GlockWorx and Craig “Sawman” Sawyer are working together to create a custom Glock package. The package will be called the “SAWMAN” Custom Combat Pistol. The specs of the package are still being worked out but with GlockWorx involved you can bet there will be some slick slide machining, stippling, and the excellent Fulcrum Trigger.
Sneaky Bags recently posted some videos that demonstrate how a few of their products work (below) and show two new products: the Nautilus and the Spyder. The Nautilis is an EDC capable sling bag with a concealed carry compartment. The Spyder is a compact, more discreet take on the CRB that is even better suited to discreet daily carry with a PDW or SBR with folding stock.
The Nautilus and Spyder can be seen in the top center of this picture.
Look for information about the new bags soon. Check out Sneaky Bags.
AR-15 pistols have come a long way. What was once considered a range toy is being treated with more and more respect. Much of that respect has come due to manufacturers, like Phase 5, who have developed quality parts that make the AR-15 pistol more effective than ever. Phase 5 is now offering their own off-the-shelf AR-15 pistols like the new CQC Pistol – Forged.
The CQC Pistol – Forged is packed with many of the parts that Phase 5 has developed for the pistol market including their Buffer Tube Assembly, Lo-Pro Slope Nose Quad Rail, and Battle Latch Charging Handle Assembly. The 41v50 steel barrel is 7.5″ long, has a 1 in 7″ twist rate, and features 5.56 chamber with M4 feed ramps.
Lightweight AR-15 builders have taken several approaches to lightening the forward assist. Some have removed it and used plastic plugs to full the hole that is left behind. Others use upper receivers that lack a forward assist to begin with. Both of these approaches leave you without a functional forward assist which, while it may not always be needed, it is nice to have. Now there is another option for shedding weight at the forward assist – the V7 Ultra-Light Forward Assist.
The V7 Ultra-Light Forward Assist, like many other V7 Ultra-Light parts, is made from 7075 T6 aluminum which is hard coat anodized. The small foot that engages the carrier is made from hardened 4140 steel for longevity. It weighs just 9.2 grams or 55% lighter than the standard forward assist.

It can be a bit of a challenge to mount a sling on an AK-47 (or AK-74) for the left-handed shooter. The rear sling point can usually be worked with but the front sling attachment point isn’t very forgiving for lefties. I have helped a few left handed shooters set up AKs and I always recommend using a Blue Force Gear UWL to turn the standard handguard cap hook mount into a lefty-friendly sling attachment point.
I first noticed Larry Vickers using the UWL in this way shortly after they came out. It is the best solution that I have seen for left handed AK shooters. Now, Blue Force Gear has been kind enough to make a video showing how it works.
