The new Blackhawk Basketweave T-Series Holster is now available for Glock 17s and a light-bearing model is available. The two new Level 3 Duty (L3D) holsters are designed with a new basketweave finish to better serve the needs of on-duty law enforcement officers and are compatible with the Glock 17 pistol.
The basketweave design is a staple finish in the law enforcement community as the pattern is quite common on active-duty holsters and belts. The black leather design offers an enhanced look and feel, increasing the command presence of on-duty officers. The Blackhawk Basketweave T-Series Holster is designed to match frequently used belts, pouches and other accessories and continues the company’s long-standing legacy of duty-rated holsters.
The Blackhawk T-Series line is the world’s first dual-injected molded holster. The holster combines the company’s proven outer body strength made possible with a glass-reinforced nylon along 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 developed to allow the user’s hand to land naturally where it should in order to deploy the sidearm.
The T-Series line is available in Level 2 and Level 3 configurations, including options for both compact and light-bearing holsters. All models are duty-rated and with their shared functionality, Blackhawk has helped solve the commonality of training with the same draw for every model holster. Whether going from concealment, Level 2 or Level 3, the draw stroke remains the same even with the holster changes making the T-Series the ideal holster to meet the needs of law enforcement and military professionals.
For more information on the new L3D basketweave holstesr for the Glock 17/19/22/23/31/32/45/47 or to view the complete line of T-Series holsters be sure to visit the company’s website.
And if basketweave isn’t your thing, here’s a look at the company’s T-series for Glock 20/21 without that treatment.
The cartridge was rolled out only last year and now there are new .350 Legend loads from Browning Ammunition. The .350 Legend offers many features and benefits to the millions of hunters and recreational sport shooters. It is compliant in states that only allow straight-walled centerfire cartridges for hunting, and it is also uniquely suited for use across multiple firearm platforms from traditional bolt-action rifles to modern sporting rifles to even single-shot pistols and revolvers.
In 2020, Browning Ammunition is introducing two new .350 Legend rounds. The first, a full metal jacket (FMJ), 124-grain round with muzzle velocity of 2,500 feet per second (fps), which can be coined the fastest straight-walled cartridge in the world (when fired from a 20-inch barrel).
Special Notice: This load is one of the most popular items to appear at this year’s SHOT Show, but there’s reason to believe the event won’t take place in 2021. Here are full details.
The second, a newly developed .350 Legend Browning BXR Deer bullet, is a 155-grain rapid expansion design that maximizes energy transfer on impact for quick and effective terminal performance. The proprietary Matrix Tip (copper/polymer) initiates rapid expansion.
And if the new .350 Legend loads from Browning Ammunition aren’t “fresh” enough for you taste, the .27 Nosler is fresh off the presses this year.
Here are the answers to some .350 Legend questions I’ve been asked recently, and here’s a link to more technical specs of the cartridge. There you’ll also find a direct link to its SAAMI approved cartridge and chambering technical drawings.
Finding the right cartridge for long distance can be a challenge, but the experts I interviewed provided some sound advice.
Thank you for visiting my modest blog. Leave a comment if you have time and I hope you have a glorious day.
Editor’s Note: Federal introduced a new .350 Legend load in its Fusion line in June 2020. Here are more details.
SureFire is showcasing a new class-1, civilian-legal XVL2-IRC Pistol & Carbine Light/Laser Module system, a premier handgun aiming and illuminating system for both low-light and no-light use, at the 2020 SHOT Show. It features visible and IR aiming lasers and illuminators, along with the proven ergonomic switching of the X300 series of Weaponlights, all together in an extremely compact package.
Technological advancements in tactical illumination are key design elements in the civilian legal XVL2-IRC. Its laser carriage system houses a visible green (520 nm) laser and an 850 nm infrared laser. This unique carriage system facilitates alignment of the visible and infrared laser simultaneously via an x-axis and y-axis adjustment platform. The x-axis and y-axis adjustment screws are sealed to protect against water and to prevent contamination from debris. The adjustment screws feature incremental milliradian adjustment.
The XVL2-IRC also utilizes MaxVision Beam technology to provide wide-angle illumination for target acquisition and situational awareness. The MaxVision Beam technology is crucial in keeping the XVL2-IRC profile small and lightweight, which are important factors to maintain the ability to fit in duty-grade holsters.
Special Notice: The SHOT Show is where the industry unveils the latest and greatest, but there may not be a SHOT Show 2021. Here are more details.
The MaxVision Beam head assembly is paired with a co-aligned, dual-beam visible/infrared laser module. The dual laser/LED system of the civilian legal XVL2-IRC efficiently generates both white and infrared illumination from a dual emitter LED module that allows the delivery of useful levels of tactical light and efficient run times in both visible and infrared spectrums using one 123A lithium battery. An ambidextrous, momentary- and constant-on switch located at the rear of the unit’s body provides redundant switching. The local switching also facilitates using the XVL2-IRC as a handheld light if removed from the host weapon.
The introduction signals yet another advance in the evolution of weaponlight technology. Here’s a quick look at how we’ve arrived at this point, and now you can even get one weaponlight with a camera—providing proof if you wind up in court.
Hundreds of new products will officially be unveiled at the SHOT Show Tuesday morning, but the SIG Sauer Cross Rifle chambered in .277 Fury will attract gun writers like iron filings to a magnet. They’ll crowd around in abrasive clumps and cling to every word at the company booth.
The .277 Fury is the commercial version of SIG Sauer’s 6.8 mm entry into the military’s NGSW competition. More on that later. The bolt action is also available in 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Win.
Special Notice: The SHOT Show is where the industry unveils the latest and greatest, but there may not be a SHOT Show 2021. Here are more details.
The SIG Sauer Cross Rifle chambered in .277 Fury is the company’s first precision bolt-action with “All American” bloodlines. It’s a design from SIG Sauer’s New Hampshire engineers. Manufacturing and machining are also done in the state. The world’s best long-range shooters and professional hunters tested the Cross lineup before unveiling.
“When our product management team and engineers researched developing a bolt-action rifle, they looked at what was missing from the market, and what new innovation SIG could bring to hunters and precision shooters,” said Tom Taylor, chief marketing officer and executive vice president of Commercial Sales at SIG Sauer. “Hunting rifles are typically focused on less weight, and accuracy is secondary. Precision rifles are designed for extreme accuracy, with no weight limitations. What was missing from the market was a true crossover. Our product management team and engineers took the best of both worlds and developed the Cross featuring the characteristics of a hunting rifle, with the accuracy of a precision rifle.”
The .308 Win. and .277 Fury have a 16-inch barrel. Overall length is 36.5 inches, but the folding stock lets it compress to 25. Weight is 6.2 pounds without a magazine. In 6.5 Creedmoor overall length is 35.5 inches and it shrinks to 27. Weight (sans magazine) is 6.4 pounds and barrel length 18 inches.
Features on all of SIG Sauer’s Cross rifles include stocks that fold at the push of a button. All have a one-piece aluminum receiver that eliminates the need for bedding the action and use AI magazines. M-LOK handguards surround the free floated stainless-steel rifled barrels. Triggers are two-stage match-grade and externally adjustable from 2.5 to 4 pounds. The safety is ambidextrous. Bolts are a three-lug design with a 60-degree throw and handles are interchangeable. The precision stock is spring-loaded for one-handed operation and fully adjustable for length of pull and comb height with no tools. The rifles have a full-length replaceable picatinny rail that allows for direct optics mounts.
The SIG Sauer Cross Rifle chambered in .277 Fury big news guaranteed to energize SHOT Show attendees.
