Guns and all of the gear and equipment associated with them keep you prepared for whatever may come your way.

Waistband-hidden Holster

Engineered by Blade-Tech and field tested by Viking Tactics, 5.11 Tactical's Appendix IWB holster is designed to go inside the waistband and provides a range of concealed carry options in the appendix or kidney positions. It features a light clip for your handheld tactical light and is made from a heat-, grease-, and oil-resistant polymer.

Multi-functional Night Eyes

American Technologies Network's ATN PS7 is a lightweight, high-performance night vision goggle that can be used as a hand-held goggle or head-mounted with the hands-free, flip-up head mount assembly that comes standard. It can also be used as a helmet-mounted model with an optional MICH or PAGST helmet mount kit. The goggle is available with several different high-resolution image intensifier tubes and in 3x, 5x and 8x lenses. It requires one 3-volt lithium CR123A battery or one 1.5 AA battery.

From Pistol to Carbine in Under 10 Seconds

EMA Tactical's RONI Pistol Carbine Conversion Kit can convert your pistol into an accurate lightweight short-barreled carbine in less than 10 seconds. Insert your handgun in this hinged polymer and aluminum carbine frame and secure it without disassembly of the pistol. The only modification to the pistol is snapping on a patented slide-charging handle extension. The RONI Pistol Carbine Conversion Kit features a collapsible stock, adjustable cheekpiece, and four Picatinny rails.

Pocket Holster for Discreet Carry

The Pocket Shot is DeSantis Gunhide's latest way to conceal and rapidly access your small auto. Style 110 disguises itself as a wallet but can be brought into action instantly without removing the gun. It is made of black leather and is ambidextrous. In addition to its original offerings, the holster is now also available for the S&W Bodyguard .380 and in a separate size that fits the Kimber Solo, Kahr PM9/40, and Rohrbaugh R9.

Ambidextrous Striker-fired Autoloaders

FNH USA's FNS-9 and FNS-40 striker-fired autoloaders feature a frame design that includes an ultra-low bore axis to reduce felt recoil and two interchangeable backstraps to personalize the grip fit to the user. A weapon light can be attached to the MIL-STD 1913 (Picatinny) underframe rail. These FNS models are fully ambidextrous, allowing the user to access and activate the manual thumb safety levers, slide-stop lever, and magazine release button with either hand.

Polymer Formed Retention Holsters

Hogue's PowerSpeed Polymer Formed Retention Holsters with patented Automatic Retention System (ARS) include a cant-adjustable paddle and belt plate. When the handgun is holstered, it "locks" into place, providing an extra level of security over the standard open-top, friction-style holsters. A simple straight draw is possible when disengaging the ARS with your thumb while obtaining a natural shooting grip. The compact holster features fully automatic retention, and its contoured profile fits closely to the body, reducing "firearm printing." Available for most Semi-auto handguns.

Concealed .40 that Packs a Punch

Kahr Arms' CM40 polymer subcompact pistol delivers more punch to concealed carriers seeking a smaller weapon chambered in .40 S&W. The CM40 costs about a third as much as the 9mm counterpart it is based on, the CM9. The pistol offers one fewer round of capacity (5+1) and weighs 15.8 ounces unloaded. The CM9 weighs 14 ounces. The gun arrives with a staked front sight and adjustable white-dot rear sight, so installing night sights requires a gunsmith.

Powerful Compact Pistol

Ruger developed the LC9 as a 9mm version of its Lightweight Compact Pistol (LCP). The double-action-only hammer-fired sub-compact pistol works well as a backup gun for off-duty law enforcement officers. It provides a seven-round capacity and retails for $443. The LC9 is chambered for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge. Like the LCP it is small at six inches long and less than an inch wide, and light, weighing just over 17 ounces thanks to its glass-filled nylon frame. And it's significantly more powerful than Ruger's .380.

Dry Bullet Swallower

Savage Range Systems' Dry Snail Bullet Trap features the patent-pending Savage Air Barrier System (ABS). This "closed loop system" uses "positive pressure" at the throat of the trap to create an air barrier that keeps spent lead particles inside the patented Deceleration Chamber. Because the ABS doesn't draw air from the Deceleration Chamber, it will not collect lead dust, bullet fragments, or jacket materials within the chamber. This Dry Snail system is recommended for semi-enclosed outdoor ranges and for indoor applications where the Wet Snail Trap is not desired.

Cocked and Locked SAO 9mm

SIG Sauer's P938 is intended for concealed carry. It offers the ballistic advantage of the 9mm cartridge in a platform similar in size to the P238 pistol. The single-action-only SIG 938 is available in several configurations: Blackwood, Equinox, Rosewood, and Extreme. Full-size SIGlite night sights are standard. A TruGlo tritium-fiber night sight is available as an upgrade. Capacity is 6+1 rounds. The 938s range in price from $795 to $823.

High-Powered Rail Light

The "HP" in Streamlight's TLR-1 HP series stands for high-powered. Both the standard and strobe version of this powerful light designed for long guns produce a long-range targeting beam that reaches more than 400 meters and feature 200-lumen output and deep-dish parabolic reflectors. The lights can be quickly mounted directly to all Picatinny rails and weapons with Glock-style rails using Streamlight's one-handed snap-on interface. The lights use C4 LED technology and include rail locating keys for mounting to a variety of rails and lithium batteries.

Small and Mighty Suppressors

SureFire's Mini and Micro suppressors work with SureFire flash hider and muzzle brake suppressor adapters. SureFire's Mini is the company's flagship 5.56mm suppressor at 5 inches in length and 14 ounces in weight. The Micro is designed for weapons with 14.5-inch barrels; it measures 4 inches and weighs 12 ounces. Like the Mini, it features SureFire’s Fast Attach system for rapid attachment and detachment on weapons equipped with a compatible SureFire adapter. It adds only 1.75 inches to the length of the rifle. The Monster Mini arrives with front-end teeth, allowing officers to use the suppressor as a window breaker or DNA collector.
