This 1-6×24 Rifle Scope is assembled for Brownells in Japan, using glass with multicoated lenses and a glass etched reticle. Precise elevation and windage mechanisms adjust in 0.1 MIL increments and have 40 MILs of adjustment range each. Turrets are capped to prevent unwanted changes. Forgiving eye relief of 3.5 inches and eye box permit firing even from unique shooting positions.

But the company assures that the assembly of this scope is meticulous. The dual reticle has the convenience of the FFP reticle scale which magnifies and reduces according to the magnification and the usability of the SFP reticle with the constant thickness of the line as the magnification changes. The daylight bright fiber dot illumination on the Second Focal plane can be used as a dot sight.

Comp-Tac CT3 Level III Duty Holster
The Comp-Tac CT3 is a Level 3 holster that uses friction, an ejection port lock, and a hood that must be released before the firearm can be drawn. The CT3 is designed with the intent that a master grip is achieved before fully withdrawing the weapon. This, according to the company, combined with the autolocking ejection port lock and the intuitive self-activated hood system makes this one of the fastest Level 3 holsters available on the market today. This holster is available for fits with lights and in fits without lights.

The Stow-N-Go’s open top provides a fast draw, while the reinforced mouth makes for a smooth return to the holster after the gun’s been drawn. The sturdy nylon belt clip attaches securely yet offers quick and easy on-off capability. Vertical orientation gives the option of strongside or appendix carry versatility to meet the needs of a broad range of gun carriers.
Comp-Tac Dual Carry Holster (DCH)
The Dual Concealment Holster, or the “DCH”, is the best solution for users who need versatility in their carry methods, according to Comp-Tac. This holster offers both IWB (Inside-the-Waistband) and OWB (Outside-the-Waistband) options for wear.

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hammer Bismuth-Steel Dove Loads
New HEVI-Hammer loads are superior non-toxic shotshells for areas where lead is prohibited or for the environmentally conscious hunter. According to HEVI-Shot, the bismuth-enhanced steel loads provide hunters with an option that had more velocity and more power than just standard steel shot yet is the same size as steel respectively. Because HEVI-Hammer pellets feature a layer of 9.6 g/cc Bismuth, hunters can generally shoot one shot size smaller than steel for the same lethality, but with a much higher pellet count for increased probability of contact.[Photo courtesy of Hevi-Shot]

Elite Iron ASSET Suppressor
The new patented ASSET suppressor is all-modular in design and is available in .30 cal and .375 cal. Titanium, aluminum, and 4140 heat-treated construction give the ASSET a rugged yet lightweight feel.

The ASSET .375 cal weighs 40 oz. complete with the brake, 32 oz. at 1st stage with brake, and 27 oz. at 1st stage with the castle nut.

Patti Miller is one of the most awesome females in the tactical/firearm (or any) industry. Imagine a tall, hawt, dangerous Laura Ingalls Wilder type with cool hair and a suppressed blaster and you'll be getting the idea. What's interesting is that in addition to being a willing brawler and intrepid adventuress, she's also an Ent/Ogier level gardener and a truly badass baker.
