Is the Wait Almost Over for a Single Stack 9 from GLOCK?

March 17th, 2015

For the past week images have been swirling around the Internet hinting at a NRA Show by GLOCK of the fabled holy grail; a single stack 9mm. Collectively, we’ve been demanding such a beast for years, sure that it will be the ultimate concealed carry pistol.

Something big is definitely afoot at GLOCK. They’ve dropped a few subtle hints on their Facebook page and set up a countdown clock on their site. They’ve even invited members of the members to an exclusive look at something new, the night before the NRA annual meeting starts.

UPDATE: GLOCK posted this image to their Instagram account today.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this rumor so I’m not getting too excited. The real question is, if we get it, after all these years, what will we have to complain about?

Boy, It’s Getting Crowded In Here, Meet The LANTAC Keyed Accessory Mounting (KAM) System

March 17th, 2015

The Picatinny (Mil Std 1913) attachment has been with us for some time. Over the past few years, it’s been joined by Key Mod and M-Lok. Now, LANTAC has thrown their hat into the ring with the license free Keyed Accessory Mounting (KAM) System taking us beyond any BetaMax/VHS analogies.

Thanks to their adapter plate system, LANTAC claims KAM will attach to round surfaces such as tubular handguards in addition to flat surfaces. What’s more, the mount itself is 100% integrated and only applies force to the mounting surface.

Interested in using KAM? Contact info@lantac-usa.com

Sneak Peek – Remington Defense 45 Deg Backup Iron Sights

March 16th, 2015

The new 45 deg offset back up iron sights from Remington Defense were developed as a component for their Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System candidate rifle.

Consisting of front and rear sights, they are collapsible and adjustable for zero.

Front Sight

Rear Sight

Additionally, these seem to be the first backup sights that are truly ambidextrous. The rear sight can be flipped about, the opposite way and the actual sight separated from the mount and reattached, pointed in the proper direction. The Picatinny compatible rear sight is easily secured via a hex head screw.

With the recent announcement of several Remington Defense rifles for sale commercially, we are hoping to see these available soon as well.

Sneak Peek – USMC M40A6 Prototype

March 16th, 2015

I recently got a look at a prototype of the proposed USMC upgrade to the M40A6 configuration for their venerable sniper rifle based on the Remington 700 action. Well I’m told that IOC still two years out, the decision for the upgrade in stock to a modified version of the Remington Arms Chassis System which has already been adopted in other forms by the US Army and SOCOM.

Currently, the working designation remains M40A6 but it well be fielded as the M40A7. Apparently, the barrel remains the sticking point, and a final decision on length and twist rate has still not been made although the weapon remains 7.62 NATO. Take a look at the gallery and you may see a few other tidbits of info like the SureFire suppressor adapter.
