The defining feature of this Native 5 is its fluted carbon fiber handle. Meticulously machined from solid carbon fiber, its scales offer a stunningly beautiful appearance as well as a subtle non-slip texture. They are fitted with four sets of threaded stainless steel inserts to allow attachment of a four-position pocket clip that supports left or right-side tip-up or tip-down carry. The knife has a high strength, back-lock mechanism. The Native 5’s blade is also unique in that it is crafted from premium CPM® S90V® stainless steel. This advanced particle metallurgy steel is enriched with a high vanadium content that favors the formation of hard vanadium carbides instead of chromium carbides. MSRP: $359.95 www.spyderco.com

CMMG
MkG45 GUARD
CMMG has announced the release of the MkG45 GUARD—a new AR15 rifle chambered in the iconic .45 ACP caliber. The GUARD is offered in five different configurations, operates on CMMG’s new, patent pending Radial Delayed Blowback system and is fed from Glock magazines.
While the straight blowback system found on most pistol-caliber AR carbines utilizes a non-rotating bolt assembly, the Radial Delayed Blowback system used on the GUARD has a bolt carrier group (BCG) that appears similar to that found on a direct impingement AR15 but operates completely differently. The rotating bolt is the key to the Radial Delayed Blowback system. It is the act of the bolt being forced to rotate and unlock that slows down the BCG just enough to safely cycle .45 ACP while keeping the BCG and buffer lighter than 9mm AR15’s.
The MkG45 GUARD comes with one 13-round factory Glock 21 magazine. For optimal reliability, CMMG recommends using factory double-stack GLOCK .45 ACP magazines. Bolt weight kits will be sold separately for those who wish to fine-tune the GUARD for +P ammunition or suppressor usage. MSRP: Prices vary depending on model www.cmmginc.com
