L2D Combat showcased their custom Glock slides and components at Trigger Con 2017. Their slides feature aesthetically pleasing and functional asymmetrical cocking serrations, achieved through five-axis machining, designed for enhanced grip in humid conditions and to prevent snagging. The company also offers custom barrels and is developing a 90-degree flat trigger.

This video provides an in-depth look at Aero Precision's new ATLAS (Aero Taper-Lock Attachment System) handguard, showcased at Trigger Con 2017. Jeff from Aero Precision details the innovative Taper-Lock mounting system, which uses two tapered wedges and a reverse-threaded screw for a secure lockup. The handguard is designed for a slim profile, measuring 1.35 inches in diameter, and will be available in M-LOK configurations in lengths of 7, 9, 12, and 15 inches, with the 15 and 12-inch models launching first. Pricing is expected to be aggressive, ranging from $115 to $150, making it an accessible option for many AR-15 builders.

This video showcases a novel magnetic optic mount for pistols, demonstrating its quick attachment and detachment capabilities. The speaker tests its retention by racking the slide, highlighting its potential as a firearm innovation. While initially shown on a Glock, the mount is available for other platforms like Sig Sauer and HK.
