New Guns & Gear for 2021—CMMG’s Shortest Banshee Yet

New Guns & Gear for 2021—CMMG’s Shortest Banshee Yet

From CMMG

CMMG® is proud to introduce the shortest and most compact BANSHEE™ to date. This new line-up is chambered in .22LR and features a capped lower receiver with no buffer tube (receiver extension).

This ultra-compact BANSHEE is made possible by CMMG’s new .22LR End Cap – which is a new way to transform your .22LR AR15 build. The .22LR End Cap is the perfect accessory that shortens your .22LR AR15 by replacing the need for a receiver extension and buffer assembly. The .22LR End Cap is compatible with all CMMG .22LR AR Conversion Kits, as well as any AR15 that uses a dedicated CMMG .22LR bolt carrier group and barrel.

The .22LR End Cap is available in two variations: standard, with a smooth exterior and CMMG logo (.22LR End Cap LOGO), and QD (quick-detach), which has an attachment point machined into the exterior for attaching a QD sling. Installing the .22LR End Cap is made easy by securing the .22LR End Cap on the back of the lower receiver with a 3/8” hex wrench, in lieu of the buffer tube.

The .22LR End Cap with CMMG logo can be purchased separately for $24.95 and the QD End Cap for $29.95.

BANSHEE lower groups and complete BANSHEE .22LR pistols are offered with the .22 LR End Cap preinstalled: the BANSHEE 100 Series comes with the .22 LR End Cap LOGO and the BANSHEE 200 and 300 Series come with the QD End Cap. MSRP on the complete BANSHEE pistols range from $799.95 to $1,024.95.

New Guns & Gear for 2021—ACE Riv by GiantMouse Knives

New Guns & Gear for 2021—ACE Riv by GiantMouse Knives

From GiantMouse Knives

Good things really do come in small packages. GiantMouse Knives released the Riv this week, a compact folder in the company’s ACE line of folding knives. The Riv was designed in the lines of the Biblio but is a completely new design with its own feel and expression.

Why a compact knife? The knife’s designers, Jens Ansø and Jesper Voxnaes, grew up out in nature working the forest and doing chores around the house. They were taught to carry a fixed blade and a small folder. The fixed blade will perform most of the cutting tasks, but the folder should be kept razor sharp for finer tasks and be your back-up, if the fixed blade is lost or dulls. The Riv fills that role perfectly.

Here’s my complete list of the best new guns and gear for 2021.

The Riv is available in Titanium, Brass, and Green Canvas Micarta. While the green canvas Micarta version will be sold through dealers, the brass and full Ti versions are GiantMouse exclusives, and will only be available on the GiantMouse website. All feature Elmax blade steel, ball bearing pivot, and titanium frame lock.

The blades are 2.44″ (62mm) in length, measured from tip to forward-most aspect of the frame, and are 0.118″ (3mm) thick. The handles are 3.375″ (85.73mm) long. Giving the Riv an overall length of 5.75″ (146mm).

New Guns & Gear for 2021—TrueTimber Prairie Camo Featured on Savage Renegauge Shotgun

New Guns & Gear for 2021—TrueTimber Prairie Camo Featured on Savage Renegauge Shotgun

From TrueTimber

The Savage Renegauge semi-automatic shotgun is now available in TrueTimber Prairie camo. The Renegauge debuted as the first semi-automatic shotgun offered by Savage earlier this year and has found success across the board with shotgun enthusiasts. The Savage Renegauge Prairie model features Prairie camo on the stock and forend paired with a Cerakote finish on the action and barrel.

Here’s my complete list of the best new guns and gear for 2021.

“We are really excited to partner with Savage on the Renegauge and we think this gun has a bright future for shotgunners of all kinds,” said TrueTimber CEO Rusty Sellars. “We have had a lot of success working with Savage in the past to decorate guns like the 110 High Country in TrueTimber camo, which continues to prove itself in the long-range hunting arena year after year. It is awesome to see Savage dive into the semi-automatic shotgun market with such a well-rounded gun and we are extremely excited to see it available in TrueTimber Prairie camo.”

Savage Renegauge Prairie

The American made Savage Renegauge will change the way you think about semi-automatic shotguns. The Renegauge can handle the hottest high-brass and the mildest low-recoil shells with the same dependability. The patented D.R.I.V. (Dual Regulating Inline Valve) gas system ensures excess gas vents before it drives the bolt, resulting in consistent ejection, less felt recoil and a lighting fast cyclic rate for dependably fast split times. The Renegauge has been designed to fit almost any shooter. Everything from length-of-pull to comb height and drop at the heel can be adjusted to fit. These features combined with a Cerakote® action and TrueTimber Prairie camo stock and forend complete a perfect combination for winged shooting. MSRP $1,549.

TrueTimber Prairie incorporates both macro and micro camo schematics. The macro design breaks up the human outline at all distances while the micro design melts into any terrain at close range. Originally designed as an abstract waterfowl pattern, Prairie has quickly gained traction outside the wetlands, blinds, marshes and sloughs. Prairie can easily transition from open flatlands to the turkey woods to open desert terrain and from the tree stand to the duck blind without missing a beat.

New Guns & Gear for 2021—Zeta6 EDC Offset Speedstrip for 5-Shot J-Frame Revolvers

New Guns & Gear for 2021—Zeta6 EDC Offset Speedstrip for 5-Shot J-Frame Revolvers

From Zeta Industries

Zeta Industries is please to introduce the Zeta6™ J-PAK™, an offset speedstrip that loads 3 and 2 in 5-shot J-frame revolvers chambered in 38SP/357. Traditional speedstrips load a 5-shot revolver in a 2-2-1 sequence. With J-PAK™, the familiar speedstrip design has been offset slightly to load in a 3-2 sequence, loading three rounds in the first motion. Its narrow profile makes it great for concealed pocket carry. The thin, flexible material allows the cartridges to flex and conform when in a pocket yet align the rounds perfectly when reloading a revolver. And like the K-PAK™, two J-PAKs can be nested together to carry ten rounds in a little more space than only five. This is the fourth speedloader product in the Zeta6 brand for 5-shot J-frames. www.zetasix.com

Here’s my complete list of the best new guns and gear for 2021.

“Our goal was to design a narrow, EDC/pants-pocket speedloader that offered advantages over conventional speedstrips, and could still be carried discreetly.”, says designer Michael Lyle. “The commercial success of our first offset strip, K-PAK™, resulted in substantial customer feedback asking for a J-frame version. During the design process, we learned that by adding an extra sixth socket we could make the product ambidextrous.”, continues Michael Lyle. “Depending on which of the two middle sockets are left empty, the user can configure J-PAK for either left- or right-hand use. And the empty middle socket creates a finger gap that can be used for added stability.”

The Zeta6™ J-PAK™ works perfectly with all 5-shot J-frame size revolvers chambered in 38 Special and 357 Magnum.

J-PAK™ is sold in 2-pack packaging and retails for $11.95. J-PAK™ is available now on the zetasix.com website.

New Guns & Gear for 2021—ALLEN Introduces Auto-fit 2.0 Handgun Storage Cases

From Allen Company

TheAllen Company® is pleased to introduce a new evolution of handgun cases rendering the use of an old “handgun rug” for storage as obsolete.

Handgun sales have seen an unprecedented surge in sales over the last 12-month period, and as a result, retailers are clamoring to find new storage solutions for those hungry customers. In 2021, Allen Company is unveiling their Auto-fit 2.0 Handgun Storage Cases-an advancement in evolution over their original Auto-fit series.

Now, with the NEW Auto-fit 2.0 Storage Cases, those same fit features are present, as well as the following additional features:

·Broadened and improved auto-shape fitting index fits wider range of autoloaders and more revolver sizes

·Improved zipper pull aesthetic and function for better discreet access

·Larger zippered compartments for greater accessory storage consideration

·Lockable for transport and safety

The Auto-fit 2.0 Storage Cases are available in the following models:

·7in. Single Case, Black (MSRP: $17.99)

·9in. Single Case, Black or Heather Grey (MSRP: $17.99)

·11in. Large Case, Black or Heather Grey (MSRP: $19.99)

Whether you enjoy shooting handguns at indoor ranges, outdoor plinking on interactive targets or continuously improving your defensive skills, these new storage cases provide a great storage compliment to any of those needs.

These products will be shipping soon-just in time for the 2021 selling season.
