Sheriff Kimber LAPD SWAT Custom II
To commerate Kimber's many years of service for the LAPD SWAT team, Kimber released a limited edition pistol to thank the LAPD officers for trusting their lives to Kimber .45's pistols. Sheriff , a reknowned custom gun company in Japan, has done an absolutely stunning job of replicating this beautiful .45 hand gun in airsoft form. Quality is as close as it gets to the real deal, almost every part of this pistol is manufactered by Sheriff, those that are not are most likely real steel components. Yet another stunning master-piece by the gunsmiths at Sheriff.

New Trigger Happy Elcan Replica Scope
Trigger Happy of Korea has come out with a new replica scope of the Elcan optical sight used by the Canadian Military. This scope is pretty well made and definately looks almost completely identical to its real counterpart. The crosshair is exactly like the real Elcan and it can even illuminate in red or green for low light conditions. The Trigger Happy Elcan replica scope comes with an extended filter component aswell as front and rear scope covers. But the retail price of this scope is around the $300 CDN mark which is a bit more expensive then a real surplus Elcan scope with no tritium.


New Western Arms Colt MEU
The real Colt MEU is basically a modified M1911A1 designed to be the primary backup weapon for the Marines. The modifications done to the MEU focuses on accuracy, with a custom-made sights by PWS, Bar-Sto barrel, Pachmayr rubber wrap-around grips, Videki long aluminum trigger and a Colt Commander rowel hammer, it is no suprise why it is sometimes referred to as "near match" or "combat accuratized". Western Arms has announced that they will be producing an airsoft version of the MEU and it will feature a number of new improvements to increase accuracy, durability and performance.

Tokyo Marui Sig P226 GBB Spotted!
Just spotted at a gun show in Japan, Tokyo Marui have redisplayed their prototype Sig Sauer P226 gas blow back pistol at their booth with several enhanced features. As some of you might remember, TM had announced that they were developing a Sig P226 GBB about 2 years ago when they displayed a non-functioning model at another airsoft gun show in Osaka.


This Sig P226 prototype was alot more closer to completion,sporting many new enhancements and features. Most obvious was the new grip panels which look very authentic. In addition, sporting new special forces specification markings on the frame ane slide, this is to replicate the real steel Sig Sauer P226 Navy which is a limited edition version of the standard Sig P226 with enhancements designed especially designed for the Navy Seals.

Expect this the TM Sig P226 have improved power, efficiency and accuracy. It uses a modifed blow back system similar to the TM Desert Eagle Hard-Kick and TM M9 Chrome, expect a strong and reliable blow back action from this pistol.
This is gonna be one hot pistol when it arrives in Canada.

New Smokey's Gun Factory 2-Way Bipod
Check out this new product from Smokey's Gun Factory. SGF will be producing a M60 style steel bipod that can be used in the conventional upright position or upside down. This allows you to mount the bipod inverted on guns that have a top rail, similar to the AMP DSR No.1 sniper rifle. This is an all purpose bipod suitable for almost any rifle, sniper rifle or SAW. Although I personally think it looks kinda weird on a VSR-10.

New KSC M93R-C 10th Anniversary Edition
To celebrate KSC's 10th Year Anniversary, they are releasing a special edition Beretta M93R dubbed the M93R-C. The M93R-C is a true beauty, it uses a blow-back system that is a modified version of the 2nd Version gas system. Performance and reliability is greatly improved, you will definately appreciate its performance if you are M93R fan. The M93-C is sports new black grips and was designed to resemble the one used by the CIA.

Weighing in at 985g, the M93-C is heavier than its predeccesors thanks do new heavy weight slide and with a magazine capacity of 38+1 rounds, you do have an advantage over most other airsoft pistols with 20 some capacity. This also means you dont need to be shy on the 3-Shot burst or full-auto firing mode function, although emptying a clip on full auto takes only a few seconds. A newly designed compensator helps lower the recoil in burst modes to increase accuracy, the gas is expelled through holes put in key positions of the compensator to push the gun back down after each shot.

Also new on the M93R-C is a new drum-click hop-up system that is a very welcoming new feature. Adjustment of the hop-up does not require disassembling the gun, this is a suttle but very practical function, if you own gbb's that dont have this feature, you'll know what I mean.

New Western Arms Colt Delta Elite SCW
Western Arms have announced that they will be releasing yet another .45 variant, the Delta Elite. The new WA Delta Elite is a single stack that uses the WA SCW gas blowback system which has proven performance. The real Delta Elite is based on the Colt 1911A1 but modifed spefically for the Delta Force to use a large calibre 10mm ammunition with a 8 round magazine. The WA Delta Elite will be available in matte black or silver finish.
