5 New Accessories for Slim Compacts

As more gun owners begin to carry firearms for self-defense, more carry-friendly handgun options have emerged — specifically slim compacts and subcompacts. Offering a favorable size-to-capacity ratio, guns like the GLOCK 43X/48, SIG SAUER P365/P365 XL and Springfield Armory Hellcat have become popular choices for those looking for a small package that packs a punch.

Of course, new gun models mean new accessories, and manufacturers have been busy producing products specifically designed to fit these slimmer designs. Here are five of the latest to hit the market.

Trijicon RMRcc

Following the trend in carry guns, the new Trijicon RMRcc is a thinner iteration of the popular RMR. Measuring less than 1-inch wide, the RMRcc was built to fit single-stack pistols and features a snag-free design, durable 7075-T6 forged aluminum housing, 3.25 or 6 MOA dot with eight illumination settings and easily adjustable windage/elevation. Weighing just 1 oz. and powered by a single CR2032 lithium battery for an estimated 4-year battery life, the RMRcc is a small and lightweight carry optic you can rely on. MSRP is $699.

Apex Action Enhancement Trigger

Few accessories can improve the function of a gun more than an upgraded trigger. New from Apex Tactical, the new Action Enhancement Trigger for the Springfield Armory Hellcat does just that. After a break-in period, the drop-in replacement trigger, sear spring and striker spring reduce trigger pull weight to a crisp 5–5.5 lbs. with less felt travel and reset distance. The Action Enhancement Trigger is easy to install and is available in five colors/patterns. MSRP is $79.95–89.95.
