XS^® Sights is pleased to introduce the R3D 2.0 Tritium Night Sights. These new and improved second generation and post-ritio R3D notch sights are designed to provide gun owners with a brighter, stronger set of self-defense sights that are even easier to install than the original models and are built to withstand years of use. EDC use and abuse.

Designed to push focus down, the new R3D 2.0 sights feature significant improvements over their gen 1 counterpart. The two rear tritium dots are larger and brighter than those on the original R3D. The new sights also have a PVC ring that surrounds the taillights for a more defined edge to improve sight imaging and further differentiate the forward point of the taillights. The rear sight is also darkened and notched to reduce glare. When combined with the high-contrast orange or green dual-illumination photoluminescent Glow Dot front sight with a tritium vial, the R3D 2.0 provides more visible indexing for precise alignment. This front sight is wider than many on the market, 0.145”, and its Glow Dot activates after absorbing ambient light to glow in low light, while the tritium lamp is self-luminous, glowing in little to no light for 12 years.

Say goodbye to filing and hammering. New EasyPress features built into the dovetail of the R3D 2.0 rear sight eliminate these steps. XS has combined a crush zone with a leading edge which reduces the force required for installation by up to 50%. The directional cable allows the scope to be pressed more than 1/3 of the way through the dovetail of the slide before making full contact. Once full contact is established between the sight wall and the dovetail, the crush zone begins to collapse, making final installation easier. The new sights also have a BlackNitride finish with twice the corrosion resistance of the original black oxide surface treatment.

“The R3D 2.0 night sights are the best choice for those looking for advanced precision and accuracy in their everyday pistols. Installing them is very easy with a sight pusher and once in place they will withstand years of use,” said Addison Monroe, XS Sights Marketing Manager. “R3D 2.0 is the brightest notch and post option available. These sights are designed to line up quickly and accurately, especially in low light conditions, making them ideal for people who rely on their firearms for self defense in any situation.”

The new R3D 2.0 scopes are currently available for the following:

glock:

• All models: standard height and suppressor height

SOUTHWEST:

• M&P/M&P 2.0 Standard Models (Novak-Style Rear Sight) – Standard Height

CNC machined at XS’s Ft. Worth, Texas, these rugged R3D 2.0 sights are designed to stay on your weapon, after drops and countless rounds fired.

Internal Cerakote Now Offered by C&H Precision

As gun owners seek customization for their pistols, access to qualified gunsmiths can become more difficult. While a singular gunsmith may specialize in a specific customization aspect, very few can provide a wide range of precise and difficult upgrades for a pistol. This is where C&H Precision is leading the way.

C&H Precision has begun offering Cerakote finishes for pistol slides in its growing list of available customizations. Available in OD Green (ODG), Grey, FDE, and Black, C&H Precision’s Cerakote makes it easy to make your pistol what you really want. This expansion of custom colors and finishes adds to the full list of offerings available from the C&H Precision shop.

Optical cutouts and adapter plates have long been C&H Precision’s bread and butter. Earlier this year, the introduction of proprietary optics meant customers no longer needed to search for a quality optics manufacturer for their new slider cut. With new finishing options, customers can take a standard or ‘raw’ gun and make it perfect the first time with just a shipping label.

Starting at $60 with a 1-2 week lead time, C&H Precision Cerakote enhances the look of your pistol while increasing durability and resistance to scratches and corrosion.

C&H Precision Weapons (CHPWS) is a small family owned and operated business serving the shooting community from our shop in Richmond Hill, Georgia.

The Ohio Triple Crown Match is waiting for its first champion. To win the Triple Crown, a competitor must win at all three competition sites: the Cardinal 4Gun Match at the Cardinal Center in Marengo from July 1-5; the Canton-McKinley Regional Match at the Canton-McKinley Rifle and Pistol Club in Canton from July 7-9; and the National Matches at Camp Perry in Port Clinton from July 10-15. The event is organized by the Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association (ORPA).

The Ohio Triple Crown is an aggregate match derived from the top three 2700 pistol matches in the state. No one has yet won the Triple Crown, now in its third year, but even if there is no Triple Crown Champion, competitors can still walk away with cash prizes.

The competitor who has the highest grand total of the three combined scores of 2700, but has not won all three matches, will be named Grand Total Winner. Competitors can also win with the highest aggregate score in their individual classes. The classes are High Master, Master, Expert, Sharpshooter, and Marksman. This is where this match gets really fun as you are only competing against your classmates.

“It’s not just for the elite shooter,” said Mt. Vernon’s Dane Hogle, who has been competing in the Triple Crown since its inception. “It’s for all classes.”

To qualify for prizes, competitors must pay a $50 entry fee and shoot in all three matches. Competitions at each site will require 90 rounds each using a .22 pistol, a .32 to .45 pistol, and a .45 pistol.

In addition to testing their skills in popular matches, competitors will also have the opportunity to visit three of the best shooting locations in the state.

Cardinal Center Pistol Range, located at 3547 County Road 225 in Marengo near Columbus, has partnered with the Ohio Department of Resources and the Ohio Division of Wildlife to promote shooting sports throughout the state.

“The Cardinal Center is one of the top three ranges for pistols,” said Jim Henderson, who is the pistol manager at the Cardinal Pistol Range and the CMP pistol coordinator. “It has nearly 600 camping spaces, 35 action pistol bays, and a 100-point turn target range that has target lines at 25 yards and meters, 50 yards and meters, and finally 100 yards.”

The Canton-McKinley Rifle and Pistol Club at 5527 Tyro St. NE in Canton is nearly a century old.

The club was formed in 1926 and is a CMP affiliated club with over 1000 members and 30 years of experience.

Camp Perry in Port Clinton is a National Guard training facility and home to National Matches since 1906 and the CMP Gary Anderson Center of Competence and CMP’s Petrarca Range, which is equipped with state-of-the-art Kongsberg Target System technology. Camp Perry sits on the shores of Lake Erie, which offers water activities such as boating, fishing, and island hopping.

Organizers of the Ohio Triple Crown hope the first winner will be awarded this year during the third game of the competition at Camp Perry. Weapons manufacturer, Accuracy X, has added an extra incentive to the competition.

“Accuracy X will give $3,000 to the Triple Crown winner,” Henderson said.

Hogle is grateful that Henderson helped institute the Triple Crown in Ohio.

“Instead of everyone going to one game, they can come to the state of Ohio and film the three biggest games in the US in less than two weeks,” he said.

The Triple Crown creates a unique challenge for shooters.

“Anyone can go and shoot a good match, but to win the Triple Crown, you have to shoot all three,” Hogle said. “It’s kind of the latest of the latest.”

Hogle said that the Triple Crown is like running a marathon.

“Everybody shows up at Cardinal, and then it’s basically 18 days of nothing but gunshots and camaraderie,” he said. “It’s an excellent two weeks.”

London-based gunsmith John Rigby and Co. has collaborated with specialists from firearms importer Sell-In-Swiss to create an exceptional collection of limited-edition rifles that pays homage to Switzerland and the famed precision of the Swiss 7.5×55 caliber. . The series is limited to just 52 pieces in total, the idea being that two of these rifles will be created for each of the famous 26 cantons of Switzerland.

The design is derived from Rigby’s legendary Highland Stalker rifle, echoing its elegance and simplicity, but the aesthetics and features mark the Swiss Rigby Rifle as a truly unique firearm. As with all Rigby rifles, indicated by the “fit for purpose” mantra, the Swiss Rigby rifle embodies ruggedness, precision and functional reliability in a rifle any discerning hunter would be proud to carry.

The famous Swiss 7.5×55 caliber combined with an open sight and a rear diopter make this weapon shoot with extreme precision and can shoot from 300m without difficulty. 300 m is the standard length of a Swiss shooting range. Individual rifles in the series are numbered on the magazine floor, which also shows the caliber and the “Swiss Limited Edition” designation. This design will never be reissued and is not included in the Rigby catalog. You’re really limited to these 52 pieces, and there are already plenty of famous names from the hunting world lining up to take a closer look.

Each Swiss Rigby rifle will be delivered in a beautiful handcrafted gun case which not only keeps the rifle safe when stored but also looks great in any gun room. The interior and exterior design and the colors of the box have been meticulously chosen to ensure that the box is a totally new design, which marks the importance of this collection.

Since the company was founded in 1775, all firearms produced by John Rigby & Co. have been registered in Rigby’s famous directory. The famous London Best, the incredible big game calibers for which Rigby is known and loved throughout the world. Each gun represents hundreds, sometimes thousands, of hours of painstaking work by the talented gunsmiths and engravers in Rigby’s workshop. Rigby’s ledger is now a piece of history, and anyone lucky enough to be able to look through its pages will discover prestigious names like Jim Corbett, Winston Churchill, and various members of different royal families. The purchase of a Swiss Rigby rifle will grant 52 lucky people the privilege of seeing their name included in a piece of living history.

In addition to having their name handwritten in that famous ledger and owning a limited edition Rigby rifle, every Swiss Limited Edition owner will also become a member of an exclusive new club from the moment their rifle is ordered. The private Swiss Rigby Club is only for those 52 Swiss Rigby owners and will be a meeting point for people who are passionate about hunting, that famous Swiss caliber and Rigby as a brand. The club will be a forum for members to share where they have hunted with their rifle and where they plan to take it next, trading stories of cunning, daring and success! There will be sports challenges complete with congratulations and trophies for the winners, and even an exclusive collection of members’ clothing complete with the iconic Rigby ‘double-R’ branding.

Marc Newton, Managing Director of John Rigby and Co. comments: “Rigby is known around the world for our superb game rifles and our rich heritage in gun making, and we have made many rifles for Africa, India and more locally. , Scotland. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to collaborate with Sell-In-Swiss on this project and to expand into new territories and calibres. I am immensely proud of what our gunsmiths have produced here and I know these rifles will be treasured by their owners and taken to some of the most spectacular corners of the world for the job they were created for – hunting. Only this collection of 52 pieces will exist. Once the mold is broken, we will never do this again.”

The Rowdy was an exciting release from Bond Arms® in 2022 and has quickly become a staple in the brand’s lineup. Bond continues to develop the design in a new, modernized version called the Rowdy XL. New for 2023, the Rowdy XL features a larger size, a more user-friendly design, and all the power one could ask for in a double-barreled pistol.

The Rowdy XL is a simple design packed with features and potential uses. Constructed with rugged, upgraded construction, the Rowdy XL is sure to perform and deliver in high-stress environments as well as at the range. Coming in 410/45 Colt, it’s a perfect companion pistol or standalone defense tool.

The 3.5-inch barrel has been beefed up compared to the original Rowdy, though the larger design won’t sacrifice exceptional accuracy. The overall finish is slightly off and does not have a hand polished finish. This not only reduces glare, but also saves production costs. These savings therefore trickle down to the consumer!

The most drastic change to the overall design is the addition of a B6 grip. It’s a thicker grip for more hand contact and an extended grip placement for full finger placement. The B6 not only helps mitigate recoil through the rubber construction, but is a durable material suitable for a wide range of environments.

As with most Bond offerings, the barrel has two chambers, one above and one below. Overall, it measures 5.75 inches and weighs 22 ounces. It is not a lightweight pistol, and because of this, it is excellent at handling the full power of a standard Colt 410 and 45 round. Bond makes sure the shooter knows they are ready to fire with a reliable 7lb trigger, but protected by the integrated trigger guard. If the 410/45Colt isn’t the best choice for your target, swap the barrel with Bond’s ability to change barrels and chambers quickly and efficiently.

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas, and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the best in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the Texas Armory name, the company was incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a reliable modern pistol. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers and the entire pistol is constructed entirely of stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that is strong and durable.
