Trijicon have updated their mini red dot RMR sight. They claim the new model is tougher than any other mini red dot available.
When precision is the only option, your best option is the Trijicon RMR™ Sight. Built to provide optimum red-dot visibility against the target, you can acquire and hit your target quickly and more accurately.
The new Trijicon RMR™ (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) has been introduced to match the legendary toughness of the Trijicon ACOG® (Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight).
It can be teamed up with the ACOG® or AccuPoint® for the ultimate in fast target acquisition or precise aiming at extended distances.
The Lone Star Field Tactical VR555LE SPEC-REST is a easily transported and rapid deployment tripod or quad based shooting rest. It is designed to be used in the field in tactical situations but can also be used for hunting.The flexibility it offers is quite impressive. The system was on display at SHOT Show.
If you have ever wanted your own mounted gun, this rest gets you half way there
To really get the idea of what this system is capable watch the promotional video. A video about a shooting rest may sound boring but its actually very cool.
Taurus have updated the PT-22 (chambered in .22 LR) and the PT-25 (chambered in .25 ACP). They are now lightweight polymer and are much sleeker that the old steel version.
The old line has a wide range of models featuring every grip you could imagine. It is not known if they will update the old models or standardize on the the “classic” polymer-type models (two tone and black)
The new model weights in at 10.8 ounces and as you can see in the top photo feature a larger trigger guard.
In February S&W will launch two new M&P15 (AR-15) models. The M&P15 MOE (Magpul Original Equipment) features, as the name suggests, as many Magpul accessories as they could fit on the rifle.

Specs:
Model: M&P15 MOE Barrel Length: 16” Barrel Twist: 1 in 9” Front Sight: M4 – A2Post Rear Sight: Folding Magpul MBUS) Overall Length: 35 ”Extended / 32” Collapsed Stock: Magpul MOE Weight: 6.5 lbs. Finish: Hard Coat Black Anodized Other Features: Magpul MOE Grip, Magpul Handguard, Magpul PMAG
Two colors will be available: Black and Flat Dark Earth (what the cool kids call tan these days).
Overall I think this is a compelling package. Instead of buying and AR-15, only to spend more on Magpul accessories you can just get an M&P15 MOE.
Taurus has unveiled their new Taurus TCP pistol. This is another additional the increasingly wide range of .380 ACP sub-compact pistols. The TCP stands for “Taurus Compact Pistol”.
The pistol is DOA (Double Action only) and has a 6+1 capacity with a standard magazine and a 8+1 capacity with an extended magazine.
Three models will be available: an ultra light titanium side version weighting only 8.5 ounces, a blued steel slide model and a stainless model. Both steel models weigh 10.2 ounces.
The pistol features:
* Ambidextrous magazine release.
* Fish scale slide pattern.
* Large trigger guard.
* Low profile sights.
It is quite a sexy looking pistol. Most .380 ultra-compact carry pistol look “functional” at best … and I say this as a Glock fanboy!
GHG says it will retail for around $300 for the standard version and an extra $100 for the titanium slide.
Magpul have developed a low cost backup iron sight (BUIS) called the Magpul MBUS (Backup-Up Sights). They are designed for the AR-15 platform but will fit any firearm with a picatinny rail.
The front sight will sell for $39.95 and rear sight for $59.95.

Scott Pilkington, who owns Pilkington Competition Equip. LLC, has invented an AR-15 PCP air gun upper. The BF-17 is powered by CO2 with a gas is tank is inside the handguard.
Interestingly enough the upper is a real A2 upper that they then modify and fit the air gun parts.
We all know that one the best ways to practice in the off season is an air rifle and it certainly develops your skills, but there still numerous fine points of muscle memory and sight acquisition that cannot be the same as your Service Rifle, at least with traditional air rifles. But we decided that we could give you everything your want, the same as your target AR-15 has them already. The exact sight picture and EXACT trigger feel along with the exact feel of your buttstock weighted just the way you like it against your own cheek.
How can we do that? Half of the answer is already in your hands, your personal AR-15 lower receiver. The other half is the new BF-17 upper that houses an air rifle action made by Pilkguns. The BF-17 upper uses actual AR-15 components like an A2 upper, front sight mount, charging handle and handguards. It also has National Match ¼ minute rear sights matched to a top quality .177 Lothar Walther barrel to put your shots in the X ring where we know you have the talent to place them.
Why would you want this upper? Cheap practice with the exact same trigger pull as your 5.56mm upper. If you are used to the AR platform this would be a great competition air gun.
The cost is estimated to be between $800 and $1100. You can pre-order one for a $250 deposit. A semi-auto and A4 flattop upper version are in the works.
