INFORCE WML Weapon Light

By Richard on February 7, 2012 No Comments

INFORCE is making a weapon mounted flashlight that has a much sleeker look that many of the other options on the market.  The INFORCE WML design eliminates the need for tape switches and wires.

The INFORCE light has an attachment system for mounting on any 1913 rail system (no tools needed), and the batteries can be replaced while the light is mounted.  The activation switch is angled and has a safety lock-out lever to prevent accidental activation when you don’t want to be seen.

The light throws 125 lumens of light and is said to have a “tight beam.”  A peak candela measurement is not given. Light modes include momentary and constant, strobe and a low power setting.  Run time is rated at two hours on a single 123A battery.

Caracal SC SubCompact Pistol

By Richard on February 6, 2012 No Comments

While talking with the Caracal representatives at the 2012 SHOT Show, I was told that the new Caracal SC should start shipping toward the end of summer or in the early part of the fall.

Caracal SC

The Caracal SC is a subcompact 9mm pistol that is roughly analogous to the Glock 26 if one were to compare the Caracal F and C pistols to the Glock 17 and 19 handguns.

The Caracal rep was not able to give me exact specs, but expect the SC to hold about 10 rounds and be slightly smaller than the C.  Otherwise, it should share all of the other characteristics common to the company’s line of firearms.

Caracal “Quick Sights” Photo

By Richard on February 3, 2012 No Comments

Yesterday, I posted photos of the new Caracal pistols that were at the 2012 SHOT Show.  Ron from When the Balloon Goes Up! sent me a photo of the “quick sights” that Caracal is offering as an option on their pistols.

The “quick sights” look like they would be less accurate due to the short sight radius, yet I found them to be surprisingly fast.  For close in encounters typical of self defense shootings, these may be an advantage.

The rear sight in the Quick Sight System is moved forward of the ejection port, putting it in the same focal plane as the front sight. Photo courtesy of When the Balloon Goes Up!

Carry Gun Trends

By Richard on February 3, 2012 No Comments

Mark A. Keefe, the editor of the American Rifleman magazine, published a column on industry trends regarding concealed carry guns.  It is an interesting article that brings a lot of the new guns from the 2012 SHOT Show into one place, painting a broad picture of how the industry is addressing CCW pistols.

New Stag Arms 3G

By Aaron on February 2, 2012 No Comments

Stag Arms had their new 3G model displayed at the 2012 SHOT Show. Available since October of last year, Stag specifically designed the 3G to excel at 3-gun competitions that require a variety of long range and short range shots.

THE NEW MODEL 3

Last year Stag introduced the New Model 3, which upgraded the first Model 3 from a simple “optics ready” (top rail) carbine, to an optics ready and accessory ready carbine. Stag included a Diamondhead V-RS modular rail system handguard to accomplish that improvement, but what surprised many was that Stag did not increase the price of the carbine with the upgraded handguard (a $109 value). The new model 3 remained available for only $895. Those versions were gas-impingement rifles, but with the upgraded handguard and inexpensive price, the new Model 3 remains a popular option with AR shooters.

Caracal Pistol Photos

Caracal

The new Caracal pistols made a minor stir at the 2012 SHOT Show.  The guns felt good in the hand, and shot well at Media Day, but time will tell if they are as reliable as other polymer guns currently on the market.

Here are a few more photos of the guns from the Show:

Rock River LAR-47

By Aaron on February 1, 2012 5 Comments

Aaron got a close look at the Rock River LAR-47 at the 2012 SHOT Show.  Here are his thoughts on the rifle.

Rock River Arms (RRA) has become one of the hottest AR-15 rifle manufactures in the country. Brothers Mark and Chuck Larson founded the company in 1996, after spending about 15 years as armorers with Springfield Armory, Les Baer Custom, and Eagle Arms – where they worked on AR platforms.

The RRA LAR-15 rifles and 2-stage triggers have become synonymous with quality craftsmanship. It was that quality that led the DEA to award RRA a contract for patrol rifles back in 2003, beating out several of the “majors” rifles for the bid. That bid alone may have propelled RRA into the AR market spotlight at an early age when most weapon manufacturers are still trying to work out the bugs of their brand name. RRA has excelled at making excellent rifles, and the number of agencies and personal owners has increased accordingly.

Rock River LAR-47

Though they have experience building 1911 pistols, RRA has for years focused their attention solely on AR-15 rifle platforms.

That is until now!

At the 2012 SHOT SHOW Rock River Arms announced that in 2012 they will begin distribution of the RRA LAR-47 CAR A4 – a sweet combination of the AR-15 and AK-47 platforms that RRA calls “a match made in heaven”. I talked with RRA representative, Steve Mayer about this truly unique innovation in the rifle market.

Panthera Fighter Knife from Wilson Tactical

By Richard on February 1, 2012 1 Comments

From Wilson Tactical:

We are pleased to announce the availability of our latest Wilson Combat Custom Alliance from the peerless hand of David Broadwell, the new Panthera Fighter. Using some of the most unique materials and finest craftsmanship on earth, this “Big Cat” will be a unique addition to any collection of fine handmade knives.

Panthera Fighter Knife

The blade of the lightning-fast Panthera Fighter is hand ground and finished from ELMAX stainless, a Swedish powdered metal “super” steel with amazing toughness and wear resistance that also takes a flawless hand-satin finish. The contoured handle is likewise unique and is masterfully crafted from a block of rare and beautiful Hawaiian stabilized Koa wood. Koa is a tough wood and often exhibits chatoyancy, an optical condition when wood grain exhibits a shimmering three-dimensional character. Hand textured titanium pins add a high-tech, rugged accent.
