KRISS launches the Vector “Enhanced” Series for its line of .45ACP firearms featuring new customization options and Magpul Accessories.
January 14, 2014 – Las Vegas, Nevada, United States – The KRISS Vector Enhanced Series is comprised of the Vector CRB and SBR models equipped with an M4 stock adaptor, Magpul UBR stock and MBUS flip sights. The scheduled release date for the Enhanced Series is set for Q2 with an MSRP targeted at $1,995.00.
The Magpul stock and MBUS sights give the Vector a similar feel to the ubiquitous AR-15. The stock adaptor, which makes the attachment of the UBR stock possible, will be available for sale separately and allows for a new avenue of customization for the Vector. Magpul MBUS Sights equipped on the Enhanced Series were designed specifically to match the Vector’s unique shape.
According to KRISS USA Marketing Manager Tim Seargeant, the Enhanced Series will feel familiar to more shooters, making it easier to adapt to the Vector’s futuristic design, and is now more customizable.
“The KRISS Super V technology inside the Vector is designed to enhance shooting performance by mitigating recoil forces. Magpul products aim to enhance shooting performance through external upgrades. The Vector with Magpul accessories is a great pairing.” Seargeant adds.

Kel-Tec is releasing this bullpup rifle, the M43, next year. It’s a wood-and-metal variant of the brand new polymer RDB carbine, both chambered for 5.56. The M43’s design is intended to resemble 1940s firearms technology. It features an adjustable gas piston operation and full ambidextrous controls; brass ejects downward, behind the magazine. Unlike its polymer brother,the M43 features no rails and isn’t suppressor ready. Instead, it has folding iron sights to complement its wood handguard, pistol grip, and stock. Another small difference is the folding charging handle on the M43, compared to the fixed handle on the RDB.

A brief video of my time at Vegas Indoor Skydiving.
Taken from three different events, this video is a compilation of all the firearms I got to try out during SHOT week.
This is a video combining all the footage I managed to capture (using my iPhone) at the 14th annual Wilson Family Fishing Trip (the Crye Precision yearly party) chariot races. All but the second-to-last race is featured, and *spoiler alert* Oakley takes home the Golden Helmet for the year.
Good luck trying to catch one, though.

Stumbling upon the Galco booth, I came across these mementos from the Travolta/Cage blockbuster ‘Face/Off’.
The Trijicon ACOG 3×30 with 300 AAC Blackout reticle features a battery-free, self-illuminated reticle with a ballistic drop compensator for both supersonic and subsonic rounds. One of its key features is the Bindon Aiming Concept, which allows for both-eyes-open shooting. The reticle utilizes standard 16 inch barrel velocities and is designed to be calibrated with supersonic (115 gr.) ammo using a zero of 100 yards.
This is an image of the reticle used by the .300 BLK ACOG.
Black Rain Ordnance is expanding their line of rifles to include the AK-derivative Freedom Fighter in 7.62×39. Its features include a free float quad rail fore end, ambidextrous selector switch, rubberized pistol grip, and a Magpul UBR stock. It’s being displayed at the booth in two color options: a light, steel gray and olive drab. Also worth mentioning is the weight, as in its current form its a pretty hefty beast, especially in the fore end. Still in the prototype stage, Black Rain plans to release it later this year.
