April 17th, 2016The Ghost Combative Application Trigger (CAT) Kit
April 17th, 2016
The CAT trigger is a 4.5-pound “semi” drop-in trigger connector for the Glock family of pistols (42/43 excepted) that smooths the trigger action and reduces over-travel. Developed by Ghost Inc. at the insistence of retired law enforcement officer, author and trainer Dave Spaulding, the CAT is intended for the “combative application of the pistol” more commonly known as “self-defense.”
Spaulding, the founder and chief instructor for Handgun Combatives LLC, wanted a Glock trigger that would offer the combative shooter a trigger action that would actually enhance performance. “The more a shooter moves the index finger the more likely the rest of the fingers will want to move sympathetically, taking the muzzle off target resulting in a missed shot. The CAT helps reduce the distance the trigger finger moves to fire the pistol which improves shooting ability.” Don’t let the “semi-drop “ label concern you, Spaulding stated. “The reason we call it “semi-drop in” is because we had one Glock 36 in which the trigger bar did not drop. Three strokes of a file across the end of trigger control tab fixed the problem. The connector is drop in in 99-plus percent of the guns we tried it in.”
The kit comes with a 4.5-pound connector with a fixed trigger control tab to reduce over travel, a reduced power safety plunger spring (to smooth the rearward movement of the trigger bar), a six-pound trigger spring and a six-pound striker spring. This combination results in an over all trigger weight of 5.5 to 5.75 pounds that is smooth, easy to manage and will “keep up” with the trigger finger during rapid fire.
It is recommended a Glock Armorer install the trigger kit, however, directions for self-installation can be found on the Ghost web site at www.ghostinc.com. The trigger kit is available exclusively from Handgun Combatives LLC and can be ordered from their web site. www.handguncombatives.com. All Ghost Inc. components are made in the U.S.A.

Rail-Ready Products from Crimson Trace
April 15th, 2016(Wilsonville, OR)—Crimson Trace, America’s leader in making laser sights standard equipment on all self-defense firearms, offers a wide range of laser sight and lighting options for firearms equipped with rails. Handguns, especially many new models of concealed carry handguns, along with a growing number of long guns, come equipped with standard Weaver-style accessory rails, M1913 Picatinny rails, or molded-in rails. The Crimson Trace options to ride on those rails range from the small and powerful Rail Master® up to the Rail Master Pro™ and on to the Modular Vertical Foregrip® (MVF-515).
Crimson Trace’s Rail Masters are well known for being small, lightweight and easy to operate, and easy to secure onto the firearm’s rail. Packed with features, Rail Masters offer: Instant Activation, a 5-minute auto shut-off to conserve battery life because of inactivity, and either powerful green or red lasers. Nearly a half dozen Rail Master models are available, including one with a must-see coyote tan finish. Rail Masters can also be purchased pre-installed on some firearms, such as Browning’s .22 Buck Mark Black Label Carbon Fiber pistol.
Better news is that Rail Masters laser sights come packaged with four inserts as part of Crimson Trace’s Secure Lock Technology. This system permits placement in numerous locations on the rail to ensure the shooter has a best-fit for operation. This installation prevents slip offs that can occur with similar inexpensive models from other manufacturers. Three modes of operation with Rail Masters permits the user to select between: Constant-On, Momentary and Strobe laser. Crimson Trace’s CMR-206 Rail Master Universal green laser sight has an affordable Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price of only $229.
Crimson Trace’s offers another option for rails—the Rail Master Pro. These small and highly durable units combine the best of both worlds—laser and light. The CMR-204 (Green) and CMR-205 (Red) offer numerous operation modes: laser and light, laser only, light only and laser along with a disorienting strobe light. The red or green laser can be used along with the 100-Lumen LED white light, and this unit will automatically shut off after five minutes of inactivity.
For long guns with rails, such as the popular AR/MSR rifles, Crimson Trace offers the Modular Vertical Foregrip® with red and green laser versions available. These MVFs provide 200-Lumens of white LED light and can be cycled through three light modes, including strobe and constant on. For proper attachment, these units require at least four inches of accessory rail. Easy-to-operate side buttons simplify control and use.
Crimson Trace is widely recognized as the world’s leading brand of laser sight systems and tactical lights for firearms. All Crimson Trace products can be easily installed without requiring modification to the firearm—or special gunsmithing skills. The company offers more green laser sights for firearms than the rest of the firearms accessory industry combined. Full details on the 200-plus Crimson Trace products, and the Wilsonville, Oregon headquartered company, can be obtained by visiting www.crimsontrace.com or by calling 800-442-2406.
