Being a pretty frugal individual, I usually dont buy all the gun magazines that are on the newsstand. In fact, I usually wait a few weeks until my friends are done with theirs and then they give them to me. I cant recall the last time I actually paid for a copy of Guns & Ammo. Anyway, since I dont read those magazines as often as I probably should I am sometimes left in the dark about new products that might otherwise interest me. The Woolrich not-a-tactical-vest in the previous post is a good example. Buddy of mine dropped off an assortment of gun rags yesterday and here's some of the new products advertised that I found interesting.

Bushmaster Carbon 15 9MM Pistol – So Bushmaster dropped their AR-10 because they needed to focus on their AR-15 market but they have the manufacturing capacity to waste on their very own Tec-9???

Leupold Zero Point Magnetic Illuminated Boresighter – Yeah, better add one of these to the shopping list.

Taurus PT1911 .45 ACP Pistol – Still waiting to get to handle one of these. Taurus, these days, makes good guns at a good price.

Gave one of the LMI his Christmas gift today. Since Tactical Tailor was having a big sale, the thought that the 3-day pack might make a good gift. I think its safe to say that the Tactical Tailor bag is the official bag of the LMI.

CostCo has some made-in-China handcrank LED flashlights for sale. $20 for two. I try not to buy Chinese made stuff if I can, but if you want a good light to keep in a vehicle and not have to worry about batteries, these things might be for you. I've a half dozen of the Baygen flashlights so I took a pass on them but am thinking now that maybe I should pick up a pair to stash away.
