Jerking the Trigger

Tango Down BG-17 BATTLEGRIP

By Matt on October 8, 2010 in Guns, Tactical Gear

Tango Down has been making the BG-16 BATTLEGRIP for years and it has secured its status as a classic. If there was one complaint about the BG-16 it was that it was too small from some shooters with larger hands. So, in response to their customers, Tango Down has now released the BG-17 BATTLERGIP.

The BG-17 is basically just a larger version of the BG-16. It features the same great ergonomic shape, texture, and storage system of the original. It also retains the small tab that covers the gap under the trigger guard and adds an extension up the rear curve of the receiver. I like grips with this kind of extension because they increase trigger reach which forces me to engage the trigger with my finger tip.

If you found the original BATTLEGRIP (BG-16) to be too small for your liking, then you will definitely want to take a look at the new BG-17 BATTLEGRIP.

Colt CM901 Details

Soldier Systems has been on top of the rumors surrounding Colt’s entry into the 7.62 AR world. Now, we finally have some truly impressive details about the Colt CM901 thanks to David Crane at Defense Review. Even without all the innovation, I trust Colt to bring a durable, reliable 7.62 AR to market.

This rifle looks to be the next evolutionary step for the AR family of weapons. I hope it finds its way onto dealer shelves.

Quentin Defense QD15 Receivers – New Color Options

By Matt on October 7, 2010 in Guns

Quentin Defense makes billet upper and lower receivers for AR-15s. Of course they make standard black but they recently introduced two new colors: Gun Metal Gray and OD Green. Normally, I really don’t care how a rifle looks but I just had to post some pictures of these new colors. The Gun Metal Gray looks especially sharp.

These new color finishes have the same excellent wear resistance as their black counterpart because they are also mil-spec hard anodized. They are more than just nice to look at, they are also very functional.

LaRue Tactical 20 Round 7.62 Magazines

By Matt on October 6, 2010 in Guns

I can remember the excitement surrounding the release LaRue Tactical OBR (called the OSR at the time). The OBR was built to take the SR-25 pattern magazine which was a very good thing considering that Magpul had announced that they would be a making a 20 round 7.62 PMAG that fit rifles designed to take the SR-25 magazine. However, the release of the 7.62 PMAG was delayed and LaRue was left without a source of consistent magazines to feed the OBR.

So what does a company like LaRue do when they need a quality magazine? They design and build their own with a healthy portion of innovation and LaRue quality.

The LaRue 7.62 magazines feature a high visibility red anti-tilt follower. The follower is designed to maintain the optimal angle to feed the cartridge into the chamber. The body of the magazine has two notable innovations. The first is a feed lip design that is shaped to reduce drag on the cartridge as it feeds into the chamber. The second is a hidden laser weld on the rear of the magazine. Locating the weld here increases the available room at the front of the magazine for accommodating rounds with longer overall lengths. The magazine also has a friction reducing coating that aids in function and eases cleanup.

This is a very well designed magazine that was previously only available with the purchase of an OBR. Soon, they will be available for purchase separately.

You can watch the LaRue Tactical website for more details on pricing and availability.
