This week on TGC News, Holosun goes Elite, Citadel brings 12 gauges of fun, and new stuff
from Alien Gear, Lone Wolf, Brownells, and Mean Arms!
Welcome back to another episode of TGC News, the only gun news show that covers things
you actually care about, my name is Jon Patton.
If You watch this show every week, do me a favor and smash that like button, I want to
see if we can hit 3k likes in the first 24 hours!
Before we get into the news it's very important to take a minute to acknowledge the folks
that have given their lives to protect and defend this beautiful country we live in.
This is first airing on Memorial Day and I want to make sure everyone out there is taking
the time to think about how we got this far as a nation.
Now the news.
First up this week is a new optic from a company that has been slinging out a bunch of new
stuff this year.
With the introduction of their sort of affordable but premium Elite Series last year, holosun
has jumped up a level.
They made a name for themselves by offering good quality red dot optics at really solid
pricing.
Between Holosun and Primary Arms, the sub 300 dollar optic market has never been the
same.
Well in an effort to keep expanding and growing, holosun has introduced a new version of their
HS510C optic from their elite line called surprisingly the HS510C Elite.
On the surface it's fairly simple, an open reflex style sight that looks like an RMR
and an Eotech had a baby.
Digging deeper there are a few things that start to set it apart from other options.
First and foremost, the solar cell which is probably my favorite thing on Holosun optics.
It's basically a built in trickle charger and light sensor for your optic.
Beyond that, they have the "shake awake" feature which means it comes on when you move
your optic and shuts off after a user input segment of time.
THAT is pretty slick.
Moving on from there, the hood portion of the optic is made from titanium which is great
for strength.
It also has a multi reticle system to choose between a circle and dot, just a dot or just
a circle.
On top of that, the reticle is now Green.
That might not sound significant but it's actually easier for the human eye to pick
up green light AND according to holosun the new diode used for these green reticles is
significantly more power efficient than their red options.
That means the rating of up to 50,000 hours of battery life might be legit.
Now here's the kicker, you get some neat features and you don't have to pay a lot, The MSRP
on this HS510C Elite is $352.93 weirdest MSRP ever.
Now we've been working with Holosun for a little while now so you guys know how I feel
about their stuff, but what I want to know is how many of you would grab this over a
tube style red dot optic?
And In...
News, Citadel has introduced a new AK style shotgun called
the RSS1.
Long story short, it's a VEPR 12 gauge with a 20 inch barrel and some new furniture on
it.
And a couple of other tweaks.
Starting in the back there is a fancy stock they're calling a mono stock.
In the past it was always thumbhole stocks because somehow a thumbhole stock proves to
pass the sporting purposes exemption with importation laws.
Moving forward, the dust cover has a rail on it which is cool.
The forend and gas tube have a nice texture to them and under the front sight base is
another picatinny rail for mounting a sweet laser or light.
And my favorite feature, the bolt lock button which is between the trigger guard and mag
well and then the bolt unlock near the pistol grip.
Not groundbreaking BUT its very cool to have those on any AK style gun.
MSRP on this thing is a not too awful 799 bucks.
We covered a different shotgun like this a few weeks ago that was an AK shotgun disguised
as a bullpup and I think these two are from the same line of thinking.
Find new ways to get these damn things into the country and everyone wins.
Now, I'm not sure that I would personally rock one of these as a primary over my normal
semi auto shotguns but it could be something fun to have in the collection.
It's time for some Rapid Fire news!
We have a bunch of stuff to hit so HERE WE GO!
First, Mean Arms, the company that came up with a really slick way to load compliant
fixed mag ARs through the loading gate has expanded on that idea and is now making one
for AR10's.
With the growing popularity of AR10 308's out there, this makes a lot of sense, MSRP
is a hefty 59.99.
Next, Brownells is expanding their line of gun offerings with the addition of the BRN
22 which is essentially a stripped Ruger 10/22 receiver.
This is fantastic if you are looking to build a ground up custom gun and don't want to pay
to buy a regular 10/22 to start.
The picatinny railed version goes for 89.99 and the non railed for 10 bucks less.
Lone Wolf, best known for being a giant in the aftermarket Glock accessory game, has
introduced a new slide thats grabbing a ton of attention including mine.
This is the signature series Number 23 slide.
There are a ton more in the series but look at this thing.
It's weird and rounded and ugly and beautiful all at the same time.
The price tag is going to hurt though.
The only way to get this is to buy one of their blank slides at 175 bucks and then pay
an additional 200 on top of that to get it milled this way.
Certainly not the worst we've seen here on TGC News, but not cheap either.
And rounding us out, Alien Gear released a new in-car holster as part of their shape
shift modular holster lineup called the driver defense holster.
The idea is that it straps around the bottom of your drivers seat and keeps the gun right
between your legs.
Making a good in-car holster system is a very challenging thing with not only the variety
of guns and people, but then add in the variety of vehicles on the road, the complexity goes
through the roof.
I think the short coming with this one is that it requires a car where you can actually
get a strap around the bottom seat cushion.
I know in most newer cars there are so many electronics and other nonsense that it just
wouldn't be possible and even if you could, you wouldn't want to mess up the seat itself
by strapping it tight enough to be useful.
MSRP on the driver defense holster is 59 bucks.
Our Guntuber of the Week is someone that I've known for the better part of 5 years, The
channel has evolved over the years and the main series called The Weekly Drill Down is
quite possibly one of the most fun recurring gun shows on YouTube right now.
Not to mention that the guy who runs it, Whitey, has been a very good friend to me over the
years.
Say hello to FourGuysGuns.
Definitely make sure you get subscribed and tell them TGC sent you and of course there
are links down in the description as always.
your questions from all over social media this week the questions are again coming from
the gun Collective Facebook page,
Juan that is a great question, I think the best answer is that it depends on the kid.
Only you can judge when to teach your children about things like gun safety.
I've seen kids as young as three shooting and I've seen kids that are 10 whose parents
won't let them shoot yet.
Maturity and mindset matter a lot here.
The best way is to show people that it's fun and worth their time and money.
This is the challenge that Firearms instructors battle everyday.
How to get people interested in spending money on a service that if all goes well they may
never need.
Getting people interested in things like that is not easy but including them without being
an overbearing douche, and screaming, you have to go get training!
Getting away from that crap is what is really going to help us as a community.
Well Kyle it's a simple answer, vote out the jerks in office that support that crap and
repeal the law requiring the list.
It's backwards thinking to try and make the manufacturer pay money to sell you guns.
That's silly and we would do better to fight in our state capitals than to try and force
gun companies to comply with BS laws.
And hey, if you want your question answered right here on
TGC News, send it to me over on TheGunCollective.Com.
That is it for this week's show.
