VORTEX RELAY™ NETWORK NAMED GUNS & AMMO TECHNOLOGY OF THE YEAR.

November 3, 2026

BARNEVELD, Wis. – When the conditions change, having the right information can make all the difference. Turns out, it can earn a little recognition, too.
Vortex Optics is proud to announce the Vortex Relay™ Network is
Guns & Ammo’s 2026 Technology of the Year. Guns & Ammo recognizes the system’s innovative, unbreakable approach to connecting ballistic data and optical devices to help shooters make more informed shots.

The Vortex Relay™ Network connects compatible Vortex® devices. Each device contributes data to a connected system, sharing information and updating ballistic solutions as conditions change. They’re powerful on their own, and even more powerful when connected together.

Setting up ballistics profiles and troubleshooting why solutions don’t match between two devices shouldn’t feel like you need an engineering degree,” said Ben Farrell, Market Development Manager at Vortex®. “We created the Vortex Relay Network™ to make long-range shooting easier, from initial set-up to use in the field.”

Guns & Ammo also highlights the Vortex Relay™ Network’s ability to bring multiple devices and technologies (including GeoBallistics®, Vortex’s ballistic solver and app) together into a practical, user-friendly system. By making ballistic solutions simpler to get and manage, Vortex® continues to develop innovative tools to get the most out of every shot.

Holosun Named NASGW Optics Manufacturer of the Year for the Fourth Time in Five Years


Holosun Named NASGW Optics Manufacturer of the Year for the Fourth Time in Five Years

NASGW Chairman Bill Sumner of Chattanooga Shooting Supplies presents the Optics Manufacturer of the Year award to Luis Chirino of Holosun Technologies.


City of Industry, CA (November 3, 2026) – Holosun Technologies, Inc. is proud to announce that the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW) has named it Optics Manufacturer of the Year for 2026. The honor marks the fourth time in five years that Holosun has received the award, following wins in 2022, 2023, and 2025.

The association’s wholesale members vote on the NASGW Appreciation Awards and recognize manufacturers that deliver outstanding service, value, and support through two-step distribution.

“Being named Optics Manufacturer of the Year for the fourth time in five years is a tremendous honor, and we owe it to the NASGW and its wholesale members,” said Louis Craig, Business Development Director at Holosun Technologies, Inc. “Every optic we build starts with listening to the sportsmen, competitors, professionals, and everyday firearms enthusiasts who depend on it. This recognition tells us we’re on the right track, and we’ll keep pushing to meet those needs.”

Holosun’s success is rooted in listening. By working closely with professionals, competitive firearms enthusiasts, and citizens who carry for personal defense, Holosun turns real-world feedback into state-of-the-art optics built for how they are actually used. That commitment has made Holosun one of the most recognized and trusted names in the

industry. Holosun’s innovations have helped redefine what firearms enthusiasts expect from a modern optic in reliability, durability, battery life, and ease of use. Many of these advancements have become industry benchmarks. Today, Holosun optics are a familiar sight on duty weapons, on the firing line at major competitions, and on firearms carried by everyday people.

The Optics Manufacturer of the Year award underscores that leadership. The wholesalers and dealers who vote on this award see firsthand which brands firearms enthusiasts ask for by name, and year after year, they point to Holosun.

SnapSafe® Modular Safes: Vault-Grade Security That Walks Through Your Front Door

SnapSafe® Modular Safes: Vault-Grade Security That Walks Through Your Front Door

Grand Island, NE (November 3, 2026) — The biggest obstacle to owning a serious safe has never been the safe itself — it’s getting it into the house. Hallways, staircases, and tight doorways routinely rule out a conventional welded safe unless a homeowner is willing to pay for professional movers, or worse, cut a hole in the wall. SnapSafe’s Modular Safe line removes that obstacle entirely, delivering the strength of a welded safe in pieces small enough to carry in by hand.

Each safe ships unassembled and is built on site, piece by piece, in the exact spot it’s meant to live. A modular assembly system locks the wall panels together from the inside as the safe goes up, producing a finished structure as solid and impenetrable as a traditional welded unit—without the weight or size that normally makes placement a problem. No professional movers, no rigging, no compromise on where the safe ends up in the home or office.

Every model in the line carries a 2300°F fire rating, protecting contents from heat that would compromise lesser safes long before that.

The line scales from a single-door model built for tight spaces to a wide, double-door configuration for collections that have outgrown a standard cabinet.

Titan Modular Safe

  • Exterior dimensions: 59″H x 22″W x 17.5″D (plus 3″ for handle)
  • Interior dimensions: 55.125″H x 17″W x 14.5″D
  • Weight: 400 lbs
  • 8 locking bolts
  • Starting at $2,189.00

Super Titan Modular Safe

  • Exterior dimensions: 59″H x 38″W x 17.5″D (plus 3″ for handle)
  • Interior dimensions: 53.5″H x 33″W x 14.5″D
  • Door opening: 52″H x 14.75″W
  • Weight: 550 lbs
  • Starting at $2,789.00

Super Titan Double Door Modular Safe

  • Exterior dimensions: 59″H x 38″W x 24″D (plus 3″ for handle)
  • Interior dimensions: 53.5″H x 33″W x 20.5″D
  • Door opening: 52″H x 29″W
  • Shipping dimensions: 22″H x 40.5″W x 61″D
  • Starting at $3,269.00

Features

  • Modular panel system that interlocks and self-secures during assembly — no welding, no professional installation required
  • Builds to the strength and rigidity of a conventional welded safe
  • 2300°F fire protection across the line
  • Ships disassembled for easy transport through standard doorways, hallways, and stairwells
  • 8 locking bolts on the Titan model
  • Scales from single-door to double-door configurations for larger collections

Light Up the Dark. Sound the Alarm: NEBO MYPAL™ 500 Combines Personal Illumination With On-Demand Security


Light Up the Dark. Sound the Alarm: NEBO MYPAL™ 500 Combines Personal Illumination With On-Demand Security

Fort Worth, Texas (November 2, 2026) – Darkness can make everyday situations feel less secure, whether walking to a car, navigating an unfamiliar building, or heading out for an evening walk. Having a reliable light readily available can provide greater visibility and confidence, while an audible alarm can help draw attention in an unexpected situation. NEBO addresses both needs with the new MYPAL™ 500 Personal Security Light, a compact, easy-to-carry tool designed to provide illumination and an immediate alert at the press of a button.

Designed with women in mind, the MYPAL 500 combines multiple lighting modes with a powerful 500-lumen TURBO mode, a 130dB personal safety alarm, and a distress strobe in a compact design that fits easily on a keychain, purse, or bag.

The MYPAL 500 provides multiple illumination options for navigating a variety of low-light situations. The three primary light modes include a 250-lumen High setting, providing up to 1 hour of runtime with a 50-meter beam distance; a 100-lumen Medium setting, providing up to 2 hours of runtime with a 30-meter beam distance; and a 30-lumen Low setting, providing up to 5 hours of runtime with a 22-meter beam distance.

When maximum brightness is needed, the 500-lumen TURBO mode produces a beam distance of up to 70 meters for up to 10 seconds.

For situations requiring an immediate alert, the MYPAL 500 produces a 130dB alarm to call for help and alert others to an emergency situation. Two independently positioned buttons provide intuitive control of the light and alarm functions, allowing each feature to be activated separately.

Rechargeable and designed for everyday carry, the MYPAL 500 features an integrated carabiner clip for convenient attachment or easy pocket carry. Constructed from durable anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, it’s available in gray or rose gold. The MYPAL 500 is designed to remain readily accessible without adding bulk to a purse, pocket, keychain, or everyday carry setup.

Whether walking to a vehicle after dark, navigating low-light conditions, or taking the dog for an evening walk, the NEBO MYPAL 500 Personal Security Light provides a compact combination of illumination and on-demand personal security.

Watchtower Defense Unveils the Vantage Series

Watchtower Defense Unveils the Vantage Series

TOMBALL, TX (Nov. 2, 2026) ) — Watchtower Defense, a premier American firearms manufacturer, proudly announces the official launch of the Vantage Series, a new standard for high-performance, double-stack 1911 pistols. Engineered for shooters who demand absolute precision, maximum speed, and flat-shooting reliability, the series introduces two distinct configurations built from the ground up, the full-size Vantage and the more compact Vantage C.
At the heart of the Vantage Series is Watchtower Defense’s advanced integrated barrel and slide porting technology. Machined directly into the 416R stainless-steel slide and match-grade bull barrel, these ports redirect high-velocity gases upward and sideways. This tactical redirection forces the muzzle downward, neutralizing muzzle rise and minimizing felt recoil, so every follow-up shot lands exactly where intended. The full-size Vantage incorporates a V10 porting system optimized for its 5-inch barrel to maximize sight radius and bullet velocity, while the compact Vantage C features a V6 porting system finely tuned to its shorter, more agile 4.2-inch carry profile.
Every Vantage pistol is handcrafted with uncompromising attention to detail and built with premium materials throughout. The firearms are outfitted with a proprietary MJD carbon fiber and Kevlar composite double-stack grip module, meticulously engineered to absorb recoil and provide a locked-in, non-slip purchase. For optimal shooter interface, each model is equipped with a flat, machined aluminum trigger shoe tuned for a crisp 2.5-pound break (+/- 4 oz.) and a lightning-fast, sub-0.100-inch reset. The pistols come ready for modern optic configurations with an integrated RMR optic plate, a high-visibility fiber-optic front sight, and an optional removable rear blade. Built to withstand the harshest environments, both pistols are offered in two premium colorways, Black DLC or Flat Dark Earth PVD.
Every Vantage Series pistol ships as a complete performance package, ensuring shooters have everything they need right out of the box. Each package includes two premium stainless-steel DS 1911 magazines in standard 126mm and 140mm lengths, a heavy-duty custom Watchtower Defense range bag, a secure gun lock, and an official gunsmith certification card verifying hand-fitted quality and trigger pull weight.
The Watchtower Defense Vantage Series is now available through authorized FFL dealers nationwide and backed by a transferable limited lifetime warranty. The full-size Vantage V10 has an MSRP of $3,899, and the compact Vantage C V6 has an MSRP of $3,699.

Chiappa Firearms Puts the Fun Back in Hunt Camp with the Rhino 60DS Hunter

Chiappa Firearms Puts the Fun Back in Hunt Camp with the Rhino 60DS Hunter

DAYTON, Ohio (November 2, 2026) —As outdoor enthusiasts load trucks and open up camps for the season, Chiappa Firearms is inviting hunters to shake up their routine with a sidearm that doesn’t look like anything else in the rack: the Hunter Rhino 60DS. Chambered in .357 Magnum and fitted with a 6-inch barrel, the Rhino brings the power to take whitetail and hogs and the versatility to handle coyotes and other predators.

For hunters who have filled tags with the same rifle for years, the Rhino is a welcome wildcard. Carrying a revolver means slipping in closer, playing the wind more carefully, and making every shot count–the kind of challenge that reminds veteran hunters why they fell for the woods.

“The Rhino is a great conversation piece to bring to hunt camp because it is different than a regular revolver,” said Jay Putnam, General Manager at Chiappa USA. “The Rhino is the one people pick up and ask about. Then they shoot it, and they get it.”

Conventional revolvers fire from the top chamber; the Rhino fires from the bottom, placing the barrel low and nearly in line with the shooter’s hand. That low bore axis drives recoil straight back into the palm rather than levering the muzzle upward, delivering less muzzle flip, faster follow-up shots, and a magnum that stays comfortable through a full afternoon at the camp range.

The .357 Magnum has long earned its place in the woods. With quality hunting loads and sensible shot distances, it has the penetration for deer and hogs and the speed and accuracy for predators. The cylinder also chambers .38 Special, giving the whole camp an affordable, lighter-recoiling option for practice and friendly competition between hunts.

The 60DS Hunter pairs a Cerakote-green machined 7075-T6 alloy frame with a blued steel cylinder and barrel, keeping it light at 2.06 pounds. An adjustable green fiber-optic rear sight picks up fast in dawn and dusk light, and medium walnut grips add a classic touch to a thoroughly modern revolver. The Rhino fires single- or double-action and holds six rounds. It is made in Italy by Chiappa and distributed in the U.S. by Chiappa USA, based in Dayton, Ohio.

Upland picks: High Noon

Upland picks: High Noon

North Kansas City, MO (November 2, 2026) – The side-by-side is the oldest silhouette in the uplands, and the hardest one to get right. The Akkar USA High Noon Series was built to honor that tradition without asking shooters compromise fit. Offered in 12, 20, 28-gauge, and .410 bore, each High Noon is scaled to its cartridge.

Rather than building every model around a single action, Akkar gives each gauge its own receiver size. The result is a shotgun that comes to the shoulder with the balance and between-the-hands feel the gauge deserves, whether a shooter is walking early-season doves with the .410 or working a rooster field with the 12.

Each shotgun carries a 28-inch glossy blue barrel topped with a raised ventilated rib. At 9mm, the rib width is purpose-chosen: it delivers a stable, consistent sight picture without the ultra-wide barrel view that many side-by-sides present, helping shooters track a bird rather than read a barrel. All gauges are chambered 2¾–3 inches, giving hunters and clay shooters room to match loads to the task at hand.

Five flush chokes come standard with every High Noon, allowing shooters to tune patterns for tight cover, open country, or a round of skeet without adding bulk to the muzzle. An intuitive tang safety with integrated barrel selector keeps operation simple and familiar, putting both functions under the thumb where they belong.

The receivers have a high-gloss OxyCap finish that sharpens the gun’s appearance while protecting it against weather, handling, and the ordinary abuse of a full season. Butt stocks feature a Prince of Wales grip with enhanced checkering, a combination that fills the hand comfortably and holds securely through repeated shots and damp mornings alike.

For shooters who want a step up, the High Noon Elite adds tastefully engraved receivers and upgraded High Select wood. The mechanical package remains the same proven platform; the Elite dresses it in the kind of detail that earns a second look at the tailgate and a place in the gun cabinet.

Akkar USA High Noon Series Features:

  • Chamber Size: 2¾–3-inch chambers in all gauges
  • Choke System: Five flush chokes included
  • Barrel: 28-inch glossy blue barrels with raised ventilated rib
  • Safety: Tang safety with integrated barrel selector
  • Stock: Prince of Wales grip with enhanced checkering
  • Finish: High-gloss OxyCap protective finish
  • Warranty: 5-year limited warranty

Gun Season Ready: Ol’ Man Outdoors Introduces the OST-100 "Steady Eddie" Shooting Tripod

Gun Season Ready: Ol’ Man Outdoors Introduces the OST-100 “Steady Eddie” Shooting Tripod

Pearl, MS (November 2, 2026) – With deer gun season approaching, hunters need a dependable rest that turns a good shot into a clean, ethical harvest. The OST-100 Steady Eddie Tripod Shooting Stick answers that need, delivering field-tested stability designed for the moment a buck steps into a shooting lane.

Built to support rifle hunting from a stand, box blind, or ground setup, the OST-100 is engineered to perform when accuracy counts most during gun season. It also doubles as a reliable support for spotting scopes while glassing fields and cutovers, and it’s compatible with crossbows, making it a versatile tool for the entire hunt — from scouting to the shot.

The Steady Eddie features a ball head for fast and smooth positioning, flexibility, and strong locking power, so hunters can track a moving deer and settle in quickly. Inverted leg positioning with top-mounted twist locks enables faster deployment and convenient height adjustments across changing terrain—whether set up in a ground blind, along a fence line, or over a food plot.Its adjustable height range of 8 to 65 inches accommodates prone, seated, kneeling, and standing shooting positions, giving hunters flexibility whether posted up in dense brush, open fields, or rugged backcountry during gun season.

Weighing just 5 lbs. 10 oz., the OST-100 balances portability for still-hunting or spot-and-stalk tactics with the rugged stability needed for a confident, well-supported shot. Its ball head tripod mount design provides a steady base for improved shot adjustment and consistency, helping hunters stay locked on target during the critical seconds that decide a season.

From opening day of gun season to the final hunt before the close, the OST-100 Steady Eddie Tripod Shooting Stick is built to deliver reliable support and dependable performance whenever the shot presents itself.

Specifications:

  • Tripod Carry Weight: 5 lbs. 10 oz.
  • 8″ – 65″ Height Range

Ol’Man Treestands has been the engineer’s answer to the hunter’s challenge, dedicated to solving the core problems of instability, noise, and risk through patented innovation. Built on the “Anchor First” principle, our proprietary Clamp Down Jaw™ and Stabilizer Truss™ systems create a vise grip and eliminate sway, delivering a silent, firm foundation. This commitment extends to a complete ecosystem. From ladder stands and Big Bite climbing sticks to our Quick Set Aid & Hoist and TMA-certified safety systems, Ol’Man has hunters covered. Forged from high-strength materials and trusted by generations, we don’t just make stands; we build unwavering confidence.

Primary Weapons Systems Expands Support for Military and Law Enforcement with 10-8 Program

Boise, ID (November 8, 2026) – Primary Weapons Systems (PWS), a Boise-based manufacturer known for its long-stroke gas piston rifles, uppers, and suppressors, today highlighted its 10-8 Program, a dedicated sales channel offering preferred pricing and support to active-duty military personnel and sworn law enforcement officers.

Named for the radio code traditionally used to signal “in service,” the 10-8 Program reflects PWS’s continued commitment to the men and women who serve on the front lines of public safety and national defense. Through the program, eligible military and law enforcement buyers can access PWS’s product catalog, including its AR-15/MK1 and AR-10/MK2 platforms, and suppressor lineup, at pricing structured specifically for institutional and individual duty use. As part of the expanded 10-8 Program lineup, PWS is also making its Direct Impingement MK1 available exclusively to verified military and law enforcement buyers, giving agencies and units a lightweight, direct-impingement option alongside the company’s long-stroke piston platforms.

Every PWS upper and complete rifle purchased through the program carries the company’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when used with quality ammunition, along with PWS’s lifetime manufacturer warranty, underscoring the company’s confidence in its long-stroke piston platform for demanding operational environments.

Enrollment in the 10-8 Program is handled directly by the PWS Sales team, which verifies eligibility and walks agencies and individual officers through available options on a case-by-case basis. Interested personnel and procurement officers are encouraged to contact PWS Sales directly to confirm eligibility and program terms.

PWS products are sold through a nationwide network of dealers, and the company maintains full FFL-compliant, SSL-encrypted transaction processing for all direct sales. The company continues to manufacture its rifles, uppers, and suppressors domestically at its Boise, Idaho, facility.

Hornady® Reloading Data, Wherever the Bench Is: The Handbook and App

Hornady® Reloading Data, Wherever the Bench Is: The Handbook and App

Grand Island, NE (November 2 2026) — Every accurate handload starts with the right data, and Hornady® makes sure that data is never out of reach — whether a reloader is at a fixed bench, working out of a truck, or double-checking a load at the range. The Hornady® Handbook of Cartridge Reloading and its companion Reloading App put more than 1,000 pages of verified load data at a reloader’s fingertips, in whatever format fits how they work.

For reloaders who want a permanent reference on the bench, the Handbook remains available as a hardcover book, packed with data across rifle and handgun cartridges for every Hornady bullet. The same content is available as an eBook through Apple Books and Amazon Kindle, for reloaders who’d rather keep their data on a tablet or e-reader than take up shelf space.

The Hornady Reloading App takes that same library and puts it in a reloader’s pocket. Available on iOS and Android, the app lets users save favorite loads, add personal notes on the calibers and charges they use most, and pull up verified data mid-session without cracking open a book. Reloaders can buy data by the cartridge for as little as 99¢, or unlock the full library with an annual subscription at $19.99 — which also delivers new load data as soon as it’s available, ahead of the next printed edition of the Handbook.

Whichever format a reloader chooses, the goal is the same: accurate, dependable data that keeps every round consistent, from the first pull of the handle to the last.

Reloading Handbook & App at a Glance

  • Over 1,000 pages of load data covering rifle and handgun cartridges for Hornady bullets
  • Available as a hardcover Handbook, an eBook (Apple Books and Kindle), and the Hornady Reloading App
  • App available on iOS and Android
  • Save favorite loads and add personal notes in the app
  • Per-cartridge data purchases starting as low as 99¢
  • Annual app subscription: $19.99, including new load data ahead of the next printed edition

Hornady Reloading®, Hornady Security®, and SnapSafe® are owned by Hornady® Manufacturing Company, a family-owned business headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska. Proudly manufacturing products that are made in the USA, Hornady® Manufacturing is a world leader in bullet, ammunition, reloading tool, accessory, and security product design and manufacturing since 1949.

Give The Gift of Africa This Holiday Season With a Subscription to African Hunting Gazette

Give The Gift of Africa This Holiday Season With a Subscription to African Hunting Gazette

The Perfect Gift for Those Who Have Been to Africa, Are Planning to Go, or Simply Dream of Going

KEMPTON PARK, South Africa (Nov. 2, 2026) — What do you give someone who has never quite gotten Africa out of their heart? Or the hunter planning their first long-awaited safari? This holiday season, give them something that keeps the sights, stories, and spirit of Africa close throughout the year—a subscription to African Hunting Gazette.

“Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same.” — Brian Jackman

For those who have experienced Africa, those words need little explanation. There is an undeniable urge to return. For those planning their first safari, anticipation becomes part of the adventure. And for those who have only dreamed of Africa, every great story, photograph, and tale from the bush brings that dream a little closer.

African Hunting Gazette is the world’s leading hunting publication dedicated to celebrating the magic of hunting in Africa. Published quarterly, the magazine brings readers hunting adventures from across the continent, along with stories about Africa’s hunting traditions, today’s professional hunters, and the legendary figures who helped shape African hunting history. Readers also discover destinations, species, equipment, safari planning information, and thoughtful coverage of wildlife management, conservation, and the relationship between Africa’s wildlife and its people.

“Africa has a way of becoming part of you,” said Richard Lendrum, Publisher of African Hunting Gazette. “Once you have experienced it, you find yourself wanting to return. If you haven’t been yet, the dream of that first safari can be just as powerful. A subscription to African Hunting Gazette keeps that connection alive. Every issue offers another opportunity to experience Africa, learn something new, and begin dreaming about the next adventure.”

That makes an African Hunting Gazette subscription an especially meaningful gift. Unlike something opened and soon forgotten, it is a gift that continues to deliver the adventure, beauty, and spirit of Africa throughout the year—and, depending on the subscription selected, for years to come.

For the hunter who has already been to Africa, each issue can evoke memories of early mornings in the bush, evenings around the fire, unforgettable people, and extraordinary wildlife.

For someone preparing for a safari, African Hunting Gazette offers inspiration and practical information on destinations, hunting opportunities, equipment, and the people who make an African safari possible.

And for the person who simply dreams of someday hunting in Africa, the magazine offers a window into a world that has captivated generations of hunters.

African Hunting Gazette offers subscription packages ranging from one-year subscriptions to Lifetime Membership, making it easy to choose a gift for virtually any Africa enthusiast. Depending on the membership level selected, subscribers can also receive a variety of special bonuses and benefits, including books, lodging packages, and valuable discounts on taxidermy and other Africa-related services.

Whether it is a first introduction to Africa or a Lifetime Membership for someone whose connection to the continent already runs deep, an African Hunting Gazette subscription is more than a magazine to read. It is an invitation to keep experiencing Africa, one story and one adventure at a time

.
This holiday, skip the ordinary gifts and give an experience that lasts long after the decorations are put away.

Give the stories. Give the adventure. Give the dream. Give Africa.

To purchase an African Hunting Gazette subscription as a gift or to explore subscription and Lifetime Membership packages, visit AfricanHuntingGazette.com and select “Subscribe”.

GA-ASI Opening New Remote Split Operation in North Dakota

Screenshot 2026-02-02 174551

GA-ASI OPENING NEW REMOTE SPLIT OPERATION IN NORTH DAKOTA

SAN DIEGO — 30 October 2026 — General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) held a ribbon cutting ceremony on October 30 at its Flight Test & Training Center (FTTC) to announce the opening of a new Remote Split Operation (RSO) facility. GA-ASI will use the new RSO facility to continue executing the Contractor-Owned, Contractor Operated (COCO) lease of its MQ-9A Remotely Piloted Aircraft that support the U.S. Africa Command. GA-ASI is the manufacturer of MQ-9A and will use the new RSO facility, located near Grand Forks, North Dakota, to remotely fly operations in support of the U.S. Department of War.

The RSO opening event included U.S. Senator John Hoeven (R-ND) and GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. Sen. Hoeven’s office was instrumental in establishing this support center in North Dakota.

“General Atomics is moving pilots from Africa to Grand Forks to remotely fly their missions for AFRICOM. Doing so makes perfect sense, and that’s why we worked through the Senate Defense Appropriations Committee to make it happen. This new facility is not only a real cost savings for AFRICOM, which will save more than $10 million per year as pilots operate from Grand Forks rather than overseas, but it also brings a broader intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance portfolio to our state. We appreciate GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue for his company’s continued investment in our state and for working with us to strengthen our national defense and intelligence gathering capabilities, which are vital to the success of our warfighters,” said U.S. Senator John Hoeven.

“We’re excited to establish this new facility in North Dakota,” said Blue. “Setting up our remote flight operations here in North Dakota will allow us to decrease the number of personnel required overseas, significantly reducing the cost of the COCO to the U.S. government and, more importantly, significantly increase the safety for our personnel. It will also bring approximately 50 well-paying jobs to the Grand Forks community.”

About GA-ASI

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world’s foremost builder of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®, XQ-67A, and FQ-42 Vengeance. The company is dedicated to providing long-endurance, multi-mission solutions that deliver persistent situational awareness and rapid strike.

A HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Happy Halloween

Wishing You All A Spooky and Fun Halloween!

The veil between worlds is at its thinnest, the autumn air has turned crisp and biting, and things are officially going bump in the night. Whether you’re suiting up for tactical operations against the undead, carving up grinning jack-o’-lanterns, or simply hunkering down with a massive pile of candy and a terrifying movie marathon, I hope your night is an absolute thrill.

Halloween has always been about celebrating the shadows, the monsters, and the wonderfully macabre stories that keep us on the edge of our seats. So, as the fog rolls in and the ghouls come out to play, take a moment to embrace the strange and unusual. Keep your eyes sharp, stay safe out there in the dark, and watch your six—you never know what might be lurking just beyond the tree line!

Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey and for sharing the passion for the spooky side of life. Have a wickedly fun, candy-fueled, and unforgettable night!

Cheers,

Winchester Collaborates with Ducks Unlimited, Bass Pro Shops, and Richard Childress Racing for Xfinity 500 NASCAR Cup Series Race

Winchester Collaborates with Ducks Unlimited, Bass Pro Shops, and Richard Childress Racing for Xfinity 500 NASCAR Cup Series Race

CLAYTON, MO (October 29, 2026) — Winchester celebrates Ducks Unlimited and conservation alongside Bass Pro Shops on the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet with a waterfowl-themed paint scheme. Hunters, conservationists, and NASCAR fans can watch the No. 3 take the track on Sunday, November 1, at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, VA.

“Winchester is proud to feature Ducks Unlimited on the No. 3 car,” said Jason Gilbertson, Senior Director of Marketing for Winchester Ammunition. “Showcasing Ducks Unlimited on the track is a meaningful way to celebrate the incredible impact the organization has had across North America protecting critical habitats and supporting healthy waterfowl populations.”

“Ducks Unlimited is excited to be featured on the No. 3 Chevrolet along with longtime partners Winchester and Bass Pro Shops,” said Jeremy Smith, Senior Director of Corporate Relations at Ducks Unlimited. “This is an excellent opportunity to bring attention to the impact hunters and sportsmen have on conserving wetlands and waterfowl habitat.”
“I love the outdoors, hunting and fishing, so to put all these brands together on one car is pretty special,” said Austin Dillon, driver of the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. “I think all the outdoorsmen will really take notice, especially when you put the No. 3 on a short track. We just need to go out there and have a great race. I am proud to represent a bunch of great conservationists, and we need to do our part to give back to the outdoors for the future.”

Illinois Suppressor Ban Challenge Heard by the Seventh Circuit

Screenshot 2026-10-22 152137

THE UNIFIED VOICE OF THE SUPPRESSOR COMMUNITY

Illinois Suppressor Ban Challenge Heard by the Seventh Circuit

On October 28, 2026, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit heard oral argument in Anderson v. Raoul, the challenge to Illinois’ ban on suppressor ownership backed by the ASA Foundation and Silencer Shop. The appeal asks the court to reverse a September 2025 district court ruling that held suppressors are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment.

Attorneys for Anderson argued that Illinois regulates suppressors only because of their effect on how a firearm operates. And since a suppressor has no purpose apart from the firearm it’s attached to, the two items together function as a single arm. They went on to cite the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Wolford v. Lopez in support of Second Amendment protection for suppressed firearms. The State countered that suppressors are not arms at all, and argued that ruling otherwise would extend constitutional protection to anything that can be attached to a firearm — which we believe it should!

The case is now under advisement, and the panel will issue a written decision at some future date to be determined. Whatever the outcome, either side could seek further review from the full Seventh Circuit or the U.S. Supreme Court. We’ll keep you updated as the case moves forward.

Adept Armor Launches BulletFoam Torso Pad, First Armor Made from Its New Ballistic Foam


Adept Armor Launches BulletFoam™ Torso Pad, First Armor Made from Its New Ballistic Foam

231-gram panel stops 9mm and fragments, works alone or behind a rifle plate, and floats more than three times its own weight.

Denison, TX. (October 2026) – Adept Armor, pioneers in next-gen protective solutions, today announced the BulletFoam™ Torso Pad, a 231-gram (0.51-pound) ballistic panel that stops handgun rounds and fragments. The 10-by-12-inch panel is the first product made from BulletFoam, a molded ballistic fiber-foam composite that stops projectiles through depth rather than dense layers of fiber. The Torso Pad is built as one panel with several jobs. It can be worn alone as lightweight armor, worn as blunt-impact padding, placed behind a rifle plate instead of a trauma pad, used to stage a plate carrier, carried in a bag, or worn on and near water for added buoyancy.

“A soldier already wears knee pads, elbow pads and a helmet liner, and almost none of it stops anything,” said Jake Ganor, founder and CEO of Adept Armor. “BulletFoam is light enough to change that. The Torso Pad is the first step: armor that weighs what padding weighs. The next step is making the padding they already wear into armor.”

Element U.S. Space & Defense in Belcamp, Maryland, tested the Torso Pad on July 8, 2026. A single panel stopped a 9mm 124-grain full metal jacket round at 1,330 feet per second and again at 1,430 feet per second on the same panel. As a free-standing panel, it recorded a 17-grain fragment-simulating projectile V50 of 1,385 feet per second (422 meters per second) under MIL-STD-662F.

That protection comes in a panel 10 by 12 inches and half an inch thick that weighs less than Apple’s flagship iPhone: at 231 grams, the Torso Pad is lighter than an iPhone 18 Pro Max (249 grams). Its low density has to be felt to be believed.

The Torso Pad is not rifle-rated. For rifle threats, Adept Armor suggests a hard plate with the Torso Pad behind it. The panel has been independently tested but is not an NIJ-listed model.

Six Ways to Use It:

  1. Standalone Armor – In a plate carrier or concealable carrier, the panel provides handgun and fragment protection light enough to wear all day for low-profile, light-duty, and long-duration work.
  2. Blunt Trauma Protection – The semi-rigid panel spreads and absorbs blunt impacts from batons, thrown objects, kicks, and falls, for riot control, corrections, mounted and equestrian work, and other high-contact duty.
  3. Behind a Rifle Plate – It replaces the non-ballistic trauma pad with a second layer of armor that manages backface loading, improves fit, and adds its own handgun and fragment protection.
  4. Carrier Staging Insert – Panels keep the carrier shaped, seated on the body, and protective. Rifle plates drop in when the threat level rises, with no re-rigging.
  5. On and Near Water – Each panel provides about 0.8 kilograms (1.8 pounds) of net positive buoyancy in fresh water to offset heavy kit. It complements a life jacket but does not replace one.
  6. Outside the Carrier – As a backpack, laptop sleeve, jacket, or travel-kit insert, it carries protection where armor is normally left behind.

“Most armor does one job. This panel does six. Wear it alone, behind a rifle plate, or as padding on a riot line or in the saddle. Keep it in your carrier until you need plates, or slip it into a bag. And it floats. All at 231 grams,” said Ganor.

Conventional soft armor compresses fiber into dense laminated layers. BulletFoam holds aramid and UHMWPE fiber inside a proprietary closed-cell foam structure at roughly one-quarter the density of water. It slows a projectile through the thickness of the panel rather than stopping it at a single plane.

The semi-rigid material holds its shape, spreads impact over a wider area, tolerates repeated hits, and floats. Adept filed a patent application for BulletFoam in August 2026. Knee, elbow, and helmet pads made from the material are planned to follow the Torso Pad.
