New Magpul P320 Grip Modules; Full Size & Compact – Coming Soon
Magpul Industries just announced their new Magpul P320 Grip modules for the popular SIG Sauer P320 pistols. This new aftermarket boost for the P320 will be available in full sized and compact versions, with two versions each; with a manual safety cutout, and one without. For new shooters unfamiliar with the SIG P320, unlike nearly every other pistol, its Fire Control Unit (FCU) is the serialized part, separate from the grip, which means the FCU can be swapped into different grips to meet user’s needs and desires.
Taylor's & Co. TC73: A Rare Lever-Action In 9mm Luger
It looks like 2024 is The Year Of The Lever Action, but we’ve seen a familiar theme so far: Just about all the new lever guns are in .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum or some other cartridge that you’d expect in a revolver, but not an autoloader pistol. Taylor’s & Co. aims to change that with their new TC73, chambered in 9mm Luger.
They Finally Did It: NEW Glock 17L Gen5 MOS
That’s right folks, Glock has finally graced us with a new G17L. And not just any Glock 17L, but a Glock 17L Gen5 MOS. This has always been a less common model in the Glock catalog, so it was a bit of a surprise to see it added. But it is a very interesting model, so let’s check it out.
New Heritage 92 Lever-Actions: Familiar Cowboy-Style Firepower

The furniture is from BLK Systems and the gun has a Quick-Change Barrel Upper Receiver (QCB-D). The lower is compatible with standard SR-25 magazines.

XS Sights: New Options For Rossi Lever-Actions
As manufacturers crank out lever-action rifles to the North American shooting market (see Hop’s thoughts on that here), eager buyers are discovering something: Old-school buckhorns aren’t exactly the easiest iron sights to master. Good news: XS Sights is here to help, and they’ve now turned their sights… errrr, they’ve just released updates for the Rossi R92 and R95 lever rifles.
SIG SAUER Releases New MCX-Regulator "Ranch Rifle"
SIG SAUER has expanded its popular MCX lineup to include more than a dozen variants of both the SPEAR and Rattler models. They can be had in a variety of configurations, finishes, and calibers, all equipped with standard pistol grips – until now. SIG recently announced their newest MCX model, dubbed the Regulator, which incorporates a Magpul Mossberg 500/590 style stock in place of the pistol grip we’ve come to expect. They’re marketing this variant as a ranch rifle, which is a role it could certainly fill, but arguably the greatest benefit offered by the MCX-Regulator is its potential for compatibility with ban state compliance. If your state frowns upon features such as pistol grips or threaded barrels, this rifle may be able to provide you with a legal AR alternative either straight out of the box or with a relatively simple modification like a pin-and-weld job, depending upon your particular residence. Check out the press release below for further details on this newest MCX.
New Intrepid Hearing Protection Line From WarBird Protection
Newly-founded WarBird Protection might be best known for its soft body armor, which launched earlier this year, but it makes protection for your eyes and ears, too. For 2024, WarBird just brought out its new Intrepid hearing protection lineup, with three sets of electronic earmuffs.
New Weatherby SORIX Semi-Auto Shotgun Line
Weatherby just took its shotgun line forward, announcing the SORIX line of semi-autos in 12 gauge and 20 gauge. The new shotguns are inertia-operated; watch the video below, and when the action is disassembled, the internals look similar to other inertia designs. However, the SORIX action has one big trick up its sleeve. It’s an ambidextrous design, sort of.
Rock River Arms BT-2 ATR: New Ambidextrous AR
Rock River Arms has heard the cries of all you lefties out there and has announced the BT-2 ATR. What’s that, all you right-handed shooters cry—you’re saying this is reverse discrimination? No, it isn’t, because the new Rock River Arms BT-2 ATR controls are ambidextrous.
Vectronix Shooting Solutions New Rangefinding Binoculars
One of the most interesting product launches at the recent IWA exhibition in Germany was Vectronix Shooting Solutions as a new business unit of Safran Vectronix, and their new VECTOR X rangefinding binoculars in 8×42, 10×42 and 12×42. I think that regardless if you use it for hunting, extreme long-range shooting or long-range shooting competitions its features are going to be appreciated, like MRAD reticles, D-Pad control, heads-up Applied Ballistics Elite calculations on an active-matrix OLED display and a laser that shoots longer than almost any caliber. There are also new RADICAL X binoculars with MRAD reticles.
Smith & Wesson Introduces New M&P15 Sport III Rifle
Smith & Wesson have announced the release of their new M&P 15 Sport III. The Sport III weighs 6.52 lbs, has a 16-inch barrel with a 1:8 twist rate and a 15-inch free-floated M-LOK handguard. The M&P 15 Sport III has an MSRP of $799.

NEW Beretta 92 Magwell And Magazine Base Plates From Volker Precision

These new additions join Volker Precision’s other Beretta 92 aftermarket parts, such as their Flat Faced Trigger, grip panels, and the Enhanced Slide Stop.
Mini-Magnum: New Bond Arms Stinger Fireball Derringer
Bond Arms may specialize in concealed-carry pistols, but they’re not exactly a company that goes for subtlety. With big-bore pistols like their Cyclops derringer chambered in .45-70 Government, .50 AE or . 44 Magnum, you might be forgiven for thinking the company’s slogan was something about going for the gusto. But to prove they’re more than just a purveyor of undersized hand cannons, we also get the new Stinger Fireball derringer, which should be a lot more manageable – maybe even fun to shoot.
Black Aces Tactical Announces Alpha-9 Pistol
Black Aces Tactical is expanding beyond the world of scatterguns! The Florida-based company has been selling tactical and hunting shotguns for years now, and it’s expanding its line with the new Alpha-9 pistol—a semi-auto that certainly has some familiar-looking traits.

T.Rex Arms Releases Ironside Hybrid IWB Holster
In a departure from their standard appendix and outside waistband holsters, T.REX Arms is now selling a hybrid holster for 4-o’clock carry. Unlike many other hybrid holsters, the Ironside Hybrid holster fully encloses the trigger guard inside the Kydex shell rather than against the backer material. This design avoids the risk found in other hybrid holsters where the backer material can flex into the trigger guard and cause an accidental discharge when holstering up.
Stealth – Innovative Textile Technology For Thermal Signature Management
Carrington Textiles, Lancashire (United Kingdom), will show their new textile technology for defense purposes at Enforce Tac, in just a few weeks. The new textile is designed for superior thermal signature management, to protect soldiers from thermal detection on the battlefield. The textile is called Circuitex Sigma, made by Noble Biomaterials, and is designed to mitigate thermal detection in military environments. I think the attached image speaks a thousand words.
Vortex Optics Adds New Defender-ST Red Dot Sight
There is a new micro red dot from Vortex Optics, the Defender-ST. It has a lot in common with the Defender-CCW, but has a DeltaPoint Pro footprint. This new model is not just for handgun use, but would be at home on a shotgun or as a 1x optic in conjunction with a variable scope. Let’s take a look a the features.
