Jagerwerks B.R.O.S.: SRO Protection – The Mag Life

Although red dot sights are usually designed to withstand bumps and scrapes, it’s entirely possible to damage one. That’s especially true of some designs that grant you a larger field of view but might have a housing more prone to breaking. The Jagerwerks B.R.O.S. (Battle Ready Optic Shield) is made to fix that problem by serving as a protective guard for the Trijicon SRO.

By adding the B.R.O.S. to your gear, you get peace of mind and the gift of putting your rifle to work without worrying about your SRO.

According to Jagerwerks, their B.R.O.S. is designed to increase the durability and resistance to impact damage of your optic in real life situations. (Photo credit: Jagerwerks)

Jagerwerks provides details regarding the optics shield:

100% Made in Michigan out of Tig welded grade 304 stainless steel then black nitride coated for years of worry-free service.

This product is designed to increase the durability and resistance to impact damage of your optic in real life situations.

According to Murphy’s law we will not warranty your optic against neglect or abuse.

Does not include mounting screws. We recommend using our RMR/SRO #6-32 7/16″ IP15

Weight is 1 oz or 28 grams. Metal thickness is 1mm or .040″.

There is a slight bend on the ejection (right) side of the shield. This is to deflect brass.

SRO is NOT included.

Unlike some products that simply snap over an optic, the Battle Ready Optic Shield from Jagerwerks is all-encompassing.

It’s designed so the Trijicon SRO sits inside it and the entire setup is then mounted to the rifle or pistol. This ensures you’re not getting only a sliver of protection, you’re getting the best possible coverage. Even better, Jagerwerks made the shield so having it in place doesn’t stop you from operating the SRO. Controls aren’t hindered by the use of the B.R.O.S.

The B.R.O.S. is made from durable material meant to extend the life of your Trijicon SRO and protect it from wear and tear. (Photo credit: Jagerwerks)

Just as the Trijicon SRO can be used on long guns or handguns, the B.R.O.S. is compatible with whatever platform you’ve chosen to mount your red dot on. It’s easy to install, with no gunsmith required. Simply remove the SRO from your gun, drop the red dot inside the B.R.O.S., and screw it in place. The B.R.O.S. does not automatically ship with screws, so if you need new screws, be sure to select that option when ordering.

With the Jagerwerks B.R.O.S. installed, your SRO gets more protection and you have greater freedom to run your gun without worrying as much about bumps and scrapes. (Photo credit: Jagerwerks)

For shooters running their pistols with Safariland holsters, Jagerwerks provides a connect to Ghost Men Designs.

MSRP for the Jagerwerks Battle Ready Optic Shield is set at $50.00 and goes up to $57.00 with the addition of mounting screws.

What do you think, would you install one of these to protect your SRO?

Safariland IWB Holsters: Optics-Ready Schema

Finding the right holster for your body shape and specific needs can be a challenge. Matters tend to be simplified by going to a trusted holster maker for gear, and that’s where Safariland comes in. If you’re in the market for an inside the waistband (IWB) holster, the Safariland Schema is an optics-ready model that just might be exactly what you need.

According to Safariland, the Schema is a minimalist IWB holster that offers concealability and minimal printing. A smooth draw and passive retention make Schema the perfect companion for everyday carry. (Photo credit: Safariland)

Safariland provides details of the IWB Schema:

Schema is an optics-ready minimalist holster designed for subcompact firearms. As the namesake implies, the skeletonized outline of the holster frame has a smaller footprint than traditional IWB offerings to optimize concealability. This new model offers superior functionality with a reinforced mouth, allowing for seamless firearm holstering while the holster is worn. The firearm-specific design creates an exacting fit, which is further secured by Schema’s passive trigger guard retention.

Safariland states the Schema is a firearm-specific design that pairs optic compatibility with a cantable and vertically adjustable belt clip to allow for comfort on any body type. (Photo credit: Safariland)

Eric Gasvoda, VP/GM of Duty Gear for Safariland, said:

Safariland is thoughtfully expanding on our concealment line to offer consumers unparalleled quality and innovation they’ve come to expect from the brand. Schema is the beginning of the revitalization of our EDC holster line, and I can’t wait to get it into the hands of our customers.

This holster is designed to give users the most minimalist, yet secure, IWB holster possible. It’s cut to be compatible with optics and created with a streamlined yet durable shape. Not only can the Schema be adjusted for cant but it can also be adjusted vertically so ride height can be customized to the specific user.

Practicing proper concealed carry starts not with the gun but with the holster. Your holster needs to provide retention and keep the gun hidden on your body in the exact spot you expect it to be. For an IWB holster, those features remain vital; for the Safariland Schema, it’s a given. This holster is made with the specific needs of concealed carriers in mind. Not only are its features user friendly but it’s made from durable material capable of standing up to daily wear.

The Safariland Schema is available for the following models:

  • SIG Sauer P365
  • SIG Sauer P365 XL
  • Taurus G2C
  • Taurus G3C
  • Glock 43
  • Glock 43X
  • Springfield Hellcat

The holster is compatible with the following optics:

  • Swampfox Sentinel
  • SIG Sauer Romeo Zero
  • Trijicon RMR CC
  • Shield RMS
  • Shield RMS C
  • Hex Wasp
  • Holosun 407K
  • J-Point
  • Crimson Trace 1550
  • Other optics with similar footprints

MSRP for the Schema starts at $39.99.

Ammo Test — 380 ACP Speer Gold Dot

Since 1995, Speer’s Gold Dot hollow-point ammunition has been a standard of measure in duty calibers such as 9×19, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP. In recent years, Speer has updated some of its duty loads to optimize performance in shorter-barreled concealed carry handguns. These Short Barrel loads are available in the same duty calibers. I had good luck with this line’s 135-grain 38 Special +P hollow point. But it seems Speer’s 380 ACP offering did not get the same facelift.

The Load

Speer’s 380 ACP 90 grain Gold Dot load has been around the block a time or two without any perceived improvement. Typical for premium defensive loads, this offering uses a corrosion-proof nickel-plated brass case and premium jacketed hollow point projectiles. Speer claims the Gold Dot has superior bonded properties between its lead core and copper jacketed through their Uni-Cor electrochemical process.

In a round as low velocity as 380 ACP, jacket and core retention is key to ensure enough mass stays together to carry through with enough penetration. But jacket separation tends to occur more often with higher velocity rounds like 9×19. On the other hand, Speer does advertise this 90-grain load at a healthy 1040 feet per second—albeit from a 3.5-inch barreled handgun.

Two complete 380 ACP Speer Gold Dot rounds positioned in front of a black factory box.

The Test

I ran forty rounds of the 90-grain Speer Gold Dot to do a general test for function, velocity, and ballistic performance. I began by running a box and a half through my Ruger LCP. Recoil was smarter than other loads but overall, the function was perfect. It is worth noting the Gold Dot projectile’s rounded profile may give an advantage in feeding from certain pistols compared to flat-nosed rounds.

From a distance of ten feet, I shot a string of fire through my Caldwell chronograph to get some velocity readings. My Ruger 380 LCP, a typical pocket pistol with a 2.75-inch barrel, turned in a five-shot average velocity of 968 feet per second. In my own testing, that is a bit faster than some 85-90 grain loads out there and it gave me some cause for optimism as I set up my 10% Clear Ballistics gelatin blocks fronted with four layers of denim.

Wound tracts from three Gold Dot projectiles intersected in two gelatin blocks on a wooden table.

I fired three rounds from ten feet away into my blocks. One projectile’s hollow point cavity was clogged with denim but managed to partially expand before settling at the 13.5-inch mark. The other two projectiles failed to expand, one coming to rest at the 15-inch and 17 3/4-inch mark respectively.

As I had done previously with my Federal Premium’s 380 ACP 99 grain HST test, I decided to remove the denim barrier and took an additional shot into bare gelatin. Without heavy clothing, the Gold Dot tumbled between the 4-8 inch mark like the other rounds but expanded to .458 inch, stopping at the eleven-inch mark.

Three 380 projectiles suspended in gelatin.
Three 380 projectiles suspended in gelatin.

Three unexpanded projectiles next to an expanded one on a table.

The Bottom Line

In this worst-case scenario, all tumbled readily, dumping much of their energy in the first eight inches of material. The denim barrier did stop expansion of the projectiles, but the Gold Dot load still had enough pasta to achieve good penetration without the excessive penetration and lack of damage one would expect from non-expanding full metal jacket loads. Like other 380 ACP loads out there, the current Speer Gold Dot load would achieve a good balance of penetration and expansion through light clothing when used in pocket pistols while less compact handguns might give just enough velocity to keep that balance through more obstacles.

When it comes to firearms, training is important. Whether it is competition shooting or doing drills for your own benefit, a shot timer offers some benefits. Training under the pressure of a timer helps to improve your skill and reaction time.

KST1000 shot timer
The KST1000 Shot timer is said to be the “best shot timer on the market,” according to competitive shooter Dough Koenig. The rugged unit has been drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G standards for durability.

The Kestrel KST1000 comes loaded with extra features that other shot timers don’t have including:

  • Five different nameable setting presets.
  • Two easy-to-use screens optimized to be viewed best from either your hip or your hand.
  • Compatibility with dry fire and suppressed shooting.
  • An extra loud buzzer.

KST1000 in hand
The KST1000 has dual large displays that can be viewed when the unit is on the waist or in hand. The unit has five different user-nameable settings presets along with adjustable volume, par times, loop settings, elapsed shooting times, and echo settings.

The KST1000 also has features for echo settings to help with training in different types of environments where the echo may trigger the detection of a second shot. the KST1000 makes use of two CR123 batteries and has a typical battery life of up to 90 hours of use. According to Kestrel, the KST1000 Shot Timer has full integration with the popular online competitive shooting app Practiscore and is compatible with dryfire and suppressed shooting environments.

KST1000 on waist
The Kestrel Ballistics KST1000  is Bluetooth-ready and is compatible with live-fire, dryfire, and suppressed shooting environments. The KST1000 has full integration with Practiscore, the online competitive shooting app.

Kestrel’s website is loaded with how-to videos to set up the unit’s special features like setting up par times, loop settings, and adjusting echo settings. The Kestrel Ballistics KST1000 is currently sold for a price of $299 making it one of the pricier shot timer models, which is reasonable considering they’ve added a bunch of new features, customization, and functionality to the concept.

The ammo maker goes on to say:

Self-defense is the best offense. Born from years of Aguila engineering and countless terminal ballistic tests, this defense and tactical round consistently hits dead center and cycles flawlessly.
