C&H Precision Weapons has a new line of modular ring mounts for attaching red dots to scope tubes. Rather than place the secondary optic on top of the scope ring, C&H placed it on a ring so it could be placed anywhere on the main tube. This also allows it to sit at any angle.

In recent years, the use of red dot sights on handguns has gained significant popularity among most shooters regardless of their preferred platform, or shooting sport. Just 10 years ago finding an optic on a handgun was still fairly rare outside of the competition world and absolutely unheard of in the concealed carry market. Reflex sights provide several advantages, including increased accuracy, faster target acquisition, and improved shooting speed. However, combining red dot optics with co-witnessed iron sights can offer even greater benefits for shooters seeking versatility and reliability even beyond the simple concept of redundancy. Let’s face it, today’s red dot optics are extremely reliable, and in most cases, you won’t have to rely on your co-witnessed irons. So In this article, we will explore why utilizing co-witness sights in tandem with your red dot-equipped handgun is a good practice to adopt. To accomplish this we’ll be using a Glock 45 MOS handgun and Meprolight’s Tru-Dot series of replacement iron sights with a specific focus on their suppressor height sights which will serve as my co-witness sights.

Newcomer gun accessory maker Partizan Solutions recently announced two new red dot mounts for ACOG scopes. The new ATLAS mounts are available in Acro or Delta Point Pro footprints.

The next evolution for the home machinist is DIY RMR cuts in Glock slides with the Ghost Gunner 3 (GG3). Defense Distributed was kind enough to send in their Optic Cut Kit. I ran the code on two slides and documented the process. Let’s take a look at how you can machine your own RMR cut into slides in the convenience of your own home.

Many people are often trepidatious about adopting a red dot into their regular carry or duty setup. While iron sights don’t require batteries and have been around nearly as long as the firearm has, red dots offer many advantages in a defensive or offensive situation that make them worth adopting into your normal rotation of firearms technologies. In an effort to make the adoption of red dots easier, Trijicon has just announced the introduction of their new Dual Defense Kit for the RMR. The Dual Defense Kit is intended to be a turn-key solution to adding a red dot to any RMR compatible pistol.

Nevada-based Mesa Tactical have introduced their latest shell carrier combined with an RMR mount. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, which is then anodized, the carrier can hold four or six shells and comes mounted with a Trijicon RMR. The mount is available for Remington, Mossberg, Beretta and Benelli tactical shotguns and has an MSRP ranging from $93 to $115.

TangoDown has just about everything when it comes to gun-related gear and accessories. The company just announced that they have released a long-sought-after adapter plate for the Trijicon RMR and the SIG P320 line of pistols – the SSM-03. Naturally, upon seeing this I was curious as I’ve been wanting to kit out one of my SIG P320 pattern pistols with a Trijicon SRO which happens to have the same footprint as the RMR. The kit will allow you to place a Trijicon RMR or similarly patterned option on top of your P320 with the option also available to have it paired with backup iron sights.

ZEV Technologies is one of the biggest names in the game when it comes to Gucci Glock-style pistols. The OZ9 and OZ9 Compact were both great introductions to the firearms market and today ZEV is excited to announce the OZ9 C Combat X pistol. The OZ9C Combat X features all of the same great features you’ve come to expect from the OZ9 series of pistols but optimized for the combat and duty role. Best of all, ZEV is offering the new pistol with the option for a pre-installed Trijicon RM06 optic.

Competition in the firearms and firearms accessories market benefits consumers. It stands to reason, right? One of the best ways for a company to earn your business and make you a customer is to put out superior products. If they produce something that you want to buy more than you want to buy a different manufacturer’s comparable offering, they win your business – and in the process, you also win by virtue of improvements and innovations to which you gain access. Another option for a company to make themselves and their products more attractive is to sell them at a lower price point. Most consumers are mindful of their spending; they have to be judicious about how many of their dollars they are willing to relinquish and to whom for what. Buyers in general want good value – some of which will involve the quality and features of the product in question, but cost combines with other considerations to comprise a comprehensive value proposition. It’s not enough just to make a product; you have to sell it at a price that people are both able and willing to pay. Trijicon and Holosun both understand these precepts well, and they recently locked horns over how one another was going about their business.

When it comes to the growing category of micro red dots, whether they are being outfitted on handguns, shotguns, or even modern sporting rifles with a riser, the bar has always been set by the Trijicon RMR. Whether you lost your hammer and you need to build a deck this weekend, or you are using the red dot for its intended purpose of actually shooting, the Trijicon RMR is as tough as the nails you could pound with it. Its next closest competition is a coin flip among several reputable and good manufacturers… until now. Now its closest competition for red dot superiority comes in-house. So, in this head-to-head Celebrity Deathmatch of popular miniature reflex sights, we will take a close-up look at the gold standard in the Trijicon RMR and its newest in-house rival in the RMRcc.

Earlier this morning we announced that the Trijicon RMRcc is now available to the public to fit all of the most popular concealed carry, full size, and optics ready pistols on the market. The want and desire by shooters for a dedicated micro red dot by a big-name manufacturer has been strong for a while now, and it is finally here! Yes, there are some already out there, but they are produced by foreign manufacturers, seem nearly unattainable to the average consumer, and are not rack-your-gun-on-a-door-frame-by-the-optic durable.

Michigan optics manufacturer Trijicon, Inc. has just filed suit against California based Holosun Technologies, Inc. The docket that was filed on July, 7th 2020 indicates that Trijicon is attempting to bring legal action against Hollosun over alleged patent infringement on Trijicon’s ‘541 Patent titled “Optical Sight.”

Welcome to Costa’s Gat Swag. A monthly installment of some subgun, SBR, or SBS that I have built or bought. I have an addiction to shorties. I love versatile PDW setups, and I am here to share some of my favorite builds. Meet the KR-9 9mm AK SBR with Zenitco handguard, hand stop and IR/Vis laser. Equipped with a cute little 9mm can and optic. A fun blaster and quickly becoming one of my favorite pistol caliber sub guns.

It may seem counterintuitive to some shooters, but a backup reflex or red dot optic on top of a 1x variable optic does make sense. Competition shooters can transition between close and far targets without having take a hand off to move the magnification ring. Similarly, home defense setups can have optics with two zero distances. The Reptilia RMR mounting options give shooters the ability to put together the perfect setup for their intended uses. Details, links and specifications can be found below.
