ALPS OutdoorZ, premiere manufacturer of extreme-duty packs and gear for big-game hunters and outdoor adventurers, expands its line of X-series products for backcountry hunters with the introduction of the new Renegade X compression stuff sack.
The Renegade X was developed to provide maximum water protection and content compression for backcountry adventurers to keep gear dry and secure in any environment. Constructed of 70D nylon ripstop with a durable waterproof coating and waterproof taped seams, the Renegade X features a special Air Control bottom fabric that allows air to be pushed out during compression. This design means no volume is wasted on trapped air so contents such as clothes or a sleeping bag can be stuffed to maximum density, creating a smaller footprint on a backpack or in a transport. The Air Control bottom fabric also eliminates valves utilized on some dry bag models that can fail over time.
Adding to the Renegade X’s extreme adventure construction are strong nylon webbing cinch straps with bartacked stress points and a rolltop closure with quick-release buckles. The Renegade X is available in the following sizes and capacities:
Small, 10L, 7”D x 16”L, 4.8 oz.
Medium, 20L, 9”D x 20”L, 6.4 oz.
Large, 35L, 11”D x 23”L, 7.2 oz.
XL, 45L, 12”D x 25”L, 8 oz.

OSS Suppressors LLC proudly introduces the new RAD™ 9 and RAD™ 45 – a significant advancement in pistol suppressors. Lightweight and modular, the RAD 9 and RAD 45 are built with our next generation Flow-Baffle™ technology, substantially reducing gas blowback while maintaining superior pistol performance. You’ll feel the difference the first time you shoot.
OSS’s innovative Flow-Baffle design is based on our patented and proven Flow-Through® technology. Flow-Baffles direct expanding gas away from the bore-line, and radial grooves route them forward through the suppressor and away from the shooter.
“We began development of the 9 and 45 after the launch of our popular rimfire suppressor, the RAD 22,” said David Sanders, Director of Research and Development. “As most pistol owners know, you need some blowback for your pistol to function. So, the design challenge was to mitigate the blowback increase when suppressed while maintaining superior pistol performance. We’ve done it with these two new RADs!”
Technical advisor Dan Brokos, CEO of Lead Faucet Tactical and retired Army Special Forces SGM did extensive prototype testing. Here’s what Dan had to say:
“It’s annoying to get that constant sting in my face when I shoot my Glock suppressed. When I first shot the RAD 9 and 45 in a side-by-side comparison with popular pistol cans, I was blown away by the difference! Less gas, less recoil and a real soft feel, and my groupings were tight AF.”
“We’re excited to have the new RAD 9 and RAD 45 available to purchase March 15th at SilencerShop and other OSS Dealers,” said Jake VanAllen, Director of Commercial and LE Sales. “They really check all the boxes for what pistol owners are looking for in a modular suppressor.”

Browning® Ammunition has added yet another excellent option for the serious waterfowler. The all-new Wicked Blend™ shotshells utilize a combination of bismuth and steel for even better performance on ducks and geese at extended ranges.
The same premium plated steel shot from the award-winning Wicked Wing® XD makes up 70% of the shot payload by weight. The remaining 30% is a premium plated precision rounded bismuth for a stacked payload like no other. Bismuth is significantly denser and heavier than steel, which allows for use of a smaller shot size with equivalent performance. By dropping down in shot size, the number of pellets and the pattern density increase. Additionally, those smaller bismuth pellets penetrate deeper into the target to break bone and penetrate vitals.
In addition to the increase in pellet count and downrange energy, the extra-distance Wicked Wad™ is engineered to ensure uniform shot release and tight patterns through a variety of choke designs. All of this paired with high velocities and a wide choice of shot sizes and you have a formula for depositing more focused, high-energy hits on birds for cleaner kills and easier retrieves.
Wicked Blend is offered in two 12ga 3-inch loads and two 12ga 3 1/2-inch loads, where you can choose between a blend of #2 steel with #4 bismuth or BB steel with #1 bismuth, and there’s also one 20ga 3-inch offering of #2 steel with #4 bismuth. With load specs for both ducks and geese, there is a Wicked Blend formula right for you.
A wicked blend of steel and bismuth for better patterns and harder hits. Look for Browning Wicked Blend in 25-round boxes at a retailer or dealer near you.
Rock River Arms, the industry’s most respected name in Modern Sporting Rifles and pistols, is honored to have received the 2020 Editor’s Choice Award from On Target magazine for the company’s new RUK-BT9 9mm AR pistol.
The RUK-BT9, with its 4.5-inch barrel and 9mm chamber, was developed to provide a highly mobile, highly maneuverable, compact personal defense firearm that offers ammunition and magazine compatibility with 9mm GLOCK handguns. In this configuration, the RUK-BT9 simplifies ammunition and magazine requirements while expanding firearm selection for home or mobile defense.
From the factory, the RUK-BT9 comes well-equipped and ready for deployment. Built around RRA’s billet aluminum BT-9 lower receiver and chrome-lined 4.5-inch barrel with 1:10 twist, the RUK-9BT includes SB Tactical SBA3 6-position stabilizing arm brace, RRA two-stage trigger, Smith Vortex flash suppressor, Hogue rubber grip, and RRA NSP flip-up open sights. The M-LOK compatible free-float handguard comes with a Low-Pro hand stop while the full-length rail system accommodates Picatinny mount red dot optics.
Evaluator and noted firearm journalist Dave Bahde, writing for On Target, summarized the RUK-BT9:
“The bottom line is that every time I test one of these pistol-caliber ARs it’s difficult to send it back at the end, and this was particularly true with the very well equipped, reliable and very accurate Rock River BT9G…”
