Gunstruction June User’s Choice AR-15 Build

By on July 5, 2016 in Guns

Gunstruction compiles the most popular parts from each category in their virtual AR building tool into a single User’s Choice Build every month. These builds are always an interesting look into consumer trends since Gunstruction’s user base and part selection is fairly broad.

Every month I chronicle these builds and every month I write about how they still feature EOTech sights in spite of the issues that have been exposed with them. It has become clear that Gunstruction user’s just prefer EOTech or they are trolling me. There is heavy Magpul representation in this build as usual. Virtual SBRs also seem to be becoming more popular. Whether or not that is translating to people actually building real SBRs is not apparent.

Black Arch Holster Protos-M

By on June 29, 2016 in EDC, Guns

Black Arch (formerly SHTF Gear), just took the wraps off their newest holster – the Protos-M. This is an all-new modular holster design but as you might guess from the name, it shares some lineage with the Black Arch Protos holster in that is also features their patent pended 3/4 Hybrid system. This means that the kydex fully encloses the trigger guard on both sides to give the positive click-in and click-out retention you like about kydex with the comfort of a leather backed hybrid.

From Black Arch:

Logan, UT – June 28, 2016 – Black Arch, a manufacturer of hybrid holsters, announced today the release of its latest product, the Protos-M. Designed to be completely modular, this holster is intended to meet the needs of those who carry daily, train hard, and compete to win.

The Protos-M is able to adapt to any mode of carry (IWB, OWB, and AIWB) by using one of three interchangeable backers. This means that you can carry your gun in different positions and levels of concealment with a single holster. The Protos-M uses their patent-pending ¾ Hybrid system, which means that you will experience the exact same draw no matter which backer you use (note: each backer is custom designed and only compatible with a single model of gun).

More than just a modular holster, the Protos-M is engineered for all-day carry and built to last. Precision-molded kydex, hand-finished leather, and stainless steel components all come together in this new design to create the highest quality holster possible. Completely redesigned backers provide a smaller footprint and make these holsters incredibly concealable and comfortable.

The Protos-M will retail for $94.95 with one backer included and is currently available for pre-order online at blackarchholsters.com. Individual backers will be available for $34.95. The complete Protos-M system box set will retail for $209.95, including one shell, three backers, extra hardware, and accessories.  Pre-orders will begin shipping Friday  July 8th. All Black Arch holsters include free shipping and a lead time of only 2-4 business days.

Griffin Armament Low-Pro RIGID Rails

By on June 28, 2016 in Guns

Griffin Armament has filled out their product line well beyond just suppressors and muzzle devices to include a wide variety of AR accessories and components. Their Low-Pro RIGID Rails are one of their newest offerings.

LPR135-2

This rail gets its RIGID moniker from internal ribs that, when coupled with the extruded aluminum construction, provide increased rigidity. It features a full length top rail with MLOK slots along the full length of the 3, 6, 9 o’clock sides. Sling swivel sockets are integrated into the rail on both sides near the upper receiver.

LPR135-3

Everything about this rail makes the end user’s life easier in terms of the tools necessary for installation, how complete the rail is out of the box, and the value offered. The lightweight 7075 T6 aluminum barrel nut is designed to be installed with a common AR armorers tool that you probably already have – the CAR stock wrench. The rail also ships with a useful and full-featured armorer’s wrench. Speaking of what ships with the rail… It includes the rail, barrel nut, and hardware but it also includes a full set of Griffin Armament’s Rail SHIELD Panels, the previously mentioned armorer’s wrench, the Griffin Armament Primo Gas Block, and a QD sling swivel! If you are building from scratch, that will save you a ton of cash.

The Low-Pro RIGID Rails are available in 4 lengths: 8.6″, 10.5″, 13.5″, and 15″. They are available now from Griffin Armament.
