Pro-Defense Tactical Fast Pull Pro Review

TacticalFastPull_001Optics blocking the controls on a firearm isn’t a new problem.  Shooters who have spent time behind a scoped lever- or break-action rifle are probably familiar with hammer extensions that let them manipulate the hammer when it is blocked by the scope.  As the popularity of flattop AR-platform rifles has grown over the past decade or so, allowing optics and accessories to be mounted, this problem has manifested there as well.

A good, by-the-book overhand grip on the charging handle can easily be impeded by rail-mounted optics.  Getting an index finger on the latch and pulling from one side might work if you can get to it, but it can also apply undue lateral stress on a stock charging handle designed for the overhand grip.  If you are using your scoped AR for hunting in cooler weather, wearing gloves can add additional complications into the mix.

There are charging handles with extended latches, but they are often quite expensive and are overbuilt to solve problems that many users just don’t need to solve.  That is why the Tactical Fast Pull from Pro-Defense caught our eye at SHOT Show 2015.  The company founder was at the booth to show us the Tactical Fast Pull (shown above) and Tactical Fast Pull Pro.  Following the show, he sent us the Pro kit to try it out for ourselves.

More Lighting Solutions from Elzetta Unveiled at SHOT Show

Elzetta's integrated weapon mount

As in past years, Elzetta brought some new lighting solutions with them to SHOT Show this year.  While stopped at one flashlight vendor’s booth as we roamed the halls of this year’s show, the booth staff asked me if I liked flashlights.  Before I could answer, he immediately answered his own question:  “of course you do, you’re a guy.”  He was probably right, judging from the quantity of lights around here – tucked in drawers, stuck on metal surfaces, hanging from hooks, mounted on firearms, and in pockets or bags for EDC.

Last year Elzetta introduced their 1-cell Alpha model, a prototype belt clip that would facilitate carrying their indestructible torches, as well as new heads with changeable lenses and automatic voltage sensing heads.

This year they didn’t let down lighting enthusiasts.  In collaboration with Impact Weapons Components, they have developed a new integrated weapon-mounted light:  the Mini-CQB Modular Weaponlight.  Based on an Alpha body, the new Mini-CQB weighs in under 5 ounces.  Despite the 1-cell’s dimminutive size, it delivers 315 lumens in a pattern optimized for close quarter engagements.

And since it is based on existing Elzetta lights, the Mini-CQB is compatible with any of six tailcaps to give it rotary, click, high/low, high/strobe, or tape switch functionality.  The Mini-CQB is available with multiple ambidextrous attachment mechanisms to suit most users’ needs, including the A1 model for M-1913 Picatinny rails or the A2 model that is compatible with keymod systems as well as Magpul’s M-LOK system.

Elzetta plans to begin shipping the Mini-CQB in April and is currently accepting pre-orders with prices starting at $210 for the A1 model with rotary tailcap.

SilencerCo Handed Best Booth Award at SHOT 2015

SilencerCoBooth_01SilencerCo, the industry leader in silencers and accessories, was awarded Best Booth at SHOT Show 2015 by prominent firearms marketing agency Primer Strategy. SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade) Show is the firearms industry’s largest annual tradeshow, bringing nearly 70,000 people to Las Vegas each January.

The accolade was given to recognize SilencerCo’s enclosed art gallery-style installation, which used 10 striking gallery wrapped portraits and more than 20 silenced firearms to kick off a yearlong protest theme – #FightTheNoise. The attention to detail employed the use of pasted playbills and posters affixed to an exposed brick façade – all to illustrate the gritty, street-worn feel made iconic by many of the most successful social movements of the past century.

“While walking the SHOW Show floor we noticed a sea of repetition and lack of evolution from year to year – the same booths, same looks and same ideas,” said Katie Perrine, president of Primer Strategy. “Then we saw SilencerCo’s design and had to stop for a closer look. It really embodied what Primer sees as the new direction of the firearms industry – strong, creative, unconventional designs without fear of breaking traditions.” Continue reading

SHOT Show Range Day 2015 – What You Missed

IMG_1946The end (of January) is nigh, and that means that we are wrapping up another SHOT Show – the National Shooting Sport Foundation’s annual Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show which showcases the best new innovations that the industry has to offer.  As in past years, the GunLink crew spent an action packed week-long stint in Las Vegas to cover the show – from the live fire demos of SHOT Show Range Day right through all four days of walking the 640,000 square feet of show floor to visit the more than 1,600 exhibitors.  If you didn’t make it to the Range Day, here is what you missed.

Designing Your Own Custom Case with MyCaseBuilder

MCB DesignerLast year, we wrote about our SHOT Show visit with MyCaseBuilder and how they make custom cases easy.  The foam case inserts that they had in their booth and Steve’s big-screen demo both told a story about the quality and ease of creation of custom foam, but I wanted to get my hands on one to check it out for myself.  There are myriad shapes and sizes of Pelican cases, OEM gun cases and other cases around GunLink HQ, but I thought that we should start small for our first custom case, so I got to work on designing some custom case from for a Pelican 1170 pistol case for transporting a Glock pistol (if you don’t already have a case, MyCaseBuilder can send your made-to-order foam in a brand new case).

The design tool is easy to use and is pre-populated with many existing shapes for various firearms, firearm accessories, electronics, camera equipment and more.  The Glock 19 shape library includes shapes for the pistol and magazines, in various configurations, and with or without finger notches to make it easier to pull the items out of the form-fitting foam.  For this case, I started with the G19 pistol with finger notches.  I modified the shape with custom cut-outs to accommodate the pistol and sights with the slide partially rearward (so that it can be cased with a chamber flag inserted) as well as a threaded barrel.   Continue reading
