Introducing the Springfield Armory Alpha
The 911 proved that a pocket pistol could fit in your hand and shoot with the familiarity of the legendary 1911 platform.
Now, we’re introducing another version of the 911, the 911 Alpha in .380.
The 911 Alpha offers a value-priced variant that focuses on the essentials of the platform, while maintaining the quality and handling characteristics the gun is known for. With an MSRP of $429, no other firearm in its class comes close to the quality and feature set of the 911 Alpha.

Barrett 4050 SDR obtains FCC and Industry Canada approval
Barrett 4050 SDR obtains FCC and Industry Canada approval
Perth, Western Australia, 15 January 2019 – In November 2018 Barrett Communications was advised that the 4050 HF SDR transceiver was granted authorization by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States and by Industry Canada.
This product authorization was for FCC compliance under Rule Parts 87 – Aviation and Rule Part 90 – Private Land Mobile Radio. Industry Canada product authorization was under RSS-125 Issue 2 – AM Land‐Mobile and/or Fixed Radio Transmitter and Receiver. FCC approval is particularly defined within the United States but is also seen by many countries in South America and international organizations within the civil aviation, such as ICAO, as part of their homologation process.
Mr. Andrew Burt, CEO of Barrett Communications commented “The American and Canadian markets continues to grow for Barrett Communications and we will continue to seek relevant approvals for the products we design and manufacture.”
In 2016 when the United States government were tightening secure cargo laws, Barrett Communications were successful in becoming a Known Consignor. This Known Consignor status has allowed Barrett to continue to export products into the United States without the need for additional costs of authorized inspections or lengthy delays due to the increased security on air freight.
Mr Burt went on to say “Barrett Communications have always considered these markets to be significant, and our commitment to existing and new customers in this market will continue to be a focus for us.”

NEW Hi-Point pistol for 2019
MKS Supply, Inc., Dayton, OH –January 14, 2019 – New Hi-Point pistol.
Hi point will be introducing a new pistol in latter half of 2019. The new 9mm high capacity (also new for Hi-Point) compact pistol will have a threaded barrel and many new features.
This is not an old model with a few tweaks like the latest version of someone’s 1911. This is an entirely new pistol of a more contemporary design and yet will retain Hi-Point’s affordable pricing, reliability, robust construction, accuracy and owner following lifetime warranty.
Hi-Point is not a model flipping company and it has been years since their last new pistol design was unveiled. Their thought process is basically, if it works well and people can afford it, then it works well! However, Hi-Point’s new owner wanted a more contemporary compact high-capacity pistol that is still Hi-Point affordable, robust, reliable and accurate.
This new pistol is in “stealth” prototype stage and our media relations firm could not even get an image of it. However, there will be 3D printed models at the 2019 SHOT Show booth 16144 for examination–bring your 3D printed ammo and we will shoot at 3D printed targets, bet someone does that!
So for more information and a look-see of the most recent member of the Hi-Point family come by the MKS Supply booth 16144 (main floor) at the 2019 SHOT Show and see it and Hi-Point carbines and other pistols, Inland .30 caliber carbines, shotguns, pistols and of course the new to the U.S., the ultra hi-quality Barnaul Ammunition line from Russia.

Montana Outdoor Group Acquires Montana Rifle Company
Visit Montana Rifle Company at the 2019 SHOT Show at booth # 15940
Kalispell, Mont. (January 2019) – Montana Outdoor Group, a private investor group, has acquired the Montana Rifle Company (MRC) from Owner and Founder Brian Sipe. According to industry veteran and new CEO Ron Petty, the acquisition was completed in July and new changes were immediately implemented to rejuvenate the facility and increase production capability. Petty commented, “we are extremely excited to acquire this prestigious company and already we are seeing sales and production on the rise.”
New machinery, including several state-of-the-art CNC machines, and several new key personnel have made a very positive impact, not only on production, but new products as well.
“With the acquisition, machinery and key personnel in place, we have established the Montana Custom Barrel Division and are actively producing barrel blanks for key industry partners,” Petty continued.
MRC produces custom actions, such as the Model 1999, designed by noted gunsmith and founder Brian Sipe. The action combines features of both the M70 Winchester’s 3-position safety and fully adjustable trigger with the Mauser controlled feed extractor. The action is a preferred choice of many custom gunsmiths and is available as an “action- only” in short, long and PH configuration for calibers .222 through the 505 Gibbs. Barreled actions are also available in over 70 calibers.
MRC’s selection of custom rifles includes models in both right- and left-hand actions and a complete range of calibers in both Chromoly Blue, Stainless, wood and synthetic stocks. MRC firearms have won almost every prestigious award, including Field & Stream’s 2015 “Best of the Best,” SCI’s 2017 “Gun of the Year” and many others. At Montana Outdoor Group, we are proud to keep this tradition alive and well!
Consumers can see our complete line up for 2019 at the SCI, DSC, Sheep Show, Western Expo and the NRA Expo. Petty explained, “wherever great hunters converge, we’ll be there!”

Introducing The 980 Turret
ArachniGRIP® Offers Slide Spider for Sig P365
(Parker, CO) – ArachniGRIP®, creator and manufacturer of the innovative Slide Spider® adhesive slide grip, is proud to offer the Slide Spider for the popular Sig P365.
Responding to customer requests for the Slide Spider® slide grips for this innovative compact, Arachnigrip has added a new design to fit the Sig Sauer P365 pistol. Sig Sauer introduced this game changer at the 2018 SHOT Show. The Sig P365 is a compact gun. It’s effortless to carry and super comfortable. What makes the P365 really special is its small size coupled with its 10-round capacity. The P365 also has a factory 12-round magazine that extends the length of the gun and provides better grip for those with big hands.
Generally, small guns can be difficult to control. The greater control you can achieve, the better. The smaller slide on the P365 and other compact pistols result in less surface area for the shooter to grip. That’s where the Slide Spider grip by Arachnigrip® saves the day. The Slide Spider provides additional gripping texture that supports better safety and control of the firearm during all functions. The Slide Spider® for the Sig P365 is available at www.arachnigrip.com and has an MSRP of $19.95
The Slide Spider grip by ArachniGRIP is available for most semi auto pistols. The Slide Spider grip products enable the shooter to gain increased control through a safe and secure hold. The products offer additional tactical advantages under challenging operating conditions, including extreme moisture and temperature. In addition, these products aid shooters with weak or weakened hand strength and those with medical conditions such as arthritis.
For more information about ArachniGRIP products, visit www.arachnigrip.com.
About ArachniGRIP®:
ArachniGRIP® was founded by two lifelong firearms enthusiasts. We are located in Parker, Colorado, at the base of the Rocky Mountains. Our company believes that all shooters should have the advantages of proper equipment and training. Our products and instructional videos are designed to aid shooters in the safe, practical use and control of their firearms.

It’s Good To Be A Cow!
It’s Friday, the weekend is upon us, the government is still shut down and the Democrats are still insisting that walls don’t work. It’s also time for our weekly shoot the shit.
A shoot the shit is a form of social interaction among individuals who may know nothing about the subject being discussed, like the House Democrats, where you can make unsupported statements, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone you wish or change the subject altogether.
So let’s get started.
Narendra Damodardas Modi is an Indian politician serving as the 14th and current Prime Minister of India since 2014. Well, Prime Minister Modi has been encouraging Indians to protect cows. As you know, cows are sacred to religious Hindus, something I could never figure out because a large percentage of the Indian population, especially in the outer states are going hungry. The move to protect cows by tightening cow protection laws has devastated India’s Muslim community who rely on beef for nutrition, employment and exports accounting for $4 billion in business.
I respect, an individual’s right to their brand of religiosity, but tighter cow protection laws may have unexpected consequences for India if Ann Navaro and Rosie O’Donell decide to make the country their new home!
A couple of class acts!
Moving right along, the newly elected House member from the state of New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, wants to increase taxes on the wealthy. The only problem is that she is clueless on how a progressive tax works. I don’t know about you readers, but I have never worked for a poor person and employment prospects have always improved when the sources of capital are incentivized to start and grown existing businesses. When that happens personal incomes rise, crime drops, quality of life improves, the government’s tax base grows and communities are revitalized.
I can get over a lack of knowledge, but there’s no telling what else she has rattling around in her head and for that reason we placed her on the dark side of The Force.
I’ll bet you Nancy Pelosi and George Clooney have a little Santeria aimed at Congresswoman Cortez.
Senator Schumer and Speaker Pelosi made a joint statement immediately after President Trump`s Border Security speech. Folks, whoever staged their photo op should never be allowed behind a camera lens ever again.
In the now infamous photo, Nancy and Chuck look a little like a husband and wife team. Consistent with Chuck’s face, there’s an old Jewish joke that says it all here:
“Why do Jewish men predecease their wives?” “Be cause they want to.”
Readers 2019 and 2020 are going to be challenging years, so stay alert, stay engaged and fight the good fight. Other than that, hey there’s only 11 days until Shot Show 2019!
Have a great weekend be safe and spend quality time with your buds and family!

SIG SAUER Releases Pivoting Contour Brace
NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 9, 2019) – SIG SAUER, Inc. today released the SIG SAUER Pivoting Contour Brace (PCB) accessory to be included with variants of the SIG MCX and SIG MPX series rifles, and available for purchase separately as an accessory.
The new SIG SAUER PCB has a sturdy I-Beam design and features a 360-degree pivoting arm articulation, 1913 rail mounting interface, and folds flat for easy storage leaving the controls easily accessible. The brace is available in black and coyote tan.
“This new pivoting contour brace has been reengineered to increase functionality” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, “The minimalist design of the brace makes it lightweight, and by design there are more points of contact between the brace and the user increasing control for better accuracy, while the 360-degree pivoting arm only enhances the overall user-friendliness of the brace to enhance the shooting experience.”
Recently the new SIG SAUER PCB Brace was featured at the Honored American Veterans Afield (HAVA) National Family Day Learn to Shoot Again event at San Antonio Police Academy in San Antonio, Texas. Rick Cicero, Manager and Lead Instructor for the HAVA Learn to Shoot Again Program commented, “with the SIG SAUER Pivoting Contour Brace I was able to easily move through the stages of a challenging course of fire easily alternating the angle of my SIG MCX and adjusting for target position and barrier placement.”
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the SIG SAUER PCB will be donated to the HAVA Learn to Shoot Again program.
The SIG SAUER Pivoting Contour Brace is available for purchase at sigsauer.com/store.

Trailblazer® Firearms Introduces the LifeCard .22 WMR Pocket Pistol
Visit Trailblazer® Firearms at SHOT Show 2019 at Booth 2262
The newest model in the diminutive folding, single-shot pistol line will be unveiled at SHOT Show 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 22 -25, 2019.
Asheville, N.C. (January 2019) – Trailblazer® Firearms will be exhibiting at Booth 2262 during SHOT Show 2019, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 22 – 25, 2019, and will introduce firearms retailers to their newest model, the LifeCard .22 WMR folding, single-shot pistol.
The company, Trailblazer Firearms, headquartered in the western part of North Carolina, home to many companies developing some of the leading machining technologies in the US, launched the LifeCard .22 LR folding, single-shot pistol in late 2017. The tiny pocket pistol filled the void between an EDC and a utility tool designed to eliminate vermin. Small enough to fit into the ubiquitous 5th pocket of a pair of Levi’s®, the LifeCard took on a life of its own and exceeded company sales projections in its first year on the market.
The newest model, the LifeCard .22 WMR, came as a result of customer requests and the company’s commitment to only producing products that met their high level of quality in form, function and performance. The new .22 WMR will provide customers with the advantage of a more powerful cartridge without compromising the tiny overall size and shape.
“It took us seven years to bring the initial LifeCard concept to market,” Aaron Voigt, founder and president of Trailblazer Firearms, said. “We are in no hurry to create product that does not pass our rigorous testing or have the demand in the marketplace. The .22 WMR passed both criteria and we are proud to add this new model to our LifeCard line.”

-
Caliber: .22 WMR
-
Action: Single-Action, Single-Shot

Nexbelt to introduce its "new & improved" EDC ratchet style gun belts at 2019 SHOT Show in Las Vegas
(RANCHO CUCAMONGA) – Nexbelt, “The Gun Belt With No Holes”, announced today that they will be exhibiting in the SHOT Show POP-UP section of the 2019 SHOT Show on Wednesday, January 23rd in Booth W1544.
Nexbelt will be showcasing their new & improved TITAN, ROGUE, DEFENDER and BOND Series ratchet-style gun belts for 2019.
Nexbelt’s EDC ratchet-style gun belts feature a unique ratcheting system called Precise-Fit that allows the wearer to adjust his or her belt in ¼ inch increments instead of the normal 1 inch adjustment that a traditional belt with a pin/buckle system allows. This ability to “fine-tune” a belt in ¼ inch increments not only provides unprecedented comfort, but is especially important for those practicing open or concealed carry. Having just the right amount of tension to safely secure your firearm is critical, and the ability to quickly switch from an IWB (inside the waistband) holster to an OWB (outside the waistband) holster is something that no other gun belt offers. This belt is great for light duty tactical or every day carry and is much more comfortable than a normal rigger belt.
The nylon strap of our TITAN belt (available in Black, Grey, Green, Tan and Coyote) is made of a super-high density microfiber material that is an advanced composite of ultra-fine polyester fibers. The strap provides enough stiffness for holstering your sidearm as well as your everyday tools or extra clips. The bullet styled tip is laser cut and features a leather stitched tip to resist fraying. The removable buckle has a magnetic trigger for quick adjustments of 1/4″ for a perfect fit. The clasp has two set screws to provide a more reliable hold than just a clasp alone (a Nexbelt exclusive) and the buckle is constructed using stainless steel set screws, instead of pins, like the cheap knock-off belts use. In the center of the strap is a rubber liner to resist sweat from penetrating the outer belt surface. This belt Buckle size 1 11/16″ x 2 9/16″ – Belt strap width is 1 7/16″.
Our new BOND, ROGUE and DEFENDER belts feature leather straps (available in Black, Brown, Espresso and Black Carbon). Great for the casual or upscale look, these high quality leather belts provides the stiffness required for holstering your sidearm while still giving you the most comfortable fit for every day wear. The buckles have a magnetic trigger and ratchet system for quick adjustments in 1/4″ inch increments. The clasp has two set screws to provide a more reliable hold than just a clasp alone (a Nexbelt exclusive) and the buckle is constructed using stainless steel set screws, instead of pins, like the cheap knock-off belts use. The belt backing is made of water resistant PU for enhanced wear and sweat protection. Buckle size 1 5/8″ x 2 5/16″ – Belt strap width is 1 7/16″.
About Nexbelt
Nexbelt is 100% committed to offering its customers superior customer service and the most innovative and technologically advanced products available. Nexbelt’s unique ratcheting system called PreciseFit allows the wearer to adjust his or her belt in ¼ inch increments, providing the best fit, feel, and fashion of any belt on the market.
Nexbelt’s DRIVE Vision….
-
Deliver what we Promise with Integrity.
-
Retain the Human touch
-
Invest in Good People generously.
-
Value our Customers Unconditionally.
-
Embrace Change with Innovation.
Company Founders, Tom Hunsucker, and Eddie and Francis Rowland started Nexbelt in 2010 with a vision to reinvent the way Americans buy, sell and wear their belts. Tired of the old outdated pin/buckle system, they set their sights on creating a belt that would be both adjustable and highly fashionable at the same time. Out of this passion, Nexbelt, “The Belt With No Holes” was born.

Those products include red and green laser sights, red dot sights for pistols and long guns, and nearly a dozen cutting-edge riflescopes for long range and medium range shooting enthusiasts. Crimson Trace will showcase these and all of its products at SHOT Show in booth #13729 beginning January 22.
Among the new products are Crimson Trace laser sights:
-
The Laserguard® LG-422/G laser sight with a red or green diode for the SIG Sauer® P365® semi-auto pistol.
-
The Laserguard LG-459 with a red diode and the LG-459G with a green diode. Those new laser sights are engineered for a precision fit onto the trigger guards of the Smith & Wesson® M&P Shield® EZ® pistols and the Smith &Wesson M&P® .22 Compact pistol series.
-
The Lasersaddle™ LS-250/G laser sight designed for fit onto the Mossberg® SHOCKWAVE™ firearm, available in both red and green versions.
Several models of new Crimson Trace red dot sights will include:
-
The CTS-1000—a closed red dot sight with a 2 MOA aiming reticle designed for use on a rifle equipped with most standard rail mounting systems.
-
The CTS-1100—a 3.5X battlesight with a custom and fully-illuminated Crimson Trace advanced hybrid BDC reticle designed primarily for use on long guns.
-
The CTS-1400—an open red dot sight with 3.25 MOA aiming reticle and a large field of view. It is designed for use on long guns and incorporates an advanced motion detection system that notes inactivity, resulting in auto-shut-off to save battery life.
Crimson Trace will also showcase 11 new custom-designed riflescopes that range from a 1-4X24mm up to a long-range 5-25X56mm. Each riflescope offers a range of magnification options and provides generous eye relief. The line includes models featuring 30mm and 34mm one-piece tubes with objective lenses in diameters ranging from 24mm to 56mm. All riflescopes have specially designed turrets that make adjustment easier for users wearing gloves, and are equipped with flip-up caps on the ocular and objective lenses to protect the glass and help keep the glass surfaces clean. Subdued internal components reduce glare and bright spots, resulting in improved vision and a clearer image. The line also includes a 3-9X40mm riflescope with an illuminated reticle and 34mm tube, and two 1-8X28mm riflescopes with 34mm tubes. All Crimson Trace riflescopes are fog-, shock-, water- and dust-proof and the illuminated reticles can be adjusted to varying intensity levels.

Auto-Ordnance Introduces "I Stand" 1911
(Greeley, PA) – Thompson Auto-Ordnance, maker of the famous “Tommy Gun” and other classic firearms throughout history, is excited to introduce the “I Stand” Custom 1911.
In a time period where some in America may have forgotten the true meaning of sacrifice, Kahr Firearms Group is paying tribute to those who truly gave all for America. The “I Stand” 1911 honors all those who sacrificed their lives in the service of our country. For this reason, the phrase “All Gave Some, Some Gave All” is engraved on the dust cover. At Kahr Firearms Group, we stand for the National Anthem, and behind the men and women who keep us free. Thus the words “I Stand” are engraved on the right side of the slide. “Freedom Is Not Free” is engraved on the left side of the slide, a powerful reminder of the many who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. The American Flag is on the right grip, and the left grip depicts a battlefield memorial for a fallen warrior. The finish is a worn Cerakote in black and gray. Underneath is the same made in the USA, Auto-Ordnance GI 1911 that you know and trust.
Each pistol is a 5”, GI pattern 1911, chambered in .45 ACP. The slide, sear, and disconnector are machined from solid bar stock, properly heat treated for many thousands of rounds of reliable shooting. The sights, safety, trigger, and beavertail are GI pattern. Unlike GI guns, all Auto-Ordnance 1911s are precisely machined to modern standards. This guarantees that the GI 1911 may look like the original, but will shoot with a degree of accuracy far superior to the military guns. Owning the “I Stand 1911” gives the modern shooter a chance to own a piece of history, while making a powerful statement in support of the brave Americans who paid the ultimate price preserving our freedom.
The “I Stand” 1911 (1911BKOC1) comes with a 7-round magazine and has an MSRP of $1,313. Contact your local firearms dealer to purchase.
Bangers USA is the exclusive distributor for the “I Stand” 1911. Dealers can contact them directly at 800-226-4377 to order, or visit www.bangersusa.com to learn more.
Kahr Firearms Group and Outlaw Ordnance worked closely together on the “I Stand” 1911 and other custom projects. Outlaw Ordnance, based out of West Monroe, Louisiana, is a growing firm, changing the firearm industry with custom designs and innovations. Check out their Instagram Channels to see what else is new.
