#XTechTactical

Reload speed is often a geometry problem as much as it's a training/repition one, and XTech Tactical thinks it's found a cleaner solution than the billet flare kits that have dominated the category. The new X-Flare 556 and X-Flare Digital are glass-filled nylon magwells built specifically for true Mil-Spec AR-15/M4 lowers, promising a funnel opening 1.75 times larger than what a stock lower offers. Installation is only supposed to take a few minutes and typically skips pulling the trigger guard or grip entirely. Sonic-welded steel inserts handle the fastener loads, and the whole unit reportedly adds only about an ounce - all for $40. The Digital variant builds on that base with a customizable marking surface for caliber ID or personalization, which I’m a huge fan of.

Luke C sits down with Jeremy Deadman, President of @Xtechtactical at GunCon to talk through what's new at the company — a fresh line of magazine wells, an expanded SKU list for Glock and Smith & Wesson magazines, and the LDR-2000, a speed loader designed to work across nearly every pistol magazine body size on the market.

I am a huge fan of the Bodyguard 2.0 primarily because it conceals well in virtually any situation. One thing I really don’t like about it is that the magazines are notoriously difficult to load, and if you do any amount of practice, a mag loader is going to save your thumbs and fingers for the shooting, as these mags tend not to break in very much over the course of ownership. XTech has just announced the new LDR2000B1, a new addition to the LDR2000 lineup of affordable mag loaders, that is now specifically catered for the Bodyguard 2.0 and other .380 ACP pocket pistols with similar magazine bodies.

Today, we take some time to catch up with Jeremy Deadman of XTech Tactical. We’re diving deep into the data behind some of his recent successes and failures within the often-volatile firearms industry. We also talk a bit about SHOT Show 2026. The launch of the new LDR™2000 9mm Pistol Magazine Loaders, and of course, XTech's first acquisition: Creature Grips reborn as Thru-Flo Rail Covers. This is a great behind-the-scenes look into how one of the fastest-growing companies in the accessory market is paving its way forward. Please give a warm welcome back to Jeremy Deadman of XTech Tactical.

XTech Tactical, an Arizona company that specializes in injection-molded aftermarket magazine accessories and other related parts, has made its first major acquisition by bringing Creature Grips’ heat-venting rail covers into the fold as the rebranded Thru-Flo™ M-LOK Rail Covers. At just 2 grams per cover with tool-free installation, these M-LOK compatible panels address a common AR builder pain point: balancing grip, heat management, and minimal weight. I’ve been testing out a set of these on the new HP-15 that I’ll be using at Moons Out 2026, so we’ll get to put them to the test real soon!

XTech Tactical's MAG47 lineup has been around for quite a while now and has earned itself a reputation for being a very reliable and durable American-made 7.62x39mm AK-47 magazine. The MAG47 lineup is known for its durable polymer construction combined with very critical steel reinforcements at the feed lips and locking lugs, ensuring solid lockup, fit, and compatibility across a wide array of AK platforms. Already offering popular variants like the standard MAG47 Gen2, the military-grade MAG47 MIL with a solid steel rear lug, and the MAG47 ELITE, XTech Tactical is now expanding its offerings to cater to more aesthetic preferences, like we saw at GunCon 2025. AK nerds can look forward to new "Gold," "Chocolate Chip Camo," and "Marble" MAG47 magazines, bringing unique visual flair to their proven performance. Below is the full press release from XTech Tactical, along with links to each specific product - including 10-round variants for ban states.

While at GunCon 2025, I had the opportunity to interact with some of the attendees, as well as some of the exhibitors at the event. Jeremy Deadman’s products are probably something you’ve seen floating around here on TFB, as well as your local gun stores. Jeremy and his team at XTech are focused almost entirely on aftermarket magazines and extensions, which gives them quite the advantage when it comes to aftermarket magazines and parts. In this episode, we’ll learn how XTech is making new strides into previously untapped markets to help themselves, and hopefully other gun companies, get more exposure on some of the internet’s most popular online marketplaces like Amazon.

Luke C ( BallisticAviation) is at TheGunCollective GunCon 2025 with XTech Tactical's ⁩ Jeremy to talk about their origin story as a company, as well as the type of products that they offer and what you can expect from those products. XTech is almost entirely focused on the production of reliable and unique aftermarket magazines for both rifles (AR-15/AK) as well as popular handguns like the Glock 17/19, SIG P365, and Smith & Wesson Shield. Based in Tempe, AZ, XTech's products are American-made, and aim to exceed factory specifications, and cater to competitive shooters, law enforcement, home defense, and concealed carry enthusiasts. XTech Tactical emphasizes affordability, patented designs, and user-focused innovation, with a mission to create products durable enough to be passed down for generations.
