The SilencerCo Velos LBP 556K: Keep It Quiet and Short
The SilencerCo Velos LBP 556K has hit the market hard and delivered a suppressor perfectly designed for home defense. The LBP 556K is a shorter, lighter sequel to the LBP, released only a few years ago. SilencerCo's original LBP series received a lot of love, but some folks thought it was just a hair too long for home defense, especially on 16-inch rifles. SilencerCo responded by trimming the length of the can from 5.98 inches to 4.76 inches. The weight dropped down to 12.4 ounces, but the LBP 556K maintains a high level of durability compared to the original LBP.

New Nightstick LGL-160-Turbo AR-15 Light: Full Review
The Nightstick LGL-160 weapon light is one of my favorites. It's durable and bright, has a good battery life, and comes with a crazy number of accessories. So, how is the new LGL-160-T different from the standard LGL-160? The difference is in the candelas. While the standard LGL-160 is 1,100 lumens with 22,541 candelas, the LGL-160-T is 800 lumens but a whopping 100,000 candelas.
