Before this year, the 805 Bren was only available in the States in pistol form. Now, CZ USA is bringing the carbine configuration to the US market. The 805 Bren Carbine is a gas-piston operated semi-auto rifle, chambered for 5.56 NATO. The barrel length is 16.2″, and the overall length is 28.5″ with the stock folded, and 36.75″ – 39″ with the stock extended. The 805 Bren is side-charging, with a reversible, reciprocating charging handle. It also features a bolt catch, but no bolt release; users rack the charging handle to release the bolt. Additional features include ambi controls, flip-up sights, a pistol grip w/ interchangeable backstraps, and a modular forend.

Crimson Trace’s LiNQ laser light is a weapon light and laser combo designed specifically for use with AR-15 pattern rifles. It consists of two components, the LiNQ Grip and LiNQ Module . The LiNQ Grip is constructed of waterproof polymer, and features an instinctive activation button on the front which allows users to wirelessly activate the Module, which is capable of producing a Green Laser and a 300 lumen LED white light. Users can choose between four modes of activation:

– Laser + Light
– Laser Only

– Laser + Light Strobe

The LiNQ features a battery life of 2 hours of continuous use; the grip is powered by a single CR2 battery, while the module is powered by a single CR123 battery.

SHOT Show – Kel-Tec

January 20th, 2016

DSC07131

For SHOT, Kel-Tec revealed a new variation of the KSG shotgun. Dubbed the KSG-NR, this new shotgun features a reduced capacity of five 2 3/4″ shells in each tube plus one in the chamber, for a total capacity of 11, compared to the original KSG’s 15. You may be wondering what you get for this reduced capacity. Well, as the image above indicates, the railed forend has been replaced by a proprietary, integrated vertical grip / weapon light which has an output of 420 lumens, and is powered by CR123 batteries. The NR features the same 18.5″ barrel and 26.1″ overall length as the original KSG, in order to keep it legal; Kel-Tec was quick to mention the capability to take advantage of the reduced profile by shortening the barrel and turning it into an SBS, with a tax stamp, of course.

Kel-Tec reps at the booth said that the KSG-NR is available now.

SHOT Show – Elite Survival Systems

January 20th, 2016

Elite Survival Systems has introduced a line of concealed carry pouches that actually look like normal day-to-day bags. They are designed for guns in the G42/43 range.

 

The Marathon GunPack is actually useful for runners with 14 oz of water in flasks. It also has a nonslip back so it stays put.

  
I also like the Photo Ops GunPack which looks like a chest mounted camera pack.

SHOT Show – Downeast Innovations

January 20th, 2016

Downeast Innovations is a design house that has developed numerous products including the MOLLE frame and FASTMag. They showed us two new innovations that are coming soon.

 

This is the Gemini buckle which is made up of two symmetrical buckle components. It’s designed for heavy loads yet offers a light fingertip release. You can also squeeze the buckle to get it to release. While this is a prototype buckle, the molds are done and production buckles will be available within two weeks.

  

Next up is an upgrade to the PALS compatible attachment of the FASTMag. Its easier to use than the current version (bottom).
