LAN World Announces New Standard In AR-15 Magazines
LAN World, Inc. is excited to announce the importation and distribution of the new AR-15 rifle magazines from Hera Arms, Germany. These 30-round magazines feature a rear window that allows the operator to view the actual round count while the weapon is in use.

The windowed mags have round count marks at the 20- and 30-round positions and the window is smoke colored. This new magazines sets the standard in AR-15 magazines, especially with the current supply and demand issues of 30-round magazines in the U.S. “With the release of the completely new design as well as the rear site window we believe this to be the new standard for AR-15 magazines" says Chris Bieling, President of LAN World, Inc.

Auto Ordnance Re-Introduces The Thompson Custom 1911TC
USA based Kahr Firearms Group is proud to announce the re-introduction of the Thompson Custom 1911TC with stainless steel frame and slide. The pistol was first introduced in early 2008 with a limited production run of 100 units. After the 2008 presidential election, production shifted away from the 1911TC in order to meet increasing high demand for concealed carry pistols. Improved manufacturing processes over the past 5 years, including the use of high-precision equipment with fewer set-ups, has reduced the cost to appeal to consumers without sacrificing quality or consistency in the performance. The Thompson Custom 1911 frame is made from 420 stainless steel casting and the slide features a solid stainless steel billet. The 1911TC features black low-profile front and rear iron sights that are dovetailed into the slide. The ejection port is flared and the slide has front and rear serrations machined at a slight angle. The mainspring housing is checkered and the front strap is machined checkered at 20 lines per inch. Additional features include an adjustable trigger, combat hammer, full-length recoil guide rod, extended beavertail grip safety; extended magazine release; checkered laminate grips and a checkered slide stop lever. The .45 ACP has a 5 inch barrel; the length is 8.5 inches overall and weighs just 39 ounces. The 1911TC is shipped with one 7-round magazine. Finishing features include an attractive matte finish on the frame and slide and the markings are laser-engraved, including the distinctive Thompson bullet logo on the slide, and a Thompson bullet logo inlay on the grip.
