SHOT Show – GLOCK

Friday, January 23rd, 2015

Perhaps generating the biggest buzz at the Glock booth was the new MOS or Modular Optic System pistols. The fairly recent trend of mounting miniature reflex optics to pistols has prompted Glock to offer their own optic-ready slides for various Glock pistol models.

Seen above is the Glock 34 MOS. The 34 is a long slide 9x19mm Glock, which has seen use in many competitive shooting events, making it a perfect fit for the new MOS line. The slides come standard with a removable cover plate, for use without an optic, as well as the necessary Torx wrench and screws. The MOS also comes with four adapter plates to accommodate most popular optic models.

Currently, the G34 Gen4, G35 Gen4, G41 Gen4, and G40 Gen4 are the four models slated to come out in the MOS configuration, although if the MOS line turns out to be popular enough it’s likely Glock would expand the MOS slides to other models. We were also told that currently the MOS has to be purchased as a complete pistol and the slides will not be sold separately. They are set to ship shortly after the completion of SHOT Show.

Wilson Combat/Bravo Company BCMGUNFIGHTER 1911

Thursday, January 22nd, 2015

The enhanced grip pattern of Wilson Combat’s X-TAC 1911 has become the standard with hard users who run the 1911 platform in extreme service environments. You can now get this unmatched grip security and styling in a special X-TAC model exclusive to Bravo Company MFG-The BCMGUNFIGHTER 1911.

This outstanding tactical package retains the core features of the X-TAC and adds a tactical light rail and other select performance options that BCM’s experts demanded like the Bullet Proof One Piece Magwell, solid medium trigger and tritium front sight. Wilson’s renowned Armor-Tuff finish was chosen to offer a non-reflective and corrosion resistant finish that can stand up to the most severe global environments. In tandem with the BCMGUNFIGHTER/VZ G-10 grips, the frame’s X-tread pattern locks securely into the firing hand and reduces muzzle flip without snagging on clothes or cover garments.

“Wilson Combat has a legendary history in manufacturing fighting 1911s, and serious hard-use guns are what BCM is all about. We are very excited to collaborate with Wilson on a special gun, built to our specifications with carefully chosen and battle ready options. BCM builds weapon systems that are manufactured to meet the unforgiving needs of law enforcement, military, security and peace keeping professionals in some of the most high stress environments and situations in the world. Forged from a gunfighter’s no-nonsense mindset, we believe the BCMGUNFIGHTER 1911 carries on this tradition in a fighting handgun.”
– Paul Buffoni, President, Bravo Company MFG

The newly announced Wilson Combat/Bravo Company BCMGUNFIGHTER 1911 is available exclusively through Bravo Company.

Wednesday, January 21st, 2015

Boise, ID — 19 JAN 15

GEMTECH introduces the newest additions to the 300 Blackout line. Whether you are looking for an economical training round or a lethal hunting round, supersonic or subsonic, GEMTECH has you covered.

Providing excellent stopping power and precision, the supersonic 125gr Nosler 300BLK ammunition delivers not only the ballistic performance that you demand, but also the smooth extraction and reliable feed that intense action hunting requires. This hunting load gets the job done each and every time.

If you’re looking for an economical training round, GEMTECH’s supersonic 147gr FMJ 300BLK is the ammunition for you. The 147gr FMJ projectiles in this round are brand new and from a single manufacturer. These cartridges provide a bullet that punches through some of the toughest materials. GEMTECH doesn’t accept excuses not to train.

GEMTECH has maximized the famous Sierra Match King Hollow Point Boat Tail in the company’s new subsonic SMK 220gr HPBT 300BLK load. This bullet design delivers the ballistic performance, accuracy, and stopping power required of tactical professionals in high stress scenarios.

Despite claims by the competition, Gemtech has developed the quietest and most accurate loads for the 300BLK available, at a better price and with a more versatile family of cartridges than anyone else.
