New Gear from UW Gear

UW Gear has officially released their newest gear for 2015, all of which revolves around their new double magazine pouch design. Like UW Gear’s single magazine pouch, the new double magazine pouch is closed with their tuck tab system. A small Velcro tab on the lid that can only engage when a magazine is missing ensures that a single magazine is retained when there is only one magazine in the pouch.

The magazine pouch is the basis for an unnamed 6 magazine chest rig, MOLLE compatible magazine pouches, and a new bandoleer design. See the video below for more details.

These new products are not available on the UW Gear website yet but they can be ordered by contacting UW Gear directly.

Aimpoint Launches Micro H-2

Aimpoint just launched the Micro H-2. Like the H-1 before it, the H-2 has most of functionality and durability of its tactical forerunner the T-2 except it lacks night vision modes and is slightly less waterproof (though still very capable – rated submersible to 15 feet).

From Aimpoint:

Chantilly, VA – May 11, 2015 – Aimpoint, the originator and world leader in electronic red dot sighting technology for forty years, has announced the addition of the new Micro H-2 sight to the company’s commercial product line. The Micro H-2 will be available for shipment in August 2015, and will be offered alongside the company’s existing Micro H-1 product.

Since its introduction in 2007, the Aimpoint Micro sight has become a popular hunting sight worldwide due to its lightweight and compact size, durability, and extremely long battery life. Product reviews with hunters and sport shooters identified a series of desired product enhancements that have now been added to this new product. These changes include: a new sight housing which allows the addition of front and rear protective flip covers, additional physical protection for the sight’s adjustment turrets, and increased ruggedness for the sight’s internal electronic components.

The most significant developments in the Micro H-2 however, are the advanced optical lenses that allow for even better light transmission and provide a noticeable increase in the clarity and performance properties of the sight. This ensures a more distinct and clearer dot in all conditions and situations.

“The Aimpoint Micro has become the worldwide standard for compact reflex sights” says Matt Swenson, Vice President of Sales. “With the sight’s new design, the Micro H-2 takes the level of performance available from a compact sight to an entirely new level.”

The Micro H-2 can be mounted on nearly any rifle, shotgun, handgun or crossbow, and can be used with most existing mounts that fit the Micro H-1 including the Blaser saddle mount. The sight can also be mounted to a larger magnified scope with a 30mm or 34mm scope adapter giving the hunter ability to hunt at both short and long distances while providing faster target acquisition. The Micro H-2 can operate for up to five years of constant-on use, using just one CR-2032 battery, and is waterproof.

Making Ammo by Kyle Lynch

Kyle Lynch, a friend of mine, has recently authored a book called Making Ammo: A Beginner’s Guide to Handloading. The book is a practical guide that guides the user through the entire process of handloading from the very beginning. It covers topics like why you should consider reloading, bullet types and construction, choosing a powder, setting up a reloading bench, and so on. It continues to hold your hand all the way through to how to collect data on the range to improve your reloads. If you are new to reloading or considering getting started, this would make a great addition to your library.
