XTech Tactical Expands and Re-Brands MAG47 10/30 AK Magazines to Freedom Series
The XTech Tactical MAG47® 10/30 AK-47 magazines are widely accepted as the premier AK magazines for those living in states with unconstitutional restrictions on magazine capacity. To date, the 10/30 product line has been known as the “Commufornia Special”.
As of October, 2024, all 10/30 magazines for the 7.62 AK variants will fall under the “Freedom Series™”. The company will continue to offer its “Free State Adaptors™” which allow the user to convert their 10/30 magazines to 30rds when or if their state laws change or they relocate.
Most producers of magazines have cowardly and/or lazily produced limited capacity magazines where the customer often cannot service or convert their magazines. Much of this direction is based on the most globally extreme national or state government laws around magazine permanence. As a result, magazines presently available for most consumers residing in restricted states are significantly more limited beyond their state laws. These limitations include not being able to clean their magazine, replace a spring, or modify the magazine when/if their state’s laws change or they relocate.
“We firmly believe in the right of all Americans to highly reliable and durable standard capacity magazines. The Commufornia Special branding was fun, but our focus is on impact for our rights and the messaging that goes with Freedom Series better speaks to our objectives as a brand. Our hope is that within the coming years, the Supreme Court will overturn each of the unconstitutional state laws. Until that day, we will provide those states the best magazines possible. This move also brings consistency with our upcoming product releases”, stated Jeremy Deadman, company president.
Additionally, the MAG47 10/30 Freedom Series line has been expanded to include the:
MAG47 ELITE, Rotten Banana Clip™, Banana Clip™, Fakelite, Spam Can, Red, Plum, & Splatter

Rainier Arms Releases EVO Foregrip
Rainier Arms has announced the availability of the EVO GRIP, a modern foregrip design for rifles, carbines, PCCs, and other long guns.
Here’s what they tell us:
Rainier Arms EVO Grip
Yes, it’s a new foregrip option. No, it’s not just another foregrip. But of course we’d say that. So here’s a brief rundown explaining why you should care.
First, here’s what it won’t do:
- Mount a bayonet
- Push any lumens at all
- Throw the slightest bit of candela
- Hold a spare magazine
- Mount a spare/secondary gun
- Deploy a spring-loaded bipod
Now, here’s what it will do:
- Channel and manage your cables
- Take a beating, even if you’re slamming it against barricades
- Let you maintain your grip even when your hand is sweaty, muddy, bloody, greasy, or slimy (but not wimpy or sissy).
- Adjusts from vertical to canted for preferred hold
- Help you more efficiently manipulate the weapon
- Gain +1 Bonus Action around barricades or doing transitions
EVO Foregrip: How and Why
The EVO was designed with an alliance of ergonomics and durability in mind. To that end, we’ve included a second, 10° plate (in addition to the flat plate) that users can use to install the grip with a forward or backward cant, depending on preference.
It ships with a flat (i.e. no-tilt) plate installed for a true vertical/perpendicular hold. Installation is simple: mount the plate to your rail, then slide the grip onto the dovetail.
Both plates provide reliable cable management for illumination, IR, VIR, devices, etc. (up to 3.5mm or smaller).
Features:
Cable Management
Optional ten-degree (10° ) cant
Knurled surface for reliable grip
Tapered dovetail locking mechanism
Specs:
6061 Aluminum
3.4 oz
2.5 tall x 1.65″ wide x 0.8″ thick

Faxon Firearms Launches EXOS Pistol Compensator
Faxon Firearms, a leader in the firearms industry, is proud to announce the release of its new EXOS Pistol Compensator, designed to significantly enhance the performance of the SIG P365 series, including the P365XL and P365 XMacro. This innovative compensator promises to reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy.
Why Choose a Compensator for Your SIG P365?
The SIG P365 series is renowned for its compact size, reliability, and accuracy, making it a popular choice for concealed carry and personal defense. However, its small size can result in noticeable muzzle rise and recoil, affecting shooting speed and precision. A compensator, such as the Faxon EXOS, attaches to the firearm’s threaded barrel, redirecting gases to counteract barrel movement during firing. This enhances shooting accuracy, control, and comfort, making it an essential upgrade for SIG P365 users.
Key Benefits of the Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator:
- Reduced Muzzle Rise: Maintains sight picture for faster follow-up shots.
- Decreased Recoil: Improves shooting comfort and control.
- Improved Accuracy: Minimizes muzzle movement for precise shots.
- Faster Shooting: Enables quicker target reacquisition and shot placement.
Features of the Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator:
- Superior Design and Construction: Crafted from high-quality materials for durability and longevity, ensuring consistent performance.
- Threaded Barrel Compatibility: Seamlessly fits onto the SIG P365’s threaded barrel, offering easy and secure installation.
- Effective Gas Redirection: Innovative port configuration effectively reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil.
- Lightweight and Compact: Adds minimal weight, preserving the firearm’s balance and handling.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Sleek, modern design complements the SIG P365 series, adding a professional and tactical look.
Performance Benefits:
The Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator enhances shooting accuracy by reducing muzzle rise and recoil. It allows shooters to maintain a steady sight picture and deliver more precise shots, even during rapid fire. Its lightweight design ensures it doesn’t compromise the firearm’s maneuverability, making it an ideal choice for competitive and personal defense scenarios.
Comparing the Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator to Competing Models:
The Faxon EXOS outperforms popular models such as the Herrington Arms HC365, Parker Mountain Machine PMM JTTc, and the MCARBO compensators. It offers superior gas redirection, easier installation, and a more aesthetically pleasing design.
Upgrade Your SIG P365 with the Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator
The Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator is a top-tier option for those looking to enhance their SIG P365, P365XL, or P365 XMacro. Its superior design, high-quality materials, and performance benefits make it a standout choice. For more information and to purchase the Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator, visit the Faxon Firearms product page.

The new model features a multi-function, push-button tail switch that permits one-handed operation of the light’s momentary, variable intensity or strobe modes. The light’s TEN-TAP programmable switch allows for user selection of one of three different programs: high/strobe/low (factory default), high only, or low/high.
The ProTac 2AA-X USB uses a power LED that on the High setting delivers 550 lumens and 10,250 candela, a beam distance of 203 meters and a 2.25-hour run time when using the rechargeable battery pack. With alkaline batteries inserted, it offers 270 lumens, 5,000 candelas, a 141-meter beam distance, and a 2.5-hour run time. On Low, run times range from 16 hours with the rechargeable battery to 48 hours with AA batteries.
