Lots of new products are expected to be showcased at this year’s SHOT Show. One of which is the new Vortex Micro6x. This new optic will be at home on carbines hosting red dots and holographic sights, and allows you to go from 1x immediately to 6x with a simple flip. MSRP is currently listed at $549.99.

In an industry where it sometimes seems that we’ve seen it all, something as familiar as a suppressor rarely elicits a double-take, but such is the case for the suppressors, rifles, and accessories of X2 Development Group. We recently sat down with Ernie Bray, the company’s founder, to discuss his innovations and what inspires him to think outside-the-box.
After seeing a photo of a TacomHQ Alpha TARAC on a rifle and not knowing exactly what it was, we decided to reach out to the company that makes it to learn more. John Baker, owner, and founder of TacomHQ discusses just what the Alpha TARAC is, and why it might make sense to pair one with your red dot optic or LPVO.
We recently sat down with Bill Wilson, founder of Wilson Combat, about his company’s history with the AR platform. While perhaps best known for handguns, Wilson Combat is also known for its high-quality, duty-grade rifles in a wide variety of calibers.
We recently sat down with Michael Branson of Swampfox Optics to learn more about some of the company’s offerings, including the Swampfox Arrowhead LPVO. We learned a bit about the optic’s origins, pros and cons, details on the 1-10x offering, and more.
With the announcement of the Holosun A.E.M.S. or the Advanced Enclosed Micro Sight, we reached out to Steve “Yeti” Fisher of Sentinel Concepts, who has been using the new LED optic for several months. Fisher is our go-to source to learn about upcoming optics, and we wanted to get his first, but certainly not final, impressions of the new optic, learn about some of the features, and what firearms he feels the optic would be suited for.
For many shooters looking for a relatively inexpensive red dot optic for their handgun or an offset red dot for their AR, a name that comes up is Holosun. The optics are often selected for their lower cost vs. U.S.-made optics, while still having a reputation for being reasonably well-made.
