The White Sound Defense FOSSA-556 is one of my favorite muzzle devices. It completely eliminates flash on all the ammo that I have tried it with and it adds a measure of muzzle rise reduction as an added bonus. White Sound Defense is now working on a 7.62 version called the FOSSA-762. They recently released a teaser image of a prototype device mounted on an ArmaLite AR10A SuperSASS.
Those of you who have been waiting on SIONICS Weapon Systems to bring their Dissipator barrels to market won’t have to wait much longer. According to SIONICS the barrels are being finished and should be available shortly. SIONICS is exactly the kind of manufacturer that can help secure a niche for the Dissipator and I trust that the quality will be excellent.
From SIONICS:
Barrels are getting finished to include the Dissipator styled ones. We should have pics up soon. Our Dissipator uses a proven midlength gas system with low profile gas block and the ability to pin the FSB in the rifle length position. This will allow you to have the longer sight radius, with a proper functioning gas system and longer rail.
The upcoming Leitner-Wise e-Sights are a product that has been missing from the market for a long time now. The e-Sights are basically a minimalist set of back up iron sights that weigh very little and take up minimal space on the rail. Their clever design allows them to fold onto themselves which, when coupled with their already compact dimensions, makes them very unobtrusive.
The reliability of modern optics, especially Aimpoints, is no longer in question. In my personal experiences, I have seen more iron sights break than I have seen Aimpoints go down. In spite of that, all of my carbines have back up iron sights because, while I trust Aimpoint implicitly, I am less sure of the batteries that power them. I change my batteries regularly and have never had one die at an inopportune time but I recognize the possibility that it could happen. That is exactly why it boggles my mind that something like the e-Sights haven’t existed until now (they will be available very soon).
As optics advance, it becomes increasingly less likely that they will fail but Murphy still dictates that it is prudent to have iron sights. Given that the iron sights are a back up sighting system and the likelihood of their use is ever decreasing, it makes sense that they should be as unobtrusive as possible.
High Speed Gear gave the world a sneak peek of a new IFAK pouch that they are working on via their Instagram. The pouch is designed to hold the essentials for treating a gun shot wound in an envelope compact enough to ride in between the flaps of an SB15 Stabilizing Brace.
The initial reaction has included no shortage of internet law “experts” and BATFE tea leaf readers that have already declared it illegal and a bad idea. However, they don’t know that High Speed Gear is well aware of the potential implications of this pouch and are working through the proper channels to ensure everything is on the up and up. If everything goes well, it could be approved and ready for release by SHOT show.
I can only speculate but, if I was going to create such a pouch, I would design it to ride in the brace only during transport. If an end user were to leave the pouch in place while shooting the pistol, that would be using the pouch in a manner other than it was intended.
Kudos to High Speed Gear for at least trying. Hat tip to F3 Tactical for the tip.
The SL-1 Sight Light from ROSCH Works is one of the best pieces of gear to ever pass through my hands (see the review here). I am impressed with it, not just because of the design or the quality, but because I believe it represents an important development in weapon lights. That is why I am excited about the JTT Edition SL1s that ROSCH Works will be offering for a limited time at an excellent price.
I have always considered the SL1 to be reasonably priced at it’s normal retail price of $235. That price gives you a premium weapon light with a fully potted Malkoff designed LED module, aluminum construction, Cerakote over hard anodized finish, and a front sight that is actually an improvement over the standard front sight post. It costs less than many premium light options but provides both a light and front sight. On top of all that, it is the lightest way that I am aware of to mount both a light and front sight to your carbine.
ROSCH Works is selling the JTT Special Edition SL1 for $175 which is a savings of $60. It will be just like the regular SL1 except it will sport a handsome laser-engraved JTT logo which probably adds 25 lumens of output (not really) and helps regrow hair (not really). I receive no compensation from this. I just think the product is excellent and I like the guys behind ROSCH Works. They have inventory to reduce and I am glad to help.
Go to ROSCHWorks.com and use code JTTsale at checkout to save $60. The code is only good for the purchase of the SL1. There is no limit. Orders containing other items will be canceled. The coupon is good through the end of the year.
