Armscor 22 TCM 9R – Glock Conversion Kit

Armscor 22 TCM 9R

Armscor gave the media a sneak peek at the new 22 TCM 9R: a conversion kit for the Glock 17/22 pistols. The new kit converts the pistols to fire the .22 TCM 9R cartridge.

The kits are still under development, but are far enough along for Armscor to allow writers to shoot a Glock equipped with one. [Ed. note: The kits have been released and appear to be running very reliably in Glock-pattern pistols. Scroll down for the updated information.]

[Be sure to read Richard Johnson’s Glock 17 review.]

Here’s the information I have so far…

New Mossberg Patriot Rifles

Mossberg Patriot rifle

Mossberg will introduce a new line of bolt-action rifles at the SHOT Show called the Patriot. The new Mossberg Patriot rifle line is possibly the most complete line of guns ever introduced at one time: more than 50 models are in the initial release.

And…there is a reason for the vast number of rifle options at the introduction. Mossberg will progressively eliminate both the ATR and 4×4 lines as the Patriot rifles are introduced.

The line-up includes guns with wood and synthetic stocks, short- and long-actions, youth editions and scoped packages.

Let’s take a look at what is being introduced…

CMMG 50 Caliber Muzzle Loading AR15 Upper

CMMG AR15 Muzzle Loader

CMMG AR15 Muzzle Loader

At the 2012 SHOT Show, Aaron brought us a video of a muzzle loading, black powder AR-15 upper from CMMG.  At that time, it was unknown if the company would actually bring this to market.  Well…they have.

The one and only AR upper that turns your modern rifle into a black powder gun is a reality.  It mounts to any mil-spec lower and is sure to get you some puzzled looks at hunting camp during black powder season.

Any normal 50 caliber projectile, including sabots, can be fired from this kit.  Up to 100 grains of pelletized powder can be used to propel said projectile.  To fire the gun, you insert the “Single Shot Sled” into the magazine well and chamber a primed, but otherwise empty, 5.56/.223 case into the chamber.  Pull the trigger and the primer ignites the black powder.  Boom.

Watch the video from the SHOT Show below to see how the gun is set up.

Stark SE-5 Express Grip – New AR15 Foregrip

Stark SE5 Foregrip review

Stark SE5 Foregrip review

Stark Equipment’s pistol grips have been praised by many, including the military and law enforcement, for their scientific approach to designing grips that fulfill the needs of the end-user.  This year Stark has introduced a new product, and some additions to already produced products.

THE NEW SE-5 EXPRESS GRIP

Stark announced the new SE-5 Express Grip at SHOT Show, and I had the chance to speak with DJ Webber at their booth.

The SE-5 will be a fore grip for AR-platform rifles that is designed for shooters who grip the rail or hand guard at the same time as the grip when shooting.  The SE-5 is unlike other grips that hang straight down that predominately require the shooter to place their hand completely on the grip, or perhaps wrap their thumb onto the hand guard.  There have been several tactical trainers that have advocated this grip stance as a better way to control recoil and maintain accuracy even in rapid fire situations.

Browning BuckMark Camper UFX review

Browning announced the release of the new Buck Mark Camper UFX at SHOT Show this year.  Sharing many of the qualities of the previous Buck Mark line of pistols, this addition will have an allow frame, with a matte blued finish.  The biggest addition to this pistol is the Ultragrip FX (UFX) pistol grips.

The Barrel

The Camper UFX has a 5.5” tapered bull barrel that also comes with the matte blued finish.  The chambers are hand-reamed and the muzzle crowns are recessed for protection against damage.  The Camper UFX has a simple blowback operation design.   The slide has built in recesses with raised side panels for better grip.  There is also a manual slide release that can be operated by the shooting or support hand.

The Buck Mark Camper UFX also comes in a stainless steel version.
