TX22 American-Made Rimfire Race-Gun

MSRP: $484.85

Taurus crashed the .22-cal pistol party two years ago with an American-made, duty-sized, single-action-only striker-fire that ran better than some of the higher-priced competition. Now, there’s a “competition-ready” version that combines all of the reliability of the original 10- or 16-shot TX22 with the “race-gun” options popular in competitive shooting. What you end up with is an outlandishly fun-to-shoot pistol that is just as handy on the range as it is in the squirrel woods. You can learn more at TaurusUSA.com.

 

 

 

CCI Clean-22 Suppressor

MSRP: $33.99/200

These .22 Long Rifle rounds are loaded with a polymer-coated bullet specifically designed to reduce lead fouling in suppressors by up to 60 percent. This means less lead exposure, less time cleaning and more time for shooting. You can order from CCI-Ammunition.com or pick some up at your preferred brick-and-mortar.

 

Undertac Infantry Boxer Briefs

MSRP: $24.99

These men’s underwear were designed specifically for Special Forces personnel, but they’re just as comfortable for us normal folks. Moisture-wicking and antimicrobial and with a covert “escape and evasion” pocket for travel security, they’re available at SierraWhiskeyCo.com.

 

 

 

Winchester USA Valor Ammunition

MSRP: $25/20

Part of every purchase of this limited-edition series of rifle, shotgun and handgun ammunition goes to support the Folds of Honor charity, which organizes educational scholarships for the children of fallen and disabled service members. It’s also pretty darn good ammo. Go to Winchester.com to learn more about how you can help.

 

 

Night Fision Costa Ludus

MSRP: $110

Designed in a partnership with Chris Costa, these night sights feature a proprietary Night Fision “Perfect Dot” on the front of the slide and a horizontal tritium bar at the rear. What this accomplishes is a reduction in confusion between dots during rapid target acquisition. They’re available in orange, green and white front units for the Glock 17/19/22 series as well as the 42/43 line at NightFision.com.

 

XS 870 +2 Mag Extension

This unit from well-respected pistol-sight manufacturer XS Sights is American-made, exactingly machined from 6061 aluminum, accepts standard stabilizing clamps and adds another two rounds to your 870’s capacity. It ships with a Wolff spring and a detent-removal tool from XSSights.com.
