Midwest Industries Extended Sight System for the Marlin 1895

Lever-actions are regaining a foothold in the firearms world, and understandably so. These are versatile guns chambered in some heavy-hitting cartridges, making it no wonder they’re gaining a new following. In the interest of keeping up with the changing times and desire for aftermarket accessories, Midwest Industries has released a new Marlin 1895 Extended Sight System.

Troy Storch, Owner of Midwest Industries, had this to say about the company’s latest offering for lever guns: “We’re taking the classic lever-action rifle and making it tactical. It’s the best of old and new for Marlin owners. Shooters can bring the lever gun into the modern age with a sleek, sophisticated sight system.”

The Midwest Industries Marlin 1895 Extended Sight System gives shooters the best of both worlds by combining the company’s M-LOK handguard and ghost ring sights with a rigid, durable uppermost rail. Not only does this completely change the aesthetics of the Marlin, but it also gives functionality a significant boost. Everyone from target shooters to hunters to those using their levers for truck guns can benefit from the extra space giving them the ability to add their personal choices of aftermarket accessories. In addition, the Extended Sight System enhances the sight picture while allowing for quite a bit of adjustability.

One of the downsides of lever-actions is the lack of customization, but this new system from Midwest Industries makes it possible for gun owners to add whatever accessories they desire to their levers.

Midwest Industries says a version for the Marlin 1894 will be released in the near future, broadening optic and light options for lever-action shooters even more. MSRP for the 1895-compatible model is $324.95.

New: Arisaka Defense Stock Angle Adapter

Rifle shooters are constantly on the lookout for aftermarket items to enhance the shootability and their own accuracy with their gun of choice. With unique customization in mind, Arisaka Defense has created the Stock Angle Adapter to make rifles even more ergonomic and comfortable to shoot.

Praecore Performance’s Mike Olivella has been in since the ground floor on the creation of the Arisaka Defense Stock Angle Adapter. Olivella had the following to say about the adapter:

“The Stock Angle Adapter is the first installment in a series of precision rifle focused, ergonomic upgrades. The geometry of most popular carbine stocks support a variety of shooting techniques and work well within those requirements. However, if we take a look at any modern, precision focused bolt gun chassis, you will note that all of them feature a 90 degree angle for the recoil pad. This isn’t by accident. This geometry promotes greater contact surface area for one of the critical alignment components of a shooter’s position behind the rifle.

Arisaka took my requirements and went a step further by incorporating a simple and lightweight solution to the critical fitting components of recoil pad height and cant. Different optic mount and shooter requirements have shown in testing there is almost no wrong configuration, but I do have my favorites. The finishing touch that can’t be overlooked is how Arisaka made this accessory to not only work with a few common carbine stocks but also allowed it to accept a popular aftermarket recoil pad. For gas gun precision rifle shooters, this upgrade offers your rifle a lightweight, custom fit solution for your recoil pad with an extra bump up in surface area for your rear support.”

Features of the Stock Angle Adapter include:

  • Alters the angle of the recoil pad, shifting it perpendicular to the bore axis
  • Makes the recoil pad adjustable for both height and cant
  • Use of the adapter makes the stock compatible with the use of Magpul SL pads
  • Ships with either the MOE SL Enhanced Recoil Pad or the Magpul SL Limbsaver Recoil Pad (one of the two pads must be used with this model)
  • CTR Bag Rider (additional pieces increase cost)

The Arisaka Defense Stock Angle Adapter is designed to aid in the alignment and recoil management of semi-auto gas guns. This adapter was specifically made with models like the LMT MWS and KAC SR25 in mind. Being able to adjust both the height and cant means the shooter can customize fit more precisely to their own physiology. The end result makes the CTR stocks similar to a precision bolt gun stock. According to the manufacturer, an OEM CTR pad won’t work with the Stock Angle Adapter; rifle shooters must use our favorite, either the SL Limbsaver recoil pad or a Magpul SL recoil pad.

Base MSRP $59.00. Price increases when optional add-ons are included.

They are considered one of the top holster makers in the firearms industry.

Regarding their Uni-Tuk holster, DeSantis Gunhide had the following to say:

“The Uni-Tuk, #206, is the latest in our Pegasus Kydex by DeSantis line. This IWB holster features a precision-molded Kydex front married to a back component which is an all synthetic and a “breathable” platform. This allows airflow for a “keep cool” IWB carry. The Uni-Tuk features multiple points of tensioning for a customizable fit. It’s equipped with our proprietary Tuckable 360 C Clip, which can be adjusted for both height and cant with 360° of rotation.

New: Taurus TX22 Viridian E-Series Holster

One of the greatest challenges in selecting a holster comes when you try to find one made to fit your gun while it has a light or laser mounted to it. The good news is, if you have a Taurus TX22 with a Viridian E-Series laser, you can now get a holster to fit it from UM Tactical. The company’s latest holster maintains the quality and performance expected from their work and enables gun owners to include their Viridian E-Series laser on their carry guns (if it’s a Taurus TX22).

This is a versatile holster that can be used for more than one method of carry including OWB (On the Waistband), IWB (Inside the Waistband), and Appendix. It’s also being produced in both right and left-handed models which is a great feature for many shooters. Not only does this cater to the many left-handed shooters in the gun world, it makes it possible for shooters to train mirror with their Taurus TX22s (meaning, for example, a right-handed shooter would shoot left-handed).

Carry method can be adjusted by using the included IWB clip for concealed carry and replacing that clip with the Qualifier Strip for OWB carry. Appendix carry can be done with either attachment although it’s most commonly done concealed.

The latest holster from UM Tactical can be used for IWB carry.

From Viridian:

“UM Tactical’s Qualifier Holsters are handmade and constructed of 4332 Boltaron. Boltaron has a much wider temperature range before cracking under arctic cold or deforming under high heat, it also has an ultra-high impact resistance over Kydex. All our holsters are made in-house resulting in unmatched quality control. The user can easily and quickly convert from inside the waistband to outside simply by removing clip and installing the qualifier strap. The OWB Qualifier strap holds the holster tight to your body without sacrificing the manipulation of retention. Built for Taurus TX22 with Viridian E Series Laser.”

The new UM Tactical holster for Taurus TX22s with Viridian E-Series lasers can be used IWB, OWB, and Appendix.

For gun owners who carry their Taurus TX22 daily and wish to do so with a Viridian E-Series laser for improved accuracy and rapid target acquisition, the UM Tactical design is an enormous help.

In order to make this project work, and uphold the quality B&T is known for, we partnered with Jarvis Inc. who custom made a high-quality, match-grade, 10x1mm threaded barrel to our specific specifications. This barrel and suppressor combination matches the look, feel and reliability of FN America’s Five-seveN pistol, while extracting all the performance potential out of the gun and cartridge — all in a package that’s a whole lot quieter.”

This B&T USA thread-on suppressor is made for specific use with the FN Five-seveN Pistol. According to the manufacturer, they are the OEM suppressor manufacture FN prefers in Europe.

B&T’s suppressors have a reputation among many industry professionals for being high-quality and technologically advanced. They’re designed to be rugged enough to withstand rough environmental conditions and high rates of fire. Durability and longevity are vital for suppressors. When you’re choosing a suppressor for your handgun, quality matters, and B&T strives to design and manufacture products that stand the test of hard use.

The B&T threaded barrel is designed for use with the Five-seveN model suppressor. It’s manufactured using gun barrel certified chrome moly steel that’s been heat-treated to 40-44RC. The combination of the steel and heat treatment process is meant to give the barrel superior strength and durability. Having the barrel available as part of a suppressor kit means you don’t have to search for the right barrel to go with your new can; B&T USA did the work for you.

New: Sig Sauer P365-380 – The Mag Life

Sig Sauer’s P365 pistol line has proven itself not only popular but reliable. Building on its success, Sig has now launched the latest addition to that lineup: the P365-380. As the name suggests, the new pistol is chambered in 380 ACP and as one might expect, it’s a micro-compact designed with concealed carry in mind.

Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, Sig Sauer, Inc., shared his thoughts on the new gun: “The Sig Sauer P365 is the most popular concealed carry pistol on the market today.  We have shipped millions of these pistols and until now it has only been available in one caliber. The P365-380 uses the same grip module and fire control unit as the legacy P365 with a lightened slide, a 380 barrel, and a lighter recoil spring making it easier to rack for an overall exceptionally smooth handling experience.  This pistol was designed for everyone but is an ideal option for shooters with smaller hands, as well as those who find the manipulation and recoil management of larger caliber pistols challenging.”

The textured grip of the P365-380 ensures a positive grip even with sweaty hands.

Perhaps one of the greatest design features of the new pistol is its compatibility not only with existing P365 holsters and aftermarket items, but its modularity. Yes, the P365-380 has the same fire control unit and grip module as the original 9mm P365. Standard capacity is 10 rounds, but 12 magazines are also an option. Also, the 10-round magazine with finger extension might be a good option for those with larger hands.

To learn more about the Sig Sauer P365-380, take a look at the YouTube video the gun maker released:

 

 

The Sig P365-380 has an overall length of 5.8 inches, a width of 1.0 inches, and height of 4.2 inches. Its 3.1 inch, carbon steel barrel is designed for longevity and the stainless steel slide is optics-ready. It has an empty weight of 15.7 ounces.

Double Stack 1911? Four New Models from Cosaint Arms

1911s are admired and favored not only for their rich history but, often, for their multiple built-in safety features. The one thing the typical 1911 lacks is capacity, and that’s where Cosaint Arms comes in. The gunmaker has expanded their double-stack 1911 line to include Commander and Government models in various colors and calibers. The new guns are being sold under the COS21 line, which is an offshoot of their popular COS11 Single-Stack line of pistols.

The Cosaint Arms Commander is now available as a double-stack. (Photo credit: Cosaint Arms)

The Cosaint Arms COS21 line now includes Commander-sized 1911s chambered in 9mm, 45 ACP, and 10mm and Government-sized 1911s chambered in 9mm, 45 ACP, 40 Smith and Wesson, and 10mm. The range of caliber options gives gun owners the chance to go outside the classic 45 ACP chambering, should they so desire. In addition, because grip width is a frequent complaint when comparing traditional single-stacks to double-stacks, the manufacturer thinned the grips on their COS21s to more comfortably fit the shooter’s hands. According to the gunmaker, their double-stacks are made for comfort and ease of use even at higher round counts.

Features include a squared trigger guard, forward and rearward slide serrations, and a custom stippled grip. The guns also have flared magwells for smoother reloads. The magwell is removable if the shooter prefers a more streamlined look for concealed carry or personal preference.

The 3MOA Reflex Red Dot Is Now Ready (No Really)

They say good things come to those who wait. You’ll have to decide whether the SIG Sauer Romeo2 fits into the good portion of that aphorism, dear reader, but it definitely falls into the wait part. Regardless, the Romeo2 Reflex Sight, a 30mm red dot with “layer-able” protective shroud, has begun reaching consumers. 

No, really. I would lie to you but not about that. 

The SIG Romeo2 can be converted to a closed emitter arrangement with its modular shroud system.
From the shipping announcement: “SIG SAUER is proud to announce the long awaited ROMEO2 red dot optic is now shipping! The ROMEO2 has been designed and built for the most rugged and adverse conditions featuring a modular shroud system to provide multiple layers of protection. The ROMEO2 is available in a 3 MOA or 6 MOA red dot with 15 brightness settings to ensure rapid target engagement. The sight features a high-efficiency, point source LED emitter and molded aspheric glass lens, utilizing a high-performance red notch reflector coating for excellent brightness and light transmittance with zero distortion. The 7075 aluminum housing and ruggedized steel shrouds protect the ROMEO2 from extreme impacts and drops. The ROMEO2 maintains 25,000 hours of battery life, comes with MOTAC to automatically power the optic on and off, and is compatible with all SIG pistols with a PRO or R2 footprint.

 

SIG Sauer Rome2 RDS

Don’t wanna read? Watch the video. 

The Romeo2, which has been at least three years coming, is a true 1x magnification reflex sight with a 3MOA red dot reticle and 12 brightness settings. It ships with removable and interchangeable hoods so you can layer on whatever level of protection you prefer, even to the point of making it waterproof.

As is increasingly seen on quality pistol optics, the Romeo2 features a side-loading battery tray. This of course allows you to replace the battery without removing the optic and losing zero and.

Battery change Romeo2

Happily for those who aren’t interested in switching out rear sights, the Romeo2 has an integrated rear sight that sits at approximately the same level of SIG’s suppressor-height sights. This has the added advantage of allowing someone to mount the optic further back on the gun.
