The long time magazine manufacturer Metalform has been purchased by a large manufacturing conglomerate.
The company plans on continuing Metalforms tradition of fine magazines and even plans on some improvements. The following pictures show a few 1911 magazines along with a 4506 magazine sporting followers that are now coated with titanium nitrite.

Browning was kind enough to have several of the Citori 725s and several of the new A5 for us to shoot.
I only shot the Citori and it was nice. It shouldered fast and swung well.
It is nice to see the traditional look and style of the A5 built with modern internal design.

Aimpoint has made their own tiny mount for the micro sight and Ruger MK-III.
It is nice quality and a really small package. Only about 3 ounces total.

Hogue has also added to the G10 family with grips for the Smith and Wesson J-frames as well as the polymer framed Bodyguard family of revolvers.
These are available in a variety of colors.

This was a busy year for Hogue, including the new ZOMBIE staff.
This grip will work on all of the Smith & Wesson Centennial revolvers and the polymer framed Bodyguards.
These grips have the same recoil absorbing back strap as the grips used on the big 500s. They are a bit longer than the Bantams and the hard plastic locking piece is right where your shirt or jacket usually hangs up on rubber grips.
That should make them a BIG favorite with the S&W pocket pistol crowd.
I want them on my 340PD and M&P340 pistols.
They can be removed from the firearm using a cartridge casing.
These are not yet in production. Probably 2 months or more out.
