Davidson's Exclusive Engraved Glock 43

From Davidson’s

Davidson’s, one of the nation’s top firearms wholesalers, has partnered with Altamont to produce this finely engraved Glock 43 pistol.

Item#DAV-12402 has a detailed vine and scroll engraving on both sides of the slide. All engraving work was performed by Altamont Company.

In 2014, Altamont began its Metal Engraving division for firearms engraving and embellishment. Altamont focused on the deep relief engraving and textures typically absent from the gun industry, or only available by custom engraving masters. Using a combination of a modern approach and old-world craftsmanship techniques, Altamont has produced unprecedented special editions and stunning designs.

“Designing and producing Exclusive firearms is one of the hallmarks of Davidson’s”, said Kane Cannedy, VP of Purchasing for Davidson’s. “It also gives us the opportunity to partner with truly iconic names in the industry, such as Altamont. Their work is unparalleled and we are excited to continue this partnership going forward.”

This exclusive Glock 43 will be allocated with first choice going to authorized Davidson’s Glock Master Dealers. Davidson’s Master Dealer programs offer many benefits to its nationwide FFL dealer network including priority allocations. Dealers interested in becoming a Master Dealer with Davidson’s can speak with their Account Executive to learn more about these programs.

The engraved Glock 43, Item# DAV-12402, has an MSRP of $719.99.

Carry a Sub-Compact Pistol Without Sacrificing Tactical Optics

Carry a Sub-Compact Pistol Without Sacrificing Tactical Optics

From Holosun

The most popular pistol models sold today are sub-compact, “pocket pistol” designs, leaving little room for accessories and tactical sights. Additionally, a streamlined concealed carry approach holsters the pistol safely out of sight, while still enabling the armed citizen to draw quickly if needed. The lack of an electronic sight that is small, rugged, reliable and reasonably priced has meant that red dots are not often a consideration for concealed carry permit holders… until now.

Holosun’s new HS407K and HS507K micro sights solve these problems while allowing concealed carry pistol owners to couple their firearm with a highly effective sighting solution. While these units are compact, each offers a serious suite of features that rivals any full-sized sight on the market.

The HS407K and HS507K offer the same incredible 50,000 hours of battery life capability found on larger Holosun sights. Both units also feature our Shake Awake™ technology. This auto on/auto-off feature allows the optic to remain ready when you need it and conserve battery life when you don’t.

The HS407K uses a simple and accurate 6 MOA dot reticle. The HS507K uses our Multi-Reticle System (M.R.S.™) allowing flexibility to choose from a 2 MOA dot only, a 32 MOA ring only, or the combination of both! Since all 3 reticle options are projected from the same LED, no re-zeroing is needed when cycling between choices. This gives the optic great adaptability for various conditions and preferences. 

Holosun is pushing the limits of open-reflex sights through durable construction practices and advanced sight technology. The HS407K and HS507K micro sights are ideal for concealed carry pistols but also serve shooters desiring a lightweight, compact option for everyday needs.

Specs:

  • HS407K (6MOA Dot), HS507K (2MOA Dot and 32MOA Ring M.R.S.™)
  • Up to 50,000 Hours Battery Life (Setting 6)
  • IP67 Waterproof Rated
  • 12 Brightness Setting: 10 DL & 2 NV Compatible

ASP Introduces Tactical Response Kit

ASP Introduces Tactical Response Kit

From ASP

Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP), a leading manufacturer of law enforcement products, has introduced the Tactical Response Kit—a prepackaged solution containing a supply of disposable restraints, a retractable baton, carrying cases and related accessories. The kit is designed as a portable and cost-effective way for every officer and vehicle to be prepared for crowd control and riot situations.

The Tactical Response Kit includes six ASP Tri-Fold disposable restraints, which are not only essential for mass arrest scenarios, but also important in minimizing transmission of surface-borne pathogens. The Tri-Folds in the kit are fully assembled and ready for instant deployment: two are pre-loaded into the included carrying case, and the remaining four are pre-assembled, secured with storage bands, and clipped to the included carabiner. A Scarab safety cutter is also provided; this compact tool removes the restraints quickly and precisely, without the risk of an exposed blade. The Scarab stores in its own pocket on the side of the restraint case.

The kit also includes a Talon Infinity 60cm retractable baton. ASP’s latest and most advanced baton, the Talon Infinity extends from its compact, 10-inch stowed length to a full 24 inches, making it suitable for riot and crowd control use. Its pushbutton release allows the Talon to be retracted quickly and smoothly, directly into the included Envoy Scabbard. Also supplied with the baton is a pre-installed Grip Cap, which improves retention and leverage.

The entire, twelve-piece system—available with either black or yellow Tri-Fold Restraints—comes in a durable, slim-profile storage and transport bag that takes up minimal space in a patrol car. The total retail value of the components is $360, but it is offered at a bundled MSRP of just $249, to make it budget-friendly for agencies to deploy.

Meprolight Programmable MEPRO Foresight App

Meprolight Programmable MEPRO Foresight App

From Meprolight

Meprolight’s design engineers, responding to input from MEPRO Foresight owners, created an app that allows you to select specific data to be visible. Some owners liked having all features on full display— internal compass, level/cant indicator, and battery strength monitor—while others only wanted the reticle visible unless the shot required access to more data. The digitally advanced optic is the first augmented reality red dot sight, providing critical real-time data to the user’s FOV that allows you to customize the visual data. The reticle and data are projected onto the MEPRO Foresight’s glass much like the heads up display a fighter pilot sees when he zeroes in on a target. Simply stated, personalize the projected data to fit your needs. The integrated light sensor automatically determines reticle and data brightness.

The state-of-the-art MEPRO Foresight includes the Meprolight App which is unique in that its app-based-smart-phone Bluetooth connectivity allows the shooter to select and store five reticles from a large database of reticles. Scroll through the menu and select the reticle that fits your need. Reticle options include 1 MOA dot and 1 MOA dot with circle. In addition to five reticles, the Meprolight App allows you to store the ballistic data from 10 different weapons—rifles or shotguns—and load it to the sight as needed. The built-in Picatinny rail attachment allows you to move the optic from one gun to another. More importantly, it gives you confidence knowing you have already zeroed that weapon and stored the ballistic data, which is vital, when changing between guns, calibers, using sub-sonic ammo or a suppressed gun .

The Foresight, first of its kind, provides greater technical advantages by allowing the user to utilize the Meprolight App that is included as well as free access to download and test the Double Shot™ —Automatic Digital Zeroing —App allowing the shooter to zero the weapon without touching the optic, solving the concern of experienced shooters and new shooters uncertain of zeroing their gun. The user starts by shooting a multi-shot group and uploading a photo of the grouping to the app. The system analyzes your mean point of impact and zeroes the weapon automatically.

More and more companies are going wireless on their weaponlight and scope solutions, too. Here’s my look at the trend.

Real time projected data—providing the shooter with critical ballistic data —as little or as much displayed to an image-sharp, wide viewing window, the MEPRO Foresight increases your shooting capabilities. Like your smart phone, it is powered by a rechargeable USB-C battery using a regular USB-C type connector (charging cable included).

Inforce Debuts New Series of Aluminum Pistol Lights

Inforce Debuts New Series of Aluminum Pistol Lights

From Inforce

Inforce is proud to introduce their new aluminum Weapon Integrated Lighting Device: Wild2. The company released the Wild2 on September 23, 2020, and began retailing Wild’s dual-battery full-size model on its website and through dealers.

The first of Inforce’s 2020 product releases, the Wild2 will be soon followed by Wild1, a single-battery model designed for compact handguns like the Glock 19. Both models will resonate with fans of the company’s traditional styling, although their hard-anodized 6061aluminum exteriors represent a marked departure from Inforce’s longstanding preference for glass-reinforced polymers. But taking their time to release this line of pistol lights comes with opportunities. Seizing one of them, Inforce has gone where others have yet to and made the Wild series’ battery door and activation switches out of aluminum.

Other key features of the Wild models include a specialized parabolic reflector, which shapes the 1000-lumen (500-lumen for Wild1) beam into a crisp hotspot while still affording adequate spill. Additionally, an activation method ideal for people with smaller hands. Inforce believes its Wild series will be of particular interest to the growing demographic of female handgun owners.

Inforce’s Vice President, Matthew Wolfe, had this to say about the now-available Wild2, and the forthcoming Wild1: “Our Wild series has been a long time in the making, and we’re very pleased with the result. In the series, Wild2 and Wild1 lights incorporate our corrective responses to various weaknesses of popular existing aluminum pistol lights. Accordingly, from aesthetic, structural, and performance standpoints, as well as regarding ease of activation by the full spectrum of conceivable users, we believe these are excellent products, and we’re excited to get them into our customers’ hands.”

More and more companies are going wireless on their weaponlight and scope solutions, too. Here’s my look at the trend.


Inforce is the leading brand of Emissive Energy Corp., an ISO 9001:2015-certified American manufacturer of optoelectronic systems that designs, engineers, and manufacturers weapon lights and weapon accessories, as well as OEM products for a variety of U.S. and international customers.

Beretta Launches New Waterfowl Clothing Collection

Beretta Launches New Waterfowl Clothing Collection

From Beretta

Beretta is excited to announce the launch of its brand-new waterfowl clothing collection. Born from an understanding of and created in collaboration with hunters who endure conditions where warmth and comfort are essential, this waterfowl collection features technical performance fabrics that are windproof, waterproof, abrasion-resistant, and breathable in order to fulfill the specific needs and demands of today’s waterfowler.

This new clothing line draws its inspiration from the unbeatable A400 Xtreme Plus series of semi-automatic hunting shotguns and, like its firearm counterpart, it has been designed to withstand even the harshest of weather conditions without compromising comfort and performance. Uniting our proprietary BCMS (Beretta Clothing Modular System) with Gore-Tex® and Polartec® fabrics designed to provide enhanced protection from the elements, improve thermal regulation, and support an increased range of motion, Beretta delivers a full collection that includes insulating jackets, sweaters, vests, and bibs as well as accessory items such as hats, neck gaiters, and gloves.

Beretta has partnered with Veil™ Camo to bring this new Xtreme Waterfowl Gear collection to life using an advanced concealment camouflage pattern, Veil™ Avayde, that provides superior concealment in reed and marsh environments. Veil™ Camo seeks to break the pattern of traditional camouflage design and push the industry forward by delivering cutting-edge, scientifically engineered camo patterns that redefine what is possible for concealment. Through their intensive research on human and animal vision and perception as well as a foundation built upon mathematical and color theories, Veil™ Camo infuses their proven concealment principles into every pattern to create innovative patterns with engaging color palettes native to the environments for which they’re created.

“Our mission is to deliver the best in technical performance gear for our customers. When we decided 2 years ago to up the ante on our waterfowl clothing & accessories, the successful launch of our A400 Xtreme Plus shotgun served as our inspiration. I wanted clothing that would stand up to any downpour, with lasting stay-power in any blind, and keep you toasty all at the same time. We held key focus groups with customers in major flyways and dug in deep to find ways to improve what is currently out there for duck hunters. We built strong relationships with the best fabric manufacturers in the outdoor market to exceed expectations and I know everyone will enjoy our Xtreme Waterfowl Gear,” Patrick Mocorro, Digital P.A.C Sales Manager & Clothing – Accessories Business Leader, said.

With a utility welded tape for duck calls and multiple chest and front pockets for storage, the Beretta B-Xtreme GTX Jacket is waterproof, windproof, and exceedingly durable thanks to its Gore-Tex® 3L Tricot Laminate construction. Also, this jacket is very breathable with underarm ventilation zips that prevent overheating during strenuous activity but allow for heat retention when activity has stopped. To make this jacket even more durable, critical areas have been reinforced with a fabric containing 16% Kevlar®, a tightly spun fiber that is nearly impossible to separate. The cuff is made of Gore-Tex® Stretch material that is extremely elastic and waterproof, and all of the pockets are fleece lined for added comfort and sized to fit over our insulation layers.

Constructed with Gore-Tex® Infinium softshell fabric, the Beretta Highball Windpro® Sweater utilizes a grid fleece lining for added warmth and a Gore-Tex® Stretch fabric under the arm for greater mobility. With a high back collar to protect against back wind, this insulating sweater also features durable, abrasion-resistant inserts on the arms and a kangaroo lined fleece pouch.

The Beretta B-Xtreme GTX Bib is made of highly durable materials that feature abrasion-resistant, reinforced fabric containing 16% Kevlar® on the knees and seat. In particular, the knees are an ergonomic design with pleats that allow for enhanced freedom of movement. With various pockets for storage and an additional hand warmer pocket with comfort fabric inside, the B-Xtreme GTX Bib also features adjustable elastic suspenders and a security backtac as well as a waist adjuster to regulate fit, form, and performance.

For added protection from the elements during those cold and windy days in the blind, the Beretta Windpro® Neck Gaiter is 100% windproof and waterproof thanks to its Gore-Tex® Infinium softshell construction with a fleece lining and drawstring regulation for additional warmth.

Suitable for temperatures from 32-50 ?, the Beretta WaterShield Gloves feature a slim construction made of Polartec® Windpro® material with WRT – Water-Resistant Technology – and an anti-slip insert on the palm that allows for a comfortable trigger pull. These new hunting gloves also have a touch screen insert on the index finger and a neoprene cuff with an elastic insert on the wrist.

The entire waterfowl collection retails for an MSRP that ranges between $39-$579.
