Premium Fit, Premium Performance: Meet the New Radar Holsters for the Chiappa Rhino

Posted on Thursday, 20 August, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Premium Fit, Premium Performance: Meet the New Radar Holsters for the Chiappa Rhino

Dayton, Ohio (August 19, 2026) – Among the most important considerations for firearms enthusiasts is confidence in how they carry their firearm. The right holster not only provides comfort throughout the day but also protects the firearm while delivering the retention, accessibility, and performance needed for safe, efficient use. For owners of the Chiappa Rhino 44RM L Frame, that means choosing a holster engineered specifically for the revolver’s unique profile to ensure a secure fit, smooth draw, and dependable everyday performance.

Chiappa USA, the importer, distributor, and manufacturer representing Chiappa Firearms and Charles Daly in the United States, is proud to announce the arrival of its new Rhino L-Right Holster collection, available to American consumers beginning in December.

Crafted in Italy by Radar, the Rhino L-Right Holsters are purpose-built for the Chiappa Rhino 44RM L Frame and designed specifically for right-handed shooters. Combining premium materials, precision craftsmanship, and a custom-molded fit, the collection delivers the quality, reliability, and comfort expected from two respected names in the firearms industry. Three distinct models are available, allowing shooters to choose the carry option that best fits their application and personal preference.

The Rhino L-Right Italian Leather Holster is designed for shooters who appreciate timeless craftsmanship without sacrificing functionality. Constructed from premium Italian leather, the holster offers an elegant appearance while delivering exceptional durability and long-lasting performance. Its precision-molded design provides excellent firearm retention while allowing for a smooth, consistent draw. Ideal for range use, collection pieces, or everyday carry where leather is preferred, this holster combines classic styling with modern performance.

For those seeking a rugged, lightweight alternative, the Rhino L-Right Cordura® Holster delivers dependable performance in demanding conditions. Built from durable Cordura® fabric, this holster resists abrasion and everyday wear while minimizing weight for all-day comfort. Its reinforced construction maintains excellent firearm retention and provides reliable protection in the field, making it an outstanding choice for hunting, outdoor recreation, and general-purpose carry where durability and practicality are essential.

The Rhino L-Right Three-Point Cordura® Chest Holster provides a specialized carry solution for hunters, backcountry adventurers, and shooters who require immediate access while keeping the firearm secure and out of the way. Featuring a fully adjustable three-point harness, the chest holster distributes weight evenly for superior comfort during extended wear. Its full-coverage design protects the revolver from the elements while maintaining secure retention and quick accessibility, even when wearing backpacks, heavy outerwear, or other gear.

“The Rhino is one of the most distinctive revolvers in the firearms industry, and it deserves accessories engineered to the same standard,” said Oscar Chiappa, Marketing Manager for Chiappa Firearms. “Working with Radar has allowed us to offer Rhino owners premium holsters manufactured in Italy that complement the revolver’s innovative design while delivering the comfort, security, and performance shooters expect. Whether choosing leather, Cordura®, or a chest carry configuration, shooters can be confident they are using a holster designed specifically for the Rhino platform.”

When selecting a holster for the Chiappa Rhino 44RM L Frame, choosing one designed specifically for the firearm makes all the difference. Rather than settling for a generic alternative that may compromise fit, comfort, or performance, shooters can rely on the limited-edition Rhino L-Right Holster collection to deliver the quality, protection, and confidence expected from authentic Chiappa accessories.

Accuracy X, Inc. Unveils Multi-Sight MAX System

Posted on Wednesday, 19 August, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Accuracy X, Inc. Unveils Multi-Sight™ MAX System

Patented mount delivers ultra-low direct-mount depth with swap-anytime sight versatility.

Hardy, Va. (August 2026) – Accuracy X, Inc (AXI), the makers of the world’s proven most accurate pistols, has introduced the Multi-Sight™ MAX System, a patented optic-mounting platform that pairs the ultra-low profile of a direct mount with the durability and configurability the company has built its reputation on. The new system expands, rather than replaces, the original Multi-Sight System, which remains in production and fully supported.

Direct-mounting a red dot has traditionally forced shooters to trade away long-term reliability and versatility. The Multi-Sight MAX ends that compromise. At the core of the system is the company’s patented Index-Recoil Lug, engineered to absorb the shear forces that break fasteners, destroy optics, and shift zero. The result is absolute zero retention across repeated plate changes.

The system’s patent-pending Direct Depth Mounting System routes mounting screws directly into the slide instead of through a threaded plate, allowing Accuracy X to machine deeper pockets and seat optics lower than conventional direct mounts. The resulting height-over-bore is the lowest achievable on a pistol slide.

Configurability comes from the SLOT Sight™ System paired with a new Rapid Change Interface, which lets shooters swap front and rear sight blades, from suppressor height to compact co-witness, without removing the red dot. A front-mounted co-witness option addresses snag concerns raised by some law enforcement agencies, and an integrated, ambidextrous slide racker rounds out a competition-ready feature set.

The Multi-Sight MAX supports the three most popular optic footprints, the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, Aimpoint ACRO, and Trijicon RMR, which together account for about 95 percent of red-dot sights in use. Additional modules and accessories are planned.

“For years, shooters have had to choose between the ultra-low profile of a direct mount and the reliability and versatility of a robust system,” said Steve Huff, president of Accuracy X. “We refused to accept that compromise. The Multi-Sight MAX gets the dot as low as it can go and lets you tune your entire setup without ever touching your red dot. When excellent isn’t good enough, this is what comes next.”’

Watch an in-depth technical breakdown of the Multi-Sight MAX system and discover how this low-profile, modular sight mounting platform revolutionizes versatility for handguns in the recent video “The Ultimate Optic Solution: Deep Dive Into the Multi-Sight MAX System.” The video discusses machining tolerances, optic compatibility, co-witness options, and why this system is changing the game for competitive and tactical shooters alike.

It is available now for licensed partners. Full specifications will be available at www.accuracyx.com.

HOME HOLSTERS AMMO CARRIERS BELTS FAQ

Galco’s Combat Master 2.0 for Springfield Armory Echelon w/wo carry optic!

August 2026

Now available for Springfield Armory Echelon 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.

Back on the Saddle

Posted on Tuesday, 18 August, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

NEW FOR 2026

Back on the Saddle

ScentLok’s new Saddle Hunter Pro is crafted from collar to cuff with advanced technologies and features specific to the needs of saddle hunting

MUSKEGON, Mich. (August 17, 2026) – If you haven’t saddle hunted or aren’t at least familiar with the advanced hunting technique, it’s time to pick your knuckles up off the ground and come into the light.

For the cavemen hunters and gatherers out there: Saddle hunting puts you up in a tree on an easily transported fabric harness-style seat (saddle) tethered to a tree trunk and standing on a small platform. From this comfortable and readied saddle posture, you can sit, lean, and pivot with ease – able to glass and release an arrow at nearly 360 degrees with the tree trunk itself always between you and deer.

NEW Realtree XT-3

Mossy Oak Original Treestand

Those the gist of it. But also know there are operational challenges to saddle hunting in conventional hunting apparel. High collars can block visibility. Pockets can be inaccessible. Knees get scuffed and sore from rough tree bark. And the cut of most jackets and bottoms is just wrong for this active pursuit.

Overcoming these challenges is signature to ScentLok. And it’s why the leading brand in hunting gear developed the new Saddle Hunter Pro Jacket and Pant.

Considered a midseason outfit, and easily layered for colder conditions, Saddle Hunter Pro follows ScentLok’s “fabric first” promise. The exceptional polyester micro-tricot shell fabric is deadly-quiet, letting you maneuver in the saddle without alerting the forest.

Polyester micro-tricot is an extremely fine warp‑knit fabric known for being smooth, quiet, slightly stretchy, and durable. ScentLok’s polyester micro-tricot is also strong, dimensionally stable, quick‑drying, and resistant to shrinking and wrinkling.

A significant upgrade to saddle hunting predecessors is ScentLok’s sophisticated windproof membrane:

WindBrake^®

Exclusive to ScentLok, the breathable membrane-barrier stops wind from robbing body heat while letting perspiration vapor escape. This windproof breathability keeps you from getting that cold and clammy feeling experienced with other wind blocks that do not release moisture.

Internally, you’ll appreciate the warm diamond-shaped polar fleece. The geometric patterning helps maintain loft and reduce pilling by keeping the fleece in place. Moreover, it boosts the fabric’s warming capacity and eliminates the noticeable “droop” in linings that aren’t similarly secured.

Specific to saddle hunting, the Saddle Hunter Pro Jacket includes a tapered collar with three-inch high back. This provides comprehensive wind blockage from the backside, while maintaining full view of the battlefield unimpeded by a standard, squared-off collar, which can act like a blinder on a horse.

The jacket’s pocket placement is also expertly envisioned. Each of the three pockets is placed for accessibility in the saddle: one angled zippered chest pocket and two midbody zippered pockets.

Also, the jacket features a harness access port for wearing in a traditional treestand.

NEW Realtree XT-3

Mossy Oak Original Treestand

The pants are equally specialized. Firstly, you have four front-facing pockets for storage and quick access in the saddle: two open waist pockets and a pair of zippered thigh pockets. While on the topic of zippers, the pant sports knee-high leg zippers for easy on/off in the field – boots on.

Next, the defining feature of the Saddle Hunter Pro happens at the knees. ScentLok articulated the knees to endorse motion and prevent the legs from hiking up when you sit. Articulated knees are a design feature where the fabric at the knee is shaped and seamed to match the natural bend of the leg.

The knee fabric is fortified, too, saving wear and tear from scaling trees. Additionally, ScentLok included EVA foam knee panels to soften extended contact with the tree trunk.

Saddle up this season with ScentLok’s new Saddle Hunter Pro!

Saddle Hunter Pro Jacket FEATURES:

Carbon Alloy^® technology for odor adsorption
WindBrake^® windproof design helps to protect against harsh winds
Deadly quiet polyester micro-tricot shell fabric
Warm diamond-shaped polar fleece lining
Climafleece cuff insert for a snug fit
Tapered collar with a 3” high back for protection against the wind
3 pockets placed for accessibility in the saddle (1 angled zippered chest pocket, 2 mid-body zippered pockets)
Safety harness access port if you want to take a break from the saddle and use a traditional harness
SIZES: S – 3XL
PATTERNS: Mossy Oak Original Treestand and NEW Realtree XT-3

MSRP $199.99

Saddle Hunter Pro Pant FEATURES:

Carbon Alloy^® technology for odor adsorption
WindBrake^® windproof design helps to protect against harsh winds

NEW Realtree XT-3™

Realtree XT-3™ is a versatile camouflage pattern engineered for performance across multiple terrains, using an abstract foundation of geometric lines, layered textures, and strategically placed color breaks. Realtree XT-3™ disrupts the human outline through sharp angles and fractured shapes that mimic the visual chaos found in diverse environments. Its balanced palette adapts seamlessly from open ground to mixed cover, allowing the pattern to remain effective in changing light, distance, and habitat conditions, making it a true multi-location camo built for adaptability and concealment.

New Counter-Drone Weapon Uses Edge AI Instead of Jamming

Posted on Monday, 17 August, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

New Counter-Drone Weapon Uses Edge AI Instead of Jamming

Aug 13, 2026

(Source: iHLA)

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

Small drones are becoming faster, more autonomous, and increasingly resistant to traditional countermeasures. Many counter-drone systems rely on electronic jamming or cyber techniques, but these approaches can be less effective against autonomous platforms or drones operating in electronically contested environments. As swarm attacks become a growing concern, defense developers are exploring kinetic solutions capable of physically neutralizing large numbers of aerial threats.

A new counter-drone platform (called Iron Rain by ARCYN Defense) has been designed around that concept. Rather than attempting to disrupt a drone’s communications or navigation, the system uses a high-rate-of-fire kinetic mechanism guided by edge artificial intelligence to engage and destroy incoming targets.

The platform combines a patent-pending firing mechanism with configurable projectiles optimized for counter-unmanned aircraft missions. According to NextGenDefense, at the heart of the system is edge AI, which processes sensor information locally to identify, track, and engage aerial threats in real time without depending on remote computing resources.

Processing information directly on the platform reduces response times while allowing the system to continue operating in environments where communications may be degraded or unavailable. This is particularly important when engaging multiple fast-moving targets simultaneously.

The developers envision the system as a complementary layer within broader counter-UAS architectures rather than a replacement for electronic warfare or missile-based defenses. By providing a kinetic engagement option, it is intended to counter autonomous drones, electronic warfare-resistant aircraft, and swarm attacks that may overwhelm conventional defenses.

From a defense perspective, kinetic counter-drone systems are receiving growing attention because they offer a direct means of defeating threats that cannot easily be jammed or spoofed. As autonomous navigation becomes more common, physically intercepting the aircraft itself may become increasingly necessary.

The system is also designed with portability and scalability in mind, enabling deployment in a variety of operational environments where rapid setup and sustained engagements are required.

Development of the platform is continuing through additional funding and collaborative research efforts, with field evaluations planned to assess performance under operational conditions. Researchers are also exploring integration opportunities that could allow the system to operate alongside existing air-defense networks.

As drone technology continues to evolve, layered defenses that combine electronic warfare, directed energy, and kinetic interception are becoming an increasingly important strategy. Systems that pair edge AI with rapid-response kinetic engagement represent one approach to addressing the growing complexity and scale of modern unmanned aerial threats.

ARCYN Defense is a U.S. defense technology startup building edge-AI-enabled, low-cost kinetic counter-drone (C-UAS) systems like its flagship Iron Rain project. Formerly known as Marteos Industries, the company is headquartered in California and collaborates with the U.S. Army DEVCOM Armaments Center to address modern aerial threats

For the first time since 1934, suppressors have been lawfully transferred without the federal NFA registration requirement. A major moment for suppressor owners and the Second Amendment community.

We’re proud to support the organizations that have been fighting for this alongside us, including GOA and the American Suppressor Association (ASA).

️ We recently sat down with Owen Miller, Vice President of the American Suppressor Association, to talk about what this means, how we got here, and what comes next.

WarBird Secures Three Soft Armor Certifications Under New NIJ 0101.07 Standard

Posted on Monday, 17 August, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

WarBird Secures Three Soft Armor Certifications Under New NIJ 0101.07 Standard

Michigan-based manufacturer WarBird Protection Group leads the industry

with multiple models meeting the National Institute of Justice’s rigorous new benchmark.

KALKASKA, Mich. — August 12, 2026 — WarBird Protection Group Inc. has established itself at the forefront of ballistic compliance, securing three soft armor certifications under the National Institute of Justice’s new NIJ 0101.07 standard.

Out of the first 15 models certified industry-wide, WarBird’s lineup accounts for 20% of them, with one of the four certified HG1 models and two of the 11 certified HG2 models—reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, trusted protection for law enforcement and tactical professionals.

The achievement marks a significant milestone for WarBird Protection Group as the company brings more than 50 years of family armor-industry experience to a new generation of ballistic protection.

“After months of working through the certification process, receiving these certifications is a tremendous accomplishment for WarBird,” said Matt Davis, Founder and CEO of WarBird Protection Group. “Having three products certified under NIJ 0101.07 this early in the transition validates the work our team has put into designing armor specifically around the new standard. We believe agencies and end users should have access to armor that delivers the required protection without unnecessary weight and bulk.”

Three Models Certified to the New Standard.

WarBird now has three NIJ 0101.07-certified soft armor models: the Phenom HG2, Vanish HG2 and Vanish HG1. The Phenom and Vanish HG2 models are certified at the HG2 protection level, while the Vanish HG1 is certified at the HG1 protection level.

Of the 15 soft armor models currently certified to NIJ 0101.07, four are HG1 models and 11 are HG2 models. WarBird’s portfolio includes one of the four certified HG1 models and two of the 11 certified HG2 models.

Under NIJ 0101.07, HG1 and HG2 replace the previous Level II and Level IIIA classifications for handgun-resistant armor. HG2 represents the higher of the two handgun protection levels.

WarBird engineered its Phenom and Vanish systems around a simple objective:

provide the required protection while making armor thinner, lighter and more

comfortable to wear.

The Phenom HG2 weighs just 0.90 pounds per square foot and measures 0.22 inches thick. The Vanish HG1 weighs 0.82 pounds per square foot and measures 0.21 inches thick, while the Vanish HG2 weighs 1.09 pounds per square foot and measures 0.24 inches thick.

That focus on wearability is central to WarBird’s armor development philosophy. The company’s CORE Pattern System was developed using decades of experience, thousands of individual measurements and extensive wear testing to balance armor coverage with comfort. The company’s approach is based on the premise that armor can only provide its intended protection when users are willing and able to wear it consistently.

NIJ 0101.07 Raises the Standard.

The new NIJ 0101.07 standard represents a substantial evolution in ballistic armor testing. Developed to address advances in ballistic threats, materials and armor

design, the standard introduces new handgun and rifle protection classifications and updated testing requirements. NIJ 0101.07 uses HG1 and HG2 for handgun threats and RF1, RF2 and RF3 for rifle threats. The associated threat levels and ammunition are defined by NIJ 0123.00.

The standard also introduces significant changes to the evaluation of armor, including additional shot locations, enhanced conditioning and testing requirements, and updated methodologies for armor designed for female wearers. WarBird has specifically highlighted the new neckline shot requirement, which evaluates armor’s ability to stop a projectile impacting near the edge of the protected area at an angle.

The new standard is designed to better reflect the conditions armor can encounter in the field and provide end users with greater confidence in certified products.

For agencies, the transition also represents an important procurement consideration. NIJ maintains separate compliant product listings for the 0101.06 and 0101.07 standards, making it important for purchasers to understand exactly which standard a product has been certified under.

Although WarBird Protection Group is a relatively young brand, the company is built on more than 50 years of armor industry experience through the Davis family. That history provides the foundation for WarBird’s approach to developing modern personal protection equipment.

WarBird has made significant investment in its Michigan operations and manufacturing capabilities and is now fulfilling orders for this new generation of body armor products. The company combines its’ longstanding armor expertise with a cutting edge factory and experienced operators to provide their customers with the highest level of quality and fast turnaround on orders.

“We aren’t interested in putting a new label on old armor,” Davis said. “We designed these products around the requirements of NIJ 0101.07 from the beginning. The new standard gives the industry an opportunity to raise the bar, and we’re proud to be among the companies helping lead that transition.”

With three NIJ 0101.07 certifications now secured, WarBird Protection Group has established the largest early portfolio of compliant soft body armor under the new standard.
