Gunstruction March 2016 User’s Choice Builds

By on April 6, 2016 in Guns

Gunstruction’s User’s Choice Builds are comprised of the most popular parts from each category in their virtual AR building software. These builds reflect the parts that Gunstruction users selected most frequently for their virtual builds which makes it a interesting window into consumer trends… and there is always something interesting about these builds.

The AR-15 side of the house continues with the trend of user’s choosing EOTech sights. This has been the case going all the way back to September 2015 in spite of the well publicized issues with their sights. It is also interesting that, possibly for the first time ever, the most popular pistol grip was manufactured by someone other than Magpul (BCM in this case).

The AR-10 builds continue to lean toward precision rather than MBR/general purpose type builds. However, this month the user’s were most excited about a 10.5″ barrel which bucks the trend of 16″+ barrels in previous months.

Black Rhino Concealment Trigger Guard Holster

By on April 2, 2016 in EDC, Guns

It seems that there is a new holsterish thing that does not cover the trigger guard coming to market every week. Most of them are terrible. A few, like some of the clips that attach to the handgun, aren’t terrible but should still make you a bit nervous due to the exposed trigger guard. I generally recommend carrying with a proper, full-coverage holster but if you insist on something other than that please consider using something like the Trigger Guard Holster from Black Rhino Concealment (BRC).

BRC makes the Trigger Guard Holster for a number of common firearms. It snaps onto the trigger guard, completely covering it and adding only minimal bulk to the overall size of the handgun. To use it with something like a handgun clip you would simply hitch the short static cord on your belt. The static cord quickly reaches the extent of its length during the draw stroke which automatically removes the Trigger Guard Holster from the handgun. It can also be used without a clip in the same manner.

These types of holsters are actually handy for a number of storage and carry uses. Check out the Trigger Guard Holsters at Black Rhino Concealment.
