The Multi-Mission Sling System from Magpul is listed as coming soon, so we thought it would be a good time to remind you about what it’s all about. Here, Chris Costa discusses the various advantages and attributes of the Ms3.
For one, thing as you can see, they’ve developed purpose built hardware rather than the shackle previously used.
The SHOT Show teasers are starting early this year. Take for example this, from Knights Armament Corp.

The commercially available version of Colt’s new .308 rifle is the SP901 rather than CM901 (Colt Modular). It will go for a cool $2,129.00. What makes this rifle so special is that with a simple change of upper receivers, you can covert the 901 from .308 to .223. No other alterations to the rifle are required thanks to the 901’s innovative magwell.

Hill People Gear has been offering the Raven VanGuard for some time now and I am intrigued with the concept. Available for both the Glock and M&P, the VanGuard was originally envisioned by Shay VanVlymen of Mindset Laboratory and manufactured by Raven Concealment Systems. It is designed to protect a pistol’s trigger from accidental squeeze while being stored in non-holster carriers such as day or fanny packs. The VanGuard is tethered so that during the draw it will pull free from the trigger guard. Hill People Gear sells them for use with their Kit Bags and Runner’s Kit Bags, but the VanGuard looks like it would be a good pairing with many carry options.
Panteo Productions has introduced Make Ready with Travis Haley: Adaptive Kalash. With over 100 million Kalashnikov variants produced it is the most widely proliferated military rifle in history.

Haley discusses various models you will encounter and goes over correct loading techniques, safety manipulation, and dealing with malfunctions. Additionally, he addresses common misconceptions surrounding the use of the AK platform at long ranges are addressed, along with establishing a zero that works for your situation.
Make Ready with Travis Haley: Adaptive Kalash will begin shipping at the end of December and pre-orders are already being accepted by Panteao.
