Posted by: Richard | Comments (2)

Take a look at this video featuring the new Steyr AUG/A3 with a Trijicon TriPower optic.

The AUG/A3 is the civilian (read: semi-auto) version of the Steyr AUG combat rifle.  The AUG/A3 is a gas operated .223 Rem carbine with a 16″ barrel, yet, due to the bullpup design, it is only 28.25″ long overall.

Charter Arms Crimson Patriot

Posted by: Richard | Comments (1)

Charter Arms is offering a new revolver package: the Crimson Patriot.

The Crimson Patriot is a .327 Federal Magnum revolver from the Charter Arms Patriot line.  It has a 2.2″ barrel and ships from the factory with the Crimson Trace LG-325 Lasergrips.

The Crimson Patriot shares many of the features of the standard Patriot revolver.  The Crimson Patriot is a six-shot, exposed hammer revolver made of stainless steel that weighs 21 ounces unloaded.  It has fixed sights, using a ramp front and notch rear.  The big difference is the addition of the rubber overmold Lasergrips.

The suggested retail on the Charter Arms Crimson Patriot is $650.00.  Considering the standard Patriot retails for $469.00 and the Crimson Trace LG-325 Lasergrips retail at $299.00, the Crimson Patriot retail price represents a significant savings as compared to adding the grips yourself ($768 vs. $650).  Obviously, street prices vary.

laserlyte_naa-1LaserLyte®, in association with North American Arms, presents the smallest laser and handgun combination in the world. Simply attach the new LaserLyte NAA-1 laser on selected North American Arms .22LR or .22MAG revolvers to get this amazing combo. The miniaturized unit clamps to the top of the handgun and provides laser accuracy.

The LaserLyte NAA-1 laser sight adds true repeat shooting accuracy by providing a point of reference with a small red dot. This fully adjustable laser, once sighted-in, gives the user an extended shooting distance. The unique toggle activation switch can be adjusted to ensure a safe carry in the holster or pocket without accidental activation. An additional adjustment allows for quick activation while cocking the pistol.
