Month: January 2023

The SHOT (Shooting Hunting Outdoor Tradeshow) Show is our annual industry convention. Specifically, it gives firearms industry professionals the opportunity to see what’s new from their favorite manufacturers. Held the third week of January in Las Vegas, this year’s meeting had over 52,000 attendees and over 2500 exhibitors. Among the products offered were some of the best holsters in the industry. So, I rounded up some of my favorites.

The Best Holsters of SHOT Show 2023

The show covered miles and miles of floor space. This was the second year that exhibitors expanded over to the Caesar Forum after all of the space at the Venetian Expo were full.

Las Vegas was unusually cold this year. In fact, the blowing wind and rain made the walk from my hotel to the convention center uncomfortable. But the highlight of this event is the opportunity to see old friends that I have made in 30 years as a gun writer.

I am blessed, in fact, to have so many wonderful acquaintances, and it was nearly impossible to walk from Point A to Point B without being stopped by someone I have shared a range, campfire, or event with.

In no particular order, here are some of the holster highlights that I found at the 2023 SHOT Show!

Alien Gear

Alien Gear, a division of Tedder Industries, is really coming on strong of late. I had the opportunity to visit their factory in December of 2022 in Post Falls, Idaho. Housed in a huge building that had previously been an outlet mall, the facility has plenty of room. The space was well utilized for executive offices, a retail facility, engineering, and an elaborate research and development lab.

I had the opportunity to see first-hand forming machines for holsters as well as their injection molding machines. Alien Gear is a completely vertical company. I became a big fan when I had the chance to test their Rapid Force Level 3 Drop Leg holster.

Secure, comfortable, and well-designed the rig is drawing a lot of attention from police departments across the nation. This includes one very large, trend-setting agency in southern California. But Alien Gear is probably better known for their CCW solutions designed for the responsible concealed carrier.

Alien Gear Roswell

At the 2023 SHOT Show Alien Gear introduced their new Roswell line of Appendix Inside The Waistband (AIWB) and Outside the Waistband (OWB) holsters. Made from proprietary injection molded polymer, the new holsters claim to be 20% lighter, 40% tougher, and 80% more heat resistant than Kydex!

Alien Gear includes a claw and wedge kit, ensuring the Roswell AIWB stays close to the body for better concealment. There’s even an optional Micro red Dot hood to protect your optic. Boasting a price of under $40, the Roswell is currently available for 20 different popular CCW guns. It’s also available in right- or left-hand draw.

For more information, please visit AlienGearHolsters.com.

Alien Gear Photon

Also unveiled at SHOT 2023 was Alien Gear’s new Photon Holster, an amazingly versatile holster that is packed with features! It is completely ambidextrous and can be worn IWB as well as OWB. In addition, it is compatible with a light-equipped gun and is cut for an optic.

It has an open bottom to accommodate threaded muzzles and will work with guns equipped with suppressor height sights. The holster can be adjusted for ride height, cant, and retention, and a sidecar magazine carrier can also be attached to the Photon.

Barranti Boot Holster

Earlier this year, I had the chance to evaluate the Bond Arms Stinger. It’s a neat two-shot derringer with modern updates to make the gun safe to carry concealed. Gordon Bond sent me both .380 ACP and 9mm Stingers with the advice to practice with the .380 but carry the 9mm.

There is a substantial difference in recoil between the two calibers. The 9mm is not unbearable, but the recoil is brisk! Most folks will carry these little guns as a backup piece or backup to their backup. Their diminutive size makes them perfect for deep concealment.

Mike “Doc” Barranti is a fan of the Stingers and devised a holster for it to be worn inside the cowboy boot. The holster features a rough-out finish and an Ulti Clip to hold the holster firmly on the boot. Doc wet molds the holster to lock on the gun’s trigger guard for retention.

Called The Boot, Barranti also makes it for S&W J frame revolvers and the Ruger LCP II Max. Prices start at $75.

For more information, please visit BarrantiLeather.com.

Bravo Concealment LINKed Holster

I’ve been a fan of Bravo Concealment products for several years now. Their products are always well-finished, designed for secure and rigorous carry without sacrificing comfort. They are also economical!

New for 2023 is their LINKed Holster, which combines an IWB Torsion holster with an easily accessible magazine pouch. The angling of the mag carrier and flexible attachment to the Torsion holster make this a very comfortable rig. Bravo also adds a detachable wing to press the gun’s grip into the wearer’s body to prevent printing.

Priced at a very sensible $63.39, the LINKed holster has a 30-day money-back guarantee and an unlimited lifetime warranty.

For more information, please visit BravoConcealment.com.

Comp-Tac QD Holster

For SHOT 2023, Comp-Tac introduced the QD holster, which comes in 4 sizes and accommodates approximately 90% of the most popular CCW guns on the market. The QD features an aircraft-grade Kydex construction for a smooth and unimpeded presentation. Additionally, the QD comes equipped with both an OWB paddle and an IWB waistband clip.

The versatile holster is also completely ambidextrous and available in black, coyote brown, and OD green! Suggested retail price is just $49.

For more information, please visit Comp-Tac.com.

DeSantis Persuader

Gene DeSantis is an old and valued friend of mine. It was a great pleasure to visit with him and his booth. We spent time showing each other pics on our phones of grandchildren, but when it came time to “talk business,” I was handed off to his son Chad who now handles the lion’s share of running DeSantis Holsters.

New for 2023 is the DeSantis Persuader™, a thermoformed polymer IWB with a carbon fiber finish. It’s available with a multi-cant center clip or with tuckable C-Clips. The holster uses DeSantis’ ARW™ (Anti-Rotation Wedge) to pull the gun butt close to the body. Additionally, you can attach the available Persuader mag pouch to the holster body for a quick and accessible reload.

DeSantis offers the Persuader for multiple popular carry guns, from Sig’s P365 and Springfield Armory’s Hellcat up to Glock G19 and S&W M&P9 size guns. Priced at $64.99, the DeSantis Persuader offers concealed carriers and law enforcement officials an affordable and comfortable concealed carry solution!

For more information, please visit DeSantisHolster.com.

Galco Big Iron

Revolvers are coming back in a huge way, and one Great American Leather Company is ready to meet the needs of round-gun shooters. Mike Barham, Galco’s Media Relations person, showed me their newest holster called the Big Iron.

Designed for S&W’s “N” frame revolvers, the belt holster features premium steer hide construction. Likewise, a smooth leather lining offers super-slick presentations. There is a snapping flap that protects and secures the gun. However, you can easily release it with a polymer tab—even while wearing gloves.

You can wear the Big Iron on the beltline or with an optional belt drop. Correspondingly, Galco includes a leather thong tie down for use when the gun is worn in the lower position. With a suggested retail price of just $220 and $89 for the belt drop, Galco’s Big Iron is going to be very popular with those who frequent bear country!

For more information, please visit GalcoGunLeather.com.

Versacarry Decree

In a very short time, Versacarry has developed a reputation for building quality American-made holsters at an affordable price. Using tough buffalo leather for their holsters, the Versacarry line of holsters has a distinctive look. New for 2023 is the hybrid Decree.

The Decree is an OWB holster featuring an optics cut for those using a micro red dot sight. Furthermore, it comes in 4 sizes to accommodate a multitude of popular carry guns. It uses premium water buffalo construction with an inlaid polymer front. As a result, this prevents the holster mouth from collapsing and allows easy re-holstering. Likewise, an adjustable retention screw lets you dial in the perfect fit.

The Decree’s belt loop placement gives the gun a butt forward, FBI style, cant. Versacarry also includes a sweat guard to keep firing residue and oil off your clothes. New for 2023 is the Gun Metal Gray color with khaki thread.

It’s a strikingly good-looking holster and retails for $69.99 in this color or $64.99 in distressed brown or black colors.

For more information, please visit Versacarry.com.

Falco Multifit Holsters

2023 SHOT was the first year I ran into Falco Holsters. Made in Slovakia, the brand features premium, pre-tanned full-grain leather. Holsters are hand-cut, stitched, and lacquered by the company’s leather artisans. With over 100 employees, Falco is working hard to supply American shooters with quality leather holsters.

Falco’s Multifit Optics Ready Holsters are available in 5 different sizes, which will fit the most popular CCW guns. Its holsters feature optics-ready cuts, open muzzles for threaded barrels, and covered trigger guards and barrels for safe carry.

Prices start at $59.95 and vary depending on the carry mode.

For more information, please visit FalcoHolsters.com.

Hogue Carry ARS Stage 1 Holster

Most people know the Hogue company for its excellent aftermarket handgun grips. But the company also makes a great line of knives and holsters. I had a chance to inspect its line of holsters featuring the patented Automatic Retention System (ARS). The system provides an extra level of security over open-top, friction-fitted holsters.

Hogue makes the ARS line for duty and sport use but also has a line of Carry holsters using the thumb-activated locking mechanism. In use, it is extremely fast and sacrifices nothing for the extra protection and retention it provides. Hogue offers the Carry ARS Stage 1 holsters for many popular CCW guns, and it comes with a paddle and OWB belt loop attachment.

Prices start at just $59.95!

For more information, please visit HogueInc.com.

Elite Survival Systems Advanced Belt Slide Holster

Elite Survival Systems introduced the Advanced Belt Slide Holster at this year’s SHOT Show. Constructed from leather and padded ballistic nylon, the holster features a truncated muzzle for maximum concealability. Likewise, a proprietary PowerBand provides tension adjustment as well as hook and loop adjustable, reversible, thumb-break retention straps.

Elite Survival’s proprietary SightStrip protects the gun’s sights during draws and re-holstering. The Advanced Belt Slide Holster is available in 8 different sizes to fit most pistols, and the holster will accommodate belts up to 1.75” in width. Prices start at $54.95.

For more information, please visit EliteSurvival.com.

Mission First Tactical Hybrid Holsters

Mission First Tactical (MFT) introduced a new and interesting line of leather Hybrid holsters designed for AIWB, IWB and OWB carry. The holsters feature full-grain American leather fused to Kydex.

Users can enjoy the precision of laser-cut Kydex with the warmth and comfort of a leather exterior. Unlike complete leather holsters, there is no break in time with this new MFT hybrid, and there is still an audible click when the gun locks into the holster.

Available for AIWB, IWB and OWB carry in both right- and left-hand carry, each holster comes with a 1.5” belt clip. All MFT Hybrid holsters are cut for optics carry, are suppressor sight compatible, and are ambidextrous. The American-made holsters are hand molded, trimmer, and buffed by hand for user comfort. Prices start at $69.99.

For more information, please visit MissionFirstTactical.com.

Safariland Holsters

Safariland, one of the oldest and most trusted names in police duty holsters, had some exciting new products to show at SHOT 2023.

Schema is an optics-ready minimalist holster designed for subcompact firearms. Its skeletonized design has a smaller footprint to optimize concealability. It has a reinforced mouth for one-handed re-holstering and uses passive trigger guard retention. Safariland currently offers the Schema for popular micro-compacts like the Sig P365, P365XL, Taurus G2C, and G3C, Glock 43 and 43X, as well as the Springfield Armory Hellcat!

The new Safariland Species is a thermoformed IWB holster with a suede-lined interior designed for everyday carry. It possesses an adjustable retention screw to individualize the holster for a personalized draw.

Safariland also announced a collaboration with Haley Strategic Partners to produce a refined IWB holster for compacts and subcompacts equipped with lights and optics. The Incog X holster will also be available with an optional direct-mount magazine sidecar.

For more information, please visit Safariland.com.

Tagua Gunleather Hybrid Holsters

I had the chance to stop by Tagua Gunleather’s booth at SHOT 2023 and came away very impressed with the craftsmanship of their leather and hybrid holsters. Manufactured in Paraguay and imported through Miami, Florida, their vegetable-tanned leather is absolutely beautiful! Tagua offers a number of concealed carry solutions in a variety of IWB and OWB designs. They are tough, comfortable, handsome, and affordable.

This year, the NSSF SHOT Show might as well have been called the DOT show. With optics-ready pistols becoming the norm, I expected that manufacturers would introduce electronic sights on a large scale. The showroom floor did not disappoint; kick-off 2023 with these 21 red-dot optics:

21 Red-Dot Optics at SHOT Show 2023

GPO – Spectra Reflex Dot

Germany Precision Optics jumped into the game with its first reflex dot ever this year. And they did one heck of a job. By employing a lightweight polycarbonate lens, the unit tips the scale at just eight-tenths of an ounce. This ensures unimpeded performance with even the softest shooting pistols.

Other bonuses include auto-dimming and auto-off with motion-sensing technology that turns the reticle on the moment you touch your gun. Lastly, a side-mounted battery compartment makes for effortless battery swaps.

For more information, please visit GPO-USA.com.

Primary Arms – RS-15

This optic features a unique 250 MOA Vulcan dot reticle. When you hold the pistol directly in line with your eye, this large halo is outside of your field of view. The moment you cant the gun, you’ll see some portion of the corona telling you which way to drive the gun to get back in line.

A central 3 MOA aiming dot is displayed in the center of the lens, and as long as you’re running the gun right, it is the only thing you’ll see when shooting.

For more information, please visit PrimaryArms.com.

Primary Arms – MD-25 Gen 2

Recently redesigned and upgraded to include the Autolive functionality, the MD-25 Gen2 is a large-platform red dot optic built for rigorous use on even the heaviest recoiling weapon systems.

The MD-25 comes with either a simple 2 MOA dot reticle or the ACSS CQB reticle. The ACSS CQB offers BDC for carbines and a large horseshoe to accommodate typical shotgun patterns. Half-MOA clicks expedite zeroing without losing precision, and the entire unit runs off a solemn 2032 battery.

For more information, please visit PrimaryArms.com.

Lucid Optics – E7

Red dot’s biggest criticism is the vulnerability of their emitters. If damaged or obstructed, you are left with nothing more than an in-the-way piece of glass. Closing it up is the natural answer, but in the past, that came with a price. Lucid Optics aims to put an affordable option on the table with its closed-emitter E7.

This unit mounts via the Aimpoint ACRO system and displays the M5 reticle, which is proven faster than conventional red dots. The E7 is equally at home on carbines as it is on pistol slides, as it can handle whatever recoil you wish to throw at it.

For more information, please visit LucidOptics.com.

Rival – X1

The Rival X1 utilizes the Trijicon RMR footprint and marks the company’s entry into the world of optics. This 3 MOA micro-reflex sight makes use of automatic on and off capabilities. As a result, battery life can only be estimated in years. When it is time to change that battery, a top-mounted compartment allows the user to do so without removal, preserving the weapon’s zero.

For more information, please visit Rival-Arms.com.

Holosun – 507 Comp

Big windows make for fast dot acquisition; such was the concept when the 507 Comp was being developed. With its huge 1.1” x 0.87” viewing window, Holosun’s new optic is going to be attractive to competitors who are looking to score the fastest hits possible when size is not an issue.

Available with either a red or green reticle system, users can toggle the 2 MOA dot to be displayed solo or with their choice of an 8, 20, or 32 MOA halo. There is also an option to run one of the larger halos by itself.

For more information, please visit Holosun.com.

Holosun – SCRS

Holosun’s claim to fame is its solar charging system that is home to a number of pistol sights among its ranks. At the 2023 NSSF SHOT show, it introduced its first rifle sight bearing that function.

The SCRS (Solar Charging Rifle Sight) does not require any battery swaps and can run for 20,000 hours after seeing just a little bit of light. It’s 20mm tube delivers unlimited eye relief and is functionally parallax free.

For more information, please visit Holosun.com.

C-MORE – CRC

Known for its prowess in the competitive field, C-MORE is no stranger to red-dot optics. While many companies are just dipping a toe into this field, this Virginia-based think tank is merely branching out.

The CRC is optimized for compact pistols and is available with either a 3 or 6 MOA dot. A 50,000-hour battery life is the product of the automatic, shake-awake illumination. Likewise, the user gets to control the brightness setting via a 10-setting manual switch.

For more information, please visit CMORE.com.

Meprolight – Tru-Vision

Intended for long guns, the Meprolight Tru-Vision exhibits a large, 1.14″ x 0.78″ window and a 2 MOA dot. You can dim or brighten this reticle manually or enable an auto setting. This allows the unit to decide based on the ambient light conditions.

The battery life of the single CR123 cell is conserved through an auto sleep mode that activates after 30 minutes of inactivity. Correspondingly, it is awakened by the first movement the user makes.

For more information, please visit Meprolight.com.

Bushnell RXM- 300

Not to be outdone by the competition, Bushnell has released a sight built for, well, competition. The RXM-300 is its largest open reflex sight to date, featuring a massive 28mm x 24mm window. Large enough to be considered for long-gun use.

For this reason, it includes a weaver-style base as well as a high-rise spacer for MSRs. A top-mounted 2032 battery powers the unit for 35,000 hours on the middle brightness settings, and shake awake tech helps to save juice when the gun is idle.

For more information, please visit Bushnell.com.

C&H – Duty

You can only mill so many slides before you decide to take control over what mounts to them as well. In 2023 C&H rounded out its signature gunsmithing service to include its very own line of red dots.

The Duty represents the toughest of the batch, as it is a closed-emitter setup utilizing a side-clamping mounting system. C&H boasts a 50,000-hour battery life off a single 2032 button battery and preserves this through auto-on/auto-off motion sensing. Models are available with red, green, or variable reticles.

For more information, please visit CHPWS.com.

Shield – AMS

As one of the first to kick off the red dot craze, there was much anticipation for this sight’s release. Needless to say, Shield did not disappoint. Throwing professionalism to the side, this is hands down the coolest-looking sight I came across during this show.

Aside from an aesthetic exterior, the AMS uses a multi-dot reticle system that is easy to find and place on the target. Additionally, it can run off of a variety of batteries, saving the day should you need to replace it on the fly. This is also the first optic in the industry to offer an interface to add accessories like lights, lasers, or cameras.

For more information, please visit ShieldPSD.com.

EOTech – EFLX Tan

Nothing shortens the learning process like familiarity, and fewer lenses are more familiar than an EOTech. When I first picked up the EFLX it was like looking through a baby 512, which helped me find the dot, stupid quick.

New for this year, it is offered in tan to match your gun’s finish. Carried over are the options of 3 or 6 MOA dots and a top-loading battery for a reenergizing process that won’t affect zero.

For more information, please visit EOTechInc.com.

Leapers – UTG Accu-Sync 2521R

There are many misconceptions surrounding Leapers and UTG these days. For instance, did you know that much of its gear is made right in Michigan? Such is the case with this large format optic that provides an affordable solution for any MSR.

The 2521R utilizes a mini-ACOG footprint, lending itself to a wide variety of mounting brackets, with a QD riser included for a lower 1/3 co-witness. Its compact nature and snag-free turrets ensure that it won’t interfere with the rest of your kit. Additionally, the tempered glass lenses offer outstanding light transmission.

For more information, please visit Leapers.com.

ADE – Artemis

The ADE Artemis is claimed to be the only six-reticle micro red dot on the market. This unit gives users the choice of a 2-MOA dot, a 50-MOA circle, and a 60-MOA reticle in just about any combination imaginable.

It bears an RMR footprint, which makes it inherently compatible with nearly any slide cut. This is particularly true when you consider the widespread availability of these plates. A two-minute auto-off with shake awake makes for an extended battery life, which is provided by a 1632 button cell.

For more information, please visit ADEOptics.com.

Viridian- RFX 45

Green means go with the Viridian RFX 45 optic. Offering up a 5-MOA brilliant green reticle, the ERC instant-on system helps to deliver a 50,000-hour battery life. This is excellent for a green led.

This unit is built with closed-emitter construction and a profile that is small enough for handguns but large enough to make sense on long guns as well. Viridian includes a high-rise mount to accommodate either platform, leaving the decision up to you.

For more information, please visit ViridianWeaponTech.com.

Steiner – MPS FDE

After the announcement that several LE agencies had adopted the MPS (Micro Pistol Sight) for duty use, its popularity soared. As guns come in colors other than black these days, Steiner introduced an FDE version of this bomb-proof closed emitter optic.

Utilizing the ACRO footprint, it can easily clamp to any firearm that wears this cut. Or, through the use of the included Docter plate, can easily be mounted to pistols bearing that cut as well.

For more information, please visit Steiner-Optics.com.

Athlon Optics – Talos EDC

Athlon’s Talos EDC is a tiny powerhouse that is large on battery life, 50,000 hours to be exact. It achieves this through the intelligent power management system and highly-efficient circuitry.

At just north of a third of an ounce in weight, the Talos EDC makes a perfect addition to a concealed carry weapon, as its presence will likely go unnoticed. Despite being light, this optic is built on a rugged one-piece aluminum chassis. As a result, it stands up to the beating that everyday carry items are subjected to.

For more information, please visit AthlonOptics.com.

Athlon Optics – Midas TSR1-M

The Glock MOS optics cut is an ingenious design. However, it doesn’t accept many optics on the market. In an effort to fill that void, the Midas TSR1-M comes to the rescue for our friends who field the Austrian pistols with this cutout.

A larger, 6 MOA dot grabs the eye and is easier to put on short-range targets. In addition, the motion-sensing activation ensures that it is illuminated the moment the pistol is nudged.

For more information, please visit AthlonOptics.com.

SIG – ROMEO M17

(Photo by Kenzie Fitzpatrick)

While the military typically takes decades to adopt new technology, it’s hard to ignore how fast it is warming up to electro-optics. Devices like the SIG ROMEO M17 make it easy.

Between its under mounting system and its drop-tested, closed emitter construction, its sheer durability is quickly relaxing any apprehension towards running a dot in combat conditions. SIG’s latest is designed for direct mounting to the MHS contract pistol without having to sacrifice the standard sights. Look for a civilian version later this year.

For more information, please visit SigSauer.com.

SIG – ROMEO4XT-PRO

There is no reason ever to stop improving. This is SIG’s motto, and we can see its embodiment in the ROMEO4XT-PRO. The PRO moves the controls to the top for better ambidexterity and protection from snagging on clothing or chest rigs.

SIG’s new rendition has a night vision override switch to deal with wide swings in ambient light. Additionally, it can run 50,000 hours off an everyday AAA battery.

For more information, please visit SigSauer.com.

1. Indianapolis Colts (via Chicago Bears): C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State
Terms of trade
Bears receive:
2023 first-round selection (4 overall)2023 second-round selection (35 overall)2024 first-round selection
Colts receive:
2023 first-round selection (1 overall)
Chris Ballard has made no secret of the need to get the quarterback position right this year, in the way of failed experiments involving Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan. Stroud’s performance against Georgia in the College Football Playoff, and in particular his ability to play off-structure and outside the pocket, was the kind of game that scouts will remember throughout draft season.
2. Houston Texans: Bryce Young, QB, Alabama
The big question Young faces his draft season is his size. There are already reports that he is looking to weigh around 210 pounds at the Scouting Combine, and his height will be highly scrutinized as well. On the field, Young is accurate, athletic, and has the ability to quickly work through reads and break a defense down with his mind.
3. Arizona Cardinals: Will Anderson Jr., EDGE, Alabama
Anderson is one of the more complete players in the draft. While at Alabama, he was used in various spots along their defensive line, primarily on the edge but there were times you would see him in either the B- or the A-Gaps. Off the edge, he relies on power and could benefit from adding a few more pass-rushing moves to his arsenal, but the technique is coming. A dip-and-rip sack against Vanderbilt from this season is an example of what he could become.
4. Chicago Bears (via Indianapolis Colts): Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

Terms of trade
Bears receive:
2023 first-round selection (4 overall)2023 second-round selection (35 overall)2024 first-round selection
Colts receive:
2023 first-round selection (1 overall)
For many, Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter is the best prospect in the entire draft. Georgia’s imposing defense was a big reason for their back-to-back national championships, and Carter played a massive part for both units. His strength and power at the point of attack command double teams each drive, but his ability to push the pocket and penetrate is a massive plus for the NFL.
5. Seattle Seahawks (via Denver Broncos): Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech
Like many, I am fascinated by what the Seattle Seahawks will do with this pick. Could they draft a quarterback? Certainly. But I tend to believe that the Seahawks go in a different direction, addressing their defense in this first round and seeing if there is a way to position themselves for a quarterback in next year’s draft, perhaps via a trade down, should Geno Smith struggle in 2023.
What might they draft instead? An EDGE who has moved up boards throughout the fall with the strength and power to play on the inside, but the power and motor to align on the outside. For example, his first-quarter sack this season against N.C. State, where he split a double team on the edge and worked his way to the QB, is a flash of what he can do on the outside.
His fit in Seattle might be ideal, as the Seahawks utilize some odd fronts so he can align as a DE in a three-man surface, but he can also kick outside in sub packages.
6. Detroit Lions (via Los Angeles Rams): Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson
Are we seeing the comeback of the defensive tackle?
Perhaps, but before getting to Bresee, a few words on the Lions, who are in a similar position to the Seahawks. Like Seattle, Detroit has a pair of first-round picks and a quarterback who was good this year, but still faces questions about whether he is the future or not. Many Lions fans are hoping that the organization adds a QB this cycle, perhaps while still giving Jared Goff one more year as that quarterback develops. But with offensive coordinator Ben Johnson returning to Detroit, giving Goff one more year makes a certain degree of sense.
So, like Seattle before them, they add to the defensive front. Bresee is athletic, explosive, and has the versatility to play almost anywhere along the defensive front. You might see him anywhere from a 0-technique right over the center, to a two-point stance outside the tackle. He dealt with some injuries while at Clemson, but dropping him into the Lions’ defense, with Aidan Hutchinson on the outside is the kind of move that Dan Campbell might bang the table for this spring.
7. Las Vegas Raiders: Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern
The battle for OT1 will be fascinating to watch this draft season. Northwestern’s Peter Skoronski fascinates me, as he showcases the technique, and the varied approach, that will serve him well in the NFL. He mixes up his pass sets, keeping rushers on their toes when coming off the ball.
However, as we see each cycle, there is already a question of whether he would be better suited to playing guard in the NFL.
He looks like a tackle to me.
As for why the Raiders would draft a tackle? Well, someone has to block for Tom Brady …
8. Atlanta Falcons: Myles Murphy, EDGE, Clemson
The Falcons could go in a few different directions with this selection. Help along the offensive line is a need this offseason, and they could benefit from adding another pass catcher to pair with Drake London. Cornerback depth is another issue, and you might consider a quarterback, depending on how you feel about Desmond Ridder.
However, adding a versatile player to their defensive front is another need, and they check that box with Murphy. While Murphy spent more time on the edge than his teammate, Bryan Bresee, you would still see him kicked inside at times. He offers a combination of power and a quick first step that is ideal for playing inside in sub packages, but you could even see him dropped into coverage off the edge in certain situations.
9. Carolina Panthers: Will Levis, QB, Kentucky

Jordan Prather-USA TODAY Sports

Here we go.
Am I making this pick for the sole purpose of annoying my dear co-worker – and Panthers fan – James Dator?
Perhaps.
But with the move to hire Frank Reich, you can see a path toward picking a talented quarterback in the draft who needs some development. Say what you want about Carolina’s decision to hire Reich, and not Steve Wilks, but Reich was part of the group in Philadelphia that turned Carson Wentz from a raw prospect into a potential MVP candidate in 2017, before his knee injury.
He’ll not get to try something similar with Levis. The Kentucky QB can make spectacular throws, and if he puts it all together…
10. Philadelphia Eagles (via New Orleans Saints): Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon
When Howie Roseman acquired another first-round selection for this draft, there was a chance it would be used on a quarterback. But with Jalen Hurts playing at a near-MVP level this season, the Eagles can go in a much different direction.
With Darius Slay, James Bradberry, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and Avonte Maddox, the Eagles put together a fantastic secondary this season. But with Bradberry entering a void year on his deal, and Gardner-Johnson entering free agency, odds are the Eagles will need to add a cornerback.
Similar to the battle for OT1, the battle for CB1 might be the most intriguing of the entire draft cycle. Cornerback also looks to be one of the deepest positions this season, with perhaps 15 prospects in the mix to be drafted in the first three rounds. How they come off the board might come down to scheme fit more than anything else, but Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez is certainly among those being considered for that top CB spot. His blend of size, change-of-direction skills, and coverage versatility is ideal for modern NFL defenses.
11. Tennessee Titans: Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia
Let the run on offensive tackles begin.
Looking through the draft order, there are a few spots in the draft where a position run seems in the cards. Later in the first round, a CB run seems in the mix, and we could see a WR run as well.
Here starts the tackle run, as all three of these next teams have a need upfront. We start with the Titans and Broderick Jones from Georgia. Jones only has 19 starts over his short college career, but his combination of athleticism and potential is hard to ignore. While he might still be refining his technique, he is working from an impressive starting point.
12. Houston Texans: Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State
In this scenario, the Texans draft Bryce Young at the top of the board.
Now they add someone to protect him.
Johnson slid to left tackle for the 2022 season after spending the 2021 campaign as the Buckeyes’ starting right guard. He settled into the role with ease, perhaps not a surprise given that he was a five-star recruit as a tackle. Johnson has the athleticism and footwork to handle life on the left side in the NFL and can mix up his pass sets to keep opposing pass rushers off-balance.
13. New York Jets: Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma
Someone has to protect Aaron Rodgers …
Yes, figuring out quarterback is a huge need in New York. In announcing Nathaniel Hackett as their new offensive coordinator, Jets head coach Robert Saleh indicated that the organization would look at a veteran option, and almost immediately the connections between Hackett and Rodgers were made.
Assuming QB is not a pick here, the Jets need to solidify their offensive line. Making sure they have the five best options up front is a priority for Joe Douglas. Harrison is athletic, with quick feet for a tackle of his size, and helps get the Jets one step closer to getting their best five in front of the quarterback next season. With the impending return of Mekhi Becton — who moved to right tackle last season — Harrison now gives the Jets their left tackle for 2023, and beyond.
Whoever that is.
14. New England Patriots: Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU
The mere suggestion of the Patriots drafting another X receiver early might cause New England fans some nausea.
Over the Bill Belichick Era, the Patriots have done a fantastic job at identifying talent at the slot receiver position. Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, and now Jakobi Meyers all come to mind.
But the boundary receiver spots have been a mixed bag at best. Yes, they traded for Randy Moss, but you knew what you were getting with him. Draft picks such as Chad Jackson, Aaron Dobson, and most recently N’Keal Harry all failed to live up to the billing. Fourth-round pick Malcolm Mitchell played a huge role for the Patriots as a rookie in Super Bowl LI but retired after two years due to injuries.
Could Johnston break that streak? Perhaps. He projects as a prototypical X receiver in the NFL, with the ball skills and speed to stretch defenses vertically, but as we saw against Michigan he can also work underneath to create explosive plays.
Hiring Bill O’Brien is the first step in fixing the offense in New England. Finding ways to generate explosives in the passing game is the second. Johnston is a nod to that need.
15. Green Bay Packers: Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame

Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

This year offers perhaps the deepest tight end class in recent history. Mayer, Utah’s Dalton Kincaid, and Georgia’s Darnell Washington are players currently discussed as first-round options, with players like Tucker Kraft from South Dakota State and Iowa’s Sam LaPorta looking to crash that first-round party.
Mayer is one of the more complete prospects this season, with the ability to play with his hand in the dirt and handle the blocking responsibilities asked of TEs at the next level. But Mayer also has the production in the passing game to fit what NFL offenses are looking for in the position. Notre Dame used him in-line, in the slot, on a wing, and as an isolated tight end in Y-iso sets, and he handled everything the team asked of him.
Where he might stand out the most is with the ball in the air. Watch his contested catches this season – including those against USC – and you can easily see how that will translate to the next level.
16. Washington Commanders: Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia
With recent reports that the Commanders are telling prospective offensive coordinators that Sam Howell is the QB for the team going forward, it seems likely that QB is not an option for Washington in the first round.
Cornerback, however, is.
Again, this is a deep and talented group, and seeing how people stack this cornerback class will be fascinating. Ringo combines sprinter’s speed with the size and length needed at the position. His straight-line speed is a weapon on defense, and his film is complete with examples of him matching vertical routes, or breaking on shallow crossers in man coverage and disrupting at the catch point. His PBU against Georgia Tech this season on a 3rd and 13 is a prime example. He handles zone coverage responsibilities well, but his best role is likely as a corner in a heavy man-coverage scheme.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers: Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State
Yes, it is low-hanging fruit.
But the Steelers have a need at cornerback, and Porter showed this season the traits you expect from a highly-regarded recruit and potential first-round selection. Watching him, the length just jumps off the screen, similar to studying Sauce Gardner a year ago. Much like Gardner, Porter puts that length to use, disrupting throws at the catch point or maintaining his relationship with the nearest threat.
His best role is as a press-man corner in a heavy man coverage system, but he can also play well in zone. He is very patient when in press alignment, but when it is time to be physical, he is more than up to the challenge.
18. Detroit Lions: Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois
Watch Devon Witherspoon play.
Listen to maybe five minutes of Dan Campbell.
Enough said.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida

Doug Engle / USA TODAY NETWORK

Now we are getting spicy.
As noted earlier, this scenario unfolds in a world where Tom Brady is taking his talents to Vegas for the “Vegas Residency” portion of his NFL career, alongside Celine Dion, Def Leppard, and Aerosmith. That means there is a QB need in Tampa Bay. Might the Buccaneers be facing a rebuild? Perhaps, but if Brady does leave town – as he reportedly indicated to teammates after the playoff loss to the Dallas Cowboys – that leaves only Kyle Trask and Blaine Gabbert on the roster at QB.
Richardson is a fascinating prospect, and I have a feeling that as the draft cycle unfolds, he is going to move closer to the top of the board for many. I also think he is closer to being NFL-ready than many would have you believe. I have been trying for almost a decade to match a QB to a Bruce Arians organization, and this might finally be the year those efforts pay off.
20. Seattle Seahawks: Brian Branch, S, Alabama
The Russell Wilson trade was huge for the Seahawks …
Having used the first-round pick they received in that trade on the defensive front, now the Seahawks turn to the secondary. Seattle has a need at safety, and Branch is the best of the bunch. But describing him as a safety does not do him justice, as he aligned everywhere for the Crimson Tide over his collegiate career.
This season alone saw him used everywhere on the field. He saw snaps as a boundary corner, a split-field safety, a post safety, a box safety, and a slot defender, and he even was used as a pass rusher off the edge in certain situations. He is perhaps at his best in zone coverage situations, as his feel for the game makes him a threat to opposing passers. His interception against Kansas State in the Sugar Bowl – which saw him peel off an inside receiver and jump a hitch route on the outside – is a prime example.
21: Miami Dolphins: (Forfeited)
The Miami Dolphins forfeited their first-round pick as a result of investigations into allegations of tampering and violations regarding the “integrity of the game.”
If they were able to make a selection here, running back Bijan Robinson, linebackers Trenton Simpson or Noah Sewell, or one of the other cornerbacks remaining would be options.
22. Los Angeles Chargers: Jordan Addison, WR, USC
A tight end is certainly an option for the Chargers with this selection, and as noted earlier when discussing the Packers’ selection of Michael Mayer, Dalton Kincaid and Darnell Washington are other TEs generating first-round buzz.
Receiver is another option for Los Angeles. Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are a talented pair, but with both working through injuries this season, adding another outside option in the passing game is a wise move for the Chargers.
Addison put up huge numbers for Pittsburgh a season ago, helping Kenny Pickett become a first-round selection. His production dipped a bit at USC, but the traits are still there. He is explosive both before and after the catch and can be a weapon in the screen game. Giving Justin Herbert another playmaking option seems like a wise investment for the Chargers.
23. Baltimore Ravens: Rashee Rice, WR, SMU
The first order of business is getting Lamar Jackson back in purple and black.
The second order of business is giving him a threat on the outside.
I was skeptical when I turned on Rice to study him, but within minutes I was sold. He is confident and fearless when working over the middle, he trusts his hands at the catch point – consistently attacking the ball in flight rather than letting it get into his chest – and he is a weapon in the vertical passing game.
Rice also has the ability to play both on the boundary, and in the slot, which you can see on his 75-yard touchdown reception against Tulsa to open the game this season. In fact, that play might be a prime example of what he offers. Rice erases a huge pre-snap cushion on a post route, makes a tough adjustment to the throw, and then finishes after the catch by making the first defender miss and breaking two tackle attempts en route to the end zone.
24. Minnesota Vikings: Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports

The Minnesota Vikings need to address the defensive side of the ball in this draft.
Despite a number of investments in the secondary in recent years, including Andrew Booth Jr. in the second round a year ago, cornerback remains a concern in Minnesota. Utah cornerback Clark Phillips III gives this secondary a big boost. Phillips has fantastic change-of-direction skills, and can play sticky man coverage, but also can function well in zone coverage designs. His interception against Oregon is a prime example of his zone-coverage skills, as he starts in the slot, but jumps underneath a hitch route on the outside and takes it the other way.
His feel for the game, particularly when in man coverage, is another strength. His interception against Arizona State – where he starts in off-man and reads a stop route to perfection – is a great example of his technique and awareness.
25. Jacksonville Jaguars: Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia
This is absolutely a luxury pick.
Remember, the Jaguars expect Calvin Ridley back next season, which would bolster their wide receiver room. While the emergence of Evan Engram this season has been fantastic to see – and is saving some of my pre-draft takes from 2017 – Engram is entering free agency.
Ideally, the Jaguars bring him back … and still draft Washington. Why? I’m picturing a “big 11” personnel package with Ridley and Christian Kirk on the outside, and Engram along with Washington at tight end. Engram can operate as the move-type TE, while Washington gives Jacksonville an in-line option who can handle the run-blocking part of the position well.
That would cause problems for opposing defenses.
26. New York Giants: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State
Wide receiver is certainly one of the needs in New York.
The signing of Kenny Golladay has yet to pay off, as the high-priced free agent has just one more touchdown than you do, dear reader, over his two years with the Giants. Saquon Barkley led the team in targets last season, and the Giants need to rebuild this position group.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is one of the more puzzling prospects this draft cycle. Entering 2022 he looked like a lock for the first round, but injuries have seen his stock crater in the media space. But opinions are varied. For example, ESPN’s Todd McShay has made the case that Smith-Njigba is not a first-round pick, while his colleague Mel Kiper Jr. has him inside the top 15 in his first mock draft.
Here, we split the difference somewhat. Smith-Njigba can carve out a role in the slot for the Giants, giving Brian Daboll and Daniel Jones another option in the passing game.
27. Dallas Cowboys: Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
Here is a little inside baseball.
Prior to starting full-time here at SB Nation, I co-hosted the “Talking the Star” podcast with my good pal, and long-time Cowboys fan, Connor Livesay. Since going full-time, I have made some occasional guest appearances on the show with Connor, something that we will be ramping up during the draft season.
You can find the takes from the summer, but Connor and I expressed concern over the Dallas wide receiver room all off-season. Those concerns only increased after the team traded Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns.
And while Connor and I both had hopes for Jalen Tolbert, from where I sit, Dallas still needs to add at receiver.
Hyatt exploded onto the national stage with a five-touchdown performance in Tennessee’s win over Alabama. His speed is a huge asset, and while there will be questions about the offense he played in at Tennessee – and how his game translates to the next level as a result – playing across from CeeDee Lamb should give him the kind of space he saw on Saturdays.
28. Buffalo Bills: O’Cyrus Torrence, IOL, Florida
After the Bills lost to the Bengals in the Divisional Round, the questions about whether their window had closed surfaced.
That still seems a year or two off, but the Bills need to regroup after a tough end to a season that was filled with expectations. One of their more pressing needs entering 2023 is solidifying the interior of the offensive line. Torrence is a physical, imposing force in the run game – something that the Bills could certainly benefit from – and anchors well against power moves in the interior while in pass protection. There is room for improvement, and opinions on him are varied, but he is a solid option for Buffalo at this point in the first round.
29. Cincinnati Bengals: Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina
Studying the Bengals throughout the season and in preparation for the playoffs, not a ton of needs stood out. They could add a tight end at some point in the draft and could make some additions to the secondary, but really they could go in almost any direction with this pick, but for quarterback or wide receiver.
South Carolina CB Cam Smith is a fascinating study. He is competitive, and physical, moves extremely well, and is an asset in run support. The production might not jump out at you – Smith recorded one interception this past season – but you can see his disruptive nature on film. Whether it was a PBU on a vertical route against Missouri to get South Carolina off the field on third down, or a near-interception against Charlotte where he was playing in almost a half-field safety role, Smith can get to the ball and cause problems for an offense.
30. Denver Broncos (via Miami Dolphins): Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson

Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports

I sat down to study Trenton Simpson the other morning.
One of the first plays I saw was a proverbial “put the pen down” moment. Against Miami, Simpson was mugged up in the A-Gap, and after bluffing a blitz he dropped underneath to spy the quarterback. When the QB broke the pocket, Simpson exploded downhill, tracking him in a flash for a sack.
From there I was hooked. You might see him playing in a stack alignment, fitting against the run, on first down but then see him flexed towards the boundary over a wide receiver on 3rd and long. He is explosive, versatile, and contributes both against the run and in the passing game.
The biggest knock on him might be two-fold. First, the value of off-ball linebackers in today’s NFL. Second, what exactly is his role in the league? Is he a stack linebacker, an overhang player, or a positionless-defender?
How about this role?
Football player.
31. Kansas City Chiefs: Lukas Van Ness, EDGE, Iowa
Wide receiver is a position often addressed by the Chiefs in early mock drafts, but with last year’s selection of Skyy Moore, and the acquisition of Kadarius Toney via a trade, Kansas City has two young receivers to develop already in the fold.
Another potential need is offensive tackle, but I’m taking the focus to the defensive side of the football. Frank Clark is a free agent after 2023, so adding a pass rusher with some room to grow is the kind of forward-thinking move that the Chiefs have made in recent years.
Lukas Van Ness is generating a ton of buzz as draft season begins, despite being used in more of a rotational role for Iowa this season. Still, the potential is there, as Van Ness has the power, burst, and explosiveness to win both on the edge, and on the inside. You might see him aligned as a defensive tackle in sub packages but win with speed and power, as he did for a sack against Wisconsin. You might see him on the edge, blowing up the pocket on third down as he did in the second quarter against Purdue to help the Hawkeyes get off the field.
The potential is there, and the Chiefs place a bet on that at the end of the first round.
32. Philadelphia Eagles: Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas
I can hear you now.
“Howie Roseman will never draft a running back in the first round.”
What about at the end of the first round, after drafting a cornerback earlier?
Ten, maybe five, years ago Bijan Robinson might be the first-overall selection. But as we have seen in recent years, running backs are sliding down draft boards. The reliance on the passing game, coupled with the wear-and-tear that comes with the position, makes drafting a running back early an increasingly unlikely proposition.
But with running back being a need for Philadelphia, Roseman takes advantage of that market inefficiency, drafting one of the better overall prospects at the end of the first round. He is also a near-perfect fit in Philadelphia, as his skill set translates best to an offense that relies heavily on zone-blocking concepts. […]

Every year the category for women in shooting sports continues to grow, and this year was no exception.

Walkers Disruptors

Electronic ear protection is a staple in many shooters range bags. Personally speaking, electronic buds during warmer months are a must, as muffs oftentimes cause too much warmth on the noggin’. Not to mention a headache if you have your hair pulled back in a ponytail.

Walkers packed quite a punch into their newest in-ear offering with features such as five varying ambient sound settings to enhance what matters most, such as hi-frequency boost, voice, and more.

Included with each set are varying sizes of foam/silicone tips fitting all ears and providing varying levels of protection. Battery life is quite extensive with the Disruptors, lasting up to 11 hours when used in ambient mode or up to 6 hours if you happen to be streaming your favorite music or podcast during use.

Franchi Instinct Sideplate 28-Gauge

We first saw the Franchi Instinct Sideplate shotgun hit gun stores in 2022. But new for this year is the addition of two new chamberings: 28-gauge and 16-gauge. Just like their predecessors, these two new offerings come equipped with a custom-fitted hard case, auto safety, auto ejectors, and barrel selectors so that you may choose over or under. 

Lastly, the Instinct Sideplate ships with the following extended chokes: cylinder, improved cylinder, modified, improved modified, and full.  Additional features of this scattergun include a red fiber optic front sight, beautiful AA-grade walnut stock, a 14.5-inch length of pull, and more.

Gamo Swarm Magnum Pro Gen3i

Starting off the new year with a third-generation reiteration of the infamous Gamo Swarm.  Choose from two different caliber options: .22 and .177.  Ready to use right out of the box, the Swarm Magnum Pro Gen3i ships with a Gamo 3-9×40 scope, ready to take aim and become a squirrel’s worst nightmare.

Changes have been made to the stock of this air gun, improving upon comfort and ergonomics. However, it still maintains features we’ve come to know and love, such as the two-stage trigger, IGT gas piston, and Whisper Fusion dampener, just to name a few.

5.11 PT-R Gym Backpack

It is important to stay in shape, especially if you are a competitive shooter. Running to and from various stages as quickly as possible can take its toll. And if you are not in decent shape, it only means precious seconds will be added to your time while you catch your breath.

The PT-R Gym Backpack from 5.11 appears simple from the outside yet has a lot to offer on the inside. Keep your shoes and sweat rag in the ventilated shoe pocket on the exterior of the pack while your belongings inside remain clean and sanitary.

Additional items can be stored on the exterior of the pack with the included (and removable) compression straps. Padded shoulder straps prevent uncomfortable pressure during wear, and the addition of a laptop pocket is perfect for working out on your way into the office or on your way home.

If you have been tracking some of the things I have been dabbling with, you might notice I have gone down the rabbit hole a bit with ATAK. Well, I came across VK Integrated Systems, Aries Defense and Legionarius all at the same booth at SHOT Show 2023 and they have some interesting ATAK integration.
Legionarius LLC ATAK Integration
Legionarius has a smart garment that connects to ATAK. It is like something out of Sci-Fi. They have a garment that has zones that are wired up. When something penetrates the garment, the system registers the hit and the general location. You can see the different zones on the screen below. It does register hits from bullets, stabbings, cuts and shrapnel. Also, it can detect hits from the front and rear. I believe it can register entry and exit wounds. The image below shows vitals that I assume the smart garment is reading off the user.

The prototype combat shirt has a box at the back nape of the shirt that you plug into your EUD (end-user device) running ATAK.

When a team member gets hit, it will alert the entire team. Since it is connected to the ATAK network you know where that person is and can get aid to them sooner.

VK Integrated Systems
VK Integrated Systems has their own ATAK integration via a smart stock that also connects to ATAK. The SIOS-C is a carbine stock that has Compass, and accelerometers built into it. When connected via their ATAK plug-in, the SIOS-C shows up on the ATAK map. There is a small icon that indicates what direction the stock is pointing. When a shot is fired the plug-in registers the direction and the time the shot was taken.
This is the SIOS-C11B
They will have a SIOS-C11E with enhanced GPS internals.

VK Integrated Systems is also planning on making a SIOS-V01 which will be a vertical grip for ATAK integration. This is for foreign agencies that do not use AR-style firearms. Like departments that use bullpup rifles. The SIOS-C11B is just $600 and comes with the plug-in.

Aries Defense ATAK Integration
Aries Defense makes something called OVERWATCH. It is a video/data management system combined with a smart camera that can detect movement. See the image below. The small camera can be programmed to alert people using ATAK when something crosses its path. More importantly, OVERWATCH does not simply plug into your radio. Trying to stream video over the radio through ATAK can overwhelm the bandwidth. OVERWATCH does not do that. Aries Defense ATAK integration has been able to handle up to 27 cameras all on the same network.

The rep positioned something in front of the camera and the FOV went green on the screen.

I talked to Eric Donovan and Doug Pillsbury of Aries Defense at SHOT Show. They make a simpler system called OWIK which allows you to use your own imaging device rather than their OVERWATCH camera. I had reached out to Eric earlier inquiring about OWIK and its compatibility with Vectronix JIMLR/LRTV. Unfortunately, Vectronix will not let them borrow one for development. Fortunately, I brought my LRTV with me and we connected it to OWIK. It works!

Right now the LRTV is merely connected via the analog video out cable into OWIK so it is only displaying the thermal image or day channel in ATAK. I want more ATAK integration for the LRTV. The LRTV has GPS, compass and LRF capabilities. This will require a data cable and figuring out the pin-out but it is possible, according to Doug of Aries Defense.

OVERWATCH is a bit pricey at around $29k while OWIK is just under $20k.

At SHOT Show 2023 Range Day, I came across Accufire at the long range section. Their Omnis digital spotting scope caught my attention. Accufire also has some new red dots as well as a thermal clip on they are coming out with. But first let’s talk about the Omnis and how excited I am about it.
Accufire Omnis

The Omnis has a short picatinny rail on top which can be used for mounting an LRF or simply an illuminator for low light use.
Digital optics are usually a compromise over regular analog optical solutions. They usually have poor run times and to make matters worse, they often have random reticles that do not make sense and they either do not scale when you zoom in or they do shift but the reticle does not maintain its relative size with the magnified image. Not the case with the Accufire Omnis. It has a starting magnification of 30x and can zoom in up to 120x. Since it is digital it has the ability to record video and audio from the digital image. The video out resolution is 1440×1880.
As mentioned earlier, digital systems often have meaningless reticles. See my Vectronix JIMLR, the reticle does not have any meaningful sub tensions for spotting. The Accufire engineers were instructed to input MIL reticles and more importantly make sure they stay their relative scale when the user changes magnification. So the Omnis is a sort of digital first focal plane. Below are some of the reticle options you can select for the Omins.

The Accufire Omnis has a pretty clear looking image from what I saw at SHOT Show Range Day.

One of the Accufire reps mentioned that the Omnis has a night mode and can see in the dark. It is basically a mode with the IR filter removed so it can see infrared illuminators. Here is an example of a target 500 yards away at around 8pm.

Accufire has a dedicated Arca plate under the Omnis. It is not just a simple Arca plate bolted to a tripod hole.

The Omnis runs on 4xCR123s for four hours. You can plug a USB power bank into the Omnis for longer run time. It has wifi connectivity and you can remote view the Omnis from your smart phone. You can control digital zoom and recording from the phone.

The Omnis retails $1,319.95 on their website.
Accufire Red Dots
Besides the Omnis, Accufire is coming out with their own red dots. Their PCO is for pistols and their QSO is for rifle applications. The PCO is an RMR footprint It comes with a picatinny adapter and retails for $350.

Accufire will be coming out with a PCO-S. A solar version of the PCO also for just $350.

Accufire’s QSO is a small enclosed red dot sight and is solar powered as well as battery powered. It is small. Like an Acro P2 size. It will also retail for $350.

Incendis Pro Thermal

Accufire’s Incendis Pro is a new thermal clip on. Their previous Incendis was only 384×288 resolution. The Pro will be 640 resolution. It is good for up to 6x day scope like an LPVO.

For longer run time it has a remote 18650 battery pack. The battery pack is detachable and you can mount it to your rifle for better weight balance and minimize the snag hazard with he power cable. The incenses Pro will retail for $5,999.

Added to the recently launched Pursuit line of Stag Arms hunting rifles is the new Pursuit bolt action rifle. At SHOT Show 2023, we had a chance to take a look at the pre-production versions of this rifle. Let’s see what features Stag Arms offers in this new bolt action rifle.
Stag Arms @ TFB:

The Stag Pursuit Bolt Action Rifle is the start of a new line of user customizable lightweight precision hunting rifles for the sportsman who is in pursuit of the next challenge. With a completely custom 700-pattern design and a tri-lug bolt the rifle features an incredibly smooth action and 60-degree throw for lightning-quick follow-up. The chassis is a three-part modular design comprised of magnesium alloy, glass filled polymer and aluminum, enabling future modifications and customization with new stocks and handguards that will completely change the look and application of the rifle.

Stag Arms Pursuit bolt action rifle is fed from AICS pattern magazines and will be initially available chambered in .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor with more caliber options to follow. The detachable barrels and Remington 700 footprint receivers of the rifle are made of 416 stainless steel and have a nitrided finish. The receiver is fitted with a top Picatinny rail section. The bolt can be disassembled without a use of tools, has a removable head and dual spring-loaded ejectors. The stock of the Pursuit bolt gun features an adjustable cheekpiece, spacer-adjustable length of pull, and ambidextrous QD sling swivel sockets. The forearm has ambi QD sling sockets, M-LOK slots at the bottom and a front 1913 rail extension for attaching bipods. The stock and forearm are removed from the lower receiver by pushing out the cross pins which are similar to AR15 takedown/pivot pins.

According to Stag Arms reps, the Pursuit bolt gun should hit the market in Q3. No price information is available at the moment.

Like every year, Strike Industries comes out swinging with a cornucopia of new accessories. They are expanding into different weapon platforms as well as improving others. Let’s take a look at the Strike Industries 2023 Lineup.
I am sure you may have noticed the work in progress locked in a shadow box. They are exploring making a Mac11 but chambered in .22LR. Strike Industries just finished welding the receiver last week, according to their Marketing Specialist Danny.
Next up in the Strike Industries 2023 lineup is their Strike Modular Chassis (SMC) for the 10/22. They are hoping for a late Spring to early summer release and price is still to be determined (TBD).

Like their other SMC offerings, P320 chassis for example, comes with all the accessories in the kit. Besides the chassis itself the kit will come with a picatinny adapter so you can use compatible stocks like their dual folding stock.

The SMC 10/22 kit will have both length hand guards so you can keep it short for a Ruger Charger or have the extended rail for a rifle. You could use it with a suppressed Charger and tuck the can under the extension.

Did you notice the small box sitting on the picatinny rail? The Strike Industries 2023 lineup includes their Strike iHolder. It is a clam shell that bolts to a picatinny rail and you put an Apple AirTag inside.

The Strike iHolder is low profile and has a security style fastener. This makes it a bit more challenging for unwanted users from removing it. The Strike iHolder is made of polymer and will retail for $10.95. Apple AirTag not included. They are working on a pistol grip version for even more discrete storage of an Apple AirTag.

Strike Industries 2023 line up has an oldie but goodie, there Pit Stock but now they are making a polymer version. It will be cheaper but price is still TBD.

In the Strike Industries 2023 lineup they are making pistol grip adapters to attach AR pistol grips to guns that do not normally use AR pistol grips.
First up is an adapter to use flat top pistol grips on AK platforms.

Strike Industries will also be making an AR pistol grip adapter for the CZ Scorpion Evolution. This grip adapter allows the user to use either flat top or beavertail grips.

To heed the call of the consumer, Strike Industries 2023 lineup has made a stamped steel dust cover. It is a tool-less instal just like their polymer dust covers. ETA is summer and price is TBD.

Strike Industries 2023 lineup will venture into the KRISS Vector market with two new accessories. First up is a short handguard for the Vector. This is for Vector pistols or SBRs. It will retail for $109.95.

The Strike Vector Hanguard will fit the factory barrel shroud if you have the carbine. If this handguard is successful they will make a longer variant for the Vector Carbines.

Similar to the SMC 10/22, Strike Industries will be offering picatinny adapters for the Gen2 Vector upper receivers and give the shooter the option to add a picatinny rail.

The Strike Industries 2023 lineup also includes new accessories for the SMC for the P320. First up is their blast shield. This provides protection for your support thumb if you use compact slides and it adds some picatinny slots for adding a pistol light if you use the spare mag holder.  This blast shield is one picatinny slot too short for SureFire X300 like lights. But smaller micro lights will fit.

The Strike blast shield works with their SMC compensator. This compensator attaches to the chassis rather than using a threaded barrel.

Strike will also be making a longer compensator for the P320 SMC.

Last up for the SMC P320, they will be coming out with a back strap so you can swap out the picatinny back strap for a standard beavertail style.

Here is something interesting in the Strike Industries 2023 lineup. Strike is making their own steel P320 magazines. They are hoping to offer them for $20 cheaper than the OEM SIG P320 magazine prices.

They used a P320 base plate at SHOT Show to show their mags will have cross compatibility with any P320 magazine extension or baseplate.

The Strike Industries 2023 lineup has a lot of products. I am very excited for their rimfire Mac11 and hope they will mass produce it.

At the beginning of the year we got a sneak peak at the Nocturn Industries UANVB-OC, aka the Samurai. Well they are branching out with more housings such as their metal Manticore and Chimera bridge.
Nocturn Industries metal Manticore
Nocturn had their metal Manticore out on display. You can already see how it works. The Manticore is similar in function to their UANVB Katana. It has the same magnetic switching for the articulating pods and integrated IPD stops. However, instead of a single push button battery cap, there are four buttons on the front of the bridge. More importantly It has manual gain adjustment. It will use 11769 tubes and come with an adapter to use those tubes. However they need to be installed at the dealer level.

The metal Manticore housing will be machined aluminum and they are hoping to have them ready in 120 days. They also have plans to offer the Manticore in traditional injection molded polymer. Most likely a glass filled nylon somewhat like your PVS-14 housings. However that will more than likely take a bit longer as they need to get the molds made.
The UANVB-OCR aka Samurai will also be offered in machined aluminum and injection molded polymer. Nocturn Industries will continue to use additive manufacturing, specifically multi-jet fusion, for smaller run products like their battery packs for the UANVB-OC.

Besides the metal Manticore and UANVB-OCR samurai, Nocturn Industries had their Chimera quad tube prototype and Chimera legacy quad tube bridges.

My back up ANVIS10 pods on the Anvis10 compatible Chimera bridge.

QTNVG with matching Chimera bridge.

Nocturn is going to be releasing their Daisho, the bridge to combine two Tanto monoculars into a binocular goggle.

Last year Nocturn had their PVS-15 compatible Katana prototype. Well now they have a production unit that is fully functional.

Most of these products are projected to be released in 120 days or more. Here is the pricing:

Aluminum Katana $2024
Aluminum Samurai $2524
Aluminum Manticore $2424
Chimera bridge $2500
Daisho bridge $650

Zastava USA had all kinds of new things in the works for 2023.  First and most prominent,will be the addition to their catalogue of true underfolding ZPAPM70’s in the M70AB configuration, complete with bayonet lug.  In addition to being a true underfolder integrated into the receiver as opposed to their bolt-on underfolding kit, the new under folders will be the first Zastava USA ZPAP’s to have a bayonet lug as well.

Colorful additions
Zastava USA will also be bringing color to their lineup with firearms Duracoated for a good cause. For every one of their duracoated firearms sold, Zastava will make a donation to veterans organizations.  Also, Zastava will be importing gold plated engraved CZ999’s.  Zastava was already bringing in CZ999’s, but these golden guns have engraved gold plated slides, screws and controls for those that need a little more style on their Serbian handguns.
