The Grivory glass/nylon handle has a non-slip basket weave pattern surface that fits the hand comfortably, and is mounted to sturdy stainless steel liners. A stainless steel pocket clip allows easy access and storage, and also serves as a handy money clip.

At just 5.1 inches overall length and weighing a mere 1.9 ounces, the Swinky is perfect for backpacking, camping, and everyday carry. It will fit easily into a pants pocket or inside the glove box of your vehicle without taking up much space. MSRP is $24.95. For more information on the Swinky CLICK HERE.

Savage’s Rascal Minimalist Brings Style to Micro Rimfire

From Savage Arms

Savage Arms has taken the quintessential introductory rimfire in another bold direction. The new Rascal Minimalist mirrors the stylish lines and laminate stock of its bigger brother, Minimalist, yet retains the features and compact sizing that has made Rascal America’s favorite firearm for teaching kids marksmanship and safety skills.

“The laminate stock and bright color combinations of Rascal Minimalist make this a stylish rifle,” said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing for Savage. “And it demonstrates, again, Savage’s commitment to providing the very best tools to every shooter—even those who are just learning to shoot.”

Savage’s Rascal is built on the industry’s safest micro rimfire action. Like the rest of the Rascal family, Rascal Minimalist is a single-shot rifle that cocks by lifting the bolt.

The design builds superior shooting skills thanks to full-size rifle features, including Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger™ system and a threaded (1/2-28) barrel.

The power behind the new Diamondback® HD spotters is an HD optical system that delivers crisp resolution, brighter images, and edge-to-edge sharpness, reducing eye strain during long glassing sessions. All air-to-glass surfaces are fully multi-coated for increased light transmission and powerful low-light performance, giving you an edge when you need it most.

In addition to rethinking the Diamondback® HD’s internal components, Vortex® took a fresh approach to the spotter’s exterior, introducing a streamlined, snag-free profile. The helical focus wheel provides fast, fine adjustments, and an Arca-Swiss compatible foot means the Diamondback® HD mounts quickly to compatible tripod heads without additional plates. Plus, a neoprene cover comes included, keeping your spotter protected in the field.

Viridian Introduces World’s First Hand Stop Laser

Viridian Introduces World’s First Hand Stop Laser

From Viridian

After six decades, the AR-15 is still America’s rifle. The platform’s popularity stems from its speed and ergonomics. Now the venerable rifle design is poised to be even faster and easier to control thanks to Viridian Weapon Technologies’ HS1, the first and only hand stop with an integrated laser sighting device.

“The HS1 combines the functionality of an AR hand stop with the rapid target acquisition provided by a Viridian green laser,” said Brian Hedeen, President and CEO at Viridian. “The combination makes for a much more ergonomic rifle and cuts down on the attachments that add bulk to a gun’s foregrip.”

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

Viridian’s new hand stop offers increased control and faster target acquisition with a highly visible green laser that’s intuitively activated by the grip of the shooter’s support hand.

The HS1 uses M-Lok mounts to make installation easy. The laser is adjustable for windage and elevation. The HS1’s pressure pad activates the laser with a variety of support-hand grips, adding an added element of control and speeding up time to target.

This combination of speed and control makes the HS1 an ideal addition to any AR. MSRP for the Viridian HS1 is $179.

Features

  • M-Lok Mounts
  • Pressure Pad Activation
  • Daytime-visible Green Laser
  • Ergonomic Design for Pistols and Rifles
  • Single 1/3n battery
  • Adjustable for Windage and Elevation

New Master Sight Pusher by Real Avid

New Master Sight Pusher by Real Avid

From Real Avid

Real Avid, the Leader in DIY for Guns, expands their smart gunsmithing tools with the introduction of the new Master Sight Pusher. This innovative tool is designed to easily and safely remove and install press-fit pistol sights.

The Master Sight Pusher is a professional grade tool that makes quick work out of replacing or upgrading pistol sights. This modern gunsmithing tool is heavy-duty, built to last, and smartly designed to work with almost all modern pistol sights and slides. The oversized, ergonomic Easy Torque Handle™ partners with extra-fine-drive threads to provide maximum torque with minute adjustment capabilities for precise sight alignment.

A reversible universal press block features multiple contact surfaces for almost any size and style of press-fit dovetail slots and sight profiles. The slide cradle is adjustable, with non-marring contact surfaces to deliver a secure hold on both 1911 pistols and pistols with flat-bottom slides. The Master Sight Pusher also includes spring-loaded vertical adjustment knobs as well as a safe lock anti-torsion frame for optimal control.

“Upgrading pistol sights is one of the first things serious shooters will do to their handguns, and night sight upgrades are especially important to home and personal defense practitioners,” said Howard Tripp, Real Avid Chief Innovation Officer. “The problem many DIY enthusiasts face is conquering the interference-fit dovetail configuration found on most of the popular handguns. Lacking the proper removal and installation tools, the task is difficult, and that expensive gun or sight set can be easily damaged. Our new Master Sight Pusher eliminates this problem and is adaptable to work with most 1911 and striker-fired pistols on the market today.”

Another great feature of The Master Sight Pusher is the bench face attachment ridge, which allows for simple attachment to any work bench. The oversized and comfortable Easy Torque Handle makes turning a breeze and features an integrated 3/8 ratchet receiver to provide additional leverage for pushing stubborn or seized sights. A heavy-duty grip helps secure the tool while turning the oversized Easy Torque Handle.

“At Real Avid, our focus is to provide tooling and task solutions for the DIY gun enthusiast,” said Dave Steiner, Real Avid President. “Since pistol sights represent one of the most common and needful upgrades for shooters, and since most handgun enthusiasts own more than one make or style of pistol, it made sense for us to develop a universal-style sight pusher. The new Master Sight Pusher allows shooters to install their favorite sight without going to a gunsmith or purchasing a costly sight installer for each model handgun they use.”

The Real Avid Master Sight Pusher Specifications:

· Safe lock anti-torsion frame

· Bench vise attachment ridge

· Ergonomic control grip

· Easy Torque Handle with 3/8” rachet receiver

· Magnum rush rod and universal press block

· Four side clamp adjustment knobs

· Two spring-loaded vertical adjustment knobs

· Accommodates most makes and models of striker-fire and 1911 pistols

· MSRP: $149.99

Blackhawk Introduces TASER 7 Holster

From Blackhawk

Blackhawk, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, announces the new TASER 7 holster featuring a distinctive draw motion that helps keep officers from confusing their gear when under stress.

Other key features include Blackhawk’s new Quick Dual Release (QDR) holster platform, which allows officers to exchange the TASER and holster between shifts without having to remove other items from their duty belt. It is compatible with all Blackhawk duty platforms including belt loops, QD systems, MOLLE adapters and tactical thigh platforms.

The TASER 7 holster is currently offered in our matte black finish in both left and right-handed configurations. The Basketweave finish will become available in the coming months of 2020. Manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $54.95.
