The November issue of Shooting Illustrated, on newsstands now, reveals the much-anticipated MPX from SIG Sauer. Originally designed as a submachine gun for law enforcement and military use, the MPX was then adapted to semi-automatic operation and built as a pistol (with carbine to follow) for the civilian market. Familiar in the hand thanks to its AR-like controls, the MPX is easily customized to suit any shooter. 

Should you prefer a carbine over a pistol for your defensive needs, the LWRCI M6IC is worth investigation. This piston-driven AR-15-style carbine offers spot-on reliable operation, easy configuration for suppressed use and ambidextrous controls. Add to that a continuous top rail for accessories and a fluted barrel that stands out, and this rifle truly puts the “individual” in the “Individual Carbine.” 

The M6IC is touted as a “one rifle” answer to the firearm part of the defensive equation, but what about optics? Leupold’s innovative D-EVO scope allows a fixed 6X scope to be mounted in-line with a red-dot optic, using a combination of prisms and (we assume) witchcraft to present both images with only 6 degrees of eye movement needed. This ground-breaking optic opens the door for a wide variety of sighting options. 

The M6IC or D-EVO might be a little too much to ask to find under your Christmas tree, so we’ve prepared a list of items that might fit better in Santa’s sleigh. Our Holiday Gift Guide offers suggestions on practical, tactical and useful items you might want wrapped up in a bow. From concealed-carry gear to a tactical coffee mug, we provide ideas for everyone on your holiday list. 

Speaking of lists, if you’ve got a bucket list, a weekend at Aegis Academy’s Heliborne Assault has to be near the top. Shooting on the move is one thing; shooting from a helicopter takes it to a completely new and literally higher level. Aegis puts you through a rigorous training regimen, assesses skill level and provides an experience unlikely to be rivaled in the training world. It’s a pricey option, but one few others can match in sheer “wow” factor.
