PTAC USA, manufacturers of high quality performance driven custom firearms, announces the upcoming release of their new Elite Combat Pistol, or ECP, based on the proven M&P 9mm platform from Smith & Wesson and factory equipped from PTAC USA with upgrades from Apex Tactical Specialties, Trijicon and 10-8 Performance.”Building on the excellent foundation of the Smith & Wesson M&P pistol, and partnering with the leading manufacturers of the performance upgrades shooters demand, we designed and built the ECP to deliver maximum performance,” said Alex DeBono, product manager for PTAC USA.

Driving the high-speed performance of the 9mm ECP is a suite of fire control system improvements from Apex Tactical Specialties. The pistol is outfitted with Apex’s patented Forward Set Sear and Trigger System, which includes their Ultimate Striker Block and Forward Set Spring Kit, giving the pistol a crisp, short trigger pull that more closely resembles that of a 1911 than found in any other striker-fired pistol.

Weighing in at almost 5 pounds, the stout Desert Eagle has always demanded two-fisted handling. Now, Magnum Research is proud to introduce two new models in a lighter weight version which will make a noticeable difference when handling the pistol – albeit two hands are still recommended for most shooters. The Desert Eagle L5 and the L6 weigh in almost a pound or 2 pounds lighter than other similar Desert Eagle products.

The new Mark XIX L5 in .357 Magnum is offered with an all new 5-inch barrel length and features a hard-coat anodized black aluminum frame, black carbon steel slide and barrel, and Hogue finger groove rubber grips. The pistol also has Magnum Research’s widely popular integral muzzle brake. The new lighter version of this popular Desert Eagle .357 is 2 pounds 9 oz. (3 lbs. 2 oz./50 oz. with an empty magazine) which also makes it New York State compliant. Overall length is 9.75″, height is 6.25″ and the slide width is 1.25″. The DE357L5IMB comes with one 9-round magazine and suggested MSRP is $1,790.

Magnum Research also addressed the need for a lighter weight Desert Eagle in their popular .50 AE model. The Mark XIX L6 weighs just 3 pounds 7 oz. – nearly 12 oz. lighter than other similar Desert Eagle models. It is offered with a hard-coat anodized black aluminum frame with a stainless steel slide and integral muzzle break barrel, attractive black appointments and features a picatinny rail on the frame. Overall length is 10.75″, height is 6.25″, and the slide width is 1.25″. The single action pistol has a 4-pound trigger pull.
