Diamondback just announced the company’s first full-size pistol, the DB FS Nine. Â The new handgun is a striker-fired gun with a polymer frame. Â This new gun will no doubt be compared to the striker-fired guns already on the market, but it does offer a few interesting features that caught my eye.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) perhaps stirs the emotions of the pro-gun and anti-gun proponents like no other organization. On of the latest NRA slogans is “Stand and Fightâ€, referring to fighting for American citizens’ 2nd Amendment rights. By far the NRA gets most of its publicity, both pro and against, from its media actions and lobbying for pro-gun legislation.
What you may not know is that the NRA does more than just fight for gun rights. Â In fact, the political actions of the NRA may be dwarfed when compared to the work done to train and educate Americans on safe gun handling, marksmanship, self defense and more.
HiViz is one of the companies that has made self-illuminating fiber optic weapon sights very popular among shooters. At this year’s SHOT Show HiViz announced new offerings in some of today’s most popular handguns. HiViz combined the durability of their overmolded sights with the versatility of their LitePipes. Each sight is made of steel, with ramped and serrated sight blade and square profile.
Advancements include a skeletonized sight body that provides the same or greater strength as the overmolded design. The second advancement is the machined internal LitePipe locking feature resulting in the highest level of reliability and longevity.
