The Wing<\/a>. It was apparently introduced at the beginning of November, but their announcement was unfortunately buried in our very busy email inbox. Anyway, it\u2019s a sprung, flip-down thumb ledge that attaches to your pistol with certain weapon lights and lets you use a number of stock EDC and duty holsters.<\/p>\nHere\u2019s their press release . . .<\/p>\n
Antimatter Industries and Tactical Development are proud to release The Wing\u2014a spring-loaded thumb ledge that collapses into many light compatible holsters. The two variations replace the lug of a Surefire X300\/X400 (cross-bolt version only) or a Streamlight TLR7 Sub.<\/em><\/p>\nThe why:<\/strong> For years, competition shooters have been using thumb ledges to control muzzle climb. This keeps your gun flatter and groups tighter, enabling you to shoot faster because your red dot doesn\u2019t come off target during recoil. <\/em><\/p>\nThis raises the question: Why wouldn\u2019t everyone want those perks in an actual gunfight when lives are on the line? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nThe problem:<\/strong> Large aftermarket ledges require special competition holsters. The military and law enforcement are usually only allowed to use approved or issued lvl. 2-3 holsters. To get around this, people have stippled or cut into the pistol frame itself. That\u2019s cool, but it doesn\u2019t offer a lot of surface area; most of your thumb is hanging off and you don\u2019t get the same control as a wide ledge.<\/em><\/p>\nThe solution:<\/strong> The patent pending Wing automatically folds out when you draw your pistol, resulting in one of the largest thumb ledges out there to control muzzle climb. When you reholster it, the Wing simply collapses back against the slide of the gun. The Wing adds only 1.5mm to the width to the gun, allowing you to use it with your duty\/military issued Safariland holsters. It can also fit in many other kydex OWB holsters made for Surefire x300 lights. <\/em><\/p>\nCompatibility:<\/strong> The Wing is compatible with any Sig 320 and military\u2019s M17\/M18 when using a Surefire X300 pic rail light. (The one with the flathead bolt; not the quick release version.) Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re already making the glock variant for Gen 3-5 pistols.<\/em><\/p>\n
