 million rounds of ammunition ahead of schedule as well as coordinated the transition training and armorer certification of 25 HDPS personnel within a week of delivery.

In this morning’s Daily Mail is an article on the new equipment being deployed by the London Metro Police’s Counterterrorist Specialist Firearms Officers. The photos are great and show the unit’s new Arc’teryx LEAF Enhanced Combat Uniforms in Wolf Grey.
Unfortunately, the Daily Mail got the rifle wrong again. Last time they identified the gun as an H&K. This time, they got the make right but the model wrong. Rather than identifying it as an MCX like the one we showed you during DSEI, a London Police source claims it is a 516.
NEWINGTON, N.H. (November 16, 2015) — SIG SAUER, Inc., changed the way the world looked at handguns with the introduction of the modular P250 series. Now, with the introduction of the P250-22, that same versatility is available in a rimfire option.
Built on the same platform as the centerfire P250 variants, the P250-22 offers an affordable option for plinkers, instructors, and newer shooters. Chambered in the venerable .22LR cartridge, the P250-22 is a reliable, fun-to-shoot handgun for all levels of shooter.
“The real benefit to the P250-22 lies in its ability to be converted to fire centerfire rounds, such as 9mm, .40 or .357SIG,” said John Brasseur, Director of Product Development for SIG SAUER, Inc. “This allows newer shooters to work up to the more powerful cartridges, and is a great tool for introducing youth to the shooting sports.”
The P250-22 features the same serialized fire control group as on centerfire models. This unit is the actual “firearm” and can be installed in a variety of grip modules. This versatility allows the P250-22 to be fit to any hand, and with the addition of an X-Change kit, can be converted to centerfire.
Full-size, compact, and subcompact X-Change kits mean the P250-22 can be set up as a centerfire duty pistol, concealed carry gun or backup piece in seconds. The smooth double-action only trigger offers a consistent, clean trigger press, which stays the same regardless of the caliber or configuration.
“The P250-22 is truly a ‘one-gun’ solution,” Brasseur said. “Thanks to the wide variety of caliber and grip module options, the P250-22 can meet any need and fit any hand.”
Offered in the Compact configuration, the P250-22 is now shipping to SIG SAUER dealers across the nation. For more information, please visit us at www.sigsauer.com.
Bravo Company Manufacturing is now offering a line of 300 Blackout upper carbines and upper receiver groups in Recce 16″, 12.5″ CQB, and 10″ pistol configurations and lengths. One of the greatest benefits of 300 Blackout ARs is that they utilize virtually all of the same parts and components as an equivalent 5.56 AR, allowing shooters to use the same magazines and accessories between rifles chambered for either caliber. This modularity extends towards BCM’s 300 Blackout uppers, which come standard with the KMR-Alpha forend.
BCM’s 300 Blackout line is built on their 1:7 twist 11595E Certified Steel Barrels. Both the bore and chamber are chrome-lined, and each barrel features a continuous taper profile “designed to optimize balance, performance and weight”. Additionally, BCM barrels lack the sharp handguard cap shoulder common on AR-platform barrels, the removal of which is designed to improve barrel harmonics and accuracy. The 300 Blackout line also includes the BCM Comp Mod 1 – 762/300 BLK.
BCM Gunfighters Travis Haley and Tom Spooner has this to say about 300 Blackout:
My main requirements in a combat round are versatility and recoil control. In testing 300 Blackout over the years, I have found it performs from CQB range out to, and exceeding, 500 meters. Despite having a slightly more potent impulse, the recoil is still manageable, which means a shooter can engage threats quickly and, given the increased mass, more efficiently.

The ability to have the power of a .30 caliber round, with minimally increased recoil over a 5.56×45 round in a sub 10 inch platform is ideal for most soldiers in Direct Action units. As fielded, in an AR pattern carbine, the operator is already familiar with the operating system and ergonomics of the weapon.
