AR-15 Double Trigger

Looking to spend a lot of money on an AR-15 trigger that will let you spend a lot of money on ammunition?  Check out the D-TR double trigger from Elftman Tactical.

The D-TR is a drop-in trigger system for the AR-15 platform that introduces a second trigger guard with a double-hump, really long trigger that can be pressed from both the standard trigger position and the newly added position.  This essentially lets a shooter slap the triggers in a one-two motion with the pointer and index fingers to throw a lot of rounds downrange in a manner consistent with paintball players.

Howard Leight Impact Sport Review

Howard Leight Impact Sport ear pro review
Iron Maiden or the Gun Dudes...you decide.

Howard Leight Impact Sport review

A few years ago, finding inexpensive, electronic ear muffs for hearing protection was impossible.  Electronic ear pro seemed to start at $200 and go up from there.  Fortunately, things have changed and they can be found from several manufacturers for less than $50.  In this Howard Leight Impact Sport review, I describe one such example.

Electronic hearing protection allow for the amplification of ambient sound.  When a loud sound is encountered, the amplification shuts down and the muffs reduce the sound like traditional, non-amplified muffs would.

MagHolder: Awesome Horizontal Carry Magazine Pouch

MagHolder magazine pouch

MagHolder magazine pouch

Innovation is alive and well in the United States small business world.  Case in point:  the MagHolder magazine pouch.

Made of injection-molded plastic, the one piece MagHolder carries a single spare magazine horizontally on a belt.  This presents a less noticeable bulge under a concealing garment as the magazine follows a natural visual line along the waist instead of breaking the natural line with a perpendicular angle.  Think of it as camouflage:  the eye is less likely to catch something when the angles flow with expectations.

SIG SB15 Brace

SIG SB15 review

The recently announced SIG SB15 brace is now a standard option on several of the company’s pistols.  The new pistols include the P516 with the 7.5″ and 10″ barrels, the SIG P556 SWAT with a 10″ barrel and the P556 Classic.

SIG SB15 review

The SB15 brace is a forearm brace that looks like a very short buttstock with adjustable straps that affix the unit to the shooter’s forearm.  The idea is to provide greater control and stability when shooting one of these large pistols.

The unit passed ATF scrutiny (see the ATF letter here) so no worries about violating any NFA rules on having a SBR (short barrel rifle) without a tax stamp.

SIG SB15 for sale

SIG Sauer announced the SB15 earlier this year, and these are the first pistols on which SIG is offering the device as a standard option.  The pistols are similar to the rifle versions of the gun, but without a buttstock and with shorter barrels.  Magazines and other accessories will interchange between the guns.

The MOE Fixed Carine Stock has many similar features of the popular MOE collapsible stock.  Unlike the previous MOE fixed stock option, the MOE Rifle Stock, the new Fixed Carbine Stock has an open frame that closely resembles the look of the collapsible stock version.  The open frame is a little longer and larger than the collapsible stock version, and there is a fixed spacer at the front of the stock.  That spacer is designed to envelope the bottom half of the castle nut.
