NSSF Talks Project ChildSafe, Suicide Prevention on Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew

NSSF Talks Project ChildSafe, Suicide Prevention on Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is bringing the importance of secure storage of firearms and suicide prevention to the national airwaves with Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew. NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi will be a featured guest on an upcoming episode of Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew to speak about the imperative of securing firearms to prevent tragedies. The episode will air on Fox Business, May 10, between 5–6 p.m. (EDT).

“This is a truly a unique opportunity to talk to the American public about the firearm industry’s commitment to secure firearm storage and suicide prevention with a trusted leader and proven voice of healthcare in America,” Bartozzi said. “And that’s what this is about. We want to make gun owners across America aware that there are resources available to secure firearms so they remain beyond the reach of those who cannot be trusted to possess them. Likewise, the firearm industry provides resources to firearm retailers and ranges to have a ‘brave conversation’ to prevent the tragedy of suicide.”

Bartozzi will speak to Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew about NSSF’s Project ChildSafe ^® secure firearm storage initiative. Project ChildSafe proudly partners with over 15,000 law enforcement agencies in all 50 states and five U.S. territories to provide free firearm safety kits to the public. Those kits include educational material to educate gun owners on secure firearm storage and a cable-style locking device. When properly attached to a firearm, that locking device renders a firearm inoperable.

Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew will feature Bartozzi explaining NSSF’s “Brave Conversations” initiative, which includes a partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). NSSF provides educational resources, available at firearm ranges and retailers, to assist gun owners to get friends and loved ones struggling with suicidal ideations connected to health care professionals to prevent suicides.

Both initiatives are part of NSSF’s Real Solutions. Safer Communities^® firearm safety campaign, which includes Fix NICS^® initiative, to ensure the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) has verifying background check records, Don’t Lie for the Other Guy ^TM, a cooperative public awareness initiative with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive (ATF) to warn against illegal firearm straw purchases and Operation Secure Store ^®, another cooperative initiative with ATF to voluntarily improve firearm retailer security to prevent and deter burglaries and robberies.

Nebraska got hit hard. Here’s how you can help.

Posted on Thursday, 7 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

PURCHASE YOUR SHIRT NOW »

Support Nebraska ranchers affected by recent wildfires

When wildfires swept across nearly 1 million acres of Nebraska ranchland — an area larger than Rhode Island — they didn’t just burn grass. They took fences, livestock, hay, buildings, and years of work with them. The Nebraska Sandhills, one of the most productive beef-producing regions in the world, took a devastating hit. And after years of drought, the road back is long.

Hornady is doing something about it.

We’ve created a limited-edition Nebraska Strong t-shirt, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Nebraska Cattlemen Disaster Relief Fund to help ranchers start rebuilding. These shirts are available for a limited time only — when they’re gone, they’re gone.

Bodi.Me Wins 2026 NAUMD Innovation Award

Posted on Thursday, 7 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Bodi.Me Wins 2026 NAUMD Innovation Award®

Size-Me5.0 impresses judges with its BestDress Sofitel project.

London, 5 May 2026: Bodi.Me, the UK-based fashion fit technology company, is proud to announce that it has won the prestigious Innovation Award® at the 2026 Network Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors’ (NAUMD) annual awards ceremony, held during the annual NAUMD Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, May 5, 2026. The award recognizes groundbreaking advancements in the uniform, image apparel, workwear, and public safety equipment industries and honors the best innovations in design, technology, and sustainability. NAUMD selected Bodi.Me as the winner for the innovative performance of its latest tool, Size-Me 5.0, in supporting its client, DressBest, with its Sofitel global uniform campaign.

Size.Me 5.0 is Bodi.Me’s latest generation digital sizing and virtual try-on service for professional uniform programs. Size-Me 5.0 builds on previous versions with a redesigned multilingual interface, a significantly enhanced AI/ML engine, and an optimized deployment workflow proven for complex, multi-site global rollouts.

The NAUMD Awards judges were impressed by Bodi.Me’s work with DressBest for Sofitel, which demonstrated Size-Me 5.0’s problem-solving capabilities and originality. They also highlighted the tool’s use of the latest AI and ML technologies to support its clients’ projects, specifically in the context of the following builds:

Design and service experience:

Adoption-first UX: a new guided, step-by-step journey that is faster to complete and reduces user error—improving data quality and recommendation confidence.
Multilingual interface: built for international workforces so users can answer in their preferred language, improving participation and accuracy across locations.
Non-intrusive by design: achieves accurate sizing without selfie scanning or body imaging, supporting privacy expectations in workplace environments.

Enhanced Technology:

AI fit intelligence: Size-Me 5.0 boasts an enhanced AI matching engine that translates user inputs into granular body-measurement estimates and then maps those to garment-specific sizing—aligned to each garment’s grading and fit profile, not generic size charts.
Data-driven precision: continuous model improvement powered by hundreds of thousands of real body measurements collected in the last 18 months, including a major expansion of female plus-size measurement intelligence.
Program calibration: each client collection is configured and calibrated, so recommendations reflect what is actually manufactured and distributed.

Stock optimization, cost saving, and delivering uniform distribution at scale:

Stock and production optimization: by capturing size requirements up front (by garment, role, and location), Size.Me 5.0 helps partners forecast size curves, allocate inventory across sites, and plan production more accurately, reducing overproduction, stockouts, and costly redistribution.
Enables uniform programs to replace slow, expensive sizing methods (tailors, size sets, and physical try-ons at every site) with a scalable digital workflow that can be deployed globally.
Built for operational delivery: secure QR/URL access can direct each employee to the correct collection; outputs support correct ordering by garment and role, reducing disruption from wrong-size distribution.

Presented to the Bodi.Me team in a room packed with hundreds of professionals from across the uniform, image apparel, and workwear industry, Bodi.Me CEO and co-founder, Lara Mazzoni, said about the award: ”The Size-Me system is highly adaptable and can be tailored to client needs. Sofitel had specific requirements for their uniforms campaign that needed to be met, and our client, DressBest, entrusted us to help them produce an effective solution. Our team collaborated closely with our clients at DressBest and the Sofitel team to develop a system that would meet all their needs and make a marked difference on a global scale. We are incredibly proud that those efforts are being recognized by this prestigious award.”

Size-Me 5.0 is Bodi.Me’s most advanced version of the company’s size recommendation software tool to date, and builds on a track record of over 1.5 million size recommendations delivered since 2013 — including 500,000 for more than 100,000 wearers in 2025 alone.

Key outcomes with Size-Me 5.0:

Accurate first-time fit and fewer size-related returns/exchanges (often reduced by 80 percent plus; in many programs from a typical 15–20 percent to ~4 percent).
Stock and production optimization through size-demand intelligence before manufacturing. Reducing over 50 percent of the size of overstock.
Instant rollouts across multiple sites and countries via multilingual UX and streamlined access with over 90 percent user engagement. Distribution optimization through correct allocation by location and role.

Brands and manufacturers interested in the technology can find out more or book a demonstration at www.bodi.me.

About Bodi.Me:

Founded in 2013 and based in the UK, Bodi.Me pioneers digital sizing and fit technology for professional clothing and uniform programs. Bodi.Me helps organizations deliver better-fitting garments for diverse bodies—improving comfort and confidence for wearers while reducing waste, rework, and supply chain cost for suppliers and program owners.

NEW from Winchester – AutoBuck Ammunition

Posted on Thursday, 7 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

NEW from Winchester^® – AutoBuck^™Ammunition

CLAYTON, MO (May 6, 2026) — Winchester Ammunition launches AutoBuck^™, an all-new buckshot shotshell engineered specifically for semi-automatic shotguns.
Available in 12 gauge, AutoBuck^™ is an all-purpose buckshot load designed to reliably function in semi-automatic shotguns, as well as pump action, break action, and others. With a #1 buckshot payload suitable for hunting, defense, and target shooting, AutoBuck^™ is the dependable buckshot load for nearly all situations.
Key features of AutoBuck^™—

#1 buckshot – Provides excellent penetration, stopping power, and pellet count
High pellet count – Packed with 12, #1 Buck pellets
Ultra reliable – Optimized payload and velocities help ensure reliable functioning, even in semi-automatic shotguns

“Our engineering team went to the drawing board to develop a reliable buckshot load that fits multiple end uses and provides great value,” said Kyle Masinelli, Sr. Director Product Innovation & Strategy for Winchester. “The result is AutoBuck^™. Whether you’re a competition shooter, hunter, or looking for a personal defense load, AutoBuck^™ is an ideal choice.”
Traditionally, #00 buckshot is the shot size of choice due to availability and familiarity, but #1 buckshot can offer superior performance over #00 buck in many situations. The slightly smaller pellet size allows for 3 additional pellets in the payload, which improves hit probability while maintaining plenty of pellet energy and penetration.

Winchester^®AutoBuck^™ shotshells areavailable at retailers nationwide. Visit Winchester.com/where-to-buy to find a retailer near you.

LEXINGTON, KY—May 6, 2026 —GALLS®, the trusted source for uniforms and essential equipment for America’s public safety professionals, has been honored with three Best Dressed Public Safety Department Awards at the annual NAUMD conference. Recognized alongside the Atlanta Police Department, the Philadelphia Police Department, and the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office, GALLS^® demonstrated an unwavering commitment to outfitting first responders with robust, specialized apparel that supports rapid deployment and effective scene control in dynamic environments.

For emergency response professionals facing high-pressure situations, reliable equipment is vital. GALLS^® partnered with these leading agencies to deliver modernized uniform solutions that balance authoritative appearance with tactical functionality, ensuring seamless operation and quick decision-making in the field.

The NAUMD recognized GALLS^® for its dedicated service and innovative solutions across the following agencies:

Atlanta Police Department (Police Department Category): In preparation for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, GALLS^® and LION/Elbeco outfitted approximately 1,800 sworn officers with a high-visibility uniform program. The modernized duty shirts and trousers ensure officers are instantly recognizable in large crowds, providing immediate response capabilities and clear identification during this major international event.

Philadelphia Police Department (Police Department Category): Partnering with LION/Elbeco, GALLS^® facilitated the department’s transition from the traditional powder-blue uniform to a crisp midnight-navy uniform. This comprehensive modernization equips nearly 2,000 officers with darker, highly durable garments that conceal stains and reinforce a professional, authoritative presence essential for secure and efficient urban scene control.

Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office (Sheriff Department Category): GALLS^® modernized the uniform system for over 400 sworn deputies, introducing a Tundra Green-and-black color palette. Utilizing the Blauer FlexRS system, these versatile utility and Class B uniforms provide exceptional mobility and breathability, supporting seamless inter-agency coordination and tactical readiness across varied operational environments.

GALLS^® CEO Mike Fadden stated, “Winning these three NAUMD awards highlights our ability to outfit multi-disciplinary teams with the state-of-the-art gear they need to secure their communities, coordinate successfully, and return home safely. Our close partnerships with leading manufacturers such as Elbeco are instrumental to our mission. By collaborating with trusted apparel innovators, we ensure every uniform program meets rigorous standards of quality and performance. These strong, reliable relationships allow us to deliver on our commitment to excellence for those who serve on the front lines.”

Review: MANTIS TITAN-X Smart Laser Training Pistol

Posted on Wednesday, 6 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

The Evolution of Dry Fire

The Titan-X isn’t just another laser trainer; it is a purpose-built, smart training pistol designed to bridge the massive gap between static dry fire and live-fire proficiency. By integrating an auto-resetting trigger with the high-fidelity sensor technology of the MantisX ecosystem, Mantis has created a platform that promises to make high-volume training safer, more accessible, and most importantly genuinely fun.

In this review, I’ll introduce you to what sets the Titan-X apart. We’ll look at how it prioritizes safety as a 100% inert system, its remarkable ease of use that gets you training in minutes, and the seamless integration with the MantisX app that turns every trigger press into a data point. More than just a gadget, we’ll evaluate its effectiveness in building real-world muscle memory and whether it finally provides the spice needed to make daily practice something you actually look forward to.

Whether you’re a competitive shooter chasing tenths of a second or a concealed carry holder looking to sharpen your fundamentals from the comfort of your living room, the Titan-X aims to be the ultimate shortcut to mastery.

Spartan Precision Equipment Introduces the Kestros Sling System: Redefining Mobility and Precision in the Field

Posted on Wednesday, 6 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Spartan Precision Equipment Introduces the Kestros Sling System:
Redefining Mobility and Precision in the Field

East Sussex, UK (May 5, 2026) — Spartan Precision Equipment proudly announces the launch of the all-new Kestros Sling System, an innovative carry solution engineered to seamlessly bridge the gap between stalking and taking the shot. Designed for hunters and shooters who demand efficiency, speed, and reliability, the Kestros Sling System eliminates the friction of gear management by keeping both rifle and bipod stowed, secure, and instantly deployable when it matters most.

True to Spartan Precision Equipment’s commitment to working with the best partners in the world, the Kestros Sling System represents a collaboration of elite design and manufacturing expertise. The system was conceived by a renowned Finnish sniper, bringing real-world operational insight into how a rifle should be carried in demanding environments. Designed to hold your rifle comfortably and securely, the Kestros enables complete hands-free movement without fear of the rifle slipping from your shoulder—no matter the terrain or conditions. The system is proudly manufactured in Finland, reflecting the highest standards of precision engineering and durability.

At the core of the Kestros system is a simple but powerful concept: your bipod should be as accessible as your rifle. Unlike traditional slings that focus solely on carrying a firearm, the Kestros manages the entire shooting system. Built for the mobile hunter, it ensures that your bipod is never buried in a pack or out of reach. Instead, it remains securely attached and ready, allowing for a faster, smoother transition from movement to shot execution.

The Kestros Sling System features three adaptive carry configurations that respond to terrain, pace, and readiness in real time. In its traditional configuration, the sling functions as a comfortable over-the-shoulder carry system, with padding and webbing that distribute weight evenly to reduce fatigue during long stalks. When configured in harness mode, the system secures the rifle centrally across the hunter’s back or chest, preventing unwanted movement and improving balance in challenging terrain. In safety mode, the sling loops under a single shoulder, creating a stable triangular anchor point across the chest that enhances control and readiness in dynamic environments.

Purpose-built to integrate with Spartan’s renowned bipod technology, the Kestros Sling System is paired perfectly with the Javelin Pro Hunt Tac bipod. Constructed from ultralight carbon fiber and engineered to withstand calibers up to .300 RUM, the Pro Hunt Tac delivers unmatched stability in the field. The Kestros complements this performance by ensuring the bipod is always accessible and ready for immediate deployment.

A key component of the system is the Kestros Clip, manufactured from industrial-grade PA12 Nylon and specifically designed and molded for the Javelin Pro Hunt Tac bipod. This precision fit ensures a secure, rattle-free dock that keeps the bipod firmly in place without the risk of accidental release. While the clip may accommodate similar diameter bipods, it is optimized for the Pro Hunt Tac’s leg profile to deliver maximum retention and silence in the field.

The system is also fully compatible with Spartan’s MagnaSwitch™ technology, allowing users to transition from chest carry to rifle-mounted deployment in one fluid motion. With no latches, buttons, or unnecessary movement, the result is a faster, more intuitive shooting experience. Despite its advanced functionality, the combined weight of the Kestros Sling and Pro Hunt Tac bipod remains lighter than many traditional leather slings, while delivering the added benefit of a complete precision shooting platform.

With the introduction of the Kestros Sling System, Spartan Precision Equipment challenges hunters to rethink how they carry and deploy their gear. This is more than a sling—it is a fully integrated system designed to enhance mobility, efficiency, and shot readiness in the most demanding environments.
The Kestros Sling is available at a suggested retail price of $80.00, with the Kestros Clip offered separately for $25.00. For those seeking the complete system, the sling and clip are available together as a bundled package for $100.00. For more information on the Kestros Sling system visit http://www.javlinbipod.com.

Spartan Precision Equipment is a globally recognized manufacturer of innovative precision shooting accessories for hunters, competitive shooters, and professional end users. Based in the United Kingdom, the company is best known for its patented magnetic attachment systems and lightweight, durable rifle support solutions. Combining advanced engineering with real-world field experience, the company’s award-winning products are designed and manufactured to the highest standards, delivering uncompromising performance, reliability, and versatility in demanding environments.

Big Horn Armory (BHA) AR500 NEXT GEN Rifle Headlines GUNS Magazine’s May 2026 Prize Package Giveaway

BHA donates its 500 Auto Max rifle to GUNS Magazine sweepstakes valued at $2,749, featuring gear from Spartan Blades and Streamlight.

Cody, Wyo. (May 2026) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, today announced it is the featured sponsor of GUNS Magazine ’s May 2026 Prize Package Giveaway. The company has donated its BHA AR500 NEXT GEN Rifle as the centerpiece of a prize package valued at $2,749, joined by contributions from Spartan Blades and Streamlight. The giveaway is open now and ends May 31, 2026.

Chambered in 500 Auto Max, the BHA AR500 NEXT GEN is an AR rifle like no other. Not content with the big-bore cartridge offerings already available in the AR platform, the engineers at BHA set out to match the power and versatility of the company’s Model 89 Lever Action in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The result was the development of the 500 Auto Max, a rimless 500 S&W Magnum designed to feed in a semi-automatic rifle. The combination of size, familiar manual of arms, available accessories, and energy on target makes the AR500 ready to handle almost any situation.

“The AR500 was built for shooters who refuse to settle for what everyone else is making, and that’s exactly the kind of reader GUNS Magazine reaches,” said Greg Buchel, Owner of Big Horn Armory. “We’re proud to put our rifle into the hands of one lucky winner, and proud to stand alongside Spartan Blades and Streamlight in a prize package that delivers real performance from front to back. At BHA, we go BIG, or we go home, and this giveaway is no exception.”

Rounding out the package is the Spartan-Harsey Fighter, a fixed-blade knife born from a collaboration between master knifemaker William W. Harsey Jr. and Spartan Blades. It combines the proven design of a U.S. military combat/utility blade with Harsey’s signature ergonomic handle and is engineered to perform in the most demanding conditions.

Also included is the Streamlight Wedge, a compact, high-performance EDC light designed for clean pocket carry. Outfitted with an intuitive rotating thumb switch, the Wedge delivers tactile control over its constant-on and THRO (Temporarily Heightened Regulated Output) modes, with output up to 1,000 lumens, a 110-meter beam, and a 35-second burst.

Mail-in entries are accepted by postcards only. Limit one entry per household; multiple entries will disqualify entrants. The winner will be chosen by random drawing, and all federal, state, and local laws apply. View Full Terms & Conditions here.

About Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

Drive Safe, Arrive Ready: NEBO, THAW, and TRUE Provide Peace of Mind on the Road

Ft. Worth, TX (May 5, 2026) – Road trips, commutes, and long-haul drives have one thing in common: the unexpected can happen at any time. From flat tires to sudden breakdowns, icy weather, or navigating in the dark, every driver faces risks that can turn an ordinary trip into a roadside emergency. Preparation is the difference between being stranded and getting safely back on the road. That is why NEBO, THAW, and TRUE deliver reliable, innovative solutions to keep drivers safe, equipped, and confident wherever the road leads.

Light for Every Situation

Few things are more unsettling than being stranded roadside at night without light. NEBO personal lighting products eliminate that worry with dependable illumination built for emergencies. Long recognized as a leader in portable lighting, NEBO offers rechargeable, long-lasting lights that outperform traditional flashlights. Whether repairing a flat on the shoulder, navigating a dark back road, or searching for dropped items in the car, NEBO provides bright, consistent light when safety and visibility are most critical. Compact and easy to store in a glove box, NEBO lights are essential for everyday use and roadside emergencies.

Power When It Is Needed Most

Portable jump starters are essential tools for any vehicle owner, offering a wide range of benefits that make them a wise investment. First and foremost, these compact devices provide peace of mind by ensuring no driver is left stranded with a dead battery. Whether used in a car, RV, or boat, a portable jump starter can quickly revive a vehicle battery, eliminating the need to wait for a tow or depend on the help of others. NEBO’s line of portable jump starters delivers powerful, reliable performance in compact designs that fit easily in a glove box or gear bag. Many models feature built-in USB ports, allowing for the charging of phones, tablets, and other electronics while traveling, making them ideal for long trips and outdoor adventures. With NEBO jump starters, drivers can remain prepared, connected, and in control under any circumstances.

Warmth When Winter Strikes

Cold weather brings its own set of risks for drivers. Mechanical failures, icy roads, or delays during winter storms can expose passengers to freezing conditions. THAW provides personal heating products that are reliable, rechargeable, and ready at the push of a button. Designed for moments when warmth is more than comfort and becomes a matter of safety, THAW protects drivers and passengers until help arrives or conditions improve. THAW ensures every vehicle is prepared for cold-weather challenges, from business trips to family journeys through unpredictable winter weather.

Tools That Get the Job Done

Emergencies demand quick action, and the right tools make all the difference.

They are not designed for display; they are built to be used, and used hard.

Preparation That Travels With Drivers

Together, NEBO, THAW, and TRUE form a complete safety system for the road. NEBO keeps the scene lit, powers essential devices, and provides the jump-start needed to get moving again. THAW delivers critical warmth in winter, and TRUE equips drivers with the tools to respond effectively when seconds matter.

Galco’s Combat Master 2.0 Belt Holster now available for 4.25" 1911s with or without red dot sight!

HOME HOLSTERS AMMO CARRIERS BELTS FAQ

Galco’s Combat Master 2.0 Belt Holster now available for 4.25″ 1911s with or w/o red dot sight!

May 2026

Now available for 4.25″ 1911s with or without red dot sight!

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.

New for 2026, A Modern Interpretation of a Classic Single-Action: The Chiappa S.A. 1873 Black Thunder

Posted on Tuesday, 5 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

New for 2026, A Modern Interpretation of a Classic Single-Action: The Chiappa S.A. 1873 Black Thunder

Dayton, OH (May 4, 2026) – Chiappa Firearms expands its single-action revolver lineup with the introduction of the S.A. 1873 Black Thunder, a modern revolver built around one of the most recognizable handgun patterns in firearms history. Chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, the Black Thunder maintains the traditional single-action operating system that defines the 1873 pattern while incorporating several contemporary features intended to support modern shooting, hunting, and outdoor applications.

The revolver operates through a traditional single-action mechanism and uses a six-round fluted cylinder with a semi-hexagonal profile. This geometry reduces weight while maintaining structural strength and balance in the hand. A transfer bar safety system supports safe operation while preserving the familiar manual of arms expected from a single-action revolver.

Chiappa pairs this action with a tensioned barrel system comprising a steel inner barrel housed within an aluminum outer sleeve. This construction helps reduce overall weight while maintaining rigidity and consistency in the barrel assembly. The revolver will be offered in two configurations: a 5.5-inch barrel and a 7.5-inch barrel, providing shooters with options suited to both compact carry and extended sight radius preferences.

Several modern features distinguish the Black Thunder from traditional revolver reproductions. A top-mounted Picatinny rail allows the installation of optics, enabling shooters to configure the revolver for hunting or specialized shooting applications. The revolver also features an enlarged trigger guard, improving accessibility when wearing gloves or operating it in colder environments.

The revolver is equipped with fiber-optic sights, combining a high-visibility front element with a fully adjustable fiber-optic rear sight to support rapid sight acquisition in varying lighting conditions. Ergonomics are further enhanced by an oversized Hogue® rubber grip, designed to improve recoil control when firing full-power .44 Magnum loads. The grip frame remains compatible with Ruger® Super Blackhawk-style grips, offering shooters additional customization options.

The S.A. 1873 Black Thunder maintains the strong visual character associated with classic single-action revolvers while incorporating modern mechanical and ergonomic updates. Manufactured in Italy, the revolver represents Chiappa’s continued effort to evolve historical firearm designs into platforms suited for contemporary use.
