Springfield Armory XD OSP Slide Kit — Red Dots for All

There was a time in the not-so-distant past when it was the exception, rather than the rule, to see people running handguns with red dot sights in classes. But time has passed, trends have changed, and their use has increased exponentially. Red dot sights are now practically standard, which means you have to find a way to mount one to guns that aren’t optics-ready. If you have an XD, Springfield Armory has a line of OSP Slide Kits made to convert your pistol into an optics-ready platform without a trip to the gunsmith.

Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory, Steve Kramer, had the following to say about the company’s slide kits:

With these new XD 4″ 9mm OSP Slide Kit and Slide Assembly conversion systems, Springfield Armory is providing owners of this rugged and proven pistol a means to update their handgun for the use of modern red dot optics. In addition, the XD OSP Slide Assembly option allows you to convert other full-size 9mm and .40-cal. variants of the XD into the 4”-barreled 9mm configuration with optics capabilities.

Springfield Armory describes the details of the slide kits:

First up is the XD OSP Slide Kit…a package that provides users with a complete OSP-cut, full-size XD slide assembly packaged with a recoil spring assembly, barrel and an optics mounting plate in the Springfield Micro footprint. This plate accepts optics like the Shield SMSc and allows for co-witnessing with the iron sights…. With this XD OSP Slide Kit, you can convert several XD variants to a full-size 4″ 9mm configuration featuring OSP capabilities. The kit converts the following:

  • XD 5″ 9mm to XD 4″ OSP 9mm
  • XD 4″.40 to XD 4″ OSP 9mm (with purchase of 9mm magazine)
  • XD 5″.40 to XD 4″ OSP 9mm (with purchase of 9mm magazine)

Also available is the XD OSP Slide Assembly…which includes an OSP-cut slide assembly for an XD 4″ 9mm pistol along with a Springfield Micro footprint optics-mounting plate. It is designed to convert an XD 4″ 9mm to an XD 4″ 9mm OSP, while utilizing the original pistol’s barrel and recoil spring system. With this assembly, you can easily swap out the slide on your 4″ 9mm pistol to gain OSP optics-mounting capabilities…. Also available is an XD OSP Slide Assembly packaged with a Crimson Trace CTS-1500 red dot optic and optic mounting plate…. Both XD OSP Slide Assembly offerings convert the following:

  • XD 4″ 9mm to XD 4″ OSP 9mm

Who doesn’t want an optics-ready slide? These kits and assemblies make it possible to make several XD variants far easier to add red dot sights to, which is a great idea for serious shooters. Why mess with mounting plates and milling when you can get a slide made for this specific purpose?

MSRP for the XD OSP Slide Kit is $396; MSRP for the XD OSP Slide Assembly starts at $270.

Ammo, Inc. Green Streak Rounds — Green Trajectories, Anyone?

Wouldn’t it be nice to see where the bullet travels when you fire your gun? If you’re thinking that’s only possible if you’re using the rather incendiary tracer round, you’d be wrong. Streak Ammunition from Ammo, Inc., is designed to let shooters see the path their bullets take without the flammable risk of tracers. It’s offered in green as well as red, with green being preferable for many shooters depending on their vision and daylight needs.

Ammo Inc’s Chairman & CEO Fred Wagenhals had the following to say about Green Streak:

Building upon the great success we have had with our Red Streak ammunition in the marketplace, our team has worked to expand our patent on the cutting-edge application process we utilize to apply the patented product to the round, resulting in the grant 18 months ago of additional patent protection. “At the same time, our engineering team has been working to develop this Green version of our O.W.L. Technology to offer the Streak rounds in that color variant because green is a top visibility color for the naked human eye. Based upon their hard work, we are excited to roll this color-enhanced product out to the commercial, military and law enforcement markets.

Features of Streak Ammunition

Exclusive Patented Technology

  • Unique patented STREAK technology features a luminescent dot on the rear of the bullet. When fired, the muzzle flash illuminates this dot, providing the user with a tracer-like glowing bullet path,

Nonincendiary Projectiles

  • Unlike traditional tracer ammunition, STREAK does not generate heat. This removes the fire risks associated with shooting tracer ammunition. STREAK ammunition is safe for indoor and outdoor shooting environments.

Safe for Range Use

  • Since STREAK technology is nonincendiary, shooting it indoors or outdoors provides no greater risk to the shooting range over shooting any other type of projectile.

Improve Your Accuracy

  • Get immediate feedback on your shot and make corrections. From a training tool to real world self-defense, STREAK technology can improve your accuracy.

Check out this video about the ammunition and how it can help:

 

Streak Ammunition is offered in a variety of calibers including:

  • 380 ACP
  • 38 Special
  • 45 Colt
  • 45 ACP
  • 44 Special
  • 44 Magnum
  • 9mm

MSRP for the ammunition varies by caliber.

Would you use this type of streaking, color-trailing ammunition for training? It certainly has pros to back its use, such as the fact it might make it easier to make adjustments as you shoot. Then there’s the fun factor, because who doesn’t want ammo that cuts a bright green path? For a long time, tracer rounds were the only option when it came to creating a visual path for bullets, but now there’s Streak Ammuntion.

MeproLight Hyper-Bright Sights for IWI Masada and Masada Slim

Aftermarket options for IWI Masada and Masada Slim owners just increased. Meprolight, the maker of the popular Mepro Hyper-Bright sights has expanded its line to include options for those two handguns. The sights are reportedly 30% brighter than other pistol sights on the market and come with an extremely bright contrasting color ring on the front sight.

MeproLights upgraded their sight offerings for owners of IWI Masada and Masada Slim 9mm pistols. The combination of the low-profile barrel, less perceived recoil of the pistol and the sights allow for faster target acquisition.

The tritium in the sight is specifically formulated to give the shooter the industry-first brilliance from broad daylight to midnight, according to MeproLights. The proprietary coating used on the front sight ring improves target acquisition during the day while the tritium illumination does the same at night and in low-light conditions.

Sight on weapon
The Mepro Hyper-Bright sight features an extremely bright daytime contrasting colored ring around the green tritium vial of the front sight. Available colors for the colored ring are green, yellow, or orange.

The rear sight which features a “U”-notch contains just the tritium vials and lacks any significant contrasting color or outline that you would otherwise find on styles of sights like MeproLights Tru-Dot family of night sights. The contrast in the presentation of the front and rear sight helps the shooter focus on the front sight quicker, which is critical in defensive and competitive shooting.

Meprolight recommends the end user upgrade the sights on the handgun with tritium enhanced day/night sights to increase their capabilities in any lighting condition. Bill Yerby V.P. Sales & Marketing, Meprolight added, “….selecting your sights is as important as selecting your firearm. Upgrading the sights on your EDC—Every Day Carry—gun, will increase your capabilities to put the shots you need on target, in any light, when you need them the most. Without a doubt, Meprolight Hyper-Bright sights will give you an edge.”

Hyper-Bright on other model
The Hyper-Bright sights are manufactured to be highly durable in all shooting conditions and can be used from broad daylight through the night, thanks to the tritium power. The Hyper-Bright sight is also available for other models of handguns like the pistol pictured above.

The IWI Masada and Masada Slim allow for aftermarket sight upgrades, like the Mepro Hyper-Bright sights. The low-profile barrels and perceived reduced recoil are a good match for the bright sights allowing the shooter to get on target and stay there easier.

Advantages of Mepro Hyper-Bright

  • An extremely bright contrasting colored front sight ring
  • No batteries, no switches—always ready for action
  • Fast target acquisition

Meprolight Hyper-Bright sights are available in three colors—Orange, Green, and Yellow. The contrasting color combinations of the sights help the shooter focus on the front sight quicker which is critical for self-defense or competitive shooting. The tritium luminance is guaranteed for 12 years.

IWI Masada Slim
Offering the Hyper-Bright for the IWI Masada and Masada Slim help enhance the Every Day Carry profile of the pistol and MeproLights state that the enhanced sights will give the shooter the edge they need when seconds matter most.

According to MeproLights, you can’t predict when everything will depend on your sight’s visibility, but you can count on Hyper-Bright. The MeproLights Hyper-Bright sights are available for around $110 a set for the IWI Masada and Masada Slim pistols. Other model-compatible sights are also available.

Ed Brown Magazines for M&P Shield — Top Tier Parts

When handguns have failures, specifically failures to feed, it’s never a bad idea to check out the magazine. In many cases, the magazine is the first point of failure, and fortunately, that makes it an easy remedy. Sure, there are factory magazines that ship with your gun, but there are aftermarket options as well. If you have a Smith and Wesson M&P Shield, Ed Brown manufactures high-quality magazines under their Performance Magazines line for your defensive handgun of choice.

Ed Brown’s Fueled line for the M&P Shield is extensive. Perfomance Magazines are available for the M&P Shield. (Photo credit: Ed Brown)

Ed Brown released the following details of their Smith and Wesson M&P 9 Shield magazines:

Our S&W Shield 9mm replacement magazines are formed from stainless steel and held to the same exacting standards you have come to expect from Ed Brown Performance Magazines. High polished tube for speed and smooth operation. 8 round magazines perfect for use on the range or for your extra magazines for concealed carry. Slightly extended magazine includes filler to perfectly blend with the pistol grip. This new replacement Shield magazine will meet or exceed factory magazine performance and carries a Lifetime Warranty on the tube and follower. Not compatible with the Shield Plus or Shield EZ.

John May, Sales and Marketing Director at Ed Brown, made a statement about the magazines:

As we continue to expand our parts and accessories, it is clear why Ed Brown has been the leader. We continue to use our knowledge and experience to serve our customer’s needs. If you have not checked out Ed Brown in a while, you had better look again.

Ed Brown Performance Magazine

These magazines have an eight-round capacity and are designed for smooth insertion and removal. The base is slightly extended and blends with the grip of the handgun, allowing a little more real estate during live fire and a larger surface to grasp during magazine changes. These are highly polished magazines made according to exacting standards and dedication to quality control. They’re made for superior performance and are a solid choice whether for spare magazines or to replace existing factory parts. The last thing you want is to be in the middle of a live fire session and have a factory magazine-related failure with no way to remedy it. Why not have a few Ed Brown Performance Magazines on hand?

Check out this YouTube video from Ed Brown about their Fueled line for the M&P:

 

It’s always a smart plan to have spare magazines (how many depends on you and what you’re doing with that specific gun). If you only have the factory magazine that shipped with your handgun, you might consider expanding your magazine collection. How many magazines do you have for your carry gun?

Black Collar Arms Adjustable Pistol Support

It is not a shoulder stock and it’s not a pistol brace—the Black Collar Arms APS (Adjustable Pistol Support), is a new design of support for the rear of an AR pistol. The first-of-its-kind APS option allows for vertical height adjustments adding to precision firing.

Black Collar Arms has given the market another option for support when it comes to AR Pistols. Its Adjustable Pistol Support is designed as a height-adjustable support for a precision pistol when shooting from a bench, ground, or other surfaces.

The Adjustable Pistol Support from Black Collar Arms supports the rear of a large format pistol when shooting from a bench, the ground, or any other solid surface. Additionally, the APS offers 3 inches of vertical travel for precise point of impact adjustment.

Manufactured from 6061 Aluminum and finished, the APS will only add 7 ounces to the overall weight of the AR pistol. On top of that, the slim profile of just 1.5 inches of the APS will not add extra bulk to the host weapon. The Adjustable Pistol Support has either a Type III Hard Anodized Black or FDE Cerakote finish over the anodizing to match the host weapon with other Cerakote options available upon request.

APS on rifle being shot
The APS from Black Collar is an adjustable rest made from 6061 Aluminum and finished in either Type III Hard Anodized Black or Cerakote FDE to match the host weapon. It gives the shooter approximately an additional three inches of vertical play for precise POI adjustments.

The Adjustable Pistol Support is in a newer category of rear accessories for AR-style pistols and is ideally suited to large, accurate pistols. The first APS model is a clamp-on design that fits any AR-15 style pistol buffer tube (any round tube 1.17 inch to 1.20 inch in diameter) or any adapter designed for a GHW Tailhook MOD 1 pistol brace. It will also accept any Atlas bipod-compatible foot, which is not included in the box from the factory.

APS Features

  • QD sling socket on one side of the clamp
  • Clamps to any round tube 1.17 inch to 1.20 inch in diameter
  • Accepts any Atlas bipod-compatible foot (not included) to match your shooting surface
  • Provides approximately 3 inches of height adjustment to fine-tune point of impact. Rotate the post to raise or lower it
  • For external use only

APS Stats

  • Weight: 7.1 ounces
  • Height: 6.21 inches (top-to-bottom in shortest config)
  • Post Diameter: 1.125 inches
  • Maximum Width: 1.5 inches
  • Material: 6061 aluminum
  • Finish: Type III Hardcoat Anodized Black or FDE Cerakote on top of the Hardcoat anodizing (other Cerakote colors/patterns available on request)
  • Made in Texas
  • Patent Pending!

The Black Collar Arms Pistol Support comes in at $149.95 for the Hard Anodized Black and $184.95 for the FDE Cerakote option.

APS on rifle
The first of its kind, the Adjustable Pistol Support has a clamp-on design for pistol buffer tubes or anything that accepts a GHW Tailhook MOD 1, fitting on round tubes in diameter from 1.17 inches to 1.20 inches. It will also accept any Atlas bipod-compatible foot, which is not included. The APS itself is just 1.5″ wide at the most and weighs around 7 ounces making it an easy add-on to the platform.

That’s where this Strike Industries Bolt Catch – specifically, their Enhanced AR10 Bolt Catch – comes in handy.
