Geissele Automatics and ALG Defense released a video that shows Bill Geissele giving an overview of all their new products for 2015. There is some great information here that goes in depth on several products and even mentions a few upcoming products that haven’t been seen yet. The ALG EMR segment is particularly illuminating including a mention of an EMR V4 rail that will feature a full top rail.

ALG EMR V2 M-LOK
Geissele Automatics and sister company ALG Defense are conducting a full frontal assault on out wallets… and I don’t mind one bit. They have been introducing new products at a breakneck pace over the last few days. The EMR V2 M-LOK is the latest product to roll out of ALG Defense’s machines.
The EMR V2 M-LOK is very similar to the original EMR with the addition of an integral short rail section at the 12 o’clock position on the muzzle end of the rail. This makes a lot of sense since many EMR users were placing a rail in this position anyway for front sights, lights, and other items appropriate for the top rail. The rest of the rail is covered with M-LOK spec slots so you can attach rails and accessories anywhere along the rail at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 o’clock. Like the original EMR, it features rotation limited QD sling swivel sockets at 2 and 10 o’clock, back near the receiver.
The new version also features an interesting aesthetic feature. There is a tapered ramp that better blends the height of the upper receiver with the slim diameter of the rail.
Available lengths:
- 10” EMR V2 M-LOK: $145
- 12” EMR V2 M-LOK: $150
- 13” EMR V2 M-LOK: $155
- 15” EMR V2 M-LOK: $165
Expect these to begin shipping sometime shortly after SHOT Show. Check out ALG Defense.
New Products from ALG Defense: Sidewinder Muzzle Brake and 6-Second Mount
ALG Defense rolled out two new products today. One is new to the public but the other, the 6-Second Mount, has been shown for a long time and hotly anticipated.
The Sidewinder muzzle brake is machined from 17-4PH stainless steel to fit ½”-28 threaded 5.56 barrels. This muzzle device has a very unique appearance and shape that is born out of function. From ALG Defense:
The vents are angled upward at 3 and 9 o’clock deflecting gas to the sides, away from the ground, reducing dust and debris when firing from the prone position. The vents are larger on top than on the bottom which minimize the muzzle rise of the ALG Sidewinder. The unique design reduces muzzle rise and recoil, allowing the shooter to quickly get back on target for rapid follow up shots.
It is available in a black nitride or bright polish finish and comes with a peel washer.
The 6-Second Mount was developed in collaboration with a counter-terrorism group who needed a fast sighting system for situations when their pistol was their primary weapon out of necessity. It was built for a specific purpose as described by one of the end users involved in the design:
The fight lasts 6 seconds… Either they’re dead or you’re dead, and aggression saves the day.
While slide mounted red dot sights are becoming more and more common for concealed carry, a mount like this has distinct advantages for handguns that do not need to be concealed. The advantages center mostly around the fact that the red dot does not reciprocate with the slide. First, it is much easier on the optic. Second, it prevents weakening of the side from machining. Third, the reliability of the handgun is not effected by the additional weight of red dot sight on the slide. Finally, the fixed red dot sight may be easier to the shooter to track.
The ALG 6-Second Mount in machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and designed to fit Gen 3 Glock 17, 22, 24, 31, 34 and 35.
My nightstand G17 needs one of these so badly. I even have a Micro Aimpoint laying around… this is going to be tough to resist.
ALG Defense AK Trigger Update
ALG Defense, the sister company of Geissele Automatics which is run by Amy Geissele, stirred up quite a bit of excitement with a preview of their upcoming AK trigger. Since that initial post on the trigger, I have found new details regarding the trigger.
There will be two different types of AK triggers available from ALG Defense. The first variation will be a standard trigger that will retail for $49. The second variation will have a shorter and lighter trigger pull that Bill Geissele states will be similar to the Geissele Automatics SD3G trigger. The SD3G is known for its rolling break and very fast reset which leads to split times around 1/10th of a second in the hands of skilled users. It will retail for around $75.
You can expect to see both triggers at SHOT Show in the Geissele Automatics/ALG Defense booth and, notably, at the SHOT Show range day media event. That means these are far along enough in development that there will be working triggers available to try in February. That is exciting news.
