Gun Gear USA welcomes Fenix Flashlight -

We are very excited to add the Fenix Flashlight product line to our line-up. I actually saw Fenix flashlights in a retail store and was so impressed I contacted them that night. To my surprise, one of the managers at Fenix got right back in touch with me and in a matter of days, we had product sitting in the store and ready to go.

A couple of things immediately caught my attention with the Fenix Flashlight products -

3. Innovation � Fenix is continually introducing flashlights with more features and advanced design that anyone else.

Magpul

Need a way to attach a sling to the fore-end of your AR 15? Check out the Magpul RSA, Rail Sling Attachment.

The Magpul RSA provides a forward sling attachment point for the Magpul MS2 or MS3 and other clip-in systems. All you need is a small amount of Picatinny rail space for the RSA to mount on.

Get it here � http://www.gungearusa.com/MAGPUL-MAGPUL_RSA_RAIL_SLING_ATTACHMENT.html

Come back for more Magpul products next time.

Magpul (contd.)

Magpul

As we discussed last time, Magpul is well known for innovative products designed for tactical applications, such as the AR 15. The AFG, Angled Fore Grip, is a great example.

At first glance, the Magpul AFG is not something that comes across as particularly useful. It is only when you hold a rifle with the AFG mounted that you understand.

The AFG was designed to accomodate natural body mechanics and offers a VERY comfortable platform. It also perfectly lines up your hand for a pressure switch or other Laser/Light tactical product.

All mounting hardware is included and the AFG easily mounts on a Picatinny Accessory rail.

Get yours here � http://www.gungearusa.com/MAGPUL-MAGPUL_AFG_-_ANGLED_FORE_GRIP.html

Even more Magupul next time!

Magpul Tactical Products (contd.)

Magpul

Although Magpul has many, many fine products designed for the AR 15 and other tactical rifles, the PMAG is likely the most �famous� Magpul product.

The PMAG was introduced during a time that we all considered steel the premier material and plastic as inferior. The PMAG changed that.

Considered by many as virtually indestructible, the PMAG is constructed of an advanced polymer and can take incredible abuse. It is extremely lightweight and corrosion resistant for a LONG life. Maybe most surprising of all, it is no more expensive than other AR 15 mags.

Nikon M-223 Mount

We have been covering the Nikon M-223 series of scopes and I also wanted to show you another product, the M-223 AR 15 Mount.

The Nikon M-223 AR Mount (part #743) is for the M-223 series of scopes and will fit right on a Picatinny or Weaver style base. It is made of lightweight alloy and has a built-in 20 MOA incline for elevation. It has 3 bolts to secure it to the base.

The rings are built into the base and only the top part of the rings come off to allow the scope to be set in the mount.

The Nikon M-223 AR 15 mount is a nice addition for your M-223 scope.

You can find it here -http://www.gungearusa.com/SCOPES_AND_SIGHTS-NIKON_M-223_SCOPE_MOUNT.html

That is it for the Nikon M-223 scope series. I hope you enjoyed taking a look at these fine rifle scopes and please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for reading.

www.Gun GearUSA.com

Nikon M-223 Scope (contd.)

We have covered every scope in the Nikon M-223 series with one exception � the 2.5-10�40 with Laser IRT�that is Immediate Ranging Technology. Wait until you see this.

The Nikon IRT basically has a rangefinder built into the scope! With a touch of the button, the user can get the distance the target is right in the reticle. Then choose the correct circle on the BDC 600 reticle. Oh, did I forget to mention the scope has BDC 600? Yes, not only does this provide the distance to the target, it also has the ballistic circles to use for that specific distance. All without ever taking your eye off the target.

The Nikon One-Touch Laser technology continuously ranged and displays the distance for 12 seconds with a single push of the button.

Other features include the Side Focus Parallex Adjustment.

If you are looking for the ultimate rifle scope for your AR 15, this is the scope to have. It is not cheap, but has so many features to offer and replaces a separate rangefinder.

We have one more item to cover in the Nikon M-223 series and that is a mount designed just for the M-223 scopes. See you next time.

Nikon M-223 Scope (contd.)

This is the last scope in the M-223 series before we look at the truly innovative Nikon Laser IRT.

We jumped up in size last time, with a larger objective lens (42mm) and more power (3-12), with a scope that featured the traditional Nikon Nikoplex reticle. Today we are going to stick with the same features and size, but this model has the BDC 600 reticle, Nikon Model 8489.

As I mentioned before, the BDC 600 has some truly great features to offer the long-range shooter. It is specifically designed for the .223 (5.56mm NATO) with a 55-grain bullet (with polymer tip), and aids the shooter greatly in long distance shooting.

The BDC 600 reticle has open circle aiming points below the center crosshairs used for specific distances all the way out to 600 yards. This unique reticle gives the shooter a tremendous advantage in speed when dialing in those long shots.

It also the SF feature�the SF stands for Side Focus Parallex Adjustment. This feature allows you to adjust for Parallex quickly and easily. Parallex adjustment is handy when shooting at extremely long distances.

Here is a link to the product page for the M-223 3-12x42SF /BDC 600 -http://www.gungearusa.com/Scopes_and_Sights-Nikon_M-223_Riflescope_3-12X42SF_600_BDC.html

One more to go! Please come back and see the last M-223 scope with an incredible feature.

Thanks for reading.

Nikon M-223 Scopes

The next two scopes in the M-223 series get bigger, as in a larger objective lens and more power.

First up is the 3-12x42SF with the Nikoplex reticle. This scope, model #8488, provides the shooter a noticeable difference in long-range shots with a 42mm objective lens and power up to 12X.

As we have mentioned before, the Nikon Nikoplex reticle has thick crosshairs on the outer edge and fine, thin crosshairs in the center. This particular model also has the Rapid Action Turrets. The Rapid Action Turret allows the shooter to use the feature to dial in your elevation from 100 yards to 600 yards in less than one revolution.

It also the SF feature�the SF stands for Side Focus Parallex Adjustment. This feature allows you to adjust for Parallex quickly and easily. Parallex adjustment is handy when shooting at extremely long distances.

A lot of technology in one scope, that sums up the Nikon M-223 #8488. You can find more information for this model here -http://www.gungearusa.com/SCOPES_AND_SIGHTS-Nikon_M-223_Riflescope_3-12x42SF_Nikoplex.html

Two more to go! We have two more scopes in the M-223 series to look at. Next time, we will look at the second most popular scope at Gun Gear USA.

Thanks for reading.

Nikon M-223 Scopes

Today we will look at an extremely popular scope in the M-223 series, the 2-8�32 with a BDC 600 reticle, In fact, this is our most popular scope here at Gun Gear USA.

This scope is basically identical to the scope we reviewed yesterday (the M-223 2-8�32 with Nikoplex) with one exception, the BDC 600 reticle. Specifically designed for the .223 (5.56mm NATO) with a 55-grain bullet (with polymer tip), the BDC 600 aids the shooter greatly in long distance shooting.

The BDC 600 reticle has open circle aiming points below the center crosshairs used for specific distances all the way out to 600 yards. This unique reticle gives the shooter a tremendous advantage in speed when dialing in those long shots.

This scope, model #8487, can be found here. http://www.gungearusa.com/Scopes_and_Sights-Nikon_M-223_Riflescope_2-8X32_600_BCD_Matte.html

More to come!

Nikon M-223 Scopes

Next up in the Nikon M-223 lineup is the 2-8�32 scope. With adjustable power from 2-8 and a 32mm objective lens, this model makes a really nice addition to any AR 15. If you are looking for a flexible option for varying applications, you should review this model.

The model #8486 has the Nikoplex reticle, thick crosshairs on the outer edge and fine, thin crosshairs in the center. This particular model also has the Nikon Rapid Action Turret technology. The Rapid Action Turret allows the shooter to use the feature to dial in your elevation from 100 yards to 600 yards in less than one revolution.

More information can be found here � http://www.gungearusa.com/SCOPES_AND_SIGHTS-Nikon_M-223_Riflescope_2-8x32_Nikoplex.html

Next time we will look at this same scope, but with the BDC 600 feature.

Thanks for reading.

We introduced the very popular Nikon M-223 series of scopes last time and provided an overview of the line-up. We also provided some basic information on the many abbreviations they use for the M-223 scopes. Be sure and take a look if you need any information on those.

In the coming days we are going to look in more detail at each scope in the M-223 series. Today we are going to check out the Nikon M-223 1-4�20 Point Blank scope, model #8485.

This model is specifically designed for close-range shooting, mainly out to 200 yards. The exclusive Point Blank Reticle offers a super wide field of view and quick acquisition for fast and accurate shots. Nikon also suggests this particular model as being ideal for 3-Gun matches.

For more details and specifications for the M-223 #8485, please follow the link below to our product listing. http://www.gungearusa.com/SCOPES_AND_SIGHTS-Nikon_M-223_Riflescope_1-4x20_Point_blank.html

It is no secret that the AR 15 rifle has become extremely popular. It is also no secret that several scope manufacturers have developed products specifically for the AR 15, scopes that are tailored to the .223 bullet trajectory. While there are many, we are going to look in more detail at the Nikon M-223 series of scopes.

Nikon is a name synonymous with quality rifle scopes (Nikon offers a Full Lifetime Warranty on the M-223 Scopes). They have been producing fine scopes for many years. Recently, Nikon introduced the M-223 scope for the AR 15. There are six scopes in the series and all are engineered for one bullet � the .223 (5.56mm NATO) with a 55 grain bullet (polymer tip) sizzling at 3240 fps.

The six scopes in the M-223 series include the following; 2.5-10�40 Laser IRT, 1-4�20 w/Point Blank reticle, 2-8�32 w/Nikoplex reticle, 2-8�32 w/BDC 600 reticle, 3-12x42SF w/Nikoplex, & the 3-12x42SF w/BDC 600 reticle. Before we review each scope in detail, I would like to provide some definitions for Nikon�s abbreviations.

BDC Reticle � the BDC, or Bullet Drop Compensator, reticle is designed for long range shooting. The reticle has additional aim points, in the case for the Nikon M-223 it is circles, along the lower vertical crosshair. The circles are used for specific aiming points on the BDC 600 from 100 to 600 yards.

Nikoplex Reticle � this is the traditional crosshairs, with a bolder and thicker crosshair on the outer edges and a fine, thin crosshair in the center.

SF � The SF stands for Side Focus Parallex Adjustment. This feature allows you to adjust for Parallex quickly and easily. Parallex adjustment is handy when shooting at extremely long distances.

Point Blank Reticle � this reticle uses the traditional crosshairs with a small dot in the center of the crosshair. Mainly used for close-range shooting.

IRT � Immediate Ranging Technology.

As I mentioned, we are going to look at each model in greater detail in the coming days. First up is the Nikon M-223 1-4�20 with Point Blank Reticle, Nikon Model #8485.

See you tomorrow!

Concealed Carry Holsters � Summary

I hope you enjoyed this series on Conceal Carry holsters. We used a limited, but popular, set of pistols for this series and will certainly continue to expand it as more concealed carry pistols are introduced. As always, if you need any help in selecting a holster for your pistol, give us a call or send an email�we are glad to help.

We are expanding our holster brands, so be sure to check back often for new additions. Holsters are very personal and you need to look at several to find the one you like, especially if you are carrying for long periods of time.

We are also partnering with Conceal Carry instructors in our area to stay up to date with the preferred models people are carrying and feedback on the holsters. We welcome yours, too.

Thanks again and look for a new series soon! I got a feeling an AR 15 will be the next focus�what do you think?

Fobus Paddle Holster

The Fobus Paddle Holster also is an option for concealed carry. Some additional measures, such as wearing an untucked shirt or a coat, are necessary though.

The Fobus Paddle Holster is designed to be low profile to aid in concealment. The unique design utilizes retention around the trigger guard, which offers quick draw but also securely retains the weapon. Another great feature of the Fobus holster is its lightweight design.
