This newest addition to the SIG AIR PROFORCE line is a replica of the U.S. Military issued M18 handgun in look, balance and handling characteristics.

N8 Tactical Adds New Colors for Holsters and Mag Carrier

N8 Tactical Adds New Colors for Holsters and Mag Carrier

From Media Direct Creative

N8 Tactical, an innovative holster company with a mission to provide quality products with superior comfort for all day, every day carry, now offers new color options for their OT2 mid-size holster, OT2 Micro holster, and IWB magazine carrier.

New for 2020, two additional color options are now available for most popular N8 Tactical models. Consumers have the choice between Desert Sand (a medium tan colored leather) or Desert Moss (a medium green colored leather). Both color options have a matte finish, black stitching, and a black clip for a sleek, two-tone appearance.

The OT2 is designed to accommodate mid- and full-size pistols with broad model compatibility and accommodations for lights and lasers. The OT2 comes with a soft suede backing and a moisture-proof neoprene core situated between the two. The suede backing is comfortable on bare skin or when worn over thin shirts while the neoprene core prevents moisture buildup in warm carry conditions. The updated clip design and location even allows shirts to be tucked for a more formal appearance.

Built for comfortable all-day IWB carry, the OT2 Micro features a dense, stretchable herringbone pocket with an integrated waistband clip that can be rotated for custom positioning of the pistol.

Securing the OT2 Micro pocket is a rugged leather backer that provides structural rigidity while providing an ample surface to comfortably distribute pressure. Sandwiched between the leather backer and soft suede body lining is a neoprene foam core that reduces moisture buildup. The clip design provides complete isolation of the holstered pistol and allows shirts to be tucked for a cleaner carry appearance.

The FLEX IWB Mag Carrier combines function and comfort in a compact, easy to conceal platform. The unique features include a comfort backer, strong polymer clip, and the ability to secure different magazines — from single-stack 1911s to double-stack compact handguns. This magazine carrier confidently changes with every concealed carry setup. Built on a durable leather form, the FLEX IWB Mag Carrier comes with a three-layered, patented backer that provides full coverage of the carrier to maximize comfort and to eliminate pressure points. Designed to accommodate multiple magazine sizes and styles, the FLEX IWB Mag Carrier keeps pace with your change in carry gun choices. Whether you have a Glock 17 and decide to switch to an XDM or want to switch from a Sig P365 to your Springfield Armory Hellcat, the FLEX IWB Mag Carrier has you covered. No more drawers full of mag carriers.

All N8Tactical products comes with a Two-Week, Try it Free Guarantee and a lifetime warranty.

Vortex AMG UH-1 Gen II Holographic Sight

Vortex AMG UH-1 Gen II Holographic Sight

From Vortex

Just look at the brand-new, American made AMG UH-1 Gen II: Tactically minded shooters loved the Gen I’s rugged reliability and lightning-quick target acquisition in close quarters, but they craved night-vision compatibility. The AMG UH-1 Gen II answers that call in a big way.

With four night-vision compatible settings and a dedicated night-vision button, the Gen II is ready to light the way, day and night, keeping the incredibly fast EBR-CQB reticle clear. For quick transitions between night-vision and daylight performance, the Gen II features immediate recall to a shooter’s last daylight setting.

To make target acquisition even faster, we’ve increased the viewing window’s already generous size. And target acquisition isn’t the only thing that’s gotten faster: A truly toolless battery cover makes battery replacement fast and easy to keep your Gen II up and running.

At the same time, shooters will find all the features that made the Gen I such a powerful tactical solution. The incredibly clean and intuitive reticle is simple and fast, and FHQ™ technology virtually eliminates stray light emissions for stealth movement with no forward signature. Also included is the integrated quick-disconnect mount for easy on, easy off convenience.

The best part is, Vortex was able to build all that innovation into a lighter platform, giving shooters even more maneuverability.

The AMG UH-1 Gen II proves that when you listen to your customers, great things happen.

MSRP:

· $799.99 – AMG UH-1 Gen II Holographic Sight

And don’t forget, the company has a new 15×56 mm binoc.

Blackhawk Expands T-Series RDS Holster Line

Blackhawk Expands T-Series RDS Holster Line

From Blackhawk

Blackhawk, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, announced today that it has added a Level 2 Duty (L2D) Light Bearing holster compatible with the Glock 17 to the T-Series Red Dot Sight (RDS) Holster line. The new L2D RDS fit is designed for use with pistol mounted red dot sights and is available in left- and right-handed configurations.

The new dual-injected molded holster is compatible with red dot sights including but not limited to the Trijicon RMR/SRO, Leupold Delta Point Pro, SIG Romeo1Pro, plus other similar sized optics. Each RDS holster features a removable, rotating dust cover that protects the optic from impacts and debris while the firearm remains secure in a durable glass reinforced nylon mold. This combination of features provides users with a sleek, ergonomic design without adding extra bulk to the holster.

The T-Series RDS L2D Holster can be used with the Streamlight TLR-1 and TLR-2 pistol lights and will accommodate the Glock 17/19/22/23/31/32/45/47 pistol models. As the world’s first thumb driven, dual-injected molded holster, each model is standard with a soft touch inner layer that is both super slick and sound-dampening. This durable and efficient, low-friction design translates into a smooth, quiet draw or when re-holstering the sidearm.

Designed to follow Blackhawk’s Master Grip Principle, all T-Series holsters have been specifically developed to allow the user’s hand to land naturally where it should in order to deploy the sidearm.

For more information on the new light-bearing T-Series L2D RDS Holsters or to view the complete line of T-Series holsters visit www.blackhawk.com/holsters/.

And don’t forget the company recently introduced new T-Series Jacket Slot Leg Strap Adapters for the T-Series.
