Welcome to the Red Dot Revolution: SIG SAUER Introduces the P320 RXP Series for Red Dot Accuracy Right Out-Of-The-Box

January 16th, 2020

NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 16, 2020) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is pleased to introduce red dot accuracy right out-of-the box with the P320 RXP Series pistols. The P320 Full-Size, Compact, XFULL, and XCOMPACT RXP pistols combine the latest advancements in reflex optics with a factory installed ROMEO1PRO Reflex Optic from SIG SAUER Electro-Optics with the award-winning P320 pistol.

Red Dot optics are quickly becoming the new standard for military and law enforcement, and are rapidly growing in popularity amongst commercial consumers. Universal adoption of optic-equipped pistols are hampered by both the cost of reflex optics, as well as the added expense of slide modification and installation,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “SIG SAUER is the only manufacturer in the firearms industry that can truly integrate a firearm and an optic into an affordable single system right from the factory to practically eliminate these concerns. With the introduction of the SIG SAUER P320 RXP series of pistols we are leading the Red Dot Revolution to ensure end users can easily achieve greater performance and increased accuracy with one simple purchase.”

“Red Dot Reflex Optics have long been the standard amongst the military and law enforcement, and are rapidly growing in popularity amongst commercial consumers. The number one barrier to universal adoption of the red dot in the commercial market is the installation and zeroing of the optic on the pistol,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “SIG SAUER is the only manufacturer in the firearms industry that can truly integrate a firearm and an optic into a single system right from the factory to completely eliminate the installation hesitation of the red dot. With the introduction of the SIG SAUER P320 RXP series of pistols we are leading the Red Dot Revolution so end users can easily achieve greater performance and increased accuracy with one simple purchase.”

The P320 XFULL and XCOMPACT RXP are 9mm striker-fired pistols that come with a factory installed ROMEO1PRO Open Reflex 6MOA sight, and the XSERIES features including X-RAY3 Day/Night suppressor height backup sights, XSERIES grip module with improved ergonomics, flat trigger for a clean 90 degree break, NITRON® XSERIES Slide, and extended ambidextrous slide catch lever. The intuitive 3-point takedown of the pistol requires no trigger pull for disassembly, and safety features include a striker safety and disconnect safety. Full-size RXP pistols come with (2) 17-round or 10-round stainless steel magazines, and compact RXP pistols come with (2) 15-round magazine or 10-round stainless steel magazines. The 10-round magazines are state compliant.

The SIG SAUER Electro-Optics ROMEO1PRO featured on all RXP pistols is a miniature open reflex red dot sight, available in a 6MOA red dot on RXP pistols. It comes with 12 brightness settings for a full range of lighting conditions, and the TruHold™ Lockless Zeroing System designed to endure recoil and return to zero shot after shot. The ROMEO1PRO features a molded glass aspheric lens with high-performance coatings for superior light transmittance and zero distortion, a new upgraded point-source emitter for increased brightness in day or night conditions, MOTAC, a 20,000-hour battery life, and an IPX-7 waterproof rating. The ROMEO1PRO is housed in aircraft grade aluminum to ensure corrosion resistance. The ROMEO1PRO optic is also sold separately at sigsauer.com and retailers in 3MOA or 6MOA and includes a ruggedized steel protective shroud in the box for extreme durability.

The complete series of the SIG SAUER P320 RXP pistols will be on display at SHOT Show 2020 in the SIG SAUER Main Booth (#12240) January 21-24, 2020 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, NV.

Grey Ghost Precision kicks off 2020: new Glock and SIG components

January 16th, 2020

Wallace, ID – Every year about this time you can expect to see something new drop from industry veteran Grey Ghost Precision, and 2020 is no exception! Looking back on 2019 we saw more aftermarket support for the GLOCK^® platform including new slides for the G17, G19 and G26 as well as an added FDE color option for the Combat Pistol and CP frames. They also kicked open the door on the P320 market with their GGP320 slides for the SIG^® P320/M17/M18 platforms that gave P320 users more options for slide serrations, finish/color and red dot mounting right out of the box. We can all agree that it’s been the golden age for custom pistol builders, and this year is no different!

So, what’s in store from GGP in Q1 2020? Starting with their SIG^®aftermarket line, Grey Ghost Precision is giving P365 fans their very own GGP slides, as well as match-grade barrels! Two brand-new GGP365 slides have been unveiled, and they bring something big to the table in terms of options for P365 owners. Just like their bigger bros GGP320 slides, the GGP365 slides are available in Black or Grey DLC (diamond-like coating) finish, with a Flat Dark Earth Cerakote option to closer match the P365 models with FDE colored frames. The Version 1 slide boasts diagonal serrations that are deeper and more aggressive than OEM slide serrations, while the Version 2 slide has a bit more sophistication. The front and rear of the slide feature recessed areas with fine ribs of serrations that give you plenty of grip, and looks classy as hell. Both of these GGP365 slides come milled precisely for the Shield RMS-C and SIG RomeoZERO micro optics, with an attractive G10 cover plate that fills the footprint if you choose not to run an optic. The MSRP of both versions of the GGP365 slide are $418.95.

Grey Ghost Precision GGP365 Slides for the SIG P365

GGP is also releasing pistol barrels for the P365 as well as the P320 Compact and Full-Size models. Each of these barrels are black nitride coated and are SAAMI spec match-grade. Threaded P320 barrels feature ½ x 28” threads for those who want to use muzzle brakes, compensators or suppressors. Speaking of suppressors, Grey Ghost Precision specifically optimized their GGP320 barrels for improved function when suppressing P320 pistols. The MSRP of the GGP320 barrels are $184.99 for non-threaded barrels, $194.99 for threaded models.

GLOCK^®fans are getting some love, as GGP is also releasing threaded and non-threaded G26 barrels, as well as Gen 5 barrels for G17 and G19 pistols. You read that right, Gen 5 barrels. As you may know, 5^th generation GLOCK^® slides feature quite a few changes that removed compatibility with several Gen 1-4 parts, including the slides themselves. These new GGP17/19 Gen 5 barrels are $179.99 for non-threaded barrels, $189.99 for threaded models (which also include an O-ring and a thread protector).

That leads us to the next GGP release for the new year… GGP-19 and GGP-17 Gen 5 slides! Finally, you will be able to upgrade your OEM Gen 5 pistol with a GGP aftermarket slide and take advantage of the accuracy-improving critical tolerances that Grey Ghost has tightened in all their slides. Additionally, these new Gen 5 slides also benefit from GGP’s hybrid optic compatibility with the Trijicon^® RMR and Leupold^® DeltaPoint Pro red dot optics using the supplied low-profile shim plates and specialty screws that come in every box. Two popular optic footprints, and all without the need for bulky adapter plates that would only raise the optic above the bore axis, and 4 different but equally functional serration patterns to choose from. The MSRP of GGP17/19 Gen 5 GLOCK^®slides are $449.99 for Versions 1 and 3, and $418.95 for Versions 2 and 4.

GGP DROP-IN GLOCK TRIGGERS trigs

In the immortal words of Billy Mays: “BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!” Grey Ghost Precision has one more bomb to drop. They have developed their own signature aftermarket trigger for GLOCK^®pistols. This drop-in trigger, which GGP calls the Combat Trigger, has a flat faced shoe with a minimal toe. “We designed this trigger from the ground up” said GGP Head Engineer Jason Fancher. “Using 3D software, we were able to rapid prototype several shoe designs using 3D printing technology. After experimenting with different geometry, we arrived at a design that felt perfect to the shooter. The flat face is specifically designed to give the shooter a repeatable straight trigger pull every time, with the precise reset that we all as shooters prefer in our carry guns.” The GGP Combat Trigger includes an OEM trigger bar to retain the safe function in your GGP Combat Pistol or your GLOCK^®, making it ideal for Concealed Carry, Military and Law Enforcement use. The MSRP of the GGP Combat Trigger is $99.99, and it is available in four anodize color combinations: all black, all grey, black trigger/grey/safety and grey trigger/black safety. All new GGP Combat Pistols come with the all black GGP Combat Trigger installed, with no change to its existing MRSP of $1,499.

Magpul Enters Shooting Brace Market – Announces Two Models

January 16th, 2020

In a surprise move, Magpul announces two shooting braces, the BSL and BTR.

In the case of both models, they are compatible with Mil-Spec carbine receiver extension equipped AR Pistols. They are not compatible with proprietary, pistol, or commercial receiver extensions.

Don’t forget, all ATF, NFA, state and local rules and laws apply, where applicable, which brings us to another point.

No, there isn’t an ATF letter and there won’t be one. BATFE no longer issues letters for individual accessories, having changed their policy to only examine complete firearms to determine whether they meet current regulations. As with any firearm accessory, it’s up to the manufacturer and user to properly use the braces.

BSL

Features:
• Designed and intended for use as a stabilizing accessory for one-handed firing
• Toolless, single-handed LOP adjustment
• Ambidextrous rear QD cup allows sling tension to be applied while firing with one hand to improve stability
• Compatible with Mil-Spec carbine receiver extensions
• High-strength polymer and metal construction
• M-LOK compatible slots for additional sling mounting options

BTR

Features:
• Designed and intended for use as a stabilizing accessory for one-handed firing
• Toolless, single-handed LOP adjustment
• Ambidextrous rear QD cup allows sling tension to be applied while firing with one hand to improve stability
• Compatible with Mil-Spec carbine receiver extensions
