Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'The Big Three' event?

'The Big Three' event is an annual gathering hosted by David Fortier, bringing together firearms industry leaders and gun writers. It serves as a platform for manufacturers to showcase upcoming products and for writers to gain hands-on experience and provide feedback, influencing future articles and product development.

What are the key new products featured at The Big Three event?

Key new products include Action Target's self-healing polymer targets with digital shot counters, TADINE Tech's Straight Jacket barrel system for enhanced accuracy and heat management, and TSD Combat Systems' custom Glocks with RMR sights. Wolf Performance Ammunition also announced new rifle imports and ammunition.

How does TADINE Tech's Straight Jacket system improve rifle accuracy?

The Straight Jacket system applies a proprietary sleeve and medium to a rifle barrel, increasing rigidity and rapidly dissipating heat. This prevents barrel flex and 'walking,' maintaining consistent accuracy even during rapid firing sequences, and reportedly improves accuracy on platforms like the Romanian PSL significantly.

What are the benefits of TSD Combat Systems' custom Glock pistols?

TSD Combat Systems recontours Glock frames for better ergonomics and equips them with slides made from 17-4 Aerospace stainless steel, featuring a proprietary finish and a Trijicon RMR red dot sight. Suppressor height iron sights allow for co-witnessing, enabling shooters to use their existing skills with the red dot optic.
