BCM – Kinesthetic Angled Grip

Wednesday, November 12th, 2014

Click to view .pdf

The much anticipated BCM Kinesthetic Angled Grip is finally available. It’s the result of an ongoing collaboration between BCM and Travis Haley, offering an ergonomic forward grip with a reduced profile.

Manufactured from high-quality, impact resistant polymers, the KAG offers shooters a bio-mechanically efficient handstop platform which complements modern shooting grip techniques. Its forward rake design creates an interface for positive retention and joint limitation relief to the wrist, elbow, and shoulder for smooth weapons manipulations without adding substantial girth to a weapons system. The KAG is textured front and back for positive manipulation.

The KAG comes in two configurations: KAG-KM for KeyMod, and KAG-1913 for Picatinny rails.

The KAG-KM utilizes a patent pending snag free internal mounting system, allowing shooters to take advantage of KeyMod, one of the most popular and versatile weapon mounting systems currently available.

The KAG-1913 uses BCM’s Direct Mount Picatinny 1913 Interface System which spreads energy and force throughout the accessory while securing the grip to the mounting surface.

The KAG is available in Black, Foliage Green, Flat Dark Earth, and Wolf Gray.

Daniel Horner Wins 3-Gun Nation Pro Series Championship With PROOF Research Carbon-Fiber Barrel

Monday, November 10th, 2014

Daniel Horner, a Staff Sergeant from the US Army Marksman Unit recently won the 2014 3-Gun Nation Pro Series Championship using a PROOF Research Carbon-Fiber Barrel. The full release can be read below:

Tulsa, OK / October 25, 2014 – Horner, a Staff Sergeant from the U.S. Army Marksman Unit (AMU) battled 32 of the nation’s top 3-Gun competitors for the National Champion title, including two exciting final man-on-man elimination matches against fellow AMU Shooting Team member, Sgt. Matthew Sweeney.

The 2014 3-Gun Nation (3GN) Pro Series Championship Finale was the culmination of a six-event series held throughout the year, in which shooters competed in the same division, Tactical Optics, in a heads-up points race to qualify for the season-ending finale and a shot at the crown.

After having switched from a 12.5” steel barrel just weeks before, Horner used a 16” PROOF Research carbon fiber barrel to dominate the rifle portion of the match. “We are incredibly excited for Daniel,” stated a PROOF Research representative. “Competition at this level is decided in 10ths of seconds and one point at a time. For Daniel to have chosen our barrel for the Finale is a real honor.”

Horner’s win makes him the only competitor to have won two 3GN Championships since the series began in 2010. In addition to his title Horner took home a $50,000 check courtesy of Leupold Tactical Optics and NRA Sports. The Championship was filmed for broadcast later this year on Sportsman Channel and Pursuit Network.

Check Out The New Compact Stubby Grips From Wilcox

Monday, November 10th, 2014

We checked out the new stubby Wilcox grips at AUSA. In addition to the folding option, the grips are hollow with cap. Finally, as is expected, you can attach switches to the grips.

Newington, NH—Wilcox Industries is introducing two new weapon mounted vertical grips that are designed with the same quality of their originally designed grips but only half the length. The new Stubby Grips are designed to fit comfortably in your hands while attached to any 1913/STANAG style weapon rail. The Stubby Grip comes in both a standard fixed vertical and folding para model design. Wilcox Stubby Grips are perfect for scenarios when compactness, ruggedness and streamlining of the weapon are a must.

The Para Stubby Grip features a hinged mechanism that allows it to fold up against the rail. This feature allows for streamlining of the weapon during dynamic operations and also eliminates the need to remove the grip for stowage. The Steady Stubby Grip is also available in a standard fixed vertical grip.

The grips feature a thumbscrew mounting system that allows for easy and sturdy mounting on any standard 1913-MIL-Spec Rail. Both versions of grips are made of lightweight and robust aerospace grade aluminum that is Type III anodized and features a molded polymer sleeve, which ensures a secure grip during severe operational and environmental conditions.

The Para Stubby is 4.0 inches long and weighs .410 lb. while the Steady Stubby is 3.25 inches long and .245 lbs. Please contact Wilcox Industries at www.wilcoxind.com or 603-4311331 for ordering and pricing information.

Maker Monday – WeaponLink from S&S Precision

Monday, November 10th, 2014

So far in this series we’ve seen several new items from S&S Precision. They’ve also updated exiting products but the one that has received the biggest makeover is the WeaponLink. The application remains the same. It’s optimized for keeping your weapon out of the way for hands free work such as climbing, swimming or detaining personnel.

Interestingly enough, this is a bit of a “back to the future” moment as early iterations of the WeaponLink were closer to this style. It still consists of two components but the new version of the WeaponLink has been consolidated into a modular design eliminating the old, type-specific variations (MOLLE or Belt) utilizing third-party components and now attaches utilizing the SSP Gear Retention Track (GRT).

New features include:
·Zero weapon rotation
·Rigid and vertically stable weapon orientation
·Gear Retention Track modularity
·Snag-Free Design
·Broad Receiver Opening for faster placement
·Lower angled engagement surfaces for intuitive tracking
·Lower Profile Picatinny Rail Grabber with single bolt clamping
·Enhanced Rail Grabber profile for hand positioning/stop along the rail system
·Spring ball material is a wear-resistant plastic reducing material stress over time and reduced audible snap

SureFire Ryder .22 Awarded Suppressor Of The Year By Guns & Ammo Magazine

Monday, November 10th, 2014

It’s been announced that Guns & Ammo Magazine has awarded the SureFire Ryder .22 their Suppressor of the Year award. Congrats to SureFire for the award! The full release can be read below:

Fountain Valley, CA — SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of high performance illumination tools, suppressors and tactical products, has been awarded the first ever suppressor of the year award for the Ryder .22 from Guns & Ammo magazine.

“Suppressor use is quickly gaining wider acceptance for its inherent safety benefits and the joy it brings to people who use them,” said Eric Poole, Guns & Ammo Editor. “Combine a new lightweight suppressor design optimized for America’s favorite rimfire and you have Guns & Ammo’s top pick.”

The .22 Ryder features a unique pig-nosed baffle design that provides superior sound attenuation while still making it easy to service. Each baffle is Red Mil-Spec hard anodized to minimize finish erosion and makes carbon buildup easier to spot when cleaning. Built-in spacers also help reduce carbon buildup between the suppressor tube and baffle stack, and each baffle is numbered and indexed to make re-assembly effortless. An assembly/disassembly tool is included with every suppressor.

The ultra lightweight Ryder comes in at a mere 3.1 ounces due to its fluted body design and rounded edges. A stainless steel threaded interface ensures the Ryder removes as a single unit, and its single–point cut ½ x 28 threads provide a secure attachment to any .22 pistol or rifle with a ½ x 28 thread pitch. At only 5.4 inches in length, and 1 inch in diameter, the SF Ryder .22 will not weigh down or obstruct your sight picture.

The SF Ryder 22-A comes with an assembly/disassembly tool, and suppressor pouch. MSRP is $429 and is available for purchase through authorized SureFire Suppressor dealers. For complete product information visit www.surefire.com/ryder22.
