3 BIRCHWOOD CASEY BORE WEEVIL 2.0
The new Bore Weevil 2.0 continues the basic operation of the original Bore Weevil with its integrated and fully retractable pull-through tether and coupler system. This system allows fast, efficient cleaning of rifle, shotgun and handgun barrels in the field, on the range, or anywhere dedicated cleaning rods are not feasible. The spooled tether retracts into the Bore Weevil 2.0 housing, which is ergonomically designed to provide maximum grip and pull leverage when dealing with snug cleaning patches and is sized to stow conveniently in a range bag, on-the-go gun toolbox or day pack. The retraction system is managed by a thumb lever that locks the tether to the desired length for cleaning and releases the tether for automatic retraction and storage. Three quick-attach couplers are included. Each coupler accepts common 8-32 thread cleaning jags, mops and brushes. MSRP: $14.99. Booth #12669

4 BLACKHAWK STREAMLIGHT TLR-1 HL
The Streamlight TLR-1 HL from Blackhawk produces a 1,000-lumen blast of light.

The light mounts directly to handguns with Glock-style rails and to all mil-std 1913 Picatinny rails. It features durable, anodized machined aluminum construction, an ambidextrous momentary/steady on/off switch, and its user-programmable strobe can be enabled and disabled.

5 HATSAN PILEDRIVER
The PileDriver is Hatsan’s first .50-caliber air rifle. As the market’s most powerful production PCP rifle, the PileDriver is capable of producing over 800 foot-pounds of energy. Although the rifle utilizes a 33-inch barrel, its bullpup design keeps the maximum length under 4 feet. The side-lever cocking mechanism is easy to reach and operate, and a 480cc carbon-fiber bottle fills to 4,350 psi and will provide up to six high-powered shots on a single fill. The PileDriver’s unique, patented hammer design eliminates traditional steel coil springs in favor of a smoother, easier-to-cock, gas-piston mechanism. This toploading single-shot rifle also features an extra-large loading port that will accommodate ammo up to 34mm in length. An elevation-adjustable cheek rest ensures proper sight alignment with any optic. The rifle’s 14-inch-long scope rail is cut to accept both Picatinny and 11mm dovetail mounts, offering plenty of real estate for a wide variety of optics. Three Picatinny accessory rails are attached around the air bottle for added customization. The high-strength steel barrel is precision rifled for long-range accuracy, and the absence of a shroud allows for the use of sabot rounds, further expanding ammunition options. MSRP: $1,199.99.

7 HORNADY SECURITY RAPID SAFES
Hornady Security’s RAPiD 2600KP and 2700KP series of safes feature advanced-access technology and tough-as-nails construction for peace-of-mind secure storage of handguns and other valuables while traveling in virtually any location. All RAPiD Safes use patented RFID technology. Swiping an RFID-equipped wristband, key fob or decal over the safe’s sensor instantly opens its spring-assisted lid. If an RFID tag is not within easy reach, the safe also opens using its keypad. Programming a custom four- to six-digit code lets users pick an easy-to-remember number. If the user forgets the custom code, Hornady provides a mechanical key backup. RAPiD safes come in two sizes to suit both large and small handguns. The 2600KP (large) safe fits most 4-inch-barrel pistols or 2-inch revolvers, while the extra-large 2700KP secures larger 1911 pistols or 4-inch revolvers. These portable safes meet the TSA requirements for handgun safety in checked luggage, making them the ideal solution for air travel with a personal firearm. The safe also includes a cable for anchoring to a stationary object. The 2600KP and 2700KP portable safes use heavy-duty 14-gauge steel construction and two internal hardened locking lugs. Both safes exceed ASTM international safety standards for security and are certified to be child-resistant. MSRP: $236.99-$275.99. Booth #12446
