Introducing the LaserMax Spartan Laser Series

The new LaserMax Spartan Laser Series, available in both red and green, offers several advantages over other rail-mounted lasers on the market today.

Included in this new product is the new Rail Vise technology developed by LaserMax, which eliminates any need for laser housing options or adapters. The system is also fully adjustable to mount anywhere on a handgun rail, depending on the operator's comfort.

LaserMax Spartan Laser Series The activation pads are located on either side of the laser and have been elongated to ensure easy on/off access. The Rail Vise anchoring is designed to remain solid through extensive live-fire use.

The laser also features an integrated rail feature, allowing the user to mount additional accessories. Instead of choosing between a laser and a light, a user can now mount both onto the same rail.

LaserMax Spartan Laser Series The laser itself is programmable to emit either a steady beam or high-visibility pulsed beam, both of which automatically deactivate after 10 minutes to save battery life. The red laser will last more than five hours on a single battery, while the green laser will last about an hour. The laser also features simple windage and elevation adjustments using a hex tool.

The laser body itself is made of fiberglass-reinforced nylon and weighs just over half an ounce. Any exposure to rain will cause no damage, in addition to the shock-proof nature of the device which will stand up over repeated firings.

The suggested retail price for the red laser is $99, while the green laser will retail for $149.

The physical, aural and visual feedback that airsoft training offers is more engaging than dryfire practice. The following list includes the gear and target arrangement that I've been using to practice at home. I've also added a number of drills that I've adapted from live-fire training to build certain skills applicable to personal defense.

Pocket-Pistol Carry Tips and Tricks

Pocket carry, as a method of concealed carry for a defensive firearm, can be a practical option when done right. This is especially true during the colder months when heavy outer garments can obstruct access to a traditional waistline holster. Former U.S. Navy SEAL Jeff Gonzales, president of Trident Concepts, joins G&A contributor Kimberly Heath-Chudwin to discuss guns, training and gear, including Blackhawk's TecGrip holster that can make pocket carry more successful.

Guns & Ammo TV: 6.5 Creedmoor vs. .375 H&H

The 6.5 Creedmoor and the .375 H&H are almost complete opposites, or are they? The 6.5 Creedmoor is a newer and popular cartridge that transcends long-range precision rifle shooting and hunting big game. The .375 H&H is more than a century old, but still a popular and versatile choice for hunting big and dangerous game. For this shoot, Pro Tom Beckstrand, former U.S. Army Special Operations officer and sniper team leader, faces off against Guns & Ammo TV cameraman Ben LaLonde in a challenge that highlights the differences between these two cartridges.
