FirstSpear Range Day – Oakley Alpha Ecosystem

January 18th, 2016

The Alpha Ecosystem from Oakley is a modular and scalable eye protection system that consists of multiple components.  The critical component is the common Alpha lens which was developed using the same eye tracking work studies that spawned last year’s Tombstone glasses.  Those studies included shooting, CQB, fast roping and mobility.  This time the application is all about tactical use and the field of view is awesome.  

  
The system consists or a frame, a goggle and a helogasket using the common Alpha lens. This is huge for the operator as well as his logistics support.  

The lens is held in place with a three point retention system.  Interestingly, this almost rimless design also allows the lens to vent and prevent fogging.  Lens technologies for this system are Prizm Shooting and Prizm Snow.  The Prizm variants TR45 is for low and bright light and TR22 is for bright light.  Both lens colors are offered on the Special Operations Eyewear Program.  

Frames are available in Black, Tan 499 and White.

SIG SAUER Range Day

January 18th, 2016

The first thing I noticed at SIG SAUER Range Day was that they have introduced KeyMod forends for the MCX, 516 and MPX.

 

Here’s a closeup of the 516 Forend.

  
Below is the updated 716 DMR.  They’ve shaved a little weight off of the design and it now weighs in at just under 8 lbs.     
All of the guns I shot today featured SIG Optics.  Look for an in depth report on this line soon on SSD.


This is the latest configuration of the MPX.  This Gen II version features the low-profile Handguard and Collapsible Stock.  I’ve requested an update from SIG on when these accessories will be available commercially.  

  
 

  
  
But the real surprise was an opportunity to shoot the Made in USA SIG P210A.  The A suffix is because it was made in America.  I’ve never fired a P210 because they are so uncommon in the US.  As I understand it, 210s will no longer be made in Europe.  It has a very light trigger and was fun to shoot.  

  

SHOT Show – Industry Day At The Range – Kimber K6s

January 18th, 2016

IMG_4767

Kimber, best known for their 1911s, is releasing something new for 2016, with the K6s revolver. Having been developed for approximately two years, the K6s is a 6-shot .357 MAG / .38 SPL revolver, with a slim profile, light weight, and internal hammer design, which makes it ideal for concealed carry, for use as a backup gun, and home defense. The barrel comes in at 2 inches, with an overall length of 6.62 inches and a width of only 1.39 inches. If you’re wondering how it shoots, the trigger has an approximate pull weight of 9.5 to 10.5 lbs., and the pull is smooth and consistent. Be on the lookout for the K6s when it releases later this year.
