New Guns & Gear for 2021—Magpul MOE K2-XL Grip

From Magpul

Designed for use with larger hands and to enhance precision shooting with an AR, the K2-XL Grip is similar to our MOE-K2® Grip – AR15/M4 but it’s nearly 25% bigger. It offers a more vertical grip angle to improve comfort and control on short LOP rifles where the primary hand is closer to the shooter’s body and enables proper finger placement in precision shooting to improve accuracy. Its TSP texture increases positive weapon control, the front and rear serrations provide traction. The K2-XL brings modern styling and ergonomics to the AR platform in a larger size. The XL grip cap, oil bottle grip core, and mounting hardware are included, but other Magpul grip cores will not fit with the K2-XL grip cap.

Features

  • Approximately 25% larger than MOE K2 Grip
  • More vertical angle provides optimal hand position for modern shooting techniques
  • Accepts proprietary XL grip cap and oil bottle grip core (not compatible with current grip cores)
  • TSP textured side panels and front and rear serrations provide positive traction and enhanced weapons control

New Guns & Gear for 2021—Elite Iron Revolution Bipod Panning Model

From Elite Iron

Elite Iron, premier designer and manufacturer of professional grade firearms equipment and accessories, is proud to offer their innovative Revolution Bipod Panning Model.

Through years of researching and developing alternatives to the traditional bipod, Elite Iron has patented their proprietary designs based upon deep experience of real world tactical demands. The result of their commitment and efforts is the creation of the Revolution Bipod Panning Model. Designed for rifles up to .338 caliber, it is the most revolutionary choice in superior design for strength, stability, adjustability, and choices in the tactical world today. The bipod and mount weigh only 24 ounces. 

Elite Iron has chosen only the highest quality components, resulting in reliable product strength. With no exposed springs or cheaply made stamped parts, the Revolution Bipod Panning Model‘s legs and tube stems are made of 7075 aluminum. The leg locks are made from 17-4 heat treated material  and the hidden springs are made from 316 stainless steel.

The Revolution Bipod Panning Model also offers impressive stability while allowing the rifle to revolve a full 360 degrees. The bipod maintains control of two axes of motion: side to side and up and down. Any position can be locked in place by tightening the tri-nut. Ease of movement decreases by tightening the torsion nut slightly until the final position is found and locked. The innovative design of the Revolution Bipod places the rifle under the apex of the legs and not on top.

The superior adjustability of the Revolution Bipod Panning Model allows the rifle to have horizontal 10 o’clock through 2 o’clock movement. The length of the legs can be adjusted quickly one at a time and at different lengths. Legs can be positioned or rotated forward, straight or back and either in parallel or separately. The center line of the ring is 7.25″ with legs retracted and 12.25″ extended on the Standard Leg Bipod. On the Optional Short Leg Bipod, the center line of the ring is 6″ with legs retracted and 10″ extended. The user can also attach different kinds of feet to match the environment.

Every Revolution Bipod comes with a choice of one free mount. The buyer will need to choose the right mount for the rifle and the interface (at an additional charge) that matches that mount. However, if the rifle has an interface such as a PIC RAIL, an interface might not be needed.

Every Revolution Bipod comes with a 2-year limited warranty. All parts are replaceable and available from Elite Iron.

CZ Shadow 2 OR Pistol Wins Ballistic’s Best Reader’s Choice Award

From CZ-USA

The results of the Ballistic Magazine’s annual Ballistic’s Best Awards are in, and the Shadow 2 OR pistol from CZ-USA has been named as the best Full Size Semi-Automatic Handgun of the year. 

The awards cover a broad spectrum of firearms in the magazine’s Best Guns of the Year issue, which tests and ranks over 100 handguns, rifles, and shotguns every year, setting the best apart from the rest. 

“CZ’s Shadow 2 OR really turned out to be the full package in this year’s go-big-or-go-the-hell-home category,” says Nino Bosaz, editorial director of Ballistic magazine. “Besides the fact that, aesthetically, it’s a head-turner, this 19+1 fighter ran like a turbo-tuned, dead-accurate racing machine.” 

The Ballistic’s Best winners are chosen in an unbiased method with category rankings determined by testing teams based on a nine-point criteria system that includes aesthetics, ergonomics, sights, trigger control, recoil control, reloading ease, accuracy, reliability and value/price. The magazine only uses the final tallies on the score sheets to crown the winners in each category. Objectivity is paramount for Ballistic, and its parent company, Athlon Outdoors. 

“Our team pledges full honesty and transparency in our scoring process and editorial practices,” Bosaz writes in the issue. “There’s no pay-to-play funny business in this awards issue or any magazine issue we produce. It’s no wonder CZ-USA can barely keep up with consumer demand.” 

The Shadow 2 OR beat out several state-of-the-art handguns in its category, including the Beretta 92X Performance, the Ruger 57, the Springfield Elite XD-M 5.25, the Smith & Wesson M&P 9 2.0 Pro Series CORE, the IWI Masada, the Zev Tech Z320 XCarry Octane, and the SAR9X Platinum pistol. 

The Shadow 2 OR is an updated version of the original Shadow 2 with a milled slide to accept various red-dot sights. The original Shadow 2 came in second place in last year’s Ballistic’s Best awards.  

“When the scoring was done, I can’t say it was a real surprise. CZ’s new Optics Ready Shadow 2 flipped the script this time around by pulling ahead of the Walther Q5’s little brother, the Q4 SF, and finishing in front by a nose,” says Garret Lucas, who ran the handgun tests in the category. “With aesthetics, accuracy, reliability, recoil control, and its trigger as its highest-scoring criteria, the CZ Shadow 2 OR had it all when it came to the most important aspects of a top-tier shooter.”
