OTTO Enhanced Micro Comms Kit

November 5th, 2020

Users have been asking OTTO to integrate their NoizeBarrier Micro in-ear hearing protection with their other comms systems like the H3 seen here. The issue has been that they didn’t want encrypted comms going into a Bluetooth enabled earpiece.

They made it happen by introducing a new earpiece with dual leads. This way the signals are kept separate.

It works with the H3, Listen Only and Surveillance kits.

True North Concepts recognizes that this holiday shopping season will rely heavily on online shopping, with shipping delays a likely, if not probable side effect of overcommitted package carriers. TNC has decided to kick “Black Friday” off a few weeks early, to help ensure customers receive their purchases well before the rush. With the popularity of the Modular Holster Adapter, TNC has received numerous customer requests to expand the MHA’s compatibility past those only using Safariland® 3-hole pattern holsters with additional common holsters. The first such additions are for G-Code® and Blackhawk® holster configurations.

T-Series Adapter

The new MHA Blackhawk T-series adapter plate allows shooters to use the True North Concepts Modular Holster Adapter with popular holsters such as the Blackhawk Omnivore. This adapter bolts onto the holster, and then onto the MHA. An added benefit of this adapter is that it will allow T-series holster users the ability to attach the proven Safariland QLS quick detach system for use in conjunction with the MHA. Each T-series adapter is made from the same rugged USA produced 6061 T-6 Aluminum as the MHA and is MILSPEC Type 3 hard coat anodized for superior corrosion and abrasion resistance. Simply mount the lightweight adapter with the included hardware to the holster and then mount the assembly to the MHA. This set up provides all of the same height and cant adjustment advantages the standard MHA provides over other systems.

Specs:
• MILSPEC Type 3 Hard coat anodized black finish

You Never Know Where They’ll Show Up

November 5th, 2020

Hello SSD,

This time I send KCRF-greetings from Venice, Italy. You may have expected the Daint Marcus Place or the Rialto Bridge. But I think the Equestrian Monument to mercenary Bartolomeo Colleoni is more appropriate for a tactical traveller lifestyle!

Shield Sights Announces Next Generation RMS2

November 4th, 2020

For Immediate Release – Dorset, England, U.K. – Shield Sights, Pioneer of compact micro red dot optics is pleased to present the newest edition of Refex Mini Sight, the RMS2.

Building on the foundation of the original RMS, that was designed for competitive shooters, the RMS2 brings features that increase performance for the defensive carry, shooting enthusiasts, and competitors alike. The Shield RMS2 features a strengthened lens housing and updated electronics with improved battery contacts to further enhance reliability under all conditions. The same glass coated polymer lens continues to provide a good balance of being shatterproof while remaining more scratch resistant than an all polymer lens option. Customers have the option to upgrade to an all glass lens if maximum scratch resistance is required.  

The RMS2 has been designed without a battery draw to further strengthen the housing and remove any additional failure points in an EDC product. Shields superior footprint includes four location posts and two screws to ensure a consistent and secure interface to hold the sight in place. This system has been proven to be extremely repeatable when sights are removed to renew batteries and when combined with a long battery life has removed the need for the side access battery drawer.

“The explosive growth in the RDS market for concealed carry and general range use has presented new variables that we were eager to consider in the design of the RMS2,” said James White, CEO Shield Sights. “The advancements in technology and additional research in the field has given us the ability to design and deliver an overall better product for the majority of RDS shooters out there”

RMS2 Features:
– Shield footprint
– Glass coated polymer lens (can be upgrade to all Glass)
– Strengthened lens housing
– Updated electronics
– 4 MOA and 8 MOA dot options
– 1-3 year battery life

The RMS2 is currently available for sale through the Shield dealer network or on the Shield website: www.shieldpsd.com

MSRP: $430

MasterPiece Arms (MPA) Unveils the MPA AR9 PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine)

November 4th, 2020

Designed specifically for superior reliability and maximum accuracy by competition shooters for all-out performance, the MPA AR9 PCC is still capable of in-home personal defense and other tactical situations.

Comer, Ga. (November 2020) – MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturers of the MPA BA Rifles and Chassis Systems, is pleased to introduce the MasterPiece Arms AR9 PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine). Specifically designed for superior reliability and maximum accuracy, the AR9 PCC still retains the familiar handling and controls of the AR platform. This outstanding carbine was designed by competition shooters for maximum performance but is still capable of in-home personal defense and other tactical situations. The AR9 PCC is the first release from MPA’s recent product line acquisition from CK Arms.

The MPA design team has designed the MPA AR9 PCC lower receiver to be compatible with the GLOCK pattern magazines in 9mm. The new 7075 billet-machined aluminum receiver models also accept standard AR accessories like furniture, triggers, charging handles, buttstocks, and optics, and incorporate an integral trigger guard and flared magwell for fast reloading.

The MPA AR9 PCC closed-bolt blowback operating system is soft shooting and reliable with a wide variety of 9mm loads and exhibits flawless feeding with all common pistol bullet profiles, including hollow point and ball ammunition. The AR9 PCC proprietary bolt carrier group with heavy duty claw extractor and plunger ejector is tuned for exceptional reliability and has been optimized in weight for less reciprocating mass, which equals a flatter and softer shooting platform.

During the test and evaluation process, multiple buffers and recoil systems were tested and evaluated. MPA chose the best performing combination that enhanced the shootability of the rifle that puts it a tier above the competition. The AR9 PCC is also an excellent suppressor host with minimal gas blowback and enhanced accuracy over the other designs. Like all of its rifle products, MPA uses 416R SS match-grade button-rifled 1-10” twist 9mm barrels to ensure that the AR9 PCC meets MPA’s stringent quality and accuracy requirements.

MPA AR9 PCC Specifications:
• Billet machined lower from 7075 aluminum
• Caliber specific upper with a flared ejection port
• Hard coat black anodized (type 3) and Cerakoted
• Enhanced magwell for easy magazine loading
• 16” lightweight 416R stainless steel barrel, 1:10 Twist
• Anodized low profile handguard and buffer tube
• Multi-port steel Cerakoted compensator
• Optimized buffer and recoil system
• Machined aluminum S2 Grip
• Match grade accuracy
• Suppressor ready

1791 Gunleather Holsters Available for New Optic-Ready Glock G43x and G48

November 4th, 2020

Miami, FL – Optic ready firearms are not a new concept and manufactures today continue to expand existing models as well as bring out several new firearms that are optic capable as well as OEM equipped. There is a major shortage in quality holsters that perform at the highest standard for today’s variety of optic ready firearms. At 1791 Gunleather we identified that shortage and challenged it head on with now over 20 holsters that fit over 100 models of optic ready firearms. We are excited to introduce 2 more optic ready holsters for the popular Glock G43x and G48.

Glock first introduced the slimline G43x and G48 in July of 2019. Since then the slimline frame and 10-round capacity firearms have become incredibly popular with shooters of all shapes, sizes, and skill levels. Now, Glock has introduced a new feature to these two popular models, a Micro Optic System (MOS) configuration, and 1791 Gunleather has holsters ready for the new versions of these sidearms.

“We will continue to create new designs and modify existing models to meet the needs of armed America,” said Alex Toussieh, COO of 1791 Gunleather. “Leather is a very obliging material and our leather working artisans are the best in the world.”

The new design is a great feature for the two, already popular, firearm models. Many shooters have come to love the MOS-style optics for self-defense and other close-quarters shooting scenarios. The quick target acquisition and improved shooter accuracy are benefits that shooters of all skillsets can enjoy. With 1791 Gunleather, users of these new models have premium quality holster options offering the perfect blend of comfort and functionality.
