New slim model 575 available for popular subcompact handgunsConvenient backpack design provides ergonomic solution for carrying range gear
ONTARIO, California – Safariland®, a brand of The Safariland Group, a leading global provider of safety and survivability products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets, today introduced its Safariland Shooters’ Range Backpack (Model 4559) with an ergonomic weight distribution design. Also announced – a super slim 575 GLS™ Pro-Fit™ Inside-the-Waistband holster for popular subcompact handguns.
“Our Shooters’ Range Backpack takes the typical range bag to another level, converting it into an easy-to-carry backpack with lots of pockets and storage,” said James Dawson, category director for Safariland. “It’s the perfect grab and go pack for several shooting activities with its great organization options and exceptional comfort.”
Safariland’s Shooters’ Range Backpack offers an ergonomic carry with its thickly padded, curved shoulder straps, which help to evenly distribute the weight of the backpack across the upper torso, alleviating strain felt from bags carried on only one side of the body. The pack features assorted compartments on the interior and five separate zippered compartments on the pack’s exterior – one on top, three on one side and another large compartment on the other. The internal dividers allow storage and organization of a variety of shooting accessories.
With heavy-duty lockable zippers throughout, the pack has a reinforced large lower compartment for heavy ammunition, and a removable dual pistol sleeve for carrying multiple handguns. Constructed of ruggedly durable ballistic pack cloth, it comes with an all-weather cover and is available February 1 in either black, tan or gray. The MSRP is $195.00.
Safariland also now offers a new slim fit in its 575 GLS™ Pro-Fit™ IWB Concealment Holster. The 575 is now available for several subcompact handguns including the Glock 43, Springfield XDS and Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm, .40, .45. The 575 incorporates Safariland’s GLS retention in an open top design with a slimmer, low-cut and compact body, allowing for a comfortable, smaller footprint over comparable models when wearing inside the waistband. The proprietary GLS secures the firearm once holstered, and retention is deactivated with the middle finger upon acquiring a standard shooting grip.
The holster body is comprised of SafariSeven™, a proprietary nylon blend, non-abrasive to the firearm’s finish and is fully functional in very high heat and extreme cold environments. Available
now, it comes in SafariSeven™ Plain Black and has an MSRP of $55.00.
Safariland also released a re-designed Enhanced 3-Gu Bag with an overall longer structure to fit longer firearms. New additional pockets have been added for extra storage. Also available February 1, the MSRP is $240.00.
The slim GLS Pro-Fit IWB Concealment Holster, Shooters’ Range Backpack and Enhanced 3-Gun Bag will be on display at The Safariland Group booth, #12762, throughout SHOT Show 2019 from January 22-25. For more information, please visit, www.safariland.com.

XTech Tactical, an innovative firearms accessory manufacture based in Mesa, AZ announces the company has reached terms with Tango Down on a licensing deal. Here is the background of the licensed technology:
Around 2002, Tango Down released its AR/M4 ARC Magazine which featured a waffle pattern on its side walls and tread patterns on its front and rear. There were never any patents related to the features. That product continues to be sold today, and it is one of the strongest magazines available for the AR/M4 platform.
Around 2008, Tango Down designed and developed an AK magazine using the same waffle and tread features present on its ARC magazine. Due to the erroneous claims made by Century Arms against XTech Tactical in their common law trade dress lawsuit, XTech Tactical is announcing that it has licensed the rights to all IP related to the AK magazine formally known as the US palm AK30, from Tango Down. Tango Down designed the magazine and has never sold the design to any party including US Palm.
XTech Tactical does not require these rights or any rights from an outside party for its MAG47. “Tango Down has been a strong ally to our company, and we are very thankful for their cooperation during this time!” stated Jeremy Deadman, XTech Tactical’s Director of Sales and Marketing.
Century Arms has stated it acquired US Palm in March of 2018 after signing a terms sheet with US Palm’s owners in January of 2018. Century Arms previously had filed trademark applications on the US Palm name and logo in August of 2017. In September of 2018, Century Arms filed and announced its first lawsuit against XTech Tactical, which was voluntarily dismissed by Century Arms.
Surprising to XTech Tactical, Century Arms then refiled in Arizona adding an AK Grip for which XTech Tactical is solely one of several dealers. Century Arms also added one of XTech Tactical’s owners as a defendant. This second suit is still active in Arizona.
XTech Tactical will be releasing several new products leading up to and at SHOT Show 2019 at its booth #4169. “We are believers in a free market that welcomes innovation and encourages fair competition. We will stay true to our core mission of listening to our customers, offering great customer service, and bringing innovation to the market. We could not be more excited for this year’s SHOT Show!” stated Deadman.
Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC will be hosting Jeff Gonzales of Trident Concepts at the SureFire booth #13968 during SHOT 2019 on Wednesday, January 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Come by to meet Jeff and ask him any questions — whether about training or just dressing extremely well — and don’t forget to pick up an exclusive, limited-edition SureFire poster.

TAMPA, FL, January 16, 2019 – Meopta USA Sport Optics is pleased to introduce the new Optika6 line of premium riflescopes. This newest Meopta riflescope series features a 30mm tube, 6x zoom, zero-reset turrets and advanced MeoBright lens coating that delivers edge-to-edge clarity and exceptionally bright, sharp images.
The Optika6 Shooting series is available with numerous first focal plane reticle options, including new DichroTech reticles, which feature battery-free illumination in any light conditions. The Shooting series is available in the following models: 1-6×24, 3-18×50,
3-18×56, 4.5-27×50. There is also a 34mm 5-30×56 model with ED glass to eliminate chromatic aberration at high magnification. All Optika6 Shooting series riflescopes feature rubber-armored target turrets for a non-slip grip.
The Optika6 Hunting series is available with numerous reticle options in the second focal plane, including new DichroTech reticles, in the following models: 1-6×24, 2.5-15×44,
3-18×50, 3-18×56 and 4.5-27×50. The Optika6 Hunting scopes with capped turrets feature rubber-armored metal caps for the perfect combination of durability and functionality.
The Optika6 Shooting and Hunting scopes also come with illuminated reticle options and windage and elevation adjustments in either Mil or MOA.
All Meopta Optika6 riflescopes are made of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and feature:
– One-piece tube design
– Zero-Reset setting for quick return to zero
– Zoom ring with a multi-position throw lever
– Rear-facing zoom display for easy viewing of power setting from behind the scope
– Locking turrets
“Our goal is to deliver premium, European-quality optics to hunters and shooters at exceptional price points,” said Randy Garrison, Director of Meopta USA Sport Optics.
“The Optika6 line of riflescopes does just that while continuing to deliver the excellent low-light performance and optical clarity that has become synonymous with the Meopta brand. We have differentiated our Shooting and Hunting lines to make it easier for consumers to pick the scope that’s right for them, but obviously some hunters will find the first-focal-plane Shooting models more versatile, just as many target shooters will take our second-focal-plane Hunting series to the range.”
Newington, N.H. (January 17, 2019) – SIG SAUER Inc. is pleased to Introduce the MCX Rattler Canebrake, the newest addition to the MCX family.
“The MCX Rattler Canebrake was created for those that desire the MCX as a suppressed system and eliminates the need to purchase additional components to do so,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “The Rattler Canebrake comes with a factory installed inert training device, making it operable right out of the box while NFA paperwork and waiting periods are completed, and then is easily convertible to run suppressed.”
The MCX Rattler Canebrake comes as a suppressor ready platform with an SD handguard and inert training device that mimics the size and weight of the SIGSRD762 suppressor and assures all muzzle flash is past the shooter’s hand when reaching out on the handguard during operation without a functional suppressor installed. With the MCX Rattler Canebrake there’s no need for the purchase of a shorter barrel kit and SD Handguard to have a suppressed MCX system, simply unthread the inert training device, install your suppressor, and select the appropriate gas setting for your ammunition. Additional features of the MCX Rattler Canebrake include a 2-stage flat-blade match trigger, Cerakote E190 finished upper and lower, a folding coyote-tan PCB, and comes with one 30-round polymer 300BLK Magpul™ magazine.
The MCX Rattler Canebrake and the entire MCX series will be on display at the SIG SAUER Exhibition Booth at SHOT Show 2019 (#12240) in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 22, 2019 through January 25, 2019.
