Though workable, adaptor plates are a less-than-ideal solution to fitting myriad MRDS to factory-cut slides. Newer, innovative mounting systems and the gradual standardization of footprints continue to improve the situation. It’s interesting to note that the original, modern miniaturized optic suitable for mounting on a duty handgun slide—the Trijicon RMR—debuted 14 …

It’s a sad day and marked the end of a nearly two-century era in New York. Add another tally on the board for a hostile gun control Blue state in the Northeast suffocating and pushing out a storied, tradition-rich firearm manufacturer that decided enough was enough. RemArms, the latest iteration …
