Yep, you read that right.
Coming soon from High Speed Gear, Kydex OWB Holsters for GLOCK and Smith & Wesson. IWB holsters and additional fits will be released in phases. We should see a pretty good HSGI holsters lineup before the end of 2017. Available in sub-compact, compact, and full size; each Glock holster will fit various sized Glocks, including Glock 20 and 21.
It’s a bit jarring given how ‘futuristic’ the SIX12 appears, but it also looks pretty slick. It’s also an officially offered accessory kit and not just a concept.

6.5 Creedmoor is an increasingly popular hunting and target cartridge, out-performing the established .308 Winchester, while being able to utilize the same action, bolt, and magazine as the .308, with only a barrel change. As a result, there’s been plenty of bolt-actions and semi-automatic rifles being released with 6.5 Creedmoor chambering, and S&W has followed suit with the introduction of a 6.5 Creedmoor Performance Center variant of their M&P-10 rifle.
Like other M&P-10 variants, the 6.5 M&P-10 features an ambidextrous lower receiver with two-stage match trigger, along with a Magpul MOE+ grip and MOE Rifle stock. The 20″ barrel, made of carbon steel, features a 1:8 RH twist with 5R rifling, and the aluminum handguard is free-floating with a top 1913 rail and M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions.
This year, IWI has started to receive the 5.56 chambered variants of the AK-derived Galil ACE rifle, which will be offered in various configurations, including carbine, SBR, and pistol. While nothing massive has changed with the gun with this new caliber option, the 5.56 ACEs do have lightening cuts on the receiver, and a true bolt hold open mechanism, which is pretty nice.
Oh, and they accept STANAG magazines, so your existing pile of PMAGs and GI mags will be good to go with this one.
The Canik TP9 series consists of a family of Turkish-made semi-auto handguns known for their surprisingly good quality relative to their price point. Given their popularity, it was only a matter of time until Canik released a compact model, which they did in the TP9SF Elite. Compact in this case means ‘roughly-equivalent-in-size-to-a-Glock-19’, which given the 15+1 capacity is an apt description. The slide features a Tungsten Grey Cerakote, with industry standard dovetail sight cuts, although the TP9SF Elite does comes standard with Warren Tactical sights with a red or green fiber optic front post. The mag catch is reversible for southpaws; the barrel is stated to be match grade; loaded chamber and striker status indicators are included; and the trigger feels better than a stock Glock trigger.
Like its larger siblings, the TP9SF Elite comes in a hard case, complete with two magazines, replaceable grip strap/palmswell, mag loader, holster, and cleaning rod.
This is the SERBU GB-22, a single shot, open bolt .22 pistol designed to be extremely simple to build, even with basic handtools, as necessity or availability of materials and tools dictates. Because it’s so basic, it also lends itself to as much modification as the builder deems appropriate. For example, the GB-22 doesn’t have sights as part of its standard design, but a creative sort can include irons in the design, or as is the case in the model above, create a mounting platform for an electro-optic. In case you were wondering, the ‘GB’ in GB-22 stands for ‘Gun Buyback’, as creator Mark Serbu has pretty much stated that because of the simple design the GB-22 can be built up quick and cheap and used to game a gun buyback program.
The plans are available right now on SERBU’s site for a paltry $12 (link here). If you feel you’re not mechanically-inclined enough to take advantage of the plans, then you’ll have to wait until SERBU receives BAFTE approval for a built kit.
