Uni-Max Green
Laser Sight  Lasermax

Green laser sights offer the highest visibility and fastest acquisition for the unaided human eye. The advantages of the green color spectrum are easily apparent when comparing the Uni-Max Green to any other Class IIIa red laser. Uni-Max Green appears visibly brighter and stronger in any lighting environment. Weighing less than one ounce, and about the size of pocket matchbox, the Uni-Max Green is a rugged precision instrument — superbly accurate, energy efficient, combat tough, weather worthy and pulsing for the highest visibility and fastest retinal ID.

For more information, please call 1-800-Laser03, or visit them on the Web at: www.lasermax.com.


The Ohai Holster
CrossBreed Holsters

New from CrossBreed, the Ohai is designed to replace the floppy holster found in some concealed carry bags. It features a molded Kydex scabbard mounted to a leather backer with a Velcro backing. The Ohai can be used in any sling, pack, fanny bag, or pouch with a Velcro lined pocket. It can also be mounted to many surfaces such as the underside of a desk or table to provide quick yet discreet access to a firearm. Using the Velcro attachment, the Ohai can be moved from surface mount to pack and back again easily.

For more information on this versatile holster, check out the complete line on the Web at: www.crossbreedholsters.com or call them at: 1-888-732-5011.


Impression Embossed Belts 
The Beltman

Jim Speidel, The Beltman, added a valuable piece of equipment to his shop this past November. What’s new is a customer-requested impression machine that permanently compresses the fibers of the leather with an embossing pattern that makes the belt slightly stiffer than it already is. The Impression embossing is available on any 1.5" bull-hide belt, regardless of whether you have ordered an internal stiffener of Velcro lining.

Check out the patterns on the belts shown here then go to www.thebeltman.net for a close-up view. You can talk to The Beltman himself if you have any questions at 1-919-387-1997.


Crimson Trace Grip
North American Arms

North American Arms is pleased to announce the availability of Crimson Trace Laser Grips for their large-frame .380 ACP and the .32 NAA Guardian semiautomatic pistols. The Crimson Trace LSD is integrated into the pistol’s grips, adding minimal girth to the grip frame and offering a rock-solid point of attachment. While the grips can be easily attached to those pistols already in the field, NAA is making an introductory offer of pre-installed grips at a substantial discount over the individual price of the grips and pistol separately.

For more information please visit: www.northamericanarms.com.


Flash Hole Deburring Tools
Redding Reloading

During the manufacturing process, burrs that can cause erratic ignition and velocities are often left inside a case’s flash hole. Redding now manufactures two different tools for the removal of flash hole burrs. The Universal tool is for .22 cal - .338 cal cases that have .080" flash holes. This tool controls the cutting depth with a built in stop and has a cross-drilled hole for chip relief. The small tool is designed for .17 cal - .20 cal cases with .060" flash holes.

Both tools make use of the Redding Stainless steel pilot stops. Give them a call at 1-607-753-3331 or visit them on the Web at:

RollyPoly Extreme
Maxpedition

The #0233 Rollypoly Extreme is a radical evolution of the Maxpedition’s unique sequential folding pouch concept. With its many layers, this product is very complex to build yet folds up so compactly. Two frontal pockets allow for organization while an independent hydration sleeve with drainage grommet allows carry of a 100 oz. hydration reservoir. Front panel is gusseted allowing contents to expand away from wearer’s body. Lid and retention flap can fold on itself to be out of the way when accessing contents in main compartment. The Rollypoly Extreme is light, comfortable, and provides a high degree of organization; best of all, remains out of the way until you need to use it.

Log on to www.maxpedition.com for more information.
