Mossberg was really drawing traffic at the Shot Show and seems to have done an excellent job at their modular system.  The Flex System allows the end user to swap parts out to meet the given task.  They have created a number of configurations for home defense, law enforcement, hunting, sporting, and many more.

If you like having a rail system that reaches the end of your AR type rifle but have a front sight post you do not want to saw off, this new battle rail system from Troy allows you to keep your front post and add the rail.  It is a huge benefit when grabbing a hot rifle, and allows the operator to focus on threats instead of a hot barrel.

With so much muscle memory that goes into shooting it is a surprise it took this long for shotgun manufactures to catch on to the niche in creating magazine fed shotguns that use the same type of controls as either an M16 or AK style rifle. 

We expect to see sales in both Akdal, and Saiga this year and hope to add a few test rifles to our arsonal of innovative guns this year.

Anything Magpul is typically awesome, especially when the price is below $20.00.  This hand stop can be added to the bottom rail of your gun and will help prevent slipping when you head out on those rainy days to qualify or handle a threat.

Plenty of gun manufactures have taken a stab at the self defense gun market and failed miserably.  Heizer will be taking a different approach and judging the traffic at the Heizer booth and conversations with gunsmiths, this gun is aiming for success in 2012.

Is it possible to make one of the best optics on the market better, our answer is yes.  Trijicon took their battle tested Trijicon Acog back to the shop and said how can we make this better..the answer is add a system that will allow the optic to gain 12,000 hours of additional backup power to illuminate the dot when lighting conditions are less than ideal.

If you take nothing else away from this list please consider this item.  Armor helps officers, home owners, and would be victims protect vital organs and will stop heavy caliber rifle rounds.  The stystem is "ready to go" and has an MSRP of $399.00 with the armor plates already installed.  This should be in the trunk of every police car regardless of size, and we have found it to be effective even at home.  Imagine you hear someone in your home, and you grab a gun, but have no ballistic protection, place to put your gun, or restraints to secure the person if they decide to give up...This plate carrier will give you piece of mind and then some.

If you decide on getting a plate carrier and want something simple to help keep your ammo, this system available at Shellback Tactical slips on the front of any M.O.L.L.E. system carrier (see US Palm above) and gives you 3 extra mags of your duty weapon as well as 3 mags for your AR type rifle.  The pistol mags are held in place with the assistance of a magnetic bottom, and we have yet to have a problem with our unit.

Check out our services, and look for some group photo shots as soon as we can get all of our cops in the same room!

As most tactical companies are in route to this years SHOT SHOW, many anxiously wait to see which new products will catch the spotlight for innovation.  We had the opportunity to get an inside track on a few and wanted to give our readers a sneak peak. 

This month EOTECH is releasing the first ever Integrated Fore-end Light (IFL).  The light is activated by a pressure pad, and is going to be available in either 125 or 200 lumens.  The LED bulb is powered by a single CR123 battery and can be changed without removing the Fore-end.

Initial offerings will be available for MOSSBERG 500/590 and REMINGTON 870, and will cost approximately $269.00.  To find information and release dates visit http://www.eotech-inc.com/

If your a federal, state, or local law enforcement agency you can submit an acquisition for surplus military vehicles, weapons, and gear.  The unusual amount of quality HMMWV's are due to an overwhelming shift of branches to utilize the MRAP which provides a safer platform for IED explosives.   

In addition to low mileage vehicles, the military also has high caliber sniper rifles, personal protection equipment, and endless pallets of gear that can utilized by law enforcement agencies.  There are a few hoops to jump through to pick the gear up, but clicking a few links and faxing a few forms is certainly worth a vehicle that can handle storm details and rescue work for many years to come.

Here is the scenario, you get home from working a long shift and as usual you cannot sleep.  You hear a window break and instantly know someone is inside of your home by the sound of footsteps.  As the steps get closer to your bedroom, what is your plan?  Many people across America have firearms secured in a safe that may not be immediately accessible.

This safe solves that and allows any homeowner to keep both a long gun and hand gun readily accessible from your bed.  In our scenario you in all likelihood could roll out of bed and grab the handgun, allow your significant other if you have one to wait on the side of the bed near the shotgun while calling 911.

The AMSEC Defense Vault (shown above) utilizes valuable space under a bed to store firearms on a unique slide out tray allowing for easy access in the dark.  Aside from easy access the panel is illuminated, and mounting brackets allow you to secure it in virtually any configuration. 

Look for more in the coming months on this vault, but we can already see a tremendous value in having this vault, a 12 gauge home defense shotgun, and a high capacity .45 handgun.

Back by popular demand the Spyderco Yojimbo 2 sees a revision and improves qualities which were some of the best in the industry already.  The knife meets the contour of your hands very well, and the ergonomics of this particular knife is natural to work with.

The blade portion of the knife is a straight edge and access is gained from a large thumb hole.  The blade length is 3.11 inches and the overall length is 7.55 inches when open. Spyderco has become known for quality knives and this revision is another sign of Spyderco's dedication to continually make their great knives even better.

The days of shooting at paper targets from the 15 yard line are dissolving.  Similar to the days when agencies realized the effectiveness of carrying semi-automatics as primary duty weapons, firearm instructors are seeing tangible results by evolving training tactics for range training.

The MOTO SHOT system shown above is remotely operated, portable, and capable.  It brings a real world scenario to the officers being trained, and helps them maintain current tactics.  The system can be manipulated to meet the needs of the scenario, and the bad guy (target) can be configured to drop when hit with shots.

If you like to see what goes bump in the night, or do not want to answer the door for safety reasons, this camera may be just the solution.  2MCCTV is a distributor for all types of residential and commercial camera equipment and offers this great package that can be hooked directly to a television.

If you have a need to go from practical to tactical in moments, we have the solution for you.  The ARES team has created a Rapid Armor Deployment (R.A.D.) pack that transitions a backpack to a full armor system capable of holding a firearm.
