New Gun Releases

The 5.7x28mm cartridge was designed for optimized use through PDWs and handguns, and as a direct competitor with the 9mm. It’s a cartridge made to perform in dynamic situations and one often run suppressed, so it comes as no surprise Fiocchi offers Range Dynamics Subsonic in 5.7x28mm. This load is fantastic for training use whether your gun is suppressed or not. If you’re serious about self-defense training with your 5.7x28mm, this is a load worth a closer look.

According to Fiocchi, Range Dynamics Subsonic 5.7x28mm 62-grain FMJ is ideal for either high-volume suppressed shooting or simply training unsuppressed at the range. As full metal jacket rounds this ammunition is specifically meant for training purposes, and because it’s subsonic, it’s meant to reduce decibel levels, too. And if you’re shooting for fun at paper or steel targets, this ammunition is great for that as well.

If you’re using your 5.7x28mm for defensive purposes, whether home defense or self-defense out and about, you should spend time training. Honing your handgun and/or PDW skills is a must when you could end up relying on those skills to save your life or the life of a loved one. Utilizing ammunition like Fiocchi Range Dynamics Subsonic 5.7x28mm 62-grain FMJ for skill-related trigger time is a good idea because it both makes it more affordable and, if you have a suppressor, means it’s quieter. Protecting your hearing should always be a top priority.

For comparison’s sake, consider these subsonic 62-grain rounds alongside Fiocchi’s 35-grain and 40-grain defensive loads for the same cartridge. From their weight alone it’s clear this ammo was made to perform as expected in a subsonic capacity. And since it’s designed by Fiocchi, you know what to expect.

Features include:

• Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullets are meant for training applications and do not expand on impact.
• New brass cases, meaning they’re reloadable.
• Boxer primers.
• Clean-burning powders to reduce fouling during live fire.

MSRP for Fiocchi Range Dynamics Subsonic 5.7x28mm 62-grain FMJ is not known. However, it is available through dealers for $54.95 for a 50-round box.

Pistol caliber carbine fans have gotten quite the blow in the last few weeks, thanks to the ATF ruling regarding pistol braces. One of the many firearms affected by the ATF rule is the CMMG Banshee, one of the more popular options in the PCC realm. Not to take the abrupt change laying down, CMMG has pivoted and offered up Delayed Blowback Rifle Conversions kits in pistol carbine cartridges of .45, 9mm, and 5.7x28mm.

While the Banshee is still available to purchase with a pistol brace, it does require the necessary paperwork to acquire it. At the heart of the Banshee, is the short barrel rifle that gives the maximum portability and concealment in a small package. Constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum receivers, M-LOK free-floating handguards, and a myriad of Cerakote finishes, it isn’t hard to see why the Banshee is so popular.

But given the current state of the rulings, many current owners are looking to convert their PCC to a rifle, and out of the SBR range. Enter the Delayed Blowback Rifle conversion kits that take the Banshee from PCC to a rifle. The conversion kit does as advertised: it can take the 5.7x28mm, .45 ACP, or 9mm Banshee and make it a rifle, letting the owner skip all that paperwork.

The Delayed Blowback conversion kit includes a 16.1” barrel, barrel nut, CMMG 15” EML handguard along with a RipStock to round out the rifle. The barrel length along with the Ripstock are the key components that take the Banshee to the rifle length required by law, helping skip the registering process for an SBR and the months-long wait for that Form 1 paperwork to come back. As a side note the longer barrel fits with the Radial Blowback bolt carrier group, negating the need to swap out the BCG.

Available in six Cerakote colors, the Delayed Blowback Rifle Conversion kit matches colorwise to existing Banshee models and comes with the CMMG’s Lifetime Quality Guarantee. Cerakote color options include Armor Black, Charcoal Green, Coyote Tan, Midnight Bronze, Sniper Grey, or Titanium. The conversion kits are available in .45ACP, 9mm, and 5.7x28mm and each has an MSRP of $474.95.

Burris Optics, a leader in the manufacturing hunting optics, has taken its considerable knowledge and developed the Veracity PH 4-20x50mm scope, the latest in the Veracity family of scopes. The Veracity PH is reportedly packed with cutting-edge features perfect for varmint hunters.

The Veracity PH has the PEK system (Programable Elevation Knob) and built-in Heads-Up Display (HUD). The scope also features Bluetooth connectivity for uploading data to Burris’ mobile app, and premium optical clarity. These features make the Veracity PH optic the most precise hunting optic from Burris, according to the company.

Burris used its many years of research and development to give the shooter easy, efficient, and precise shot placement The PEK system, with the HUD, is the center of the Veracity PH optic, showing exact dialed distance, wind hold, rifle cant, and battery level. It is user-configurable and works hand in hand with the recently released BurrisConnet App. The app allows the user to set up custom ballistic profiles to track all the details for the shooter. Burris notes that Wifi or cell service is not needed to use the app, with the system only relying on Bluetooth between the scope and the app.

The Veracity PH has a 5x zoom system and high-performance glass for exceptional brightness and clarity from close-up to far away. The scope also has a Wind MOA FFP reticle with a front focal plane design, adding to the unit’s accuracy. Additionally, the unit has a side focus/parallax adjustment. So, the target image matches the reticle focal magnification, from 50 yards to infinity, eliminating parallax error on extended-range shots.

The Veracity PH has Progressively Thick Crosshairs (PTC) that are fine in the center and get progressively thicker the further away from the center. This allows the shooter ultra-fast target engagement in low light at close ranges.  The scope has a double internal spring-tension system that keeps the scope zeroed through shock, recoil, and vibrations. Not only that, but the scope body is a solid, one-piece design that will hold up against the heaviest recoiling caliber rifles. Additionally, the body of the scope is Nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging in cold or rainy conditions.

The Burris Optics Veracity PH 4-20x50mm scope is said to maximize every hunter’s potential for success in the field. It is covered by Burris’ Forever Warranty. The Veracity PH scope has an MSRP of $1,200 and is available now.

High Speed Gear has given its popular TACO line of pouches an upgrade with the Polymer HSGI TACO V2 line has a revamped design with fresh features and is available in rifle and pistol sizes.

The Polymer TACO V2 was made with guidance from military personnel and law enforcement officers, along with other end-users. Taking the company slogan of “Battle Proven Tactical Gear,” HSG overhauled and modernized the design. Part of the upgrade to the design is the updated shock-cord lacing system that allows for easier customization and even allows for stacking multiple magazines.

High Speed Gear takes great pride as well as great care in everything we bring to market, and we are very proud of the newest Polymer TACO V2 line up.”

The Polymer TACO V2 pouch has a flared opening with a waterproof, non-absorbent polymer for durability and ease of use. Its modular attachment points on the front and the back, allow other Polymer TACO pouches to be added as needed. The pouches mount to MOLLE or belts up to two inches wide with the HSGI Universal clips. Their universal mounting hole configuration works with most mounting hardware pieces.

The rifle TACO V2 features opposite interior magazine catch channels that enable smooth insertion of either left- or right-facing AR-style magazines. The Pistol model fits a large range of pistol magazines including most single or double-stack in addition to other things like flashlights, OC spray, or multitools.

The new pouches are available in Black, Coyote Brown, or OD Green. The Rifle model pouch has an MSRP of $40, while the Pistol model has an MSRP of $33. Both are available now.

Having the correct magazine for your needs is important. Some gun owners don’t realize just how vital that one small part is, but if the magazine fails in some way, you can end up in serious trouble. Whether that translates to a lost range day, a missed shot during a hunt, or worse, depends on the day. Thanks to the team at Duramag, there’s a magazine specifically designed for marksmen. If you shoot for precision from the bench, this Duramag SPEED mag is made with you in mind.

Duramag’s SPEED magazine is made for the AR-15 platform. SPEED mags are created as enhanced USGI magazines. As the manufacturer points out, they are battle-proven magazines that have stood the test of time and have been relied on by members of the military and law enforcement for years. The body of the magazines is 6061-T6 aluminum which is a precipitation-hardened alloy known for its strength and heat resistance. Magazines are hard-coat anodized for superior resistance to wear and are available in a variety of colors.

What makes the SPEED magazine ideal for marksmen is not only their reliability but their size. The 20-round capacity SPEED mags are the perfect length for shooting from the bench or any rest where a longer magazine will be in the way. And if you prefer having a larger mag on hand, the SPEED is also available in a 30-round capacity.

The SPEED magazine is offered in the following colors. Color availability may vary by capacity:

• Black with black follower
• Black with orange follower
• Gray with black follower
• Gray with orange follower
• Gray with gray follower
• Pink
• Red
• Blue
• Bronze
• OD Green
• Desert Gold

This magazine is a solid choice for shooters accustomed to the curved profile of the larger 30-round magazine. Because this smaller magazine retains the curved profile it’s easier to carry and more familiar for reloads. Duramag designed this magazine according to exacting specifications and states you can depend on them for consistent performance.

MSRP for the Duramag SPEED 20-round magazine is set at $18.20.

Vudoo Gun Works, a smaller family-owned firearms manufacturer, has expanded its offerings to include two more families of firearms: the Mobias and Morpheus platforms. The Vudoo Mobius is a 1911-style pistol while the Morpheus is a centerfire rifle based on the Remington 700.

Vudoo Mobius

According to Vudoo, to arrive at the Mobius design they literally turned the firearm inside out. Partnering with an aerospace company for the production of key pieces, the production of the Mobias 1911 takes a fraction of the time of traditional 1911, allowing for a lower price point. Typically, hand-fitting the pistols takes the longest time, but thanks to the tight tolerances from the manufacturing, proper assembly and function happen faster. According to the company, the advancements in the process lead to precise and reliable pistols with a smooth fit and finish. The Vudoo Mobius is available in different trim packages, but the pistol stays the same throughout.

The Mobius 1911 pistols feature an ambidextrous safety, flared magwell, and a fiber optic front sight. Most models are available in either .45ACP or 9mm, with a .22lr model coming soon. The Classic Stainless 1911 has a Novak LoMount adjustable rear sight with a plain black front blade. It also features Vudoo Rosewood Double Diamond grips, and two stainless steel magazines to go along with the all-stainless steel construction.

The Classic Black Mobius has a black nitride frame and slide with Vudoo G10 Dirty Olive Grips. The Classic Black also features the Novak LoMount adjustable rear sight with a plain black front sight and two stainless steel magazines. The Two Tone Mobias 1911 pistol blends the best from both the Classic models with a pleasing contrast. The Two Tone has Novak LoMount adjustable rear sight with a fiber optic front blade and Vudoo G10 Black Slant carbon fiber grips. All models of the Mobias 1911 pistol have an MSRP of $2,995.

Morpheus

Partnering with American Rifle Company to produce the Morpheus action, the rifle is reported to be ARC’s best action with all of Vudoo’s styling on the outside.

Building off the Remington 700 footprint receiver, the Morpheus has an integral recoil lug and an integral 20-MOA rail. The rifle also features a three-lug, 70-degree bolt with interchangeable floating bolt heads that can be used with rifles from .223 up to .338 Lapua.

The receiver of the Morpheus will work with AICS magazines, but it is optimized for AW magazines. The magazines will reportedly have a hard stop against the bottom of the receiver preventing any interference with the bolt. The Morpheus will also have a controlled-round-feed extractor and a patented pivoting bolt handle which are designed to easily pull stuck cartridges from the chamber. If you aren’t a fan of the pivoting bolt handle, it can be easily swapped out for a fixed handle that converts it to a conventional cam extraction for sensitive triggers.

The trigger hanger of the Morpheus is compatible with all Remington 700 triggers so customization is a breeze. The feed can also be switched from controlled-round to push-feed. Additionally, the entire bolt has a toolless disassembly making the rifle easy to use, maintain, and customize for the end user.

The Morpheus rifle is not on the market as of yet, but was debuted at SHOT Show 2023. It has a target release of May 2023. No word on pricing as of yet, but if the action stand-alone pricing is any indication ($899 from American Rifle Company), it won’t be on the cheap side. Vudoo is rumored to have other models in the works, but the Morpheus will initially be offered in 6 Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .308, and .223.
