Galco’s Combat Master 2.0 for Glock 21 w/wo carry optic!

Posted on Wednesday, 14 October, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Galco’s Combat Master 2.0 for Glock 21 w/wo carry optic!

October 2026

Now available for Glock 21 with or without carry optic!

After decades of success with the original Combat Master, Galco unveils the Combat Master™ 2.0, bringing the traditional pancake holster in line with modern EDC preferences.

A professional-grade belt holster hand-molded by Galco’s experienced craftsmen to fit specific handguns, the updated 2.0 design is cut to accommodate most carry-style optics while working equally well with iron-sighted pistols. The optic cutaway also allows the pistol to clear leather even faster, and promotes a smoother, faster draw for shorter-waisted users.

The raised sweat guard protects the wearer’s body from the pistol, and the pistol from the body’s natural perspiration.

Detailed hand-molding gives it excellent retention properties along with a beautiful appearance. But beauty is only skin-deep, especially in a holster designed for concealment. The Combat Master 2.0’s traditional high-riding pancake-style design places the belt slots on either side of the holster, pulling the handgun tight to the body and making defensive handguns disappear.

It features an open top with firing grip accessibility for speed, since time is often in short supply in defensive situations. Premium steerhide construction with double-stitched seams enhance durability, making the Combat Master 2.0 one of the longest-lasting leather holsters money can buy.

The Combat Master 2.0’s twin belt slots enhance comfort by distributing the handgun’s weight and fit belts up to 1 ¾” wide.

See all of Galco’s Belt (OWB) Holsters!

Shown with Glock 48.

Akkar USA’s Clubman Is Made for Everyday Use

Posted on Wednesday, 14 October, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Akkar USA’s Clubman Is Made for Everyday Use

North Kansas City, MO (October 13, 2026) – Club guns don’t have it easy. They ride in truck racks, get passed between shooters on a squad, sit in duck blinds, and take every bit of weather the season throws at them. The Akkar USA Clubman was built specifically for that kind of use: a 12-gauge over/under designed to take a beating on the clays course, in the blind, or wherever the day demands, without asking the shooter to babysit it.

Versatility starts with the chamber. The Clubman’s 2¾–3½-inch magnum chambering handles everything from light clay loads to heavy waterfowl shells, letting one gun cover a full range of shooting disciplines rather than forcing a shooter to own a different gun for every task.

Five extended choke tubes come standard, giving shooters the ability to tighten up for long crossers or open the pattern for close, fast targets. Mechanical triggers keep the Clubman firing reliably shot to shot. Barrel selection happens automatically, with or without recoil, so a light load in the first barrel never leaves the second barrel unable to fire.

An auto safety mechanism engages every time the lever latch is used, adding a layer of protection for shooters, guides, and dog handlers moving through a busy field or crowded station. Automatic ejectors clear spent shells quickly for faster follow-up shots, and for shooters who prefer extractors, the Clubman converts with a single part change.

The 28-inch barrels wear a solid rib rather than a ventilated one, a deliberate choice for a gun that’s going to get knocked around. The profile improves maneuverability and shot consistency while standing up to the dings and bumps that come with life in a duck blind or an ATV rack. A durable polymer stock backs up that same philosophy, holding up to outdoor abuse while still delivering a comfortable, secure grip. Sling studs come standard, making the Clubman easy to carry hands-free on long walks between stations or blinds.

Every Clubman is backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Simple and tough, the Clubman is built for shooters who need a gun that performs season after season.

Akkar USA Clubman Features:

Chamber Size: 2¾–3½-inch magnum chamber
Choke System: Five extended choke tubes
Barrel: 28-inch solid rib barrels
Ejection/Extraction: Automatic ejectors (convertible to extractors)
Safety: Auto safety, engages with lever latch use
Stock: Durable polymer
Warranty: 5-year limited warranty

SIG SAUER to Showcase American-Made Defense Products at AUSA

Leading small arms manufacturer to highlight combat-proven firearms, remote-control weapon stations, drones, and counter-UAS

NEWINGTON, N.H. (October 12, 2026) – SIG SAUER, an industry-leading manufacturer of cutting-edge firearms, electro-optics, ammunition, and advanced concepts, will showcase its next-gen military small arms at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) trade show in Washington, D.C., October 12 – 14.
“We always look forward to AUSA. It’s an opportunity to showcase our made in America technology developed in partnership with the United States Army, ranging from next-gen carbines and machine guns to ammunition,” said Robby Johnson, EVP and CMO, SIG SAUER. “We ramped up production of the SIG XM8 to successfully meet the Army’s schedule, and it’s set to begin fielding in December to support the Close Combat Force. We will have the XM8 and additional SIG products on display.”
SIG SAUER Unmanned Capabilities & Training

In addition to premier firearms, SIG SAUER offers the most advanced small arms unmanned systems, including drones, counter-UAS, and remote-control weapon stations (RCWS) to support modern combat. Along with the product capabilities, SIG SAUER provides world-class training for customers and partners. The SIG unmanned training instructors’ experience extends across aerospace engineering, flight testing, readiness, and all operational environments to support first time users to the most experienced technicians.
“We’ve invested into a full offering of unmanned capabilities,” said Ryan Scott, Director of Advanced Concepts, SIG SAUER, and who served 22 years in the Army, including over a decade with unmanned systems. “We’re doubling our square footage and workforce at our North Carolina facility with a multi-million-dollar expansion across R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and training. This investment continues our support for the U.S. Armed Forces and allies, which now also includes our battlefield-ready counter-UAS.”
The all-new SIG SAUER XRAY9-CUAS, a mounted electro-optic, uses advanced technologies to quickly target and engage drones using a proprietary laser rangefinder.
SIG SAUER AUSA Location and Product Display
The SIG SAUER AUSA exhibit is located at booth #8015 Hall E at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. A media kit with images, video, and additional information is available here. Included below is a selection of SIG SAUER product that will be on hand at AUSA:

SIG SAUER M250: The U.S. Army’s Next Generation light machine gun, the M250 represents a major leap in squad-level firepower. It replaces legacy systems with a belt-fed, gas-operated, and reduced recoil design that fires a powerful 6.8×51 mm hybrid cartridge to give infantry units greater range and lethality against advanced body armor. With a SIG optic and suppressor, the M250 is a complete weapon solution.
SIG SAUER MMG: A belt-fed, lightweight, man portable medium machine gun chambered .338NM, 6.8 hybrid, and 7.62 NATO hybrid. The SIG MMG provides heavy machine gun range in a highly controllable and maneuverable MMG package and when paired with a SIG optic and suppressor is a complete weapon solution.
SIG SAUER XM8: The U.S. Army’s Next Generation carbine, the XM8 was developed with solider feedback and SIG innovation, delivering enhanced lethality, greater range, and new features (e.g., full ambi safety and bolt release, heat shield, suppressor) when compared to the M4 it replaced. Against the SIG M7, it is 12 percent lighter.
SIG SAUER Hybrid Ammunition: Engineered to meet the requirements of the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapon program, SIG Hybrid ammo delivers revolutionary pressures that significantly increases velocity, range and lethality.
SIG SAUER RCWS: An advanced lightweight system, the SIG RCWS bolsters operator safety and situational awareness by enabling point-and-shoot remote machine gun operation.
SIG SAUER Advanced Concepts: Designed to dominate the future of unmanned capabilities, SIG drone technologies are built to meet the evolving demands of defense and security missions. The product lineup includes the fixed-wing SCYTHE aircraft, the SABER quad-copter, and the M-HORNET 22 LR payload attachment.
A select lineup of advanced SIG SAUER electro-optics and suppressors will also be on hand, including the XRAY9-CUAS.

Hornady® VEXIS™ Mobilis® Safe: Biometric Security That Opens in Under Half a Second

Posted on Tuesday, 13 October, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Hornady® VEXIS™ Mobilis® Safe: Biometric Security That Opens in Under Half a Second

Grand Island, NE (Oct 12, 2026) — The fastest way into a safe has always come with a trade-off: a code that can be shared, a key that can be lost, a fingerprint that can be copied. Hornady’s® new VEXIS™ Mobilis® Safe line removes that trade-off entirely, pairing patent-pending vein-scanning biometric technology with the modular, move-anywhere design that’s made the Mobilis line a favorite for homes and offices that can’t fit a traditional welded safe through the door.

VEXIS™ technology reads the unique vein pattern beneath a user’s skin using harmless near-infrared light, capturing more than 2.5 million data points per scan to verify identity in under half a second. Unlike a fingerprint or a face, a vein pattern can’t be lifted, photographed, or copied — and it stays stable throughout adulthood, so the system doesn’t need to be retrained as a user ages. All scan data stays stored locally inside the safe itself, never uploaded or shared elsewhere. Each unit supports up to 10 authorized users, with keypad and mechanical key backup built in for multi-factor authentication or emergency access.

“Security should be both uncompromising and effortless,” said Jason Hornady, Hornady Vice President. That philosophy runs through the entire Mobilis line: 9-gauge, 2-ply steel exterior walls, a pry-resistant 3/16″ solid steel door, and sixteen 1-inch live locking bolts deliver genuine vault-level resistance, while a one-hour, 2300°F Fire Shield™ rating with heat-activated door seals protects contents against exactly the kind of disaster a safe is built for. And because the safe arrives in sections and assembles on site, none of that security requires knocking down a wall or hiring movers to get it in the room.

Inside, the Square-Lok® organizing system with adjustable metal shelves and rifle/pistol racks lets owners configure the interior around what they’re storing, and a built-in 120V outlet with USB power strip keeps electronics, dehumidifiers, or charging accessories running without an extension cord snaking in from outside.

The line scales across three sizes to match the space and the collection.

SAAMI Announces Acceptance of a New Cartridge

Posted on Tuesday, 13 October, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

October 12, 2026

SAAMI Announces Acceptance of a New Cartridge

SHELTON, Conn. — The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute^®,Inc., (SAAMI^®) has announced the acceptance of a new rifle cartridge for SAAMI standardization. SAAMI is the organization at the forefront of promoting firearm safety by creating standards that ensure safety, reliability and interchangeability of firearms, ammunition and components.

Click on the cartridge name to open the introduction package.

5.56 COMMERCIAL – The 5.56 COMMERCIAL (abbreviated name 5.56 COMM) was introduced by Hornady Manufacturing Company with a 55-grain bullet traveling at a velocity of 3,400 fps and a Maximum Average Pressure of 62,000 psi.

The 5.56 Commercial cartridge and chamber defined here provide a publicly available consensus standard describing a chamber and ammunition system for commercial practice using the procedures and equipment detailed in the American National Standard SAAMI Z299.4^[1].

Conformance to this specification does not imply or ensure conformance with any military or NATO specification. The absence of publicly available standards for “5.56 X 45”, including variants such as “5.56 NATO”, makes blanket compatibility statements of those products to products manufactured to this new standard impossible.

The 5.56 Commercial specification is a commercial SAAMI standard and will be revised only through the defined SAAMI consensus-based standards development and maintenance processes.

As a voluntary standard, the existence of this specification does not require firearm manufacturers to mark firearms as 5.56 Commercial (or 5.56 COMM), nor does it require ammunition manufacturers to adopt a 5.56 Commercial (or 5.56 COMM) headstamp, although the use of this designation as a roll mark or headstamp is acceptable practice.

For specific questions on the compatibility of ammunition made to this specification in firearms carrying a roll mark other than 5.56 Commercial (or 5.56 COMM), or vice versa, contact the manufacturer of your firearm or ammunition for further information.

Existing guidance that ONLY 223 Remington ammunition is to be used in a firearm chambered and roll marked as only “223 Remington” remains unchanged. The use of any 5.56 ammunition, including all military variants as well as ammunition produced to this standard in a 223 Remington chamber creates increased pressure and is considered an unsafe combination.

For further information on this new cartridge please click here.

The standardization of cartridge and chamber designs, along with pressure standards, is key in the achievement of SAAMI’s principal objectives of ensuring the safety and interchangeability of ammunition, firearms and suppressors. These standards provide manufacturers with appropriate guidelines to ensure proper and safe operation and interaction of their products for shooting sports enthusiasts.

[1] This standard is available as a free download from the SAAMI website here.

About SAAMI

The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, founded in 1926 at the request of the federal government, is dedicated to creating and promulgating technical, performance and safety standards for firearms, ammunition, suppressors, and components, and is committed to being the preeminent global resource for the safe and responsible design, manufacture, transportation, storage and use of these products.

Hornady® Lock-N-Load® Classic Pro Press: A Proven Design, Rebuilt for the Long Haul

Posted on Tuesday, 13 October, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Hornady® Lock-N-Load® Classic Pro Press: A Proven Design, Rebuilt for the Long Haul

Grand Island, NE (October 12 2026) — Some tools earn their reputation and then stay exactly as they are. Hornady® took a different approach with the Lock-N-Load® Classic Pro Press: start with a design reloaders have trusted for years, then rework it piece by piece until every part of it works harder and lasts longer.

Hornady® engineers revisited the original Classic Lock-N-Load® Press and refined 17 individual features to bring it up to Pro-level standards — from precision-machined surfaces to brass bushings and precision-toleranced primer cups. Together, these upgrades give reloaders a smoother stroke and tighter, more repeatable results — the kind of consistency that shows up downrange, whether that’s at a match or out in the field.

The Classic Pro carries forward the Hornady® Lock-N-Load® Die Bushing system that made the original press a bench staple, letting reloaders swap dies quickly without giving up repeatable accuracy. Add an integrated grease zerk and top-tier materials throughout, and the result is a press engineered to deliver consistent, round-after-round accuracy for a lifetime of use.

Lock-N-Load® Classic Pro Press: What’s Inside

Legendary Die System: The Hornady Lock-N-Load® die bushing system anchors the press, enabling fast, tool-free die swaps without sacrificing repeatable, consistent accuracy.

Machined for Precision: A cast aluminum frame and toggle, finished with precision-machined surfaces, hold exceptionally tight tolerances for accuracy that repeats, round after round.

Built to Run Smooth: Brass bushings paired with polished steel components deliver a silky-smooth, consistent press stroke from the first pull to the last.

Maintenance Made Simple: A built-in grease zerk and internal grease groove keep the press properly lubricated, protecting performance over the long run.

Everything Within Reach: The integrated Lock-N-Load® Die Caddy keeps dies and Allen wrenches organized at the bench and doubles as a stand for a powder measure.

Designed for Serious Reloaders: Built for precision reloaders who prioritize reliability, smooth operation, and straightforward upkeep over anything else on the bench.

Primetime Color Vision delivers a never-before-seen view in low-light conditions, when deer are most active. By enhancing details and delivering true color fidelity, Buknoculars give hunters a clearer view when it matters most, along with the ability to capture those moments in stunning 4K high-resolution video.

As the rut approaches, deer movement increases and bucks that are normally cautious start covering more ground in daylight, chasing does and responding to calls. That surge in activity makes the rut one of the most exciting — and most unpredictable — stretches of the season, and one of the best times to have Buknoculars in hand. Hunters can pick up a cruising buck at first light, watch a chase play out across a field, or catch a mature deer checking a scrape line, all in true color instead of the washed-out gray of standard low-light optics. With 4K recording built in, none of it has to be just a story told back at camp — a tending buck locked onto a doe, or a once-in-a-season encounter at last light can be captured exactly as it happened and relived long after the rut winds down.

Buck Commander’s patent-pending Primetime Color Vision™ is an industry first. Unlike thermal imaging or infrared technology, Primetime uses proprietary technology to enhance low-light conditions while maintaining vivid, true-to-life color, so hunters can quickly identify deer and make the most of every sit. And because 4K recording is built directly into the Buknoculars, hunters can document the action as it happens — from a buck stepping into range to deer moving through the timber at first light — without carrying a separate camera into the woods, making it easy to preserve and share those moments long after the season ends.

The BUK OPS Buknoculars are packed with premium features designed to help hunters stay connected to the action all season long. A large HD viewfinder provides a clear viewing experience, while adjustable brightness lets hunters customize their view while remaining concealed in their blind or stand. A manual focus lens and 1-5x zoom provide tack-sharp viewing and the ability to get a closer look at deer and surrounding terrain. When the moment arrives,

hunters can quickly capture it in 4K high-resolution video for a lasting record of the hunt.

Buknoculars™ Features:

25mm objective lens
Manual focus, easy to adjust
1-5X zoom range
2.95-inch HD viewfinder
Extended battery life
4K recording capabilities
Micro SD slot for storage (Micro SD not included)
Includes BUKSKIN neoprene protective skin (Veil Tac Black Camo)

About BUK OPS™

BUK OPS™ is an all-new subcategory product line of patent pending optics that drastically enhance low-light hunting conditions to give hunters significantly better opportunities during primetime. BUK OPS changes everything about low-light hunting situations. This cutting-edge line redefines optical performance with exclusive Primetime Color Vision™ technology. Say goodbye to the limitations of dusk and dawn as BUK OPS sets a new standard for clarity and precision.

The Hyper Raptor GTX™ Arrives Just in Time for Deer Season

Posted on Tuesday, 13 October, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

The Hyper Raptor GTX™ Arrives Just in Time for Deer Season

Tarpon Springs, FL (October 12, 2026) – Deer season is here, and Barnett’s most dominant crossbow to date is now shipping to dealers nationwide. The Hyper Raptor GTX™, Barnett’s flagship fusion of true speed and precision, is officially in stock and ready to be in hunters’ hands before opening day.

Since its introduction earlier this year, the Hyper Raptor GTX™ has generated serious buzz in the crossbow world – and for good reason. Launching specialized 20” HyperFlite™ arrows at up to 425 FPS, it delivers deep, uncompromising penetration on big game, backed by Barnett’s Halo System to eliminate cable crossing and cam lean for tack-driving accuracy. With whitetail activity ramping up across the country, there’s no better time for serious hunters to get their hands on the fastest, most precise crossbow Barnett has ever built.

“We timed this release so hunters aren’t sitting on a waitlist during the best weeks of the season,” said a Barnett spokesperson. “The Hyper Raptor GTX™ was built to perform when it matters most – in the stand, during the rut, when a shot opportunity might only last a few seconds.”

The Hyper Raptor GTX™ pairs that speed with the elite metal-injected molded TriggerTech™ Frictionless Release Technology, delivering a crisp 3-lb break, Anti-Dry Fire (ADF) protection, a nock sensor, a CNC-machined aluminum flight track, and a Soft-Lok™ Floating Bristle Arrow Retainer for pinpoint consistency shot after shot. Its innovative Rope Hold™ Roller Ball technology ensures a flawlessly smooth, even cocking draw – critical for hunters making quiet, quick preparations from the stand or blind.

Compact and maneuverable, the Hyper Raptor GTX™ features a 7.5-inch axle-to-axle width when cocked, a lightweight composite step-through riser, and pivoting limb pockets that shift weight off the nose to reduce recoil and enhance stability – ideal for navigating tight blinds and tree stands during peak season. An adjustable length-of-pull buttstock, pass-through forend with Verti-Grip palm rest, padded cheek rest, finger-safety reminders, and pre-installed string dampeners round out a package built for long sits and quiet, confident shots.

Each Hyper Raptor GTX™ package ships ready to hunt, with a choice of premium optics, three 20” HyperFlite™ arrows, a sled-style rope cocking device, a premium 3-arrow side-mount quiver, and lubrication wax – all wrapped in Barnett’s striking ‘Ranger Green’ finish with the new ‘Adapt’ camouflage on its continuous fiber-molded, parabolic limbs.

Built for the Rut, Not Just the Rack

As archery season gives way to the rut, deer become more active – but also more alert to noise and movement in the stand. The Hyper Raptor GTX™’s pre-installed string dampeners and Rope Hold™ Roller Ball cocking system keep pre-shot preparation quiet, while its compact 7.5-inch axle-to-axle width makes it easy to maneuver in ladder stands, box blinds, and saddle setups without spooking a cruising buck. And when the shot finally comes, 425 FPS and 142 ft-lbs of kinetic energy give hunters the penetration to make it count on a big-bodied, thick-hided whitetail – even at odd angles or through heavier cover.

With deer season underway across much of the country, the Hyper Raptor GTX™ is available now at Barnett dealers and retailers nationwide.

Arizona To Become First Gray Eagle(r) Company in the ARNG

Posted on Tuesday, 13 October, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

GA-ASI's Gray Eagle 25M Makes Its First Flight | General Atomics

ARIZONA TO BECOME FIRST GRAY EAGLE^® COMPANY IN THE ARNG

First Gray Eagle 25Ms Are Expected to Be Delivered in Sept. 2027

SAN DIEGO — 12 October 2026 — General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and the Arizona Army National Guard (AZARNG) met over the summer to finalize plans for the arrival of eight Gray Eagle^® 25Ms (GE 25M) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in September 2027. Arizona will become the first state to establish a UAS unit with Gray Eagle 25Ms as part of the Army National Guard. Four additional units are scheduled for fielding by the end of 2029.

Arizona is part of the Army National Guard’s 40th Infantry Division. The Army National Guard’s objective is to field eight Divisional UAS Companies, one for each of its Divisions. Once fully operational, the Gray Eagle 25M can deploy in support of global missions for Combatant Command (COCOM) commanders and defend against threats in the Western Hemisphere. The Army National Guard currently has three Gray Eagle 25M units funded by Congress and is already on contract with GA-ASI.

“The Gray Eagle has a proven record of performance with 1 million hours of safe operations, including automatic takeoff and landing capability,” said GA-ASI Vice President of DoD Strategic Development Patrick Shortsleeve. “When you factor in its extensive capabilities, the Gray Eagle is a cost-effective UAS that excels as an enabler for Fires, Maneuver, Network, and Intelligence operations. It is also an integral part of the Army Aviation team, bringing advanced autonomy while working closely with manned rotary-wing systems to achieve overmatch against pacing threats.”

The Gray Eagle 25M also has the ability to support long range organic payloads/sensors with Launched Effects to remain outside threat weapons in terrestrial & maritime operations and counter-UAS in addition to its Reconnaissance Security Targeting and Acquisition (RSTA) missions. It will become the only UAS in the ARNG’s arsenal.

The fielding of Gray Eagle 25M in Arizona and the 40th Infantry Division will increase the overall capability of the Army National Guard and aligns with a renewed emphasis on unmanned systems across the Department of War. The Gray Eagle 25M in the Army National Guard will support the full spectrum of combat operations abroad as well as domestic missions including disaster response. The Gray Eagle 25M’s nearly 40-hour endurance and significant payload capacity combined with its open architecture to add sensor, network, kinetic and non-kinetic effects potentially enables the Army National Guard to be an asset for Golden Dome missions.

Gray Eagle 25M is a modernized version of the Gray Eagle ER designed to meet the U.S. Army’s needs for expeditionary operations and advanced sensors. The aircraft is delivered equipped with the EagleEye^® multi-mode radar and electro-optical/infrared sensors with options for additional payloads. Equipping ARNG Divisions with organic Gray Eagle 25Ms makes possible the necessary mission planning, targeting, communications, detailed coordination, and realistic training needed to employ the systems successfully in combat. Gray Eagle 25M will allow ARNG Divisions to execute Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA) without risk to humans for the first time.
