LaserMax Introduces CenterFire WeaponLight for Glock 42
At the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor, Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas in January, LaserMax debuted a new line of weapon-mounted tactical lights to the shooting sports community. Combining high-output LED light with the same precision performance that distinguishes LaserMax patented laser systems, the first model in the line is designed exclusively for the popular Glock 42 semi-automatic pistol. The CenterFire LED WeaponLight puts 100 Lumens of bright white light on target, offering far greater tactical advantage than a handheld flashlight and resulting in faster, more accurate shots. Since the majority of defensive firearm use takes place at night, the new CenterFire™ WeaponLight is a vital addition to the Glock 42 pistol. “We’ve made it our business to find innovative ways to perfect the modern pocket pistol,” stated LaserMax Director of Marketing, Celia Grimes. The new WeaponLight does just that. To make concealed carry even easier, an ambidextrous pocket holster is included in every package. The new light is available now. It includes a high quality American-made pocket holster and retails for $149. Like all LaserMax products, the CenterFire WeaponLight is covered by an industry-leading 5 year warranty.

Black Hills Ammo launches .308-168 Sierra TMK
Last year Sierra and Black Hills Ammunition teamed to offer a significant step forward in ballistics with the introduction of the .308 Tipped MatchKing (TMK) design. Starting with the famously accurate and proven accurate MatchKing design, a polymer tip was added to significantly increase ballistic coefficients. The new tip also meant projectiles were no longer dependent upon bullet yaw for on target performance. This advancement resulted in greatly improved reliability of performance on target, and eliminated the “neck”, or distance the bullet penetrated before performing. The total result is flatter trajectory, more retained energy, less wind deflection and more uniform terminal performance than was ever before available in the MatchKing design. For 2015, Black Hills has added a loading for the .308 in the extremely popular 168-grain bullet weight, as well as a number of other new loadings. The 168-grain is the traditional standard for .308 match and police sniper ammunition. This new projectile in Black Hills ammunition increases the ballistic coefficient (BC) of the bullet from .462 to .535. The effect is higher retained velocity, flatter trajectory, and increased wind performance. For more information, visit Black-Hills.com online or phone: 605-348-5150.
