May 20th, 2017
Nighthawk, Agency Arms, Railscales, Cerakote, and Hillbilly 223 have all come together to release an incredible gun at the NRAAM this year. The very first gun of this limited 50 gun run is being auctioned on Gunbroker to raise money for SOC-F.
The Special Operations Care Fund (SOCF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, 100% volunteer, charitable organization that strives to generate funds for the families of wounded or killed Special Operations Forces (SOF). Via our events, we will connect generous people with the SOF community.
Meticulously crafted and designed, the Nighthawk Agent 1 is the exciting result of a collaboration between Nighthawk Custom, Agency Arms, Railscales, and Hillbilly 223. Using the “One Gun, One Gunsmith” approach, Nighthawk has been able to take the 1911 platform to an all new level of hand-crafted quality and beauty.
This specific pistol was designed to push the boundaries of what was possible with the 1911, while ensuring that the aggressive design maintained a practical application. The resulting pistol speaks for itself. The Agent 1 is a truly unique and stunning firearm.

Griffin Armament – Revolution Silencer Series
May 19th, 2017
Griffin Armaments’ Revolution Silencer Series brings new to market features and versatility in the pistol silencer class. The Mod 3 Revolution Series silencers are now rated for 7.62×39, 300 BLK supersonic, and 5.56mm for hunting applications.
“We saw the market trending In our direction on our modular silencer concept and we thought it was time to kick it up a notch and get back on top of the dog pile. So we decided to re-engineer the product and improve it with a lot of versatility and some high pressure caliber application.” -Austin, Lead engineer and primary owner of Griffin stated. He continued, “With the HPA losing steam, and silencers continuing to have a tax stamp associated, we wanted to give the customers more usability in the product. Ultimately it would be great if the HPA were to pass in some form, but it doesn’t like it will anytime soon. I think consumers are going to be putting their money into versatile products and we are happy to provide those for them.”
The Mod 3 Revolution Series silencers also now support the Griffin Taper Mount Muzzle Devices for hunting application.
In closing, Austin stated,
“I feel these silencers are great for people who want to buy something fun like a pistol silencer but who might want it to do double duty with centerfire and rimfire hunting applications. There’s more to shooting than staying on the range and dumping magazines and these products cater to the practical outdoorsman just as much as the recreational shooter. More states are hunting legal than ever before and it’s a great time to protect your hearing while enjoying one of America’s oldest traditions.”

Outdoor Research Releases Infiltrator Jacket & Pant
May 19th, 2017Outdoor Research is the first company to fully commercialize GORE-TEX® Fabric with Stretch Technology fabric into a garment. The Jacket and Pant are Hybrid-Mapped designs featuring a combination of lightweight GORE-TEX and the GORE-TEX® Fabric with Stretch Technology fabric.
You can see the Coyote GORE-TEX® Fabric with Stretch Technology panels in these photos which are a great demonstration of the Hybrid-Mapped design.
Referred to as ‘Topo’ during development due to its similar look to a topographic map, GORE-TEX Fabric with Stretch Technology is a stretchy version of the popular GORE-TEX fabric. This stretchability means the wearer is more mobile even though the garment offers a closer fit which better facilitates the transfer of perspiration from inside to outside the garment.
Design Features:
Fully Adjustable
Advanced Combat Helmet Compatible Halo-Hood
YKK™ AquaGuard™ Vislon Zippers
Zip Hand Pockets
TorsoFlo® Venting
Internal Front Stormflap
Functional Details:
Pocket Placement Above Harness or Pack Belt
Hook/Loop Cuff Closures
Elastic Drawcord Hem
The Infiltrator is offered in three colors: MultiCam, Gray and Coyote. The GORE-TEX® Fabric with Stretch Technology panels are color matched for the Gray and Coyote. However, due to the stretchable nature of the fabric, GORE-TEX® Fabric with Stretch Technology is not available in a printed variant because the pattern is distorted when the fabric is stretched.
Both US Elite and Tactical Distributors are selling the garments and have inventory. In Europe, they’re available from Armamat.
