Haley Strategic – D3 Rifle Sling

Friday, January 22nd, 2016

What started as a custom design built for his Force Recon platoon during a deployment became a lifelong mission for Travis Haley to build a rifle sling that works around the end user, and no the other way around.

The D3 Rifle Sling can be run in single point or two point configuration and has been designed to transition between the two moments. The sling includes two, positive locking QD swivels and features Haley’s proven, SDI single hand quick adjustment system.

The sling also debuts a low profile pad, inspired by climbing harnesses created by the world’s leading mountaineering companies. A 5-layer laminated construction sealed with stretch woven materials, the pad provides stability and comfort without adding weight or bulk.

The D3 Rifle Sling is the result of over 15 years of continuous use, revision and improvement, delivering a versatile platform intuitive to the point where the becomes a natural extension of the body.

SHOT Show – Ruger American Pistol

Friday, January 22nd, 2016

In addition to the Silent-SR rimfire suppressor, the other big announcement from Ruger at this year’s SHOT Show was the Ruger American Pistol. With the American, Ruger joins the legion of striker-fired, polymer-framed, external safety-exempt pistols that were popularized by the Glock series. Ruger’s own take on this formula consists of a handgun with a one-piece, glass-filled nylon grip frame, and a stainless steel slide with a black nitride finish. Barrel length comes in at 4.2″ for 9mm, and 4.5″ for .45 ACP. Interestingly, both the 9mm and .45 share very similar dimensions, with the width staying constant at 1.4″, and the .45 being only slightly larger in length and height; the weight for both calibers also stays just under 2 lbs.

The American comes with a Mil-STD-1913 Picatinny accessory rail for attaching a light or laser, and ambi slide stop and mag release controls. The grip can be customized with one of several different sized grip modules between Small, Medium, and Large; only Medium and Large are available for the .45. Additionally, the American comes standard with Novak LoMount Carry 3-Dot sights.

These are available on the market now, so be on the lookout at your local firearms retailer if you’re interested in purchasing one for yourself.
