Do All Guns Have to Be Black?

Monday, November 19th, 2012

As gun culture 2.0 becomes more prominent don’t you think it’s about time that we see some alternative firearms colors to Black and Flat Dark Earth?

After all, what’s the point of Cerakote, DuraCoat and others producing all of those color options if they aren’t going to be put to use? Take for example this brace of Ruger pistols coated in Cerakote’s H-243 Safety Orange with H-146 Graphite Black by Rogue Tactical Coatings. Sure, it looks like a Nerf gun to me but for a Beaver support somewhere, it’s attractive.

Cerakote has a full gallery of coated guns on their site at www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/gallery that ought to get the creative juices flowing.

And, as we begin to see more and more ladies enjoying shooting sports, I’d expect to see some innovative paint schemes showing up. Believe it or not, not every woman dreams of a pink gun. We’d love to see some of your firearms out there that have received unconventional paint jobs. Why be boring?

BFG only has 47 available, stemming from a small overrun of a special sling for a select customer. These are a padded 2 to 1 point convertible sling in ultra-rare Desert Digital pattern.

There are two versions of this sling – one with a UWL-PB in the rear for weapons with rear eyelets and one with a push button swivel and Burnsed Socket. Both slings have RED Swivels sewn in the front for emergency release and quick one handed two to one point conversion.

Additionally, they’ve incorporated their exclusive brown anodized aluminum hardware, as well as other pieces not previously released to the public, to perfectly match the Desert Digital webbing for the ultimate in signature reduction.

Savvy Sniper QUAD X Sling

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012

The Savvy Sniper QUAD X slings are designed and manufactured by an Ohio SWAT Officer and offered by Emerging Tactical Solutions. QUAD stands for Quick Universal Adjustable Deployment. These versions are constructed with AustriAlpin Cobra buckles and metal hardware throughout the sling. It is a convertible single point/2-point sling with a unique, quick adjust cuff that looks to be easy to get ahold of and easy to use. This adjustment also means no straps hanging to tangle up on gear.

It’s available as well with ITW Nexus buckles as seen in the video as well as ambidextrous models with QD and HK Hook options.

GATOR Shot Spreader

Monday, November 12th, 2012

If you’re like me, you probably read everything you could about Viet Nam while growing up and remember hearing about the ‘duck bill’ attachment for the muzzle of the Mossberg designed to spread the shot in a wide horizontal pattern. USN SEAL Chief James “Patches” Watson talked about using the ‘duck bill’ in his book Point Man.

Paradigm SRP, designers of the innovative TALON gyro stabilized gun platform featured here on SSD last year, have worked to develop a modern version of that shot spreading concept fr the combat shotgun. Their creation is the Gator. It is designed to shoot #4 shot like the original as well as 00 buckshot and offers a 6 foot horizontal spread at 12 yards.

Their biggest challenge in modernizing the concept was to correct the breakage issues seen with the original model developed over 40 years ago. Additionally, they’ve improved the mounting. Unlike the duck bill which was welded on the end of the shotgun, the Paradigm Gator uses either a Saiga shotgun adapter, or an internal choke system for numerous other brands of shotguns.

One of the coolest things about the Gator is that they are giving back to the community that originally used the duck bill. A portion of proceeds will go to support the SEAL museum. Feel free to learn more at www.paradigmsrp.com/our-products/gator-shotgun-spreader.

If you’d like an opportunity to win a free Gator, visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pages/Paradigm-SRP and “like” Paradigm SRP. They will announce the winner on November 17th.

Tactical Walls

Sunday, November 11th, 2012

Everything has to be ‘tactical’ these days but regardless, they seem to be an interesting concept. Kind of like a firearms version of a medicine cabinet. Thanks to Tactical Fanboy for finding these.

Tactical Walls are a great option for discreet and secure storage of your firearms and accessories. Tactical Walls install directly in the wall where they can easily be secured behind picture frames, mirrors, or in the back of a closet, and are optimized for installation with standard pine 2×4 construction which is framed 16 inches on center. They currently come in two sizes, the 1410, meant for handguns and other small accessories, and the 1440 (seen above), meant for rifles and shotguns and accompanying accessories. Both models are constructed from durable ABS plastic with foam rubber pads.
