zeta6 Speed Strips

By on September 8, 2022 in EDC, Guns

The old days of buying extra long speed strips to space out your revolver reload into doubles may be over thanks to zeta6. They offer a line of speed strips that offer innovative spacing and orientations so that you can load doubles or even triples from a convenient to carry speed strip format.

There are a number of options to choose from at zeta6 including the J-STRIP and SYM-STRIP which both offer built-in spacing to ensure smooth reloading of two chambers at once with the SYM-STRIP offering a symmetrical tab so that the strip can be held on either side. They also offer the J-PAK which is sort of like a speed loader/speed strip hybrid that carries flat but makes reloading three chambers at once possible.

I have not put my hands on these but, if they do what they should, they seem to offer a worthwhile evolution to the venerable old speed strip.

Harry’s Holsters Icon 2.0 – Coming Soon with Much Wider Revolver Support

By on August 30, 2022 in EDC, Guns

I am a fan of the Harry’s Holsters Icon IWB holster for compact revolvers. I use one almost daily as it is generally the holster I wear when I am around the house. You can read my previous review for more details on this clever holster.

Original Icon 1.0 shown

The original Icon was only available for the venerable S&W J Frame which left owners of other compact frame revolvers out in the cold. Those, like myself, who also own and carry the Ruger LCR were among the most vocal in requesting a new version online. Those calls have been heard and will soon be answered.

The Icon is no longer available on HarrysHolsters.com. The product page has been replaced by the Icon 2.0 which offers support not only for the J Frame but also the LCR, Taurus 605, and a couple of barrel length flavors of the Taurus 856.

The Icon 2.0 is currently listed as coming soon. There is a sign-up on the product page to be notified of the launch.

(CINCINNATI, OH) – Faxon Firearms, a Cincinnati, Ohio-based manufacturer of quality rifle and pistol components, and complete firearms, has announced the launch date for their new 8.6 Blackout Barrels.

Since the unveiling of their 1:3 twist 8.6 BLK barrels at SHOT Show 2022, a burning question for those interested in the new round developed by Q has been, “When will barrels be available?” Late last week, Faxon Firearms posted their 5.27.22 launch date on their 8.6 BLK landing page (https://faxonfirearms.com/86blk/).

Faxon Firearms will be releasing the following barrels on Friday:

For AR-10:

  • Faxon 8″ Big Gunner, 8.6 BLK, Pistol Length, 4150, Nitride
  • Faxon 12″ Big Gunner, 8.6 BLK, Pistol Length, 4150, Nitride

  • Faxon 12″ Modified Light Palma Profile, 8.6 BLK, 416-R, Nitride
  • Faxon 16″ Modified Light Palma Profile, 8.6 BLK, 416-R, Nitride

In addition to the 8.6 BLK barrels, Faxon will be launching 3 new AR-10 M-Lok Handguards, and AR-10 height gas blocks. More products for 8.6 BLK will continue to become available throughout the summer.

Faxon has also teased their complete firearms for 8.6 BLK, slated to be released during quarter 3 of this year.

Attendees of the NRA show in Houston this week will be able to see Faxon’s line of 8.6 BLK products first-hand at booth #3741.
