TangoDown® Inc. is
pleased to announce the latest addition to the lineup – the Vickers Tactical™ Magazine
Release for GLOCK® 43X and 48 (GMR-007).
When GLOCK® expanded their Slim Line to include the 43X and 48, we knew an
improved magazine release would be highly desired. The GMR-007 offers the same features as all
of the GMR series while allowing easy manipulation regardless of hand size. If you love the Vickers Tactical™ Magazine
Releases on your other GLOCK® firearms, you’re sure to love this one too.
WTF’s Belt 00 is 1.5″ wide and works equally well as a loop lined inner belt or as an everyday belt.
Belt 00 is made in the USA from milspec, Berry compliant webbing, hook, loop, and hardware. Belt 00 uses heavy SCUBA webbing as a base. SCUBA webbing offers a superb combination of stiffness and flexibility for a stable, comfortable belt.
Belt 00 uses a steel G-hook for a low profile, secure closure that won’t create a pressure point under an outer belt. Low profile, unobtrusive, VELCRO® USA One-Wrap straps keep everything tidy. A 1″ webbing strap allows for about 2″ of adjustment should cold weather clothing or eating too much ice cream necessitate.
Belt 00 adjusts from 28″ (71cm) – 42″ (106cm), 5.3oz / 150g
Available in black, ranger green, coyote brown, wolf grey, M81 woodland, A-TACS iX, and Multicam Classic, Black, Arid, Alpine, and Tropic.
ShivWorks has updated the Clinch Pick with the introduction of the Clinch Pick 2.0. Per Craig Douglas of ShivWorks:
So what is this? Well…it’s an evolved Clinch Pick. Rather than introduce a ton of new products we prefer to evolve and refine what we have. From the first CPs that were made one constant was end users asking for thicker handle scales. As the scales got thicker over the years, some people reported that the CP had become to round and subjectively didn’t feel as stable. To correct this, our good friend Ban Tang Knives developed a thicker flattened scale on his custom CPs that was also textured. After working through the details with Ban, we took his idea to our manufacturer and behold, the 2.0. The 2.0 also features a much improved sheath that has corrected the overmolding issue. These are the best CPs we’ve put out to date and I’m personally super happy with the way they came out. If you want one, and I know you do, drop Shannon an email at ShivWorks Products Group and get your’s before this run sells out!
The sheath updates might be the most exciting of the 2.0 improvements as it appears to be a very serviceable sheath right out of the box. The sheath on the previous version left a little to be desired and many users sought aftermarket options. If the new sheath is functional, it could make this production version of the Clinch Pick an even better value than the already solid value that the original version was.
Angstadt Arms has released the details for the new MDP-9 and it probably isn’t what you thought it would be… unless you called a roller-delayed blowback PCC that takes Glock mags.
2019
Here are the bullet points from Angstadt Arms:
It’s a true roller-delayed blowback design! It has very low recoil, is great for suppression and all around more pleasant shooting experience that other 9mm actions.
Yes…it runs on Glock magazines, has last round bolt hold open and an extended mag release.
It’s ultra-compact and lightweight, just 14” long and 3.6lbs (empty)
Charging the MDP-9 is done via a non-reciprocating forward charging handle that can be swapped from left to right side.
The barrel is from an MP5 K (5.85″) and has a 3-lug. All other parts in the upper assembly are proprietary to the MDP-9 (including trunnion, bolt, rails, etc.).
It’s backwards compatible. The monolithic upper assembly can be dropped on an AR-9 or AR-15 lower receiver. For customers that want to upgrade their existing guns, they can purchase the upper receiver assembly. It will include the rear picatinny rail adapter to close the gap and allow for brace mounting options.Goodbye buffer tube! The MDP-9 has a super slim 1913 end rail that can accept a wide variety of pistol brace and rifle stock options. The supplied images show the MDP-9 pistol with no brace as well as with a SB Tactical side-folding 1913 brace. You can also use the telescoping MPX PSB. The MDP-9 upper assembly has receiver cuts to accommodate the rails.
User serviceable. The bolt, rollers, locking piece and rails are made from hardened steel and can be swapped out by the end user. The upper receiver assembly is 7075-T6.
Pricing:
MDP-9 9mm Pistol: $2,599 MSRP.
MDP-9 9mm Pistol with SB-Tactical side folding brace: $2,799 MSRP.
MDP-9 monolithic upper assembly and end rail adapter: $1,799 MSRP.
