#SalientArmsInternational

Who ever said making an AR15 stock was easy?

When it comes to airsoft more and more consumers are looking for weapons that resemble their real firearms. Whether it is the functionality, realism, weight, balance or being the actual brand that they own. People are wanting to have available to them as close to the real thing as possible. If everything that I just stated applies to you, then you should truly be looking at none other than Evike Manufacturing Group (EMG).

Salient Arms International has been posting trick shot videos on their Facebook page for some time now. The videos mostly seem to be of one individual associated with the company, who is awfully good at engaging moving targets, very small ones at that! I personally think the most impressive one is where he shots a drop of water out of the air, as it drips down from a ledge, at around 10 meters.

Miles takes a look at the rise of highly customized Glock handguns and how it has become an interesting niche in the modern day firearms market. Two companies in particular stand out, Salient Arms International, and Agency Arms. Both companies customize the handguns sent to them, that they barely resemble the original Glocks they once were. We also have a standard Glock 22 that has been user customized in an effort to compare it to the Salient and Agency handguns.

Update:

Not long ago I reviewed the superb Arsenal Firearms Strike One pistol. While I really enjoyed it there were a few areas that I felt could be improved. When I went to the Prime booth I was surprised when I saw what appeared to be a modified Strike One hanging on the wall. After talking to Jim with Prime he informed me that Prime had teamed up with Arsenal Firearms and Salient Arms to improve on the Strike One. The pistol received a stipple job as well as a new slide profile and sights, a flat trigger as well as a trigger job, and a new twist on the name. After a few minutes of fondling it I came to the quick conclusion that Prime Mfg Group did an amazing job improving an already wonderful pistol.  

Surefire announced their XC1 at Shot Shot last year. Sometimes some of their offerings become vaproware. But not in this case. They are pushing their new weapon light and will be shipping them out in less than 30 days, according to their Facebook post.

Next Level Arms makes Ambi Charging handles for AR-15 and AR-10. I got my hands on an AR-15 version to check it out next to my Raptor.

In the past couple of months, Salient Arms International sold matched uppers and lowers. They were on sale for $350. I bought a set and in the past two weeks, built my version of the Salient Tier 1 AR-15. For those not familiar with the Tier 1, here is a review.

At Media Day at the Range, SAI showed off their new products for 2015. Specifically their AR 2.0 Jailbreak and their new pistol, from the ground up, SAI BLU.
