XS Sights Announces New Booth Location at the SHOT Show and New ‘No Questions Asked’ Warranty

January 18th, 2018

42477308-AA0C-40E4-ADBD-64A6EE136C01

Fort Worth, TX (January 16, 2018) – XS® Sights will have a new booth location at the 2018 SHOT Show. The company is moving from the lower level to the main floor of the Las Vegas Sands Convention Center and will be in booth #16054. The booth design is completely new, and XS will be displaying its popular F8 Night Sights, including new F8 models for the Smith & Wesson M&P pistols and SIG SAUER P320 striker-fired pistols.

XS is also implementing a new ‘No Questions Asked Warranty’ for all sights as of January 1, 2018. This new warranty is an effort to provide exceptional customer service and to encourage more people to install their own sights. Given the limited lifespan of tritium, any XS sights with tritium will be backed by a 10-year, no questions asked warranty. After 10 years, XS will replace these sights as needed at a steeply discounted price.

“We want our customers to feel comfortable installing their own sights, and our new ‘No Questions Asked Warranty’ should give them peace of mind that we have their back and will take care of them in the rare case that something goes wrong during the installation process,” said Zack Kinsley, marketing manager for XS Sights. “We value our customers and want to provide outstanding service and support to them.”

The new F8 Night sights are easy to install with a sight pusher and can be filed to fit. XS also includes any specialty tools needed for installation with each sight such as a Glock front sight screwdriver, locktite, and Allen wrenches.

January 18th, 2018

(Wilsonville, OR)— Crimson Trace®, recognized as America’s top brand of laser sights in a recent Southwick Associates shooting sports industry survey, today announced its newest Laserguard® laser sight—the LG-457 with red laser diode—for a precision fit onto the Smith & Wesson® series of SD™ and SD VE™ pistols. This new Crimson Trace Laserguard laser sight will fit the Smith & Wesson SD9™, SD40™, SD9 VE™, and SD40 VE™ semi-auto pistols.

DF38FA59-F1BB-4360-BC22-DF4340E6B06B

This newest Crimson Trace Laserguard laser sight with a red laser diode for the Smith & Wesson SD and SD VE pistols utilize Crimson Trace’s patented Instinctive Activation™ firearm laser technology. Award-winning Instinctive Activation technology ensures that the laser sight activates when the firearm is held with a normal firing grip and when the user is ready to fire. That system is one of many reasons why Crimson Trace is a leader in the firearms laser sight market. The new Laserguard LG-457 laser sight can be easily adjusted for windage and elevation, is easy to install and maintain, and is covered under the Crimson Trace innovative Free Batteries for Life Program. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of the Laserguard LG-457 is $229.

Crimson Trace Laserguard laser sights incorporate either a red or green laser diode within a sturdy and compact housing and they are simple to install onto the pistol’s trigger guard. The necessary installation screws, plus battery for operation, are included in the product packaging. Some other laser sight manufacturers require the additional purchase of tools and batteries for installation and operation.

Crimson Trace leads the laser sight accessory category by offering more than 300 products through 2,500+ dealers across America. Those dealers include gun stores, ranges, big box outlets and numerous on-line retailers. Crimson Trace products can be easily installed without requiring modification of the firearm —or special gunsmith skills.

Jason Knight to Join the Winkler Knives Team

January 17th, 2018

Earlier Today, Winkler Knives released this statement.

Daniel Winkler’s and Karen Shook’s hope is that Winkler Knives will continue producing high performance edged tools for people who really need them for many decades, if not centuries, to come. To this end, they asked Master Bladesmith Jason Knight to join the Winkler Knives team. The three have been friends since the early 1990’s, when Jason Knight was a teenager and Karen and Daniel were not. Knight’s creative genius and knife making expertise are perfect complements to Winker Knives’ manufacturing capabilities. His (comparative) youthfulness means continuation of the standards of excellence for which Winkler Knives is known. Karen refers to the working relationship between Daniel Winkler and Jason Knight as the “Merging of Masters.” Both Master Bladesmiths have a reputation for originality and blade integrity that has brought them international acclaim. The two have the skill, expertise and vision to translate the nuances of their hand forged blades to the Winkler Knives Collection.

IWI US Introduces the TAVOR TS12, Their First Bullpup Shotgun

January 17th, 2018

F909B8CF-53E2-44A3-B12D-8244147263D0

Middletown, Pa. (January 2018) – IWI US, Inc., a subsidiary of Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Ltd., brings innovation to the tactical shotgun market with their first bullpup shotgun: the TAVOR® TS12. This 12 GA gas regulated, smoothbore semi-auto shotgun feeds from one of three magazine tubes, each capable of holding four three-inch shotgun shells or five two-inch shotgun shells, for a total potential magazine capacity of 15 +1 rounds. The TS12 can be fed and unloaded from either side and configured for either right or left side ejection or operation.

“The TAVOR TS12 is our first entry into the home defense shotgun market and we held off until we had something unique and desirable that held the same characteristic quality and performance of the entire TAVOR line,” Casey Flack, CEO of IWI US commented. “The TS12 is it; compact, easy to use and maintain, and with a large magazine capacity, it is ideal for home defense, as well as a sporting shotgun.”

The TAVOR TS12 features a unique patented “Bullhead” bolt locking system, specific to the TS12. The 18.5-inch smoothbore barrel with a three-inch chamber is fed rounds through a tubular magazine system that automatically loads the next round when the tube is rotated in position. The muzzle threads are internal and compatible with Benelli®/Beretta choke tubes. One choke tube is included with the TAVOR TS12.

Compact in length at only 28.34-inches, the TS12 has a one-piece, full-length 1913 Picatinny top rail with M-LOK receptacles integral in each side of the forearm of the shotgun body, allowing multiple placement possibilities for the addition of accessories.
