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.

Aero Precision AC-15 Mid-Length OEM
Aero Precision’s AC-15 is one of the most attractive entry level AR-15s on the market thanks to it’s use of all standard parts, correct twist rate, and quality barrel. Those same features make it attractive as a base for customization. Brownell’s is now offering a special version of the AC-15 that may be even more attractive as a starting point for customization.
The new AC-15 Mid-Length OEM is very much like the original AC-15 except it boasts a mid-length gas system. It also comes with an installed low-profile gas block, bare USGI barrel nut, and bare receiver extension. This allows the user to easily add any stock and free float hand guard that they wish. The price also reflects the lack of stock and hand guard which makes this rifle an even better value.
You can also save $25 when you use the code “L5B” at checkout. See the AC-15 Mid-Length at Brownells.
Dueck Defense DFR Glock Rear Sight
The Dueck Fixed Fear (DFR) is the latest product to be released by Dueck Defense. This Glock compatible rear sight features a rear sight notch that is 20% deeper than typical sights which Dueck Defense claims gives “your eye a longer window of light but still narrow enough for precise aiming.”
The DFR also has a clever hooked design that makes it easier to operate with one hand by hooking the sight on your belt or holster. There are other hooked sights on the market but Dueck Defense has gone to great lengths to completely remove the sharp edges that would typically be found on such sights.
The DFR is available separately or bundled with various front sight options. Check out DueckDefense.com.
Vickers Guide: 1911
To say that Larry Vickers knows 1911s is an understatement. He knows their history, their mechanics, their operation, their application, the people who make them, and the people who collect them. There may not be anyone living who can speak with more authority on the 1911 and that is what makes his newest book, Vickers Guide: 1911, so exciting.
This is a proper coffee table book. It is chocked full of a amazing photography, technical data, and historical context for some truly rare 1911s. All of this is wrapped up in a package that conveys the permanence, status, and weight of the 1911 itself.
If you are even the least bit interesting in 1911s, you need to check out this book at VickersGuide.com.
