Ed Brown Hex Head Magazine Catch Lock

Any time you can replace a slotted-head part for a hex-head part, you should do it. And that’s especially true for people who do a lot of assembly/disassembly on their 1911s. The hex-head magazine catch lock from Ed Brown—available in blue or stainless—not only looks custom-gun good, it eliminates the potential of unsightly screw buggering or slip scratches. It comes with the proper size wrench and installs in seconds. $5; www.edbrown.com

Crossbreed Confidant Magazine Carrier

The all-new Confidant magazine carrier from CrossBreed is designed to securely accept a range of pistol magazines. Made from a combination of high-impact and flexible polymers, the Confidant is self-adjusting and expands when a magazine is inserted but still has enough retention for a snug fit. It can be worn inside the waistband or outside the waistband. Fitments include but are not limited to Springfield Hellcat, SIG P320 and P365, Smith & Wesson Shield, and various Glocks. $30; CrossbreedHolsters.com

MAGVIEW

Utilizing strong rare-earth magnets built into the adapters, the MAGVIEW system creates an incredibly stable platform, requiring only a super thin stainless-steel plate adhered to the phone to secure the device to the optic. The design allows for the same device to be used on the spotting scope or binocular adapter, interchangeably. The end result is an intuitive and multifunctional system that captures crisp photos and video while enhancing the user experience behind the glass. $99.99-169.99; www.magviewgear.com

Remington EDC Drop Point Knife

The new Everyday Carry series from Remington includes this 4.75-inch liner-lock knife with a black G10 textured handle. Blade length is 3.5 inches and is of drop-point design. Finish is satin stone-washed, and the blade flips open via a ball-bearing pivot system with a gold-ring accent. Comes with a tip-up pocket clip. $49; remington.com

Venture Gear Tactical VGTG20 Medium-Duty Operator Gloves

Breathable and moisture wicking, these are great gloves for range days as well as concealed carry. The synthetic leather palm will provide a great grip on your handgun, and the gloves are machine washable and touchscreen compatible. The thumb is reinforced for long life, and the cuffs feature carrier loops.

Hawke Optics Micro Reflex Sight

Built with an aluminum housing and multicoated lens, the Micro Reflex has eight brightness levels. It has an auto illumination mode that puts the sight to sleep when it’s motionless for five minutes and wakes up automatically when motion is detected. The three m.o.a. dot is powered by a CR2032 battery, and its slide-out tray means you don’t have to remove the sight to replace the battery. The Micro Reflex is on the Docter footprint, and it also ships with a Weaver rail adapter (shown attached here). $179; HawkeOptics.com

Streamlight ProTac 2AA-X USB

The ProTac® 2AA-X USB is a multi-fuel, tactical light that uses a rechargeable lithium polymer battery pack or two AA alkaline batteries. It produces 550 lumens, 10,250 candela and runs for 2.25 hours. About the size of a marker, it conveniently fits in your pocket so you can always carry it with you.. $105; streamlight.com

Elite Tactical Systems Omega Glock 19 Magazines

Available for the Glock 19, this magazine features a translucent polymer body so it’s easy to tell what kind of ammo is inside and how much. Plus it has a military-grade Teflon-infused coating for corrosion and friction resistance. The feed lips are hardened steel, and its Omega joint and frame wrap promise 100 percent drop-free reliability. An ergonomic floorplate design provides an easy grip, and its lightweight construction means it weighs half what a steel mag does. $26; ETSgroup.us

Hornady Big Shot Collar and Leash

Walk your faithful companion in style. Both the collar ($19) and leash ($26) boast the Hornady colors and logo, and they’re made of durable materials and premium hardware. The adjustable collar features a polymer snap closure and a metal leash ring. The leash is six feet long and has a metal clip. www.hornady.com

Tetra Gun Obex Prime

This grade 1 light grease is fluoropolymer-based, and it penetrates and coats gun parts to create a barrier to fouling and reduce friction and wear. Tetra Gun told me you can use this grease anywhere you would apply gun oil, and the formulation means you can go longer between applications. Obex Prime comes in a one-ounce tube. $15; TetraGunCare.com

Hoppe’s Lead B Gone

Reduce your exposure to potentially toxic metals by cleaning off your hands after each range session with these specially treated wipes.
