pmcimagazine.com With a range of reticles to choose from such as the VMR-2 MOA, VMR-2 MRAD and JM-1 MOA, shooters can have plenty of options to fit their shooting styles. The Crossfire 2 MOA red dot has been gathering a lot of buzz for first time AR and optic owners looking for a starter set up at an entry level price point. Add these to the list of items to come for review here and at PMCI Magazine in the coming months. Finally, we come to the least high tech, simplest design that left us wondering, “Why didn’t we think of that?” from Mag Storage Solutions. While these aren’t new to the market, this is the first year their display of products has really begun to catch peoples eye. Their flagship products include plastic racks that securely hold rifle and pistol magazines as well as ammunition in the “dead spaces” of most gun safes such as the inside of the door and left and right interior walls. Let’s face it, at the end of the day, we can have all the cool guns we can afford along with the most secure safes on the planet, but we still need a place to conveniently store the accessories as well. These mag storage units offer affordable solutions to crowed gun safes and junk boxes surrounding them which is why they round out our top products of SHOT SHOW 2018. As a personal bucket list moment, there was a stop back at the Torrent Suppressor booth to meet a living legend, Richard “Dick” Marcinko, the first Commander of the US Navy’s SEAL Team 6 and Red Cell as well as a Vietnam veteran. Now retired, Marcinko’s accomplishments include being a bestselling author, radio talk show host, motivational speaker and military consultant. Just being at the show and sharing not only his experience but his generations viewpoints added intrinsic value to the SHOT SHOW experience for this seasoned gun writer. 8
