Mossberg is getting into the sub-compact carry pistol market with the release of the MC1sc. Taking some clear inspiration from other popular carry pistols on the market, the MC1sc is a slimline, sub-compact 9mm pistol with a polymer frame, and flat-profile trigger with integrated blade safety. Both the slide and barrel are stainless steel with a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) black coating. The magazines that come with the MC1sc consist of a clear polymer body with a red follower, and come in 6-round flush fit and 7-round extended basepad configurations.
Unique to the MC1sc is what Mossberg calls the ‘Safe Takedown System’, which requires the user to remove the striker assembly before being able to remove the slide from the frame. The Safe Takedown System also doesn’t require the trigger to be pulled before the pistol can be disassembled.
In addition to the base model, Mossberg is also offering the MC1sc with TRUGLO Tritium PRO night sights, equipped with a VIRIDIAN laser sight, or with an external cross-bolt safety (seen above).

(Phoenix, Arizona January 2nd, 2019.) We broke barriers and won awards when we released the piston driven .308 Revolution. Now, we are pleased to introduce the Revolution DI (Direct Impingement). By popular demand, you get the same technology, same durability, same features, and same AR-15 size (yes, it is truly an AR-15 sized rifle that shoots .308), but in a smaller direct impingement system.
What makes the Revolution so special? First, it is NOT a small frame AR-10, its smaller! It features many 5.56 parts; such as charging handle, bolt carrier, roller cam pin, buffer, heat-sink barrel nut, and handguard. Those are just the parts that are interchangeable. The barrel extension, bolt assembly, upper and lower receiver are all the exact same size as those found on an AR-15. This is what makes the Revolution Di possible, and puts a .308 AR platform in your hands that feels and handles like your 5.56 AR-15.
The Revolution Di didn’t shed weight by eliminating features. It’s quite the opposite. There is virtually nothing left to upgrade – no matter your shooting style or sport. This is a full-featured battle carbine complete with an ambidextrous billet lower receiver, 9-position adjustable gas block, heat-sink barrel nut, Renegade rail, single stage match grade trigger, triple port muzzle brake, and more.
The original Revolution PD (Piston Driven) weighs in at a paltry 7.35 pounds, turning heads for its incredible lightweight and small stature for a .308. The 308 Revolution DI weighs even less at 6.81 pounds with a 16” barrel, making it ideal for just about any situation you put it in.
Shipping now in .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor.

Raven Concealment Systems is currently taking pre-orders for a variety of holsters to support the new “Slimline” series of pistols recently announced by Glock.
RCS will be releasing Perun, Morrigan, and VanGuard 2 holsters in support of the brand new Glock 43X and Glock 48 pistols. These pre-ordered holsters will ship by February 1st, which means that the “Slimline” pistols will have holster support as soon as they hit the market.
Currently, the pre-order has two options:
The first option is for the Perun (outside-the-waistband holster) for the Glock 48
The second option is a three-pack of holsters, including the Perun, the Morrigan (inside-the-waistband holster), and the VanGuard 2 (an appendix carry inside-the-waistband holster). In addition to being a comprehensive carry package, this three-pack is priced at a $30 discount for the pre-order.
The pre-order ends at 5PM EST on Friday, 11 January.

Cloud Defensive has updated their website in anticipation of the impending release of their Optimized Weapon Light.
The light offers about 1,250 lumens and is IPX8 rated for a depth of 200 feet for 24 hours.
Picatinny compatible, the body is manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum and hard coat Type III anodized.
Thanks to their patent-pending Lug-Lok technology, the light head and a tailcap are removable without traditional threading for quick swaps and battery changes. This also makes the light ambidextrous as it can be mounted to either side of the rail.
Additionally, the Field-Serviceable Lens can be swapped out using a tool built into the tailcap.
Interestingly, they rely on a 18650 battery as a power source and state that use of a CR123 battery will result in void of the warranty.
The OWL is offered in Black, Urban Grey or Olive Drab Green.
