Thursday, January 1st, 2015

AR-15 and SIG-556 URBAN-SENTRY Hybrid sling

Urban ERT Slings is a Veteran-owned business founded by a former Marine. They offer a line of hand-made single, two-point, and three-point slings for a wide range of weapon systems. Their URBAN-SENTRY Hybrid sling, for example, is a sling design capable of being configured as a single-point or two-point sling right out of the bag. It comes with an ACE-LP 1.25″ front Picatinny rail sling mount and rear sling attachment receiver plate; the system is 100% ambidextrous. When used in single point mode, users can utilize the Speed Loop Weapons Catch Adapter to secure the front of their weapon to their off hand hip or sling when in use.

An included cinch strap allows the user to quickly cinch their sling, which also features a breakway system to rapidly detach from the sling as needed. It also features a wide strap for comfort and a single row of PALS webbing sewn onto the strap for the weapon catch, although it can also be used for a variety of PALS-compatible accessories.

Urban-E.R.T. Slings are available in the following colors: Black, OD Green, Coyote Tan, MultiCam, ACU Digital, A-TACS AU, Marpat Woodland, and Marpat Desert. Made in the USA.

Turns out, that cool wooden holster can be attached for use as a stock.

So, it would seem that this would make it an NFA item if you attached the stock to the pistol, no? Actually, the answer is “no, it isn’t.” Due to the age and value of these guns, they are exempted by the ATF.

Beretta Announces The M9A3 Pistol

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2014

M9A3-b

Recently, Beretta has announced the M9A3, the next generation of the M9 US Military Service Pistol. The M9A3 is being submitted via an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) in accordance with the terms of the current M9 contract.

“The M9A3 represents the next generation military handgun utilizing the best of the legacy M9 combined with proven COTS modifications that increase performance and durability” stated Gabriele de Plano, Vice President of Military Marketing and Sales for Beretta USA. Mr. de Plano added, “After listening closely to the needs of U.S. Army and other Service small arms representatives, we determined the M9, much like its counterpart legacy weapon systems (M4, M16, M240, etc.), was capable of being upgraded through material and design changes. The resulting M9A3 we are offering to the DOD will likely cost less than the current M9 and answer almost all of the Services’ enhanced handgun requirements.”

The M9A3 features:

– A thinner grip
– Removeable, modular wrap-around grip
– 1913 accessory rail
– Removable front and rear tritium sights
– Extended barrel with threading for a suppressor
– 17-round sand-resistant magazine
– Improvement to various small components
– Comes in an Earth Tone finish

Additionally, an LE/Civilian variant will be launched at SHOT Show 2015, and is expected to be commercially available sometime in second quarter 2015.
