September 16th, 2017

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colorado (September 1,2017) – TALON Grips, Inc. is proud to announce the release of G19 and G17 Gen5 Glock grips. The Gen5 grips are the cumulation of TALON’s extensive experience designing firearm grips.

The evolution of TALON Grips is highlighted with the introduction of the new Gen5 Glock grips. “The absence of finger grooves on the Gen5 Glock resulted in a TALON Grip design that provides comprehensive grip area coverage in a very durable design” said Mike Morris president of TALON Grips. He continued, “Our inhouse design, prototyping, production, and product testing enabled us to move quickly and efficiently from concept to final product. Truly our entire team contributed in the development of this grip.”

TALON Grips drew on their extensive design experience to produce a grip that appears simple yet incorporates the latest design developments. The result is a reliable and stylish grip. Specific grips are available for each backstrap option including no backstrap, the medium backstrap/beavertail, and the large backstrap/beavertail. The variety of grip sizes offered ensures a perfect fit regardless of which backstrap is selected by the user.

Utilizing the latest design and production technologies, TALON Grips produces the most innovative functional grips available. Never resting on what is considered good enough TALON Grips continues to provide superior products that make difference at an affordable price.
“The first TALON Grip was made for a Glock 23 over 8 years ago so the recent creation of our Gen5 grips highlights our continued progression and evolution making perfection even better”, said Mike Morris.

XTech Tactical Releases The Pistol Training Gloves

September 16th, 2017

Designed to teach the thumbs forward grip, XTech Tactical releases the PTG (Pistol Training Gloves)

Mesa, AZ- XTech Tactical, makers of the adjustable angle ATG AR Grip and their VP9 & P30 magazines and extensions announced today the release of their PTG (Pistol Training Gloves). The patent pending gloves use hook and loop to reinforce the “thumbs forward grip”.

Check out this quick video!

The Pistol Training Glove, or PTG from XTech Tactical teaches & reinforces the “thumbs forward” grip technique used by military, law enforcement, and professional shooters. With its grip interlock technology, the PTG’s hook and loop fasteners engage only when your hands are in the correct position. The use of this training tool will develop habits and muscle memory that build shooting skills and confidence.

The gloves are breathable, comfortable and made from high end materials. They come in a full range of sizes ranging from XS-L to meet almost any trainee’s needs. The gloves are fully ambidextrous and address a problem we can all relate to. When introducing a beginner pistol shooter to the thumbs forward grip it is often quickly forgotten. And without the instructor by the trainee’s side and prior to muscle memory being established, the trainee becomes unsure of themselves. Also, in a training environment when handling a live weapon for the first time the trainee often forgets the grip and the instructor is forced to correct them, which often requires physical contact. This can create a dangerous situation but at a minimum affects the confidence of the trainee. With the gloves, you will find the grip will no longer need to be a major focus of training and they assist in building confidence and a more enjoyable experience!

The gloves are simple to use and are an excellent tool in your range bag no matter if you are a beginner, instructor, or just act as a 2nd Amendment Ambassador and introducing others to shooting pistols!

MSRP is $34.95. They can be purchased at www.xtechtactical.com. Dealer pricing, and special NRA instructor pricing is available. Dealer and Instructor inquiries please contact jeremy@xtechtactical.com.

This installment of the Team MultiCam video series centers on off-road truck racer Luke Johnson. Luke is the current points leader in the Pro 2 category of the TORC short course truck series.

He also competes in the Best in the Desert and SCORE International series for the Cops Racing team. When not racing, Luke teaches on and off-road driving capabilities to our nation’s elite Special Operations forces along with his father. His appreciation for the military has only grown stronger after working so closely with them for years. He has become friends with a great many of the Soldiers he has trained, heard their stories of valor, sacrifice, and loss and is passionate about giving back.

For the past 37 years, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) has been dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of Special Operations Personnel who lose their lives in the line of duty or are severely wounded and hospitalized as a result of wounds sustained in combat. SOWF ensures full college scholarships to the surviving children of Special Operators who die in the line of duty. Additionally, SOWF provides ongoing support and academic counseling to make sure every student has the opportunity to do well in school. The Foundation also provides immediate financial assistance to severely wounded Special Operators to allow their families to be with them in the hospital and to offset expenses associated with their injuries.

Luke Johnson will be using his racing efforts to increase the exposure of his fundraising with the hopes of raising as much money as possible for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Please help by donating to his GoFundMe page today. Thank you for your support and please spread the word.

B.E. Meyers – BOARS-M2

September 15th, 2017

B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc. is pleased to announce the release of a revolutionary new optics and accessory rail system called the BOARS-M2 (B.E. Meyers Optics & Accessories Rail System) for the M2, M2A1, M3 series .50 caliber heavy machine gun platforms.

The BOARS – M2 mount is a low-profile mounting solution that offers a quick-disconnect with true return-to-zero reattach. The BOARS-M2 represents a solution to the shortcomings of current M2 platform heavy machine gun optics and accessories mounting systems. By incorporating a modular design, and compact dimensions that respond to the needs of the end user, the BOARS-M2 provides vastly increased capabilities to the current M2 platform. Key features for the BOARS-M2 include: a quick detach optics/laser rail, snag free design, non-marring installation, low height-over-bore, and oversized pass through aperture for use with iron sights.

The BOARS-M2 is comprised of two parts: the lower base and a quick-detach optics/accessory rail. This allows for quick and effective changes between day and night optics without any loss of zero. In addition, cleaning and maintenance of the M2 Weapon platform with an optics mount is simplified with the BOARS-M2. Legacy systems require the complete removal of the optic and mount (resulting in a complete loss of zero), whereas the BOARS-M2 only requires the quick-detach optics/accessory rail to be removed, thus preserving optic zero once all components have been re-installed.

With an overall height measuring in at a diminutive 2.1 inches over the top of the receiver, the BOARS-M2 is almost half as tall as current Optic/accessory mounting solutions. The existing modified TVS-5 style mount designed in the 1970’s measures in at 4.0 inches over the height of the receiver. This drastic reduction in height translates into a lower end-user defilade and increased operator survivability during use. Despite such a low profile, the BOARS-M2 still incorporates an effective pass-through aperture for use with the iron sights if necessary.

DSEI 17 – Arnold Defense FLETCHER, A Guided 2.75-inch Rocket Mounted On A Supacat LRV 600

September 15th, 2017

We told you about the Supacat LRV 600 when it was launched at DSEI 15. When we went by to see it this year, it was fitted with a rocket dispenser mounted to the rear roll bar on a swing arm.

Turns out, this is a development of Arnold Defense, a St Louis-based international manufacturer and supplier of 2.75-inch rocket launchers. The “FLETCHER” is a guided 2.75-inch/70mm Weapon System can be mounted on land-based military vehicles as well as maritime craft.

The FLETCHER concept is supported by a team of global defense industry companies working together under Arnold’s leadership to combine their complimentary expertise which includes Military Systems Group, Nammo and Supacat.

Traditionally, 2.75-inch rocket systems have been used as an area suppression weapon, ordinarily deployed by aviation assets. FLETCHER can engage targets at ranges up to 6.5km, but from the ground.

Currently in the concept phase of development, a demonstrator fit of FLETCHER is mounted to the Supacat LRV 600, a lightweight special forces platform.

Jim Hager, President and CEO of Arnold Defense said “FLETCHER is an exciting new development for Arnold Defense and our team partners. We’re already exceedingly well established in the air environment with our rocket systems being used on air platforms globally. Moving that success into the land environment with our 2.75-inch rocket systems fitted to wheeled and tracked vehicles, as well as in a dismounted role, will provide ground forces with an entirely new capability”. He added: “there is further development work required but if all goes well, we’re expecting to have the system ready for sale towards the end of 2018”.
