Announcing HEX Optics by Springfield Armory

Announcing HEX Optics by Springfield Armory

From Springfield Armory

Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the new HEX™ line of optics, designed to deliver a higher standard of performance and superior optical support for handguns and long guns. The two new HEX optics offer intuitive target acquisition, faster follow-up shots and every-day dependability.

The micro-sized HEX Wasp™ is intended for use on CCW pistols like the 9mm Hellcat® OSP™ and features the Springfield Micro™ footprint popularized by the Hellcat OSP. This system allows for direct mounting to the slide of a pistol, ensuring the lowest possible mount and an ability to co-witness with iron sights like those of the Hellcat. The HEX Wasp is “always-on,” featuring an auto-dimming sensor that regulates the brightness of the dot based on changing ambient light conditions. Battery life is rated at a two-year runtime.

The standard-sized sibling to the Wasp is the HEX Dragonfly™, a versatile red dot sight perfectly suited for use with full-size handguns as well as rifles and shotguns. Employing the Springfield Standard™ footprint, the Dragonfly allows the user to manually choose from eight brightness levels, and a 16-hour auto-off feature prevents the battery from being unintentionally drained. Battery life is rated at a three-year runtime.

Machined from 6061 T6 aluminum that is Hardcoat anodized for protection and durability, the HEX 3.5 MOA Wasp and Dragonfly feature patent-pending side serrations as well as lens shrouds on the forward face that offer added protection for the scratch-resistant, anti-glare-coated glass lenses. Additionally, IPX7-rated waterproofing ensures rugged dependability.

“With the release of the new HEX line of red dots, Springfield Armory is providing shooters with appealing options for their optics-ready firearms,” says Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “The demand for quality red dot optics is growing every day, and these HEX optics stand ready to deliver the quality and performance shooters are expecting.”

Each HEX is built to exacting specifications from premium materials, and every HEX product is thoroughly tested and backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

Mystery Ranch Hands-Free Rifle Sling

From Mystery Ranch

MYSTERY RANCH, an industry-leading backpack company devoted to making mission-specific packs is proud to reveal the new HANDS-FREE RIFLE SLING. For those familiar with MYSTERY RANCH pack accessories, this is their second rendition of a rifle sling. The original was extremely successful, but this year’s release takes rifle carry to another level.

The HANDS-FREE RIFLE SLING serves as both a standalone sling or a functional backpack attachment system for right or left-hand shooters. The ambidextrous and magnetic sternum strap allows the sling to be utilized for secure traveling and instant rifle access when the moment presents itself.

It attaches and grips to your shoulder with a silicon backing, while your rifle stock securely rests in a waistband rifle stock dock that has been greatly enhanced when compared to MYSTERY RANCH’s original rifle sling. The new stock dock is wider than the previous model to increase stability and more securely hold the stock in place while on the move.

Alpine summits, dark timber stands, and river bottom willows are all viable firearm hunting environments where the HANDS-FREE RIFLE SLING will allow hunters to navigate the desired terrain safely and successfully.

FEATURES:

·Wide Rifle Stock Dock attaches to MYSTERY RANCH waist belt.

·Buckles swap sides for right or left carry.

Galco’s Concealed Carry Belt Holster Collection

Galco's Concealed Carry Belt Holster Collection

From Galco

Belt holsters remain a very popular choice for concealed carry, and Galco has an entire collection of belt holsters crafted from different materials.

The Combat Master™ is a premium steerhide belt holster hand-molded to fit specific handguns. This gives it excellent retention properties along with a beautiful appearance. The traditional high-riding pancake-style design pulls the handgun tight to the body and making defensive handguns disappear under even light clothing. It features an open top with firing grip accessibility for speed.

The hybrid TacSlide™ combines steerhide and Kydex for a belt holster that’s fast, concealable, and very economical. Open top and neutral cant make the draw fast and simple, while the wide spacing of the belt slots pulls the handgun in tight to the body. Compact, secure and versatile, the open-muzzle design of the TacSlide makes it a favorite of gun carriers who own multiple barrel lengths of the same firearm model.

The Kydex Corvus™ has an open top for fast draw, adjustment for ride height and cant, and comfortable forward molding. With the bonus of quick conversion to IWB carry, the highly versatile Corvus is a superior choice for defensive handgun carry.

Blackhawk Releases New Stache IWB Concealment Holster

Blackhawk Releases New Stache IWB Concealment Holster

From Blackhawk

Blackhawk, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, has announced the release of its new Stache™ IWB Concealment Holster. Meticulously engineered, this Inside the Waistband (IWB) holster is the ultimate solution for everyday carry, with the perfect balance of comfort, rigidity, and modularity.

Constructed with impact-reinforced, injection-molded polymer, the Stache IWB outperforms the design and material limitations of Kydex® holsters at a price that doesn’t break the bank.  With its ambidextrous design, the Stache IWB also gives both right- and left-handed shooters a comfortable and versatile carry option. The Stache also comes standard with a low-profile shirt guard for added comfort without inhibiting the draw stroke.

“If the holster isn’t comfortable, eventually the carrier will choose a different holster – or worse, stop carrying entirely,” said Justin Hoffman, Blackhawk product manager. “We want people to carry, which is why we developed the Stache.”

Designed to never be seen, the Stache gives users unparalleled comfort and firearm security. The Stache utilizes an optional concealment claw to reduce printing and to add a greater level of stability when carried.

“The concealment claw uses opposing leverage on the interior of the belt, so as the belt pulls the holster in, the claw pushes out,” said Hoffman. “By harnessing this leverage, the pistol grip is pulled in toward the body, reducing printing. By changing out the different sized leverage pads provided, users can tailor the concealment factor to their gun, their body type, and their preference.”

Additional features on the Stache include a 1.5-inch J-style belt clip for secure attachment, as well as height and cant adjustment for both the holster and the optional magazine carrier. Available in Base and Premium configurations, the holster is compatible with a variety of other Blackhawk IWB carry accessories and with Discreet Carry Concepts Gear Clips™.

Optics ready, the Stache IWB is designed to accept popular handgun mounted red dot sights. Multiple variations of the Stache IWB Holster are available to fit a wide range of handguns including the GLOCK 17, GLOCK 19, GLOCK 43, GLOCK 48, SIG SAUER P365, S&W M&P 2.0, S&W Shield, Colt Commander, Taurus G2C and Ruger LC9.

“The Stache was designed by concealed carriers, for concealed carriers,” concluded Hoffman. “When you put it on, carry it and train with it, you will understand why.”

MSRP for the Stache IWB Holster is $39.95 for the Base option and $64.95 for the Premium configuration. For more information about the Stache IWB Holster including in-depth product videos, imagery and specs, visit Blackhawk.com.

Lone Wolf Launches New Pistol Line

Lone Wolf Launches New Pistol Line

From Lone Wolf Arms

Lone Wolf Arms a company known as a leader of innovation in the Glock aftermarket, is proud to announce the Lightweight Tactical Defense (LTD) pistol line. With more than two decades of experience providing aftermarket solutions to enhance both performance and aesthetics of the Glock-pattern pistol, Lone Wolf Distributors has implemented these into a complete pistol.

Unlike many other Glock-pattern alternatives on the market, the LTD is not the result of simple geometry changes, or polishing of new old-stock parts, but rather the culmination of decades of experience. Lone Wolf Arms has seen trends rise and fall, fielded thousands of customer comments and questions, and learned what truly improves the platform. The LTD is the culmination of that experience and provides the same capacity as its inspiration, but thanks to the Timberwolf® Frame, offers a slimmer, more natural feel. Specification junkies will also note that the LTD pistols are also lighter than the original. Critical ounces have been removed from the slide for a pistol that cycles quicker, recoils less, and carries more comfortably.

Specifications:

  • Weight without magazine: 19 ounces
  • Length: 7.16″
  • Barrel Length: 4″
  • Height Including Magwell: 4.77″
  • Width: 0.99″ Slide
  • 1.13″ Frame
    • 1.49″ Magwell
  • Sight Radius: 5.9″
  • Trigger Pull: 6.5lbs
  • Stainless Steel Guide Rod
  • Enlarged Magazine Release
  • Enlarged Slide Stop/Release
  • MSRP: $699.95

Available with a black or grey frame and black nitride or stainless slide, LTD pistols will be available directly from www.LoneWolfDist.com for shipment to a local FFL.

And, if you’ve ever wondered how long polymer handguns will last, here’s what the experts had to say.

ALPS OutdoorZ Impulse Pack

ALPS OutdoorZ Impulse Pack

From ALPS OutdoorZ

ALPS OutdoorZ, the leading manufacturer of extreme-duty packs and gear for hunters, continues to push the envelope on innovation with the introduction of the new Impulse hunting pack.

ALPS OutdoorZ engineers developed the Impulse with an eye toward whitetail hunters who demand maximum quiet and ease-of-access in an all-day pack. To enhance stealth performance, the Impulse comes wrapped in DEADQUIET fleece designed to help deaden sound upon contact with brush or clothing, making it ideal for still hunting. Furthermore, the DEADQUIET fleece is enhanced with a waterproof membrane to protect contents from moisture and to prevent “waterlogging” in snowy or rainy conditions.

Another nod to maximizing silence is the Impulse’s zipperless main compartment lid. The fold-open lid utilizes a series of strong magnets and an aluminum hook to keep the lid closed and contents secure during transport yet allows for quick, silent opening by foregoing traditionally noisy zippers.

Another innovative design feature is the pack’s overall structure, which was engineered to allow the pack to stand upright on the ground or on a tree stand platform. This construction permits the hunter easy access to gear while reducing the pack’s footprint in a blind or on a tree stand.

As a full-feature pack, the Impulse also comes with a two-piece adjustable and detachable waist belt. Other features of the Impulse include:

  • Multiple interior mesh pockets
  • Left- and right-side bungee and cord locks to secure a quiver
  • Two side and one front mesh pocket
  • Drop-down bow or gun carry pocket
  • Integrated rain cover
  • Hydration pocket with two side-outlet hydration ports

The Impulse boasts Realtree EDGE® camo and weighs 5 lbs., 4 oz. Total volume is 30L/1850 in3.
