Tango Down – Vickers Tactical Grip Plug/Takedown Tool For Glock

Friday, December 18th, 2015

1

The Vickers Tactical Grip Plug/Takedown Tool or GGT01 is a 300-series stainless steel Glock takedown tool overmolded into a glass-filled nylon handle, which is designed to seat within the grip cavity of the Glock pistol. The tool itself is similar to the Glock factory tool, allowing users constant access to a tool when field stripping and maintenance is required. The GGT01 also has unique shape within the grip, which allows it to function as a ramp and positive index point for rapid magazine insertion. Additionally, the GGT01 seals off the grip cavity, which prevents dirt and debris from entering the trigger control components.

The GGT01 is designed to function with various GEN 3 Glock models, with GEN 4 to soon follow.

Currently available in Black, Glock Tan, and Grey.

Kinetic Development Group Announces The Release Of The Scarging Handle

Friday, December 18th, 2015

FullSizeRender 53

Today, KDG launches their new Scarging Handle – SCAR ambidextrous charging handle. Designed by KDG’s Nathan Murr (A USMC veteran, and inventor of the GripStop), there was heavy input from operators in the field during the development process. The new design was focused on addressing the reported user complaints surrounding the factory FNH SCAR charging handle and its performance during hard use.

The Scarging Handle fits both 5.56 and 7.62 NATO versions of the SCAR, and installs in seconds.The radius-faced design, and swept geometry of the Scarging Handle allows the user to achieve a more solid grasp when manipulating the bolt. This allows for easier charging, clearing of stoppages, and administratively locking the firearm bolt to the rear. The shooter can choose between left or right side installation to match their hand dominance, and can rotate the Scarging Handle to either downward or upward sweep. The downward sweep protects the hand from “busted knuckles” due to optics mounts by keeping it down and away from the weapon’s top. This also has the added benefit of additional leverage gained, and increased grasping surface for larger hands or when wearing gloves. The Scarging handle can alternatively be installed with the curve upward, which provides the user a slick side receiver to prevent snagging or “SCAR Thumb” (i.e. having the reciprocating charging handle strike your hand when using a magwell hold or unconventional shooting method). All Scarging Handles are constructed of low carbon 1080 steel, and finished with a durable black, mil-spec finish. The accessory protrudes less distance from the receiver than the factory unit, and is profiled to be snag-resistant when wearing body armor or other gear.

MSRP is $49.00, and is available NOW on KDGs website and at their authorized dealers.

When asked about the second round of these special make-up GLOCK’s Larry said, “One thing we wanted to do this edition was take the feedback of customers and incorporate those ideas into this limited edition. The green fiber optic front sight and the grip plug with integral takedown tool are perfect examples of that. Combined with the grey color, these will set a new standard for unique configuration GLOCK pistols.”

    The first Vickers Tactical / Lipsey’s Exclusive FDE GLOCKS were an overwhelming success and Product Development Manager Jason Cloessner couldn’t wait to launch the two-tone grey edition. “Our exclusive grey GLOCKS have been extremely popular. Doing a follow up run of Vickers Tactical pistols in grey has been at the top of our request list.”
