Trijicon MRO
Info about this red dot sight appeared on the internet. MRO stands for Miniature Rifle Optic, and seems to be Trijicon's attempt at getting in to Aimpoint's T-2 market.
There are 8 brightness settings(2 for NV, 6 for daylight) for the 2 MOA dot. Users can zero the dot, moving 1/2 MOA at a time, for maximum of 70 MOA.
Objective lens is 25mm, resting in an Aluminum case. Weight is 4.1oz, length is 2.6 inches. You also have options for mounts, from 1/3 off set, co-witness, and basic mount.
It is supposedly good for 30 meter(about 100 feet) submersion. The battery used is CR2032, and can be left on for 5 years on Day3 setting
From: AR15.com
Edit: Price has been revealed. MSRP: $579 without mount; $629 with mount

Walther CCP review
Ian from Forgotten Weapons got a chance to review this relatively unknown subcompact pistol.
The review touches on the mechanism(delayed blowback) and disassembly procedure that supposedly is a bit of "controversial"

More on USPSA Combat Optics Division
USPSA president Phil Strader shared more details on the Combat Optic division on comment section of USPSA's FaceBook. In short,
1. CO will be open to any pistol on the approved Production Division list, provided that it does not exceed the 35oz weight limit (with empty magazine inserted) and is a semi-auto pistol.
2. The optics used must be attached to the slide between the rear of the ejection port and the rear of the slide.
3. We intend to approve the division for Level 1 match use after it is entered into EZWin Score. Ken Nelson has already communicated that it would be an easy update to Practiscore, as well.
4. CO High Hit Factors will be established based on stats analysis using data from Production to come up with a starting point.
Strader also reminded that this is a provisional division and USPSA will re-evaluate the division at the end of year.
The intent seems to be putting optics on top of production guns. Strader states,
I would recommend that members NOT do any modifications to their existing Production guns that would not be allowed Production Division.
In the main body of the post, Strader mentioned that the creation of the division was influenced by some manufacturers' "perception that their guns were no longer competitive in Production [division]." There seems to be some perception that production division is heading towards heavier guns such as CZ SP-01 or Tanfoglios.
Edit: Here is the Appendix for the Combat Optics Division

ALG Defense 6 Second Mount review
Jerking the Trigger looked at this mount for Glocks. This was specifically developed for a certain counter-terrorism team but can be a nice addition to a plane user as well.
