Smith & Wesson M&P Pro Series C.O.R.E. Handguns

Smith & Wesson recently introduced the M&P Pro Series C.O.R.E. handguns through the S&W Performance Shop. The Pro Series C.O.R.E. have the ability to accept a number of different compact red dot optics. This adds S&W to the very short list of manufacturers who have offered their handguns configured to accept an RDS from the factory.

The M&P Pro Series C.O.R.E. handguns allow the user to mount the following RDS: Trijicon RMR, Leupold Delta Point, Jpoint, Doctor, C-More STS, or Insight MRDS. There is some speculation that the mounting system that allows all of these various optics to be mounted is similar to the Atom Mounting System from Unity Tactical. However, it appears that the optic sits a bit higher with the S&W mounting system.

The trend toward mounting RDS on handguns certainly seems to be gaining momentum.

New AK Rear Sight from RS Regulate?

RS Regulate is teasing their Facebook fans with what appears to be a pretty exciting new rear sight for AK rifles. We don’t know a lot about it at this point but we can speculate.

Teaser image from RS Regulate

RS Regulate is known for their optic mounts that utilize the side rail that is found on many AKs. This appears to be a peep style rear sight that attaches to the side rail. This would allow the sight to be positioned further back on the rifle which would extend the sight radius. Peep sights really don’t work as well unless they are near the shooter’s eye which is exactly where this would be.

This has the potential to be a very exciting development for the AK shooters. I will release more details and images when I have them.

Green LaserGrips Coming from Crimson Trace

Green lasers have the advantage of being more visible than red lasers, especially in bright daylight. However, they also come with the disadvantages of increased battery usage, larger size, and inconsistent cold weather performance. Crimson Trace has been able to engineer solutions to deal with these drawbacks and now they are set to release green laser versions of some of their more popular models of LaserGrips.

From Crimson Trace…

(Wilsonville, OR) Crimson Trace will launch five new Lasergrips which feature the industry’s smallest green diode
before the end of the year. This groundbreaking technology raises the bar when it comes to size, battery life,
temperature stability and visibility in all levels of lighting conditions.

Utilizing the company’s patented Instinctive Activation™, models will be available for 1911 full size and compact
frames, Glock full size and compact frames and the Smith & Wesson J-Frame revolver.  All five of these models will
be available in December through normal distribution and from www.crimsontrace.com, starting at $299.

Although the human eye perceives green lasers as being brighter, until now they have had several drawbacks when
it came to power consumption, performance in cold weather and overall size. Crimson Trace has solved all of these
by developing an entirely new laser package, no larger than the tried and tested red version currently used in its
award-winning Lasergrips. “We have been anticipating and perfecting this line of green Lasergrips over this past
year,” explained Kent Thomas, Director of Marketing for Crimson Trace. “Our goal was to deliver the most visible
and consistent green laser available on the market in our flagship platform and we’re proud to have accomplished
everything we set out to do.”  Finding holsters to accommodate firearms equipped with these green Lasergrips is
simple as the grips do not interfere with most standard holster options.

All Lasergrips models are pre sighted from the factory at 50’ and are fully adjustable by the user to fine tune it to
their chosen self defense ammunition.  Featuring the most powerful laser allowable by law, the units offer an industry
leading 2 hour run time on two, easily replaced #2032 batteries.

All Crimson Trace products are proudly designed, engineered and built in the USA. For further information contact;
