This week on TGC News, New stuff from Walther and Pachmayr, Fightlite goes tiny
and more gundustry shake ups.
Welcome back to another episode of TGC News, the only gun news show that covers things
you actually care about, My name is Jon Patton.
It is the last week to enter the ongoing Neomag giveaway where you could win a Neomag shirt
and an actual Neomag, our winner from last week is Katie Willis!
Congrats Katie!
And if you guys out there want to enter to win hit that link down in the description.
It's super easy and it's free.
Now the news.
Let's kick things off with some new products.
First up, Walther is expanding the PPQ line up with the addition of the Q4 TAC model.
Long story short, this thing comes with a 4.6 inch barrel that comes threaded from the
factory, as well as an optic mounting plate pre-cut into the top of the slide.
They've also included a fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear.
And the thing that I find most interesting is the inclusion of 2 recoil springs, one
for unsuppressed shooting and one for suppressed shooting.
Suppressor enthusiasts will know that some guns just do not like to run well with a silencer
hanging out on the muzzle… and sometimes the solution for that problem is getting a
new recoil spring.
Walther is ahead of you on that one.
Other than that, it's a fairly standard PPQ M2.
MSRP on the gun is $799.
Next up is a Pachmayr grip for your small revolver.
Stick with me, this is neat.
One of the biggest complaints about small carry guns is often the fact that people with
larger hands can't fit their pinky on the grip.
This new Guardian Grip seeks to put an end to that.
Long story shorter, the grip has an extension that gets released when you grip the gun and
hit a switch under the trigger guard.
It springs out and allows you to get a full grip on the gun without compromising comfort
or size when carrying.
I would worry about lint or dust piling up in the grip but if you take care of the gun
and regularly practice, that shouldn't be an issue.
Retail on the Guardian Grip is $49.98 and it's currently available for the Ruger LCR
and S&W J frame.
I gotta admit it's one of those, why didn't I think of that products.
The Pachmayr brand has been around for ages so I'm sure it will be good quality as well.
What do you guys think?
If you carry a small gun, would you add something like this?
Sound off with your thoughts in the comments below!
And the gundustry struggle bus keeps rolling news,
Remington has named a new CEO and I
will describe it like this, if Remington is a ship with a hole in it, and that hole is
made up of poor quality control and lack of innovation, well this is like trying to seal
that hole with a dumptruck full of lead.
I'm playing around a little bit because the irony is strong here.
The new CEO of Remington is the former CEO of Taurus, Anthony Acitelli.
Let that sink in.
The guy in charge of the company that brought us such gems as the Curve and the Taurus View,
is now in charge of one of the most historic american gun companies.
I'm not going to pretend like I'm some kind of expert on what it takes to run a company
that big.
I will say though, that I hope he doesn't bring over any cheap nonsense from his former
brand AND I hope that he also can find a way to correct the path that Remington has been
on for the last few years.
Time will tell.
And because of that move from Taurus to Remington, Taurus just named a new CEO.
The now former CFO David Blenker has stepped into the position of leading the brand.
He's been with Taurus for 27 years and 20 of those were as CFO.
I hope that he's able to bring Taurus into new light.
Sure the brand has grown over the years but they've also put out a bunch of junk along
the way.
I'd love to see Taurus go toe to toe with another affordable brand like Ruger but that's
going to take some work.
Let's hope that both of these companies take this as an opportunity to shine.
And now, the silliest new product that is actually somewhat innovative from a company
that makes belt fed uppers for AR15s.
Say hello to the Fightlite Raider.
Essentially they've taken their SCR platform and shortened the crap out of it.
it's got a 7.5 inch barrel in either 5.56 or 300 blackout in a fairly standard AR upper
and a customized pistol grip attached to their SCR type lower.
It's basically like a rifle-version of the ShockWave and Tac14 that we've seen in shotgun
format.
The SCR lower has the trigger set back in a position that's closer to traditional shotguns
and rifles.
I believe this was originally done to get around BS state laws regarding adjustable
stocks.
Either way, the thing that really drew me in here is the way they got this to work.
They took a very old idea from semi auto shotguns and utilized it on the back of an AR15 bolt
carrier that's been chopped in half, see that bar unit, that goes down into the tube that
is inside the pistol grip and that's where your recoil spring is located.
Honestly it's a really neat way to accomplish the goal of making everything smaller and
changing the orientation.
I'm sure this thing is also super light weight because it doesn't have a lot of the traditional
parts that you would normally find on a standard AR.
The only thing that I'm not sold on is the fact that I can't see a practical use for
this.
But hey, I own a Desert Eagle so my say on that topic needs to be taken with a grain
of salt.
They are a tad bit pricey at $869 MSRP, BUT, for a product that doesn't use off the shelf
type parts, I understand why it's priced that way.
What do you guys think?
Would you ever own one of these pistols?
You know it's time for more Friendly Fire questions.
First up, Chad Gray asks, what are the top 3 gunsmith tools every shooter needs to have?
That's a great question.
I'm going to put some links in the description for these because I think it's important.
You need a good set of punches.
You need a good screwdriver set, the one wheeler makes with like 80 pieces is fantastic for
fitting all kinds of different screws.
And finally you need a good torque wrench for mounting optics AND one for torquing down
barrel nuts on an AR.
That's not exactly 3 but that's a good place to start.
And again, there are links in the description so you can see what I'm talking about.
Next up, Andrew Belleperche asks for my thoughts on the 200 dollar budget red dot optics from
companies like Vortex and Holosun.
I think some of them are actually pretty nice for what most guys need.
it's also a great way to get started with an AR and not spend a ton of cash.
In year's past, that type of thing was looked at as junk, but the quality has really come
up in recent years.
I've tried some really high end stuff and there is a slight difference in the optics
and clarity, and build quality but for 200 bucks the value is solid.
