Vortex Optics, an industry giant in the optics field for the last few decades, has announced the latest addition to their large family, the Razor HD Gen III 6-36×56 FFP riflescope. Building on nearly 30 years of experience in the field, they wanted to create a balance between providing the tools and features that a shooter needs for long-range accuracy with the clutter-free, intuitive controls they need for decisive actions.
Vortex Optics announced the newest optic in their Razor line of long-range precision riflescopes, the Razor HD Gen III 6-36×56 riflescope.
The new Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36×56 FFP riflescope offers all the magnification you need to go long-range while staying “…crisp and incredibly clear” throughout the magnification range. The optical system is designed with the balance of magnification and field of view in order to provide the resolution and contrast you need to clearly identify targets.
Weighing in under 4 pounds, this new optic, they say, “packs a punch and then some”. The overall length is 15.3 in. and has an anodized stealth shadow finish. The Razor HD Gen III is an HD optical system that is also waterproof, fog proof, and shockproof.
The newest reticle for the Vortex Optics Razor HD Gen III riflescope is an edge-to-edge field with a 6-36 magnification viewing but still maintains an unimpeded field of view in the higher magnification.
This First Focal Plane, or FFP, reticle presents a clear sight picture while providing ample wind holds and ranging information. The FFP provides consistent subtensions at all magnification settings. The Razor HD Gen III EBR-7D reticle, offered in both MOA and MRAD options, also has cross plex illumination.
The L-Tec Zero Stop System with micro-adjust dial means, as they describe it, “…a rapid return to an ultra-fast, fine-tuned zero. Round it out with a rugged build designed for the field and you have the long-range tactical solution you’ve been waiting for.”
While both the Gen II and the Gen III are high-performance riflescopes, the newer Razor HD has the next generation of L-Tec Zero Stop giving quicker access to return to the zero stop with just one set screw, instead of multiple with the Gen II.
So, what’s different between Gen II and Gen III, you ask? Well, both optics are of excellent optical quality in the package that you get with exposed locking elevation and windage turrets along with the locking illumination dial and parallax adjustment knobs. But with Gen III, you get the higher magnification and an improved optical system and features.
The new features that the Razor HD Gen III has over the Gen II are the edge-to-edge view field and better low light performance. Additionally, the L-Tec Zero Stop feature is more advanced and easier to use – only one set screw on the Gen III. The parallax adjustment goes down to 10 yards whereas the Gen II only goes down to 32 yards. While Gen III is the next generation of the Razor optic and is bigger than the Gen II, it comes in 3.5 ounces lighter than the Gen II.
The First Focal Plane, or FFP, presents a clear sight picture while providing ample wind holds and ranging information.
Included in the box from the factory are a 3” sunshade, battery, custom throw lever, and turret tool, just to name a few things. MSRP for the MOA and the MRAD version is $3,999.99.
Ridgeline Defense, out of New Hampshire, has released their latest rifle sling, the HOGleash. This two-point adaptive sling has three key features designed with the precision rifleman in mind and is in collaboration with Edgar Sherman Designs with help from Cole-Tac.
Ridgeline Defense announced the newest gear to their line, the HOGleash rifle sling. This slimline was designed with the precision rifleman in mind.
With over a decade of trial and error, and apparently buying beer for riggers to stitch up mods to an OG VTAC sling, this sling has an integrated snap-shackle and a custom-made, carbon fiber inline rifle support. Additionally, everything was designed and produced in the state of New Hampshire, making it Berry Compliant. (For those that might not know, that means that the pieces and parts are all made in the US of US-made components.)
“When I was going through the USMC SOTG Urban Sniper Course, we were using our old issued cuff slings for the M40s,” says Ridgeline Defense’s Alex Hartmann. “We would attach the cuff to our belt, but it wouldn’t adjust very well. So, one weekend, I worked with a rigger to modify an OG Viking tactics V-Tac sling to work better. When I went back to class the next week, I was performing better.”
The HOGleash is Berry compliant, meaning that it is designed and produced in the United States by parts made here as well.
Over the course of multiple deployments, Hartmann kept tweaking the design until it was exactly what he wanted and needed. Part of the drive to make it was to use it while instructing at Ridgeline Shooting and illustrating to his students what he used and why it is important.
The quick-release snap shackle, which is similar to a Helo retention lanyard, allows the shooter to clip in or out of the sling quickly and with one-handed operation. When attached to the beltline, the shackle is used to apply tension to a supported rifle. To apply tension and stabilize your rifle either on a tripod or other support, attach the sling to the front of the rifle and attach it to any available belt loop on your beltline.
The sling attaches one-handed to the belt through a snap shackle to help stabilize the rifle in certain positions. The shackle also attaches to an accessory loop when not needed to keep it out of the way.
Ridgeline says that it is faster and easier for quick setup and breakdown when compared to a carabiner. In a shooting position that doesn’t need it, the snap shackle is captured by an accessory loop and stays out of the way.
The back of the sling is made of carbon fiber-composite material meaning it weighs very little and stays against the user until it is needed. The front of the sling is purposely left barren of hardware.
Available in four colors: black, coyote, green, and Multicam, this sling is a versatile addition to anyone’s gear set.
Once installed and adjusted correctly, it adapts to any shooting position and cinches down to secure the rifle in cases of fast-roping, climbing, rappelling, or other dynamic movements. The 1-inch nylon webbing features high-quality ITW Nexus findings and is compatible with any sling attachment hardware.
The Ridgeline HOGleash is available in black, green, coyote, and Multicam. It comes with a lifetime warranty and a price tag of $120.
Ridgeline Defense announced the newest gear to their line, the HOGleash rifle sling. This slimline was designed with the precision rifleman in mind.
The Holosun SCS is an interesting evolution of the red dot sight (RDS): SCS stands for Solar Charging Sight, and the name explains exactly what the auto-adjusting pistol optic is about (or most of it anyway).
Holosun Optics explains,
This product brings the next level of our Solar Failsafe system to the red dot user. Being an auto-adjusting only system, it uses multiple sensors to be able to accurately adjust the brightness level of the reticle to the correct setting, even when using flashlights! Furthermore, the system does not require the user to replace batteries. It uses the ambient light not only to power itself but maintains charge to an internal battery for when low-light situations arise. All this is uniquely fitted in an ultra-low system that is not only compatible with standard height BUIS but is uniquely shaped to direct fit to an existing manufacturer’s slide profile and still offer features you expect from Holosun such as M.R.S. (Multi-Reticle System) in a Grade 5 titanium housing.
A solar-powered (well, rechargeable) weapon optic? Maybe not the best choice for people in Utqiaġvik, Alaska (or for any troglobiont anywhere), but for the rest of us? If it works as intended this could be a very significant leap forward in RDS technology — and it might be what’s required to change the opinion of those who dislike an auto-adjusting optic.
Here’s what we’re thinking for specifications. Note: this is currently just speculation based on some information we’re seeing on commerce and info pages in other countries.
Holosun SCS-MOS
Reticle: 2 MOA dot – 32MOA Circle dot. Reticle Color: Red. Magnification: x1. Brightness adjustment: +/- button. Parallax: Without. Made of Grade 5 Titanium. Graduation: 1 click = 1 MOA. Operating temperature: -30°C to +60°C. IP67 certified red dot. Window dimensions: L: 20mm, W: 15mm, . Weight: 37g.
Steve Fisher of Sentinel Concepts says, “I was never a fan of the old crop of auto-adjusting RDS optics. This is by far the best one [auto-adjustment] yet.”
Here’s what Aaron Cowan has to say about the HS SCS.
(Note: this is just from a social post, we’ll update once he posts his full review.)
Holosun SCS / Sage Dynamics
Ultra low-profile mounting option that is a direct fit for the Glock MOS platform and any OEM footprint Holosun decides to make one for.
The Holosun SCS is a pistol-sized little red dot sight that is solar charged.
Because the overall height of the optic body is low, standard height sights can be used. The real game-changer here is that the SCS has an internal battery that is recharged anytime the solar cell gets light. Add that to the multiple light sensors as part of the auto-adjust only brightness, and you get the smartest auto-adjust optic on the market.
Using an HS-SCS in certain operational areas would lessen its usefulness (sorry Eben Oleson), but it certainly could be useful in other places.
Low light, no light, and smart enough to adjust for WML and rapid lighting condition changes. As far as battery life goes, I’ve had an SCS for a year without being able to “kill” the battery, sometimes going a week or more with the optic stored in a safe. Pull it out, it’s on, bright, and ready to carry. So yeah, it’s pretty neat. As for durability and “duty rated” you’ll have to wait for a video drop.
TLDR; it is. Aaron Cowan
We’ll provide additional information as we get it.
The Smith and Wesson CSX 9mm pistol is officially one of the most talked-about new guns of 2022, albeit slightly less so than the Shield EZ 30 Super Carry. Its design, as you’ll read, is more than a little different from other Smith and Wesson pistols. And for that matter, all other micro-compacts we’ve seen to date.
We first took note of the weapon after the Primer Peak Blog noticed a Reddit post about the new handgun and reported on it. This was prior to the official release of the weapon, which came some days later. The original photo of SW’s new concealed carry photo apparently came from someone working at an S&W retailer, who posted it to social media. Those posts were subsequently taken down, but not before discussion of the CSX was all over Reddit, forums, and other social media channels. Many such conversations referred to the weapon as a “hybrid”; not in the way that a Glock 19X is a hybrid, but rather that it looks to be an alloy of the Shield EZ and 1911 style frames.
We eventually received additional details of the CSX (which btw kinda looks like a Colt Mustang to me) mostly confirming the speculations of “gun people” on the internet, to wit, it is:
• Chambered in 9x19mm
• Hammer-fired (vs. striker-fired micros like the SIG P365, Hellcat, Shield Plus, Mako, GX4, et al)
• Single Action Only (SAO)
• Flat face trigger
• An all-metal aluminum alloy frame
“The new Smith & Wesson CSX pays homage to metal frame micro compacts of the past but brings the classic style to the 21st century.” Smith & Wesson
Perhaps more importantly — since I love old snubbies — we learned that CSX stands for Chief’s Special X. That won’t make it shoot any better or function any more reliably, and you might not think that’s important information, but this is my article and I think it’s cool so I’m listing it as an important feature.
• Named for the old Chief’s Special revolvers.
Here’s a video overview.
Smith & Wesson CSX
The following is part of the various CSX press and social media announcements.
Featuring Smith & Wesson’s classic design characteristics, the aluminum alloy frame has an optimized 18-degree grip angle. Likewise, the textured grip includes a textured front strap and a removable textured polymer back strap. As a result, every shooter can customize the level of concealment and ergonomic fit, dialing in the personal experience.
Promoting enhanced manipulation in adverse conditions, the slide features both forward and rear cocking serrations. In addition, a flared design accentuates the rear serrations, so you can grip it and rip it with ease. Running along the bottom of the slide are ambidextrous slide release and manual safeties for right- and left-handed shooters. Likewise, the CSX ships with two changeable magazine release buttons, for right- and left-hand configuration.
The CSX sends rounds downrange through the 3.1-inch barrel with a one-in-ten twist, via a flat-faced trigger. Moreover, the single-action-only flat-faced trigger provides a crisp, clean and consistent trigger pull.
Smith & Wesson CSX Pistol Specs
Caliber: 9mm Luger Capacity: 10+1, 12+1 Overall Length: 6.1 inches Front Sight: Metal White Dot Rear Sight: Metal White 2-Dot Action: Single Action Grip: Interchangeable Backstraps Barrel Material: Stainless Steel with Armornite Finish Slide Material: Stainless Steel with Armornite Finish Frame Material: Aluminum Alloy Slide Finish: Matte Black Frame Finish: Matte Black Barrel Length: 3.1 inches (7.9 cm) Overall Weight: 19.5 ounces Width: 1.12″ Height: 4.6″ Weight: 19.5 oz MSRP: $609.00
S&W says, “We are proud to finally introduce the SMITH & WESSON® CSX, the most innovative metal pistol we have ever built. The durable micro-compact, all-metal hammer-fired pistol has a staggering 9mm capacity of 10+1 or 12+1, crisp & light single-action trigger, and superior ergonomics.” Alas, there’s no rail or optics cut…at least not in this version.
S&W detailed the new handgun thusly in a blog post:
The first thing that might draw your eye is the single-action external hammer. This provides a crisp and consistent trigger press while the visual and physical control of the hammer offers additional confidence for concealed carry, especially while reholstering.
Below the hammer, you’ll find the ambidextrous safety. The innovative design incorporates external safeties pinned inside the grip and located under the hammer. These steel ambidextrous safeties hinge along the back of the grip for efficient access and positive engagement for different hand sizes and shooting grips.
Once your eye drifts down the back of the pistol past the hammer and safety, you’ll notice the interchangeable backstraps. The CSX pistol comes with two interchangeable backstraps to suit your ideal grip and concealment preferences. The standard backstrap fills the hand for comfort. The smaller backstrap offers not only a reduced size grip for owners with smaller hand sizes but also a lower profile for concealment.
This was the picture that let the Smith and Wesson CSX cat out of the proverbial bag.
The aluminum alloy frame also features a truly ambidextrous steel slide stop, accessible to both right and left-handed users. The low-profile ridge design allows for easy activation into the up position while tactile grooves along the top ridge make for efficient deactivation. For all of the left-handed shooters, the mag release is changeable. Offering options for both right and left-hand access, the CSX pistol ships with two, easy-to-change magazine release buttons. The textured design and slight rise of the aluminum button on the frame make it easy to depress while also helping to reduce the chance of an unintentional release.
We also carried over some of everyone’s favorite features from the newest Smith & Wesson products in our assortment. The CSX pistol offers a highly desired flat-faced trigger with a trigger safety extending across the face of the trigger for a consistent feel. The CSX pistol features appropriately placed serrations on both the front and rear portions of the slide. The serrations on the rear portion of the slide feature a flared design for easier manipulation.

The original post was appropriately entitled Look, it’s not another M&P! and was made by u/RAMRODtheMASTER late in the day on 12/30/21 in the r/guns subreddit. In the text accompanying that post — which as of our initial writing was the only information available — advised the following:
9mm, 10 and 12 round magazines, Single Action Only, Frame appears to be aluminum, Ambi safety and slide stop, Mag release appears to swap, 3 dot sights, M&P style backstraps
Trigger has a short travel but mildly stiff break. Trigger pull overall is not bad. The reset is atrocious though. False reset then real reset. Hope that wears out.
Haven’t shot it but it feels great in the hand as well as solid.
Initial speculation that it uses Shield Plus magazines from another Reddit user was answered with, “Different mags, I tried.”
We now know the CSX takes proprietary magazines in either 10- or 12-round capacity.
NOTE: This is a much larger caliber CSX. Unlike any other firearms anywhere, this CSX actually does possess that often cited term, “knockdown power”. Even more so than WWII era 1911s and anything an ANGLICO would have to deal with. (PC@sdw788359)
Some of our crew will no doubt put hands on the CSX at SHOT Show 2022. We can give you some more feedback then.
As you can see, the grip and backstrap are (not surprisingly) very M&P-esque. Alas, no rails. There will be many who decry the SAO trigger of the S&W CSX, but even the faintest hint of 1911ism will be a strong attraction to some.
JuileG, part of Team Smith & Wesson takes a quick specification overview of the new Smith & Wesson CSX 9mm pistol.
Julie Golob on the Smith & Wesson CSX
by Patti Miller
Smith & Wesson is well known for its large line pistols. They recently announced their newest pistol, the Smith & Wesson CSX pistol, chambered in 9mm. In the video below, Smith & Wesson team shooter Julie G talks through all the specs of the new pistol and why you will probably want one.
JulieG TV Youtube channel went through the new Smith & Wesson CSX pistol and she said she is stoked to share the information. She stressed that because she is a team shooter for Smith & Wesson, this is not a review but essentially an announcement for the pistol.
The new CSX pistol seems to fit the small niche hole between the full-sized Shield pistol and the Shield EZ. The CSX pistol is a nod to the old Chief Special pistol and is a micro-compact aluminum alloy frame pistol chambered in 9mm. The pistol is a striker-fired single-action pistol with lots of little touches that make it a versatile pistol.
The CSX pistol from Smith & Wesson, chambered in 9mm Luger, comes with a 3.1” barrel and the pistol is only 1.12” wide overall, including the controls. The main takeaway for the pistol has no grip safety but has ambidextrous safety. This ambi safety is smaller than the regular Shield but larger than the Shield EZ. Also present on the CSX is an ambidextrous low-profile steel slide stop that is accessible from both sides.
Continuing with her overview of the new Smith & Wesson CSX, Julie talked some more about the frame and grip. The CSX has a magazine release button on the left side of the frame, but they include the right-side button so left-handed shooters can swap it out to fit their needs.
The texture present on the button helps feel the button easy enough, but the button itself is not so big that you will accidentally hit it. Also, in the box from the factory is two interchangeable backstraps, one standard size and one a smaller size. The grip texture Julie says is nice for shooting and not too sharp on the hand. The texture also extends around on the front and back of the grip as well.
Present on the slide are front and rear slide serrations. Julie says they are good-sized, but not crazy. She goes on to say also present on the CSX is the rear slide flair, which is also present on the Shield EZ. She said it is a subtle detail that you can feel, but it doesn’t catch on to things. The slide doesn’t feel too tight, not Shield EZ easy, but is still nice.
Julie G, a part of the shooting team for Smith and Wesson, wants to make it very clear that this video is not a review but an announcement, i.e. a product reveal.
While the CSX is not optic-ready, it does have three-dot night sights. Also present on the slide is a loaded chamber indicator, which Julie loves, and serrations along the top to help reduce the glare to the shooter.
To round out the pistol announcement, Julie talked about the trigger. The trigger features a fully flat face, and the trigger safety extends across the full face giving it a smooth surface. The trigger feels crisp and consistent with not a lot of travel with the pull. Because of the presence of the internal firing pin block, she recommends that you practice maneuvering the thumb safety in your drills, so you are comfortable with the different feel.
The Smith and Wesson CSX pistol is a micro-compact 9mm pistol with a 3.1” long barrel and just over 1.12” overall width, including the controls.
Coming from the factory with two magazines, a 10-round and a 12-round magazine and sleeve, the Smith & Wesson CSX pistol is a versatile option for anyone looking for a micro-compact pistol. The MSRP for the CSX is $609.
With the cold air blowing and the holiday hangovers ebbing, it must be that second-most magical time of the year. Yes, that is right, January means the return of the ever-present itch to go to Vegas. No, it’s not for THAT; it’s for SHOT Show 2022! With last year’s SHOT Show as a virtual Show, plenty of folks are jonesing to get back in person and get their hands and eyes on the new products.
As folks start converging onto Las Vegas once again for SHOT Show 2022, there will be some that can’t make it, or can’t make it around to find all the newest and coolest products for this year. Fear not, we’re here to help you out. You get to hear and see the new and exciting gear coming out of the Show, all while not catching the SHOT Show plague, or something worse, by attending in person.
Even though this year’s SHOT Show still could be a little different since some larger companies have recently announced they won’t be there, surely there will still be enough new things and news coming out to make it work. NSSF, who puts on the SHOT Show, has been working hard to make sure that this in-person event will be just as good as Shows in the past, with a few modifications.
SHOT Show 2022 is sure to be different, no matter what. The Show floor space has expanded from what was just held in the Venetian Expo space to include space at the Caesar’s Palace with a shortcut between. NSSF is saying that this is the largest SHOT Show they have had with over 2,400 exhibitors and 800,000 net feet of Show space, there will be lots to try to keep up with.
As you scroll down you’ll find the newest gear that came out leading up to and coming out of SHOT Show 2022. But take note: this article will change pretty often with updates from companies around the industry so make sure you check back often for the latest knives, optics, holsters, ammunition, and accessories. Right below here you will find some quick links to get to the category you really want to see.

March Scopes 1-10×24 Shorty FFP Dual Reticle
According to the company, this 1-10x24mm Shorty FFP scope is the world’s lightest and shortest scope with 10 magnification ratio. The length is only 214mm (8.4inch) and the weight is only 505g(17.8oz). March’s dual reticle offers the merits of both FFP and SFP reticles. The tolerances required in the assembly of the dual reticle is extremely high that very few are able to do it, especially with a 10x zoom ratio. But the company assures that the assembly of this scope is meticulous. The dual reticle has the convenience of the FFP reticle scale which magnifies and reduces according to the magnification and the usability of the SFP reticle with the constant thickness of the line as the magnification changes. The daylight bright fiber dot illumination on the Second Focal plane can be used as a dot sight.

Holsters
Galco Hornet Belt Holster
The Hornet belt holster carries a compact handgun in both crossdraw and the increasingly-popular appendix position. It offers comfort, speed, and concealability with compact autos and small-frame revolvers. Constructed of premium steerhide, the Hornet uses a tunnel-style belt loop mated with a belt slot, resulting in excellent stability on the belt. A slight butt-rear cant facilitates an easy draw from either the crossdraw or appendix position, while the open-top makes drawing the handgun fast and simple. Available in black for over 45 different handguns, the Hornet fits belts up to 1 1/2″.
DeSantis Uni-Tuk IWB Holster
The Uni-Tuk, #206, is the latest in the 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 their proprietary Tuckable 360 C Clip, which can be adjusted for both height and cant with 360° of rotation. The built-in Spur which acts as a “claw”, is an integral part of the holster body, enhancing concealment.
CrossBreed Holsters Rogue Holster System
CrossBreed Holsters Rogue System front view with wing, firearm and magazine holstered. According to the company, the Rogue keeps comfort at the forefront without sacrificing options. Features include multiple clip options for desired carry style, height, and location (it can be worn strong side, appendix, or even cross-draw with the CrossBreed OWB loops), adjustable clip mounting locations, and a curved design that allows the holster to slightly wrap around your body, making it less noticeable.
Comp-Tac CT3 Level III Duty Holster
The CT3 is a Level 3 holster that uses friction, an ejection port lock, and a hood that must be released before the firearm can be drawn. The CT3 is designed with the intent that a master grip is achieved before fully withdrawing the weapon. This, according to the company, combined with the autolocking ejection port lock and the intuitive self-activated hood system makes this one of the fastest Level 3 holsters available on the market today. This holster is available for fits with lights and in fits without lights.
Galco IWB Holsters for S&W SCX Pistol
Galco introduced two IWB holsters for the new Smith & Wesson CSX pistol, both part of Galco’s Concealed Carry Lite line, and constructed of Premium Center Cut Steerhide. The ambidextrous Tuck-N-Go 2.0 has an open top and full firing grip accessibility, which combine for a fast and easy draw. It’s adjustable for cant and angle, from butt-forward to neutral to crossdraw. The Tuck-N-Go 2.0 is supplied with two types of tuckable clips. The first is the UniClip, designed to go over the belt, but which also works well without a belt. The second is the Ultimate Stealth clip with hook, which fits on the trouser waistband, under or behind a belt with just the clip showing. The Stow-N-Go’s open top provides a fast draw, while the reinforced mouth makes for a smooth return to the holster after the gun’s been drawn. The sturdy nylon belt clip attaches securely yet offers quick and easy on-off capability. Vertical orientation gives the option of strongside or appendix carry versatility to meet the needs of a broad range of gun carriers.
DeSantis Rifle Scabbard

Ammunition
Federal 30 Super Carry
The new 30 Super Carry cartridge provides the power of the 9mm Luger with comparable felt recoil. The .312-inch diameter projectile carries the same energy as 9mm Luger at the muzzle, with better ballistics than 380 Auto. In addition, it could be chambered in smaller, easier to conceal handguns, once gun manufacturers start to offer guns designed and built specifically for this cartridge. With a higher capacity and smaller frame size than the 9mm but with similar muzzle blast, recoil, and terminal performance, 30 Super Carry may offer a decided advantage.

Agilite AG Pouches
AG pouches solve this age-old problem and go from HALO jump-level retention to safety off, mag draw, mag re-index, and back without ever removing your dominant hand from your weapon. We don’t believe in ever taking both hands off your weapon in a firefight because we come from a place where time off-target and off-weapon when the bullets are flying can easily cost you your life. Sometimes you can’t spare that time to re-engage because snagging causes you to look down or remove your second hand from your weapon. AG pouches use a proprietary combination of purposely-built polymer pull tabs and several stiffened materials that work together to give you the retention level of closed-top pouches but the quick-draw, snag-free capability of open-topped pouches.

The 1911 is one of the most iconic gun designs in history. Full stop. It has always been known for its easy customization. This is apparent by how many custom parts, builds, and versions are available. In addition, it’s known for its consistent, smooth break and general reliability. However, every forum, Facebook group, or subreddit focused on guns has had the .45 ACP vs. 9mm argument, usually with the 1911 at the center. Everyone seems to believe that either the 1911 is a gift to humanity or a relic of the past. Maybe this will help push that argument a little more in 1911‘s favor. Introducing the new Springfield Armory Operator 1911 .45 ACP. Here’s what Springfield had to say about their sleek new 1911 Operator release.
“Featuring the duty-grade features serious shooters demand, the Operator 1911 builds on the century-plus of service behind the gun…”

Love your Maxim Defense rifles but wish you could have a larger caliber package? Well, Maxim Defense Industries is proud to announce the launch of their new direct impingement large frame MD:11 series, a rifle based on the SR-25 cut pattern.
Maxim Defense announced the newest line of rifles, an updated variant of the Stoner AR-10 design, the MD:11 Series rifles.
“The MD:11 is an updated variant of the original Stoner AR-10 design. The Direct impingement system still functions like most. There has been no serious change to the inside of the upper receiver; the gas tube forces all that gas into a key screwed atop the bolt carrier group. The gas expands inside the BCG, forcing it back into the buffer tube. There is no ‘chamber,’ but more of a diversion like the original design.”
The new Maxim Defense MD:11 series rifles have billeted upper and lower receivers and were initially designed to meet the SOCOM requirements.
The MD:11 will be available in 6.5 Creedmoor or .308 Winchester utilizing an 18 in. Proof Research carbon fiber or stainless-steel barrel. Using these barrels keeps the weight down to just 9lbs. This weapon was initially designed for United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) requirements. However, once the decision was made to commercialize the SOCOM requirement (within limits), 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester were deemed the best calibers.
The Maxim Defense MD:11 series rifles are chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor or .308 Winchester and utilize an 18″ Proof Research carbon fiber or stainless steel barrel, keeping the weight down to just 9 lbs.
It also comes standard with a carbine buffer system, B5 SOPMOD stock, and utilizes the Gisselle SSA-E trigger. Initially, they are available in three colors: Urban, Arid, and Black.

Patti Miller is one of the most awesome females in the tactical/firearm (or any) industry. Imagine a tall, hawt, dangerous Laura Ingalls Wilder type with cool hair and a suppressed blaster and you’ll be getting the idea. What’s interesting is that in addition to being a willing brawler and intrepid adventuress, she’s also an Ent/Ogier level gardener and a truly badass baker.
At some point or another, we’ve all had the need to use an armorers block with an AR rifle but didn’t have one. The good news is that XS Sights just announced the release of their new armorers block for use on AR platforms.
XS Sights recently announced the newest version of their Armorers Block made to accept most all AR-15/10 platforms currently on the market.
XS Sights is reportedly known for making some of the most innovative sights on the market and is designed to be the best on the market. Their new block is sure to match that mold. It is designed for use with the upper or lower receiver and will allow gunsmiths or at-home types to hold an AR-15, M4, AR-10, SR-25, or DPMS GII receiver in a bench-mounted vise to assemble, modify or maintain almost any platform on the market.
“Most armorers blocks will only fit one specific style AR rifle,” said Addison Monroe, Marketing Manager for XS Sights. “Our gen 2 block provides versatility, allowing the user to work on upper and lower receivers of almost any AR pattern rifle. It’s virtually a one-size-fits-all solution.”
The XS Sights Armorers Block comes with pins to lock in the receiver and a fitment screw for the AR-15 lower.
Made domestically from 6061 T6 aluminum, this versatile, durable and reliable XS Armorers Block comes with pins to lock in the receiver and a fitment screw for the AR-15 lower. To use this block with AR10 lowers, XS offers a 3D printed adapter plate for purchase or plans to print your own if you have a printer.
The XS Sights Armorers Block has an additional adapter plate so the block can be used with AR10 style platforms as well. The plate can either be purchased or the user can download the 3D printer plans from the XS Sights website.
The Armors Block works with a DPMS patterned 308, DPMS GII, Armalite Rifle, and most all standard AR-15/10 pattern rifles. Base retail for the upgraded block is $83. As with all XS Sights products, there is a No Questions asked warranty and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
The Smith and Wesson CSX 9mm pistol will evidently be one of the new guns of 2022. A recent Reddit post caught and reported on by the Primer Peak blog contained a single photo of the new handgun. It was evidently a new product arriving at a local retailer and, given subsequent removal of social media posts (and a lack of comment from S&W) almost certainly a leak.
The new Smith and Wesson CSX 9mm pistol (or so we believe based on current information).
The post, appropriately entitled Look, it’s not another M&P! was made by u/RAMRODtheMASTER late in the day on 12/30/21 in the r/guns subreddit. In the text accompanying that post — which as of this writing is the only information available and so may not be completely accurate — advised the following:
9mm, 10 and 12 round magazines, Single Action Only, Frame appears to be aluminum, Ambi safety and slide stop, Mag release appears to swap, 3 dot sights, M&P style backstraps
Trigger has a short travel but mildly stiff break. Trigger pull overall is not bad. The reset is atrocious though. False reset then real reset. Hope that wears out.
Haven’t shot it but it feels great in the hand as well as solid.
If this and available imagery is accurate, the CSX will be a Single Action Only (SAO) pistol without RDS accommodation or rail for a light. That said, we have just the one picture so far. There may very well be other models of CSX that do provide for a red dot sight, WML, or another accessory.
Speculation that it uses Shield Plus magazines from another Reddit user was answered with, “Different mags, I tried.”
If that’s correct, then the CSX will probably use proprietary magazines.
This is a much larger caliber CSX. Unlike other firearms, this CSX does actually have knockdown power. Even more so than WWII era 1911s and anything an ANGLICO would have to deal with. (PC@sdw788359)
Smith & Wesson has yet to acknowledge the CSX (much less provide details) but it’s a pretty good bet they’ll do something at (or more likely before) SHOT Show 2022 now that it’s been leaked.
As you can see, the grip and backstrap are (not surprisingly) very M&P-esque. Alas, no rails. There will be many who decry the SAO trigger of the S&W CSX, but even the faintest hint of 1911ism will be a strong attraction to some.
