High Speed Gear released its new Navigator Tech Pouch June 1 for use with personal navigation and similar navigation devices.
The Navigator is a low-profile admin pouch designed to assist in hands-free navigation through smart phone apps. The pouch unfolds and suspends at a 90-degree angle to give clear visibility to a smart phone or similar device, which it holds securely in an adjustable, hook and loop harness. The harness is designed to accommodate most smart phones, including plus-style phones, with or without cases, as large as 7” x 3.5” x 0.75”. The pouch also features an internal pocket with corner cutouts for notebooks or battery packs, as well as an elastic loop for a map pen or marker and another loop by the pocket for an additional pen or cable management.
“We designed the Navigator at the request of some of our friends in the U.S. Army to offer convenient device access, especially for those using personal devices for navigation,” explained Bill Babboni, HSGI® vice president of sales and marketing. “Not everyone has access to top tier GPS tools, and with public navigation apps becoming more and more sophisticated, the Navigator Tech Pouch helps to bring convenience to your fingertips with the functionality that you know and trust from HSGI.”
Meprolight’s engineers made the immensely popular Mepro FRBS even better by offering it with a Hyper-Bright™ front sight featuring an extremely bright colored ring with tritium illumination in your choice of green, yellow or orange. The contrasting sight color enables shooters to acquire the front sight faster and improves target acquisition in all lighting conditions. Choice of two dot or four dot rear sight is available in black or tan.
The durable, tritium enhanced, secondary sights are designed to lay flat against the Picatinny rail to maintain a low—out of the way— profile until needed. They are constructed of fiberglass reinforced with high-grade polymer and metal with a rearward operating spring that allows you to quickly flip them forward into place. Windage and elevation adjustments are easy, no special tools required. The Mepro FRBS with Hyper-Bright™ front sight is the only backup sight on the market that incorporates tritium in the sights to improve the sight picture day or night. The night-time illumination is designed bright enough to see them but not too bright to impact sight picture.
No matter your style of shooting—Self-Defense, Competitive, Military/LE or Hunting—the tritium enhanced FRBS allows you to stay in the fight if your primary optic goes down. It includes a 12 yr. warranty on the tritium illumination.

Bond Arms is known for its outstanding fit and finish on every gun they build. To create a more affordable option for budget-conscious customers without compromising features, Bond Arms trimmed down its finishing process. The Rough Series was born and included the Roughneck, Rowdy, and the newest addition, the Grizzly double-barrel guns. The result is a handgun with the same outstanding qualities inherent in every Bond Arms’ gun without all the frills.
Each Rough Series gun undergoes a quick clean-up and deburring to knock off the sharp edges. After the initial treatment, guns are bead blasted, giving them a rough finish. The parting lines in the metal frame and trigger guard add to the cool factor. Swirly tool marks on the barrels and tiny casting imperfections and rough areas add a unique individual character to these handguns. Built-in a fraction of the time compared to standard production models, the reduced labor cost of the Rough Series guns translates into huge savings for the customer.
The Defender above gives you an idea of the quality that goes into Bond Arms guns.
The Rough Series Handguns
Bond Rough Series handguns include premium features found in all their double-barrelled guns, like stainless-steel barrels and frames, cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pins, spring-loaded cam-lock lever and rebounding hammer. Rough Series guns use the same grade of stainless steel as all production models.
The Roughneck is a new type of Bond Arms’ gun. It’s built with a 2.5″ barrel, chambered for 9mm, 357/38 or 45ACP, and features a blade front sight and fixed rear sight. The compact handgun uses a textured rubber grip. The Roughneck works best with smooth-lined holsters. $269
At 5 inches long, the Rowdy is the ‘big brother’ in the line, chambered for the powerful .45 Long Colt, and 2½-inch .410 bore shotshells. A blade front sight and fixed rear sight mount directly on its 3-inch barrels. A smooth-lined holster works best. $299
The Grizzly features several upgrades from its Rowdy cousin. Vibrant rosewood grips engraved with grizzly bear artwork, the Bond Arms name and a checkered panel, add texture and character. The pistol includes a matching leather holster embossed with a grizzly bear. Its 3-inch barrels are chambered in .45 Long Colt, and 2½-inch .410 bore shotshells. $377
The Bond Arms Rough Series are compact and rugged handguns built with the same quality parts and materials as the other Bond Arms production models. The rough finish gives each pistol its unique charm.
Champion Range & Targets, makers of interactive and challenging target systems and trusted eye and ear protection, announced today the arrival of their new Small Frame ear muffs. These new muffs are designed specifically to fit smaller heads, making them ideal for shooters that find traditional hearing muffs too large.
“At Champion, we are constantly looking at the hearing protection market in order to bring the best products to the shooting industry,” said Will Hemeyer, senior product manager for Champion Range & Targets. “Premium materials and comfort have been a key component of our new hearing protection over the last few years. These small frame muffs were developed based on feedback from shooters with smaller heads who had tried traditional muffs but found them to be too big and uncomfortable. Based on their feedback and from others across our retail channels, we now have the most comfortable set of slim muffs on the market that users can obtain in five exciting color patterns.”
Champion Small Frame sound dampening ear muffs offer the same great protection shooters have come to expect from Champion, with a noise reduction rating of 21 dB, comfortable headband and adjustable fit for a wide range of ages. These lightweight, low-profile muffs are made for all-day comfort and superior hearing protection at the range. Multiple color options are available, including black, gray, pink, orange and blue.
The muffs are also priced for entry-level shooters with an MSRP of $14.95. For more information about these or other Champion hearing protection products, visit championtarget.com.
Galco’s iDefense™ carries not only a defensive handgun, but also accommodates a tablet computer! The iDefense safely secures a compact or full-size defensive handgun and spare ammo with an elasticized nylon holster concealed within a zipped compartment. The tablet is held in place outside the gun compartment on a sturdy backing plate that’s fully adjustable for tablet angle.
The Hidden Agenda™ is a handgun carrying case that is also a fully functional day planner. The separation of holster compartment and business tools puts it on the self-defense agenda in settings that require complete discretion. It comes with a Day Runner calendar and pad of ruled paper.
Whether you’re casually dressed or in business attire, Galco’s compact carrying case may be your best plan for defense. Masquerading as a compact day planner, the Defense Planner™ opens to reveal a handgun and spare ammunition.
Made from the same fine leather as our handbags, all three are padded to prevent “printing.” They feature a lockable zipper pull and a removable wrist strap. Holsters and spare ammo loops are elastic to accommodate handguns of various sizes.
Ed Brown Products, Inc. is excited to be adding the F4 to the Fueled™ Series of custom pistols, based on the popular Smith & Wesson® M&P® 2.0™ 9mm.
For over 50 years, Ed Brown has set the standard for the highest quality 1911 parts and handguns. Driven to find ways to improve, they’ve taken advantage of modern technology and re-engineered every part in the 1911, in order to achieve the best performance possible. This same philosophy is now being applied to other handgun platforms such as the S&W® M&P 2.0.
The new MP-F4 shares most of the custom features and characteristics of its three predecessors with one exception – the golden barrel. Coated in Titanium Nitride, it gives this new pistol a luxurious appeal, it really stands out with the Black Nitride custom slide, black custom trigger, and black frame. Ed Brown’s custom accuracy rail is the heart of the Fueled™ Series. Perfectly mating the slide to the barrel for an exceptional fit, improving lockup and accuracy. Next is a fully machined custom slide, with custom cuts for a striking appearance, with material in all the right areas for hard use and to maintain functionality. The 416 stainless, button rifled match barrel customized with Ed Brown tread flutes, includes ½ x 28 threads and a custom thread protector, so it’s fully suppressor ready. The re-designed and re-engineered custom extractor mates perfectly to the custom slide, ensuring the best reliability possible. Finishing off the package is custom sights, trigger, 360 degree magwell paired with machined base pads, machined frame pins, and aluminum backplate with custom serrations. Each Fueled™ Series model is fitted by hand with the same focus and care as they’ve been doing for more than 50 years.
In addition to four Fueled™ Series models, a complete line of fully machined parts and accessories are available for Smith & Wesson® M&P® 2.0™.
Sales and Marketing Director John May said, “After over 50 years of being the custom 1911 source, Ed Brown is now the custom M&P® source as well. Just one more reason, that if you haven’t looked at Ed Brown in while, it is time to look again!”
The Escort BTS bullpup offers all the perks of the VTS series shotguns in a more compact, portable package. This next-generation shotgun is available in either 12 ga or .410 cal and is offered in either black or FDE Cerakote. The inline gas piston design is mounted around the barrel, minimizing bulk and allowing the use of a proper bullpup layout. The tough polymer lower receiver also doubles as the forend grip, with soft rubber inlays for improved handling. Its magazine well is lined with durable alloy for smooth, long-lasting performance. The synthetic barrel cover features Hatsan’s patented ThermoDefend technology that absorbs and dissipates heat while containing the gas piston operating system.
Recoil control is distributed between a soft rubber buttpad and a long recoil spring located behind the gas piston. The reversible charging handle offers versatility to suit varying shooter preferences. The soft rubber pistol grip is removable and can be exchanged for one of many currently available aftermarket options to suit the individual user. The one-piece carry handle sight can be replaced with included flip-up sights for a lower profile or when using mounted optics. Picatinny rails are also located on either side of the forend to accommodate a variety of accessories.
The 12-gauge models feature an 18” barrel with removable chokes, including an extended cylinder bore choke brake that helps tame recoil with heavy shot or slugs. Also included are Full and Improved Cylinder flush-mount chokes, with additional options available from HatsanUSA. Each gun ships with two 5-round magazines, but an optional 2-round magazine is also available. The gun is chambered to accept both 2 ¾” and 3” shells and will cycle them interchangeably with no external adjustments required by the shooter.
The .410 models feature a 20” barrel with integrated choke suitable for both shot and slugs. Offering the same recoil-absorbing characteristics as the larger caliber models, this shotgun is one smooth operator. Also, it is shipped with two 5-round magazines, the optional low-capacity mag holds 3 shells. The gas piston operates in the same manner, cycling both standard and magnum loads smoothly and reliably.
As with all Escort shotguns, the barrels are proof tested at the factory to ensure quality and durability. The hard chrome and/or Cerakote coatings are built to withstand the harshest conditions and look good while doing it. HatsanUSA offers a 5-year limited warranty with all Escort firearms.

The compact M-FAK Mini First Aid Kits in Realtree Camo empowers sportsmen with the most requested point-of-wounding equipment in the smallest cube space possible so it can be easily packed along with hunting or fishing gear.
The Sportsman version of North American Rescue’s M-FAK Mini First Aid Kit was designed to be the most compact, multi-use IFAK for delivering immediate critical care for penetrating or other traumatic injuries encountered in the field. At half the size of North American Rescue’s popular T.O.R.K. platform, this M-FAK is currently the smallest platform available in its product offering. Despite its reduced size, this kit comes fully loaded with the critical medical equipment most requested by first responders operating in the line of duty.
The M-FAK’s super compact, 500 Denier nylon bag opens from the side in a clam shell configuration utilizing two main sleeves that open on both ends for easy access and features multiple elastic loops for secure gear organization. The bag’s exterior includes a MOLLE backing for mounting in the standard vertical position as well as a 3-inch internal sleeve for accommodating horizontal attachment to your duty belt. The vertical mount can be set to open left-to-right or right-to-left based on shooter preference, while the horizontal mount on a belt allows opening directly to your C-A-T.® tourniquet. Also included are a loop patch on front of the bag for custom user labeling and three MOLLE strips to attach additional gear such as a TQ/Holder (sold separately) if needed.

Faxon Firearms, a Cincinnati, Ohio-based manufacturer of quality rifle and pistol components, and complete firearms, is excited to announce the release of their new Match Series Barrels for Glock® G43/43X.
“This year we are making a big push to expand both our pistol barrel and pistol part and accessories lines. We released M&P® Shield barrels last month, G43 is just releasing, and keep your eye out soon for another single-stack offering. After that, expect some exciting new accessories and different pistol platform barrel offerings. We’ve brought a lot of new machines and equipment online over the past couple of months, which will allow us to really push into these segments.” – Jay Wilson, Faxon Director of Product Management
Faxon’s Match Series pistol barrels for Glock® G43/43X are machined 100% in-house from stress-relieved 416-R stainless steel. These barrels are then given a black Nitride or PVD coating to increase lubricity, barrel life, and resistance to surface wear. All barrels are conventionally rifled to allow a wider range of ammunition to be used, including cast lead. The barrels drop into factory-spec slides with no gunsmithing required. Better-than-factory tolerances ensure a consistent, tighter lockup than OEM.
