Triggrcon 18 – Gen 2 AR15 Spade Grip from KNS Precision

July 30th, 2018

I love seeing innovative work around for foolish gun laws. Although the Gen 2 AR15 Spade Grip from KNS Precision has been around for awhile, it fits the bill for those who live in areas with firearm feature-focused restrictions. Plus, it looks like a lot of fun.

60F86A4E-633B-454D-A17E-99F5CEEDF39A

This newer version of the Spade Grip will fit both semi-auto and full-auto platforms and allows the use of after market enhanced trigger guards and billet receivers which have the trigger guard built in.

Triggrcon 18 – S1-Wright-12 Breaching Shotgun from R&R Targets

July 30th, 2018

CMC Triggers displayed the S1-Wright-12 from R&R Targets. Although it’s a custom built design which has been used for 3-Gun competitions, this magazine fed, semi-auto, 12 ga shotgun is being evaluated by several SOF and LE organizations for breaching use.

70CB72D1-7EB2-4080-90B9-DF8A002B62E1

I had the opportunity to fire it during Triggrcon Range day and it was quite controllable. If you’re familiar with an AR, you can shoot the S1-Wright-12. It offers the advantage of rapid magazine reloads (12 rounds) and ammunition changes. However, the bolt does not lock to the rear on the last shot like an AR. It was also fitted with a SilencerCo Salvo suppressor and I’m told that those currently evaluating the weapon use suppressed rifles and appreciate its utility.

2548452B-4BC8-4458-899B-43A6737D4867

The charging handle is mounted to the left side of the receiver and the top of the receiver features Mil STD 1913 rail.

The reason CMC Triggers was displaying the gun is that it is equipped with one of their triggers. During development, R&R Targets evaluated triggers from several different triggers, but the CMC AR10 trigger they selected was the only one which could stand up to the repeated hammering of the semi-auto 12 ga.
