– Blast Matchâ„¢ Firestarter and WetFire tender
– Saber Cutâ„¢ Saw with fabric sheath

– Polaris® compass

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
GG&G EOTech Cover
The new GG&G EOTech Lens Covers fit between the EOTech hood and body of the housing. The patent pending, ambidextrous design is spring operated so that once pressure is applied they release open. The rear lens cover scope folds on top of the protective hood for unimpeded aiming. The front not only stops reflections and serves as a sun shield but also protects thr lens from scratches and other damage during transport . The front lens cover is engraved with “FRONT TOWARD ENEMY”.
The Scope Lens Covers fit EOTech models 511, 512, 551, and 552, and serve double duty by preventing glare when they are not in use. As with all GG&G products, the lens covers for the EOTech are made in the USA at our Tucson, Arizona factory.
They are made in the USA and available for purchase at GG&G.
TNVC SAR-3PS
Monday, March 30th, 2009
TNVC has released a new thin ring SAR-3PS unit that is only 1/4″ wide (ring portion) to fit in very tight spots. Naturally, the “S” at the end of the mount name denotes slim. The slim unit was designed since so many rings take up a lot of real estate on the primary scope and can be difficult to fit properly. Just like the already successful SAR-3P it is a 30mm design. TNVC also offers a SAR-4 which features a 34mm ring.
Prior to the new slim design, the SAR-3P improved on the earlier SAR-3 as it has one Picatinny slot cut into the center slot and the rest is Weaver. The SAR-3P is also a 1/4″ shorter than the previous SAR-3.
To order, visit Tactical Night Vision Corporation. As always, TNVC has some great package deals on offer.
10-8 Performance Magazine Base Pad for S&W M&P
Monday, March 30th, 2009Anyone who owns a S&W M&P knows that the stock magazine base plates are less than ideal. Machined from aluminum which eliminates cracking and breakage seen with plastic pads, these S&W M&P base pads are works of art. A lot of thought was put into the design including a shortened front to provide a more positive index in the hand during reloads. This also eliminates the snagging of mags in adjacent pouches. Additionally, the plate is scalloped on the front and sides to provide purchase for the extraction of stuck magazines. Finally, dimples on bottom allow for the marking of magazines. Available for the .45 and 9/.40.
Available from 10-8 Performance.
