Accessories

You will soon be able to replace your AR safety switch with an AK-style safety lever for your AR-pattern rifle.

This week I got a chance to take a quick look at two fantastic products from Bushnell. How am I already so excited in the pants for these products, when I have had them less than a week? Easy. These aren’t completely new. They are updated models of two products I have actually been running for years. Bushnell has really come up in the world with the Elite Tactical line, and they represent arguably the best buy in optics today.

At NRA 2017 we got a chance to check out the new Laserguard Pro for Glock pistols.

The 7.62mm suppressor is named the “Wave” in recognition of its cascading “wave” pattern baffle geometry. Also of note is the fact that the suppressor is 3D printed, which eliminates the need for welds that can introduce areas of potential weakness.

Just as some people like to work on their own cars, I like to work on my own guns because the process can be fun and rewarding. One project that I like to do from time to time is to refinish firearms to give them a better appearance and long-lasting protection. For most of my refinishing projects, DuraCoat has been my go-to brand for a number of years for many reasons.

The Alien Gear ShapeShift is the Odo of holsters. It gives you one holster that will allow you to carry your gun in almost any way you want or need with one holster. The concept is a completely modular system. You buy a single scabbard for your gun and you can attach it to multiple mountings. Best of all, NO TOOLS REQUIRED!

I am always on the lookout for handy gear to help me maintain my guns, so I decided to swing by the Otis Technology booth at SHOW Show 2017. Otis Technology is a family-owned and -operated company that has invested in research and development for serious-use customers.

I decided to make a Kydex cheek riser and install it on my rifle. I could have ordered one, but making it myself allowed me to customize it to my rifle. Plus, it’s way more fun.

The holy grail for precision shooting is being able to quickly gauge the distance to your target and take the shot. To that end, Bresser’s new rifle-mounted Equalizer laser rangefinder provides the accurate measurements you need without having to deal with an often-cumbersome separate piece of kit not on your gun.
