BOLO Report reports that Legion Firearms’ will unveil a new pistol at SHOT Show (booth #20,000).
According to BOLO Report, the LF-P9 will be available in “.40, .45, 9mm and possibly 10mm. This one is 38 ounces “and has zero muzzle flip”. It has 23 round capacity mags, a threaded barrel, and Heinie ledge sights. The hex serrations are a proprietary Legion design for omni-directional grip when operating the slide.”
We’ve also learned that the design omits the guide rod and is built on an STI 2011 frame. It is coated in Nickel Boron and will be available in Burnt Bronze, Combat Grey, Black, Magpul FDE, or OD Green top coat. Price is $1995.00 with a hand made holster from OTG and 3 tuned mags.
The winner of Day #13 of the 12 Days of Tactical Christmas is TC Collins. TC’s innovative use of Duct Tape had us enthralled.
Everyone who entered did an outstanding job and we are so impressed that we’ve decided to do something special for all of you. We’ll be in touch to discuss the details.

The LF-15D from Legion Firearms is out now out; it’s a little bit different than the C model but still definitely on the high end of ARs.

Obviously, not everyone wants a monolithic upper. Some people want very specific rails, whether a particular brand suits them or just to break up the monotony. Legion is offering matched non-monolithic upper and lower receivers, so the customer can specify the style of manufacturer of rails they want (if any) and Legion puts them on (For instance, they did some with Wilson trim rails recently), The LF-15D has the same billet uppers and lowers, it’s ambidextrous and everything else such as the BattleComp 1.0 or 2.0 (as requested) with standard Revo sling and the Phase 5 Tactical charging handle assembly (which Legion helped T&E).
The LF-15D barrel uses the Legion Firearms as-yet-unnamed proprietary honeycomb fluted weight saving system. The honeycomb is a patterned barrel and is now available on their new rifles. It allows them to take an entire half pound of rifle weight in material and keep the same accuracy without any barrel walk or stringer groups (like you get when the barrel heats up). The upper, lower and bolt carrier group are all coated in Nickel Boron; barrel is ordinance grade 416 stainless steel, 5.56 NATO Chamber 1/8 twist, 3 groove polygonal rifling, mid length gas system PRI gasblock and the springs are Cryo treated, with a CMC 3.5lbs single stage trigger.

There will be a California edition LF-15D, just like the Charlie model had.
BattleComp, a new and very popular compensator on the rifle market, has once again sold out of their BC 2.0 and has also announced they are working on a 24×1.5 AKBC for the near future. The 1.5s are now back in stock and they’re working diligently to restock the others.
Chances are you’ve seen BCs before, even if you weren’t aware that was what you were seeing (they’ve been to Haley, Costa, Rogers, Vickers and other classes, often appearing on instructor rifles). The BattleComp is exactly what the name implies, a “Battle Compensatorâ€. It is not intended to be the best muzzle brake or best flash hider on the market and doesn’t claim to be. However, they do claim to be the best combination of the two, and the most well rounded. Most reports we’ve found seem to support this assertion. (There are two common “schools of thought†when it comes to modifying a rifle barrel—either flash hider or a muzzle brake…BC’s designers basically said, “Why can’t we combine the two?”)
“You can run a dual port break in a shoot house or a target structure,†says Alan Normandy of BattleComp, “but the fireball and the concussion will make people not want to be standing right next to you. You need something to tame the concussion and mitigate the flash. Muzzle brakes as previously designed did nothing about the flash…given the choice between the two, a lot of cops go with flash hiders because they’re cheaper and because they can train to accommodate the recoil management…you can’t train to accommodate flash. We figured, there’s gotta be a way to do both…we should be able to have something acceptable in each category…â€
That led to the development of the BattleComp. Note: the 1.0 is a standard BattleComp. The 1.5 has an extended hood on it so it would meet the 16†barrel length required for people running a 14.5†barrel (surprisingly, this is one of their most popular models). The 2.0, which came out back in January, is starting to outsell the 1.0. It is configured for the addition of a silencer on the end. Most BCs you see will be on AR15s, but they’ve appeared on long guns, FALs, AK74s, 6.8 SPC rifles, the .300 Blackout and other weapons (and is the standard compensator on most War Sport and Legion Firearms rifles).
Legion Firearms rifles are now available with logo-blazoned Legion sights from Diamondhead. They’re M4 style sights for those who may not want to use the H&K style hoop and hoop image. Some shooters are of the opinion that the focal point of the front sight shouldn’t be a diamond within a diamond because it draws the two images together and your focal point is no longer the front sight post—it’s now the two images. Of course, there others who believe entirely the other way, and that such a configuration is far superior. Anyway, it’s not our purpose to take sides on the tactics/mechanics of the sight picture, just wanted to let you know the new branded Legion sights are available and are optional. They can also be purchased separately from a rifle, of course. If you decide (correctly) that these would make a great Christmas present, then mention either BOLO Report or Soldier Systems Daily when you order and get 10% off the price. Note: you must also be a ‘friend’ of Legion on Facebook to get the discount.
On a related topic, we’ve seen some people on the interwebs asking the rifle competitive shooter Nick Atkinson (who owns AR15targets.com) runs in his 3-gun competitions. The answer: it’s an LF-15C also from Legion Firearms. They’re his sponsor. The rifle has full length monolithic handguards, a NiBX coated bolt carrier group and receiver combo coating, with a CMC trigger. It weighs in at 7.2 pounds, with a hex weight bull barrel. You can purchase a similar upper or lower, or pick up the fully built rifle from Legion. The barrel uses their proprietary honeycomb fluting weight saving system (which hasn’t been named yet because they haven’t come up with a cool enough acronym to suit them). The honeycomb is a patterned barrel and is now available on their new rifles. It allows them to take an entire half pound of rifle weight in material and keep the same accuracy without any barrel walk or stringer groups (like you get when the barrels heat up). Atkinson is killing steel plates with iron sights easy at 500m using this “California edition†LF-15C (California legal, with a non-adjustable gas block).
