Don’t you just love new developments and gadgets that you can attach to your rifle and riflescope? Here at TFB, you’ll find a constant flow of interesting (and sometimes perhaps not so interesting) products that you didn’t know you needed. For instance the Spuhr Ring Turret Guards from Gray Ops CNC, Ulfhednar’s DOPE,  MagnetoSpeed’s RifleKühl, Partanen’s Throw Levers, the German XMag Coupler or these Bubble Levers.

The SOTR was also designed to protect against Fentanyl. With the increasing risk of officers being exposed, the SOTR doubles up as protection from COVID threats and Fentanyl.

Rifle Dynamics has new limited edition Poppies of War Print AK Stock pouch on offer, with OTTE Gear artwork made by Andrew Bawidamann. This small piece of textile seems very unnecessary, yet if I had a Krink or similar AK, I would buy it ten times out of ten.

For all of you long-range shooting junkies, Halo Optics has just introduced two new laser rangefinders, the XLR1600 and XLR2000 extra long-range rangefinders.

The description for each of these rangefinders can be found below.

Keres Dynamics specializes in designing and manufacturing performance upgrades for the SIG Sauer P320/M17 line of handguns. They have previously released their PRO adjustable flat-faced trigger as well as an extended magazine release for the platform. They’ve just announced the addition of their new slim takedown lever which reduces the overall profile of the somewhat bulky takedown lever currently found on stock P320/M17 handguns. Their full press release announcing the product is below.

If you’re looking to hone in your accuracy for this year’s fall hunting season, you might want to look into this new offering from Grizzly Targets. Grizzly Targets is now offering what they call the Double Vital Hunting Target. The steel target is made of 3/8″ thick AR500 steel and provides shooters with two “vital” reactive target areas to shoot at.

If you’re looking to add a little bit of colorful fun to your next range trip you might consider the new colorful non-explosive reactive targets from Spüt Targets LLC. This Kickstarter funded company is producing targets that contain a powder-based visual indicator of where you hit the target. Some more information can be found in their full press release below.

Cloud Defensive LLC from Chandler, Indiana, has just released what they claim is the most powerful and most durable complete weapon light system on the market. The name of the product is REIN and it has a field serviceable lens, a field-serviceable tail cap and electrically-isolated dual-switching for redundancy and it has both momentary-on and constant-on functionality. There is also a Micro version of the product. If you like to swim, it is waterproof, classed to IPX8 (100 ft for 24 hours).

Owners of pistols like the Glock 48, SIG Sauer P365/P365XL, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ 9mm/.380 Auto and Springfield Hellcat now have more options as Blackhawk expands their concealment line of holsters. At the moment the availability is for right-hand configurations only, with a matte finish. The holsters have level 2 retention and auto-lock release.

In a market flooded with attachments and accessories for ARs, it’s hard to find pieces that make a difference. For years I was using Bravo Company’s KAG grip and overall it’s great value for the money. For $20, you get a fairly tough hand stop for your AR that can handle a fair amount of punishment without any issues. I was checking out a video online and saw an updated version of Dan Brokos’s hand stop and ultimately decided to order one. I’ve been using one for the last 3-4 months and figured it’s time to give it a proper shakedown. Let’s check out the LFT Brokos Brace Hand Stop from Dan Brokos of Lead Faucet Tactical.

Over the last 6 months, there has been an explosion in new gun owners and people who decided to start carrying a concealed firearm. As a result, the amount of variety and stock of handguns in gun stores are limited and down from where they were before the lockdown. With the increased numbers of new handgun owners around, there’s been an increase in weapon accessories as well. There are plenty of people asking what they should put on their carry guns and what the best accessories are for them. Let’s dive into different weapon accessories and what are the best options for your specific needs.

Thermal spotters have many uses, anything from hunting to finding missing persons. They can greatly improve your hunting efficiency, as you can scan a part of the forest or a section of a field and quickly detect what’s out there. In fact, they work both day and night.

Recently released from the American Tomahawk company, the Trench is the company’s own entry into the field of riot protection gear. The 25 ounce STN66 Nylon handled club was inspired by WWI trench clubs which were used during melee combat during night time trench raiding expeditions.

Those of you who like to LARP around like I do or perhaps just be prepared for the worst will be familiar with rapid deploying medical pouches. Imminent Threat Solutions has just released its new TraumaQuick Rapid Access system. The New system is supposed to be worn from almost any position or piece of field equipment and as an added bonus Imminent Threat Solutions is offering a limited-time introductory offer for their new TraumaQuick system.

Vendetta Precision is a small company out of Wisconsin. They sent me their Vendetta Precision Contoured Bed Rifle Chassis (VP-CBRC), an aluminum chassis for a Savage long action receiver. I am a Savage fan and use them in my builds almost exclusively. Giving me an excuse to rebuild a rifle is always welcome.

This week on Friday Night Lights we will take a closer look at Unity Tactical’s Hot Button. Unity Tactical is known for their night vision height FAST mounts. Their TAPS Sync is another light/laser button tape switch but is very different from the Hot Button. We will focus on the Hot Button and show you why it is one of the best options for a remote tape switch.

What with ammo prices the way they are, a topic that I’m sure is on everyone’s mind is how do you practice shooting without having to spend say, 50 cents per round for every round of 9mm that leaves your barrel? The standard answer has always been “dry fire”. Dry firing is great advice, but it doesn’t provide the level of feedback necessary to remain proficient. Nothing can replace actually shooting your guns, but you want to close that gap as far as possible, right? Enter the laser training cartridge. This nifty little gadget helps to fill some (but not all) of the gap between dry fire training and practical shooting.

Grey Man Tactical has been making great tactical gear accessories since 2012. Their ethos is to produce quality organizational accessories for stowing your gear in an efficient and logical manner using the traditional MOLLE grid. Today, Grey Man Tactical has just introduced its Plate Carrier & Helmet rack for stowing your protective gear while on the move.

TACTACAM is probably one of the most widely known names in the hunting/shooting filming scene and for good reason – they consistently deliver good products. TACTACAM has just released its new Spotter LR shooting camera that comes right out fo the box ready to pair with your spotting scope. The full description from TACTACAM’s website on the Spotter LR is below.

Savior Equipment makes some really nice rifle cases. I have one of their 42″ double rifle cases and it is my primary rifle case for transporting rifles to the range. However, I have been looking for mobile firearm storage and recently discovered that Savior makes two racks, the Shorty Rifle Rack and Mobile Firearm Rack.

There are dozens of AR magazine releases of all shapes and materials available on the market. However, if Strike Industries release their version of any, even the simplest firearm part, it is almost guaranteed that there is something innovative and extra cool about their offering. The new AR Modular Magazine Release is no exception. Its modularity is in the possibility to change the mag release buttons without disassembling the mag catch mechanism itself.

The Aimpoint ACRO (Advanced Combat Reflex Optic) is an enclosed red dot sight which is gaining in popularity. There are now several new ACRO mounts from Aimpoint allowing to fit it to your rifle and handgun. Below you can find pictures and information about the new mounts.

Social Commerce company GoWild has gained traction in the year 2020 in the way of increasing eCommerce engagement, active users, and overall revenue. This growth has piqued the interest of Otis Technology who is heavily invested in the firearms maintenance industry and since then Otis Technology and GoWild have partnered up to bring their brand available to more customers.

High Speed Gear, Inc. (HSGI) produces some of the most popular shooting-related accessories in the business. From belts to bags, holsters, chest rigs, plate carriers and more, if you’re looking for a piece of gun gear there’s a decent chance they make something you could use. The products for which High Speed Gear is best known, however, are their TACO pouches. These mag pouches are used by warfighters, competitive shooters, and plenty of others. Last year HSGI was contracted to supply the US military with more than 30,000 TACO pouches in conjunction with Heckler & Koch’s fulfillment of the Army’s SDMR (Squad Designated Marksman Rifle) contract.

If you’re shooting long distances a bubble level is strongly recommended. It will help you keep your shooting platform at a horizontal level reducing the margin of error. Most of the scope mounts from Spuhr have a bubble level built-in at the bottom, shown towards the shooter. Due to its location, it can be a little difficult to spot where the bubble is, so Spuhr has developed a new version called the A-0119.

On 19th September  Microtech Knives held a Grand Opening in their new facility in North Carolina. The opening was also broadcasted live on the Internet, and customers had the possibility to purchase products directly from the show. That was until everything crashed due to popular demand, and judging by the comments on social media it left quite a few disappointed.

The new TSM-13G is Nightstick’s latest entry into the ever-growing market of weapon-mounted handgun lights. TSM-13G is a subcompact light meant to be mounted to SIG Sauer handguns like the SIG P365, 365XL, and P365 SAS. In addition to being compact, the TSM-13G also features an integrated laser and only adds 1.3 ounces to the overall handgun weight.

Harry’s Holsters has released a new holster for the competition scene – the Contender. The new holster is purported to be one of the most durable competition holsters available now and perfectly suited for USPSA and IDPA style competitors with many styles of competition pistols.

Perhaps most known from the Discovery Channel “Twin Turbos” series Brad DeBerti from Mooresville NC has invented an AR-Foam Cannon that will make washing vehicles fun again. Basically, DeBerti mixed an AR15 with a Renegade Products foam cannon. The end result may make water illegal or at least only available to people in limited quantities, and not in “full auto”.

I don’t have any scientific data, but I would presume than 300 Blackout is one of the more popular rounds for reloading. I did jump on the 300 BLK train but don’t shoot it that much to justify my own reloading. As any reloader knows, most malfunctions are related to the ammunition. It could be deformed primers or brass, but as long as these can be kept out of the reach from your rifle’s chamber you’re fine. For the .223 Rem, I have a few of these stackable boxes, and they work really great. I also use Armanov’s ammo checker box for the .38 Super Comp.
