Looking for a new iron or piece of kit to enhance the one you already own? Check out these 7 new bits of guns and gear to grow your firearms wish list.
The New Guns And Gear:
Nosler ASP Revolver Loads
Nosler’s ASP line of defensive handgun ammo stands for Assured Stopping Power, and the cartridges’ construction using fine Nosler components like the company’s hollow point bullets suggests they live up to their name. Previously only available in autoloading pistol calibers, Nosler recently expanded the line to include three straight-wall revolver calibers as well. These include a 125-grain .38 Special load, a 125-grain .357 Magnum load and a 240-grain .44 Magnum load. If you rely on a wheelgun for defense, you may want to consider loading it with Nosler ASP.
MSRP: $28 for .38 SPL // $29 for .357 Mag. // $32 for .44 Mag. // all per 20-round box
Mossberg 990 SPX SBS
The recent changes in NFA tax stamp pricing have ushered in a new era of factory short-barreled rifle and shotgun options, and one of the coolest to come out this year is from Mossberg. Listed in their catalog as the 990 SPX Magpul Class 3, this 12-gauge semi-auto SBS features a handy 14.75-inch barrel and a capacity of 5+1. As long as you’re willing to do the Form 4 paperwork and wait a little bit, this little shotty with a Magpul stock, M-Lok forend, ghost ring sights and optics-ready receiver may be one of the best new home defense options available.
MSRP: $1,310
Vortex Triumph Red Dot
Good quality red dot sights have become so affordable and prolific these days that there’s less and less reason not to put one on just about every gun you own. If you still have a carbine or PCC in the safe that’s only wearing irons, Vortex’s new Triumph may be worth slapping on it. Very reasonably priced, the Triumph features a 2-MOA red dot reticle, nine daylight brightness levels, two night-vision-compatible levels, motion activation and an automatic shutoff feature after 10 minutes of no movement. For compatibility with a wide range of firearms, each optic ships with a lower-third co-witness mount as well as a low mount.
MSRP: $150
Rugged Suppressors Sub9
MP5s, 9mm ARs and 9mm AKs—PCCs of all stripes are in a bit of a golden age right now. Not only is this class of gun super fun and affordable to shoot, but they also make great home defense options, especially when paired with a suppressor. Rugged’s new Sub9 was tailored specifically to do that job and to do it very well. Full-auto rated and optimized for subguns, the Sub9 uses coaxial chambers to efficiently minimize sound and gas blowback while keeping the overall package compact at just 6.8 inches. It ships with a Rugged Universal 3 Lug mount that can mate with any HK-spec 3-lug system, but it’s HUB-compatible as well to keep mounting options versatile.
MSRP: $950
Magpul Full-Size Ruger RXM Grip
One of the hottest new trends in the handgun space is removable serialized fire control systems for increased modularity. Ruger calls the one in its RXM the Fire Control Insert (FCI), and combined with Magpul’s new frame size options, it’s allowing for some pretty cool things. The standard RXM is Glock 19-sized, but by swapping your FCI into this new full-size Magpul EHG RG9 grip, your RXM will have a G19-length slide on a G17-size frame. This will provide more grip real estate and a cleaner look when running 17-round mags. Speaking of looks, the grip is available in black, FDE, OD green and Stealth Gray.
MSRP: $40
Hogue M-Lok Overmolded Hybrid Forend Grip
When it comes to both handgun and rifle grips, Hogue has long been a go-to option. The company’s overmolded products provide a soft rubber texture that’s easy and comfortable to squeeze hard and get a solid, no-slip purchase on. Now, Hogue is adding the same overmolded grip option for the forend of your AR or other M-Lok compatible firearm. Better yet, it’s not just a simple vertical foregrip; it’s a hybrid design that also allows for a 45-degree hold. The grips are available in black, FDE, OD green and Slate Grey to match the look of your rifle.
MSRP: $40
CCI Blazer Brass Clean-Fire Suppressor Ammo
Whether we’re plinking or training, suppressors make it a better experience. With enough shooting, however, they get dirty and lose effectiveness, and anybody who’s ever cleaned a can will tell you it’s a messy and not fun process. Solution? Shoot the cleanest ammo you can, and CCI has just introduced a new line specifically catered to that purpose. Called the Blazer Brass Clean-Fire Suppressor line, it’s loaded to subsonic velocities and uses clean-burning powder, lead-free primers and TMJ (Total Metal Jacket, meaning the lead core is fully enclosed) projectiles to minimize fouling. The cherry on top is that it meets the power factor requirements for competitive shooting use. Initial load offerings include 147-grain 9mm, 180-grain .40 S&W and 230-grain .45 ACP.
MSRP: $21 for 9mm // $32 for .40 S&W // $36 for .45 ACP, per 50-round box
