The Red Dot Checklist – Suarez International
Suarez International already offers RMR machining/installation for Glocks, the Sig 22X series handguns, and the Sig P320. They just gave the world a peak behind the curtain and apparently, they are gearing up to bring the RMR to several more handguns including the S&W M&P, HK VP9 and P30, and perhaps most notably, the excellent CZ P09/P07.
SI released this image which shows the handguns that they already offer RMR installations for and those which they are developing.
The P09 and Po7 in particular could benefit not only from the aiming aspects of the RMR but also the additional gripping surface for manipulating their low-profile slides. This has potential to be a very, very good set up.
Check out Suarez International’s RMR Installation page to stay up to date on their offerings.

Buyer Beware: Unauthorized Banshee Plate Carriers
There are a number of dealers, some of which are quite well-known, selling unauthorized Banshee Plate Carriers. Shellback Tactical owns the Banshee name and authentic Banshee Plate Carriers are only available through them or their authorized dealers.
If you purchase an unauthorized Banshee PC and happen to need warranty service, Shellback Tactical will not be able to help. This has become a large enough issue that they are working to add serialized labels and/or other authenticating marks.
The easiest way to ensure you have an authentic Banshee PC is to purchase directly from Shellback Tactical or one of their authorized dealers (see the most current list here). If the dealer you are shopping with is not on the list, it isn’t an authentic product. Shellback is updating the list weekly as new dealers come online. If you want to verify a dealer that you don’t see on the list just email mike@shellbacktactical.com.
