EDC, EDC XL, or EDC Enclosed. Here’s How to Pick.

The EDC Line. Built Three Ways.

C&H Precision built the EDC series around one idea: a carry-ready red dot that holds zero, survives daily abuse, and gets out of your way. All three models share the same core construction: CNC machined one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum, IPX7 waterproofing (submersible to 1 meter for 30 minutes), a CR1620 battery, 5-minute auto-shutoff, and a lifetime warranty.

The difference is in the footprint, the window, and the housing. Here’s how to read the lineup.

C&H Precision EDC

Starting at $199.99 | RMSc Footprint

The EDC is the compact option in the lineup. It runs the RMSc footprint, which makes it the right fit for subcompact and compact pistols where slide real estate is tight. The profile is low, snag-free, and built to disappear into a holster. Open emitter design keeps weight down and the sight picture clean. Multi-reticle options let you run a dot, a crosshatch, or other configurations depending on your preference.
If your setup is a compact or subcompact carry gun and you want the smallest, lightest option in the EDC family, this is the one.

SHOP EDC

C&H Precision EDC-XL

Starting at $224.99 | RMR Footprint

The EDC XL is the larger window version. It runs the RMR footprint, opening it up to a wider range of full-size and duty pistols. The bigger glass means faster target acquisition and more situational awareness downrange. Like the standard EDC, it offers multi-reticle options and a fully enclosed emitter for all-weather readiness.

If your gun runs an RMR footprint and you want more window without jumping to a full competition optic, the EDC XL is the move.

SHOP EDC-XL

C&H Precision EDC Enclosed

$249.99 | RMSc Footprint

The EDC Enclosed takes the same RMSc footprint as the standard EDC and puts a fully enclosed housing around the emitter. That means the lens and emitter are protected from moisture, dirt, and carbon fouling in a way an open emitter simply cannot match. The sight picture stays clean even in conditions that would compromise an open design. Multi-reticle options are included. The body stays low-profile and snag-free.

If you carry in rough conditions, run a compact platform, and want the added protection of a fully enclosed system, this is the right choice.

GA-ASI News: YFQ-42A Returns to Flight Testing

Posted on Friday, 22 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

GA-ASI Marks Another Aviation First With YFQ-42A CCA Flight Testing | General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.

YFQ-42A RETURNS TO FLIGHT TESTING

SAN DIEGO – 21 May 2026 – The YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft, built by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) for the U.S. Air Force, has returned to flight testing following a round of safety reviews and software enhancements for the new uncrewed fighter jet.

The return follows a strategic pause in flight testing stemming from an April 6 mishap shortly after takeoff. Other aspects of the YFQ-42A program, including ground testing and other Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) activities, continued without interruption.

No one was injured in the incident, though the aircraft was a total loss. A thorough safety review isolated the cause to an autopilot miscalculation for the weight and center of gravity of the aircraft, prompting a software remediation.

The Air Force and GA-ASI conducted a joint review following the mishap. Following a stringent evaluation, technical authorities endorsed the software changes and YFQ-42A has returned to the air.

“We’re excited to have YFQ-42A flying again,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “It’s been said that you learn more from your setbacks than your successes. We are applying what we’ve learned to our growing fleet of CCAs, as we continue building the most dependable and cost-efficient unmanned fighters in the world.”

The YFQ-42A is a purpose-built CCA platform developed as part of ongoing investment in next-generation semi-autonomous combat aircraft. The aircraft’s modular design enables rapid integration of mission systems and mission autonomy software. GA-ASI’s software architecture, demonstrated through multiple live flight tests on multiple airframes, provides the foundation for human-machine teaming in complex combat scenarios.

GA-ASI was selected by the U.S. Air Force in April 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. The YFQ-42A successfully conducted its maiden flight in August 2025, validating a “genus/species” concept for rapid, modular, and low-cost uncrewed fighter aircraft development. This approach enables a common core aircraft design that can be rapidly adapted for different mission sets and service requirements.

GA-ASI Completes First Flight of MQ-9B With AEW Pods

Posted on Friday, 22 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

MQ-9B Drone Flies with Airborne Early Warning Pods - The Aviationist

GA-ASI COMPLETES FIRST FLIGHT OF MQ-9B WITH AEW PODS

New Development Effort Will Enable Airborne Early Warning Capability for MQ-9B

SAN DIEGO – 21 May 2026 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) flew its MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft for the first time with Airborne Early Warning (AEW) pods. The much-anticipated AEW capability is being provided through a partnership with Saab. Once the AEW sensor, named LoyalEye, is made available to MQ-9B operators and new customers, it will deliver persistent and cost-effective air surveillance capabilities in regions where it is currently unavailable.

GA-ASI conducted a validation flight of MQ-9B using AEW radar pods on May 19 from GA-ASI’s Desert Horizon flight operations facility in Southern California using a company-owned aircraft. The flight signaled the first step in a development process that is expected to take several months and culminate with a full-capability demonstration later this year.

GA-ASI and Saab announced their partnership last year with the intention of bringing AEW capability to the MQ-9B platform.

MQ-9B models include the SkyGuardian^® and SeaGuardian^®, the United Kingdom’s MQ-9B variant known as Protector, and the new MQ-9B STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) configuration currently in development for naval aircraft carriers.

“AEW for MQ-9B will offer critical aloft sensing to defend against tactical air munitions, guided missiles, drones, fighter and bomber aircraft, and other threats. Operational availability for a medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS is the highest of any military aircraft, and as an unmanned platform, its aircrews are not put into harm’s way,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander.

“This partnership integrates MQ-9B with LoyalEye, equipping operators with vital information for critical decision-making. LoyalEye extends the capabilities of manned systems, and it offers persistent surveillance and greater operational flexibility. This enhances situational awareness and boosts mission success,” said Carl-Johan Bergholm, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Area Surveillance at Saab.

GA-ASI and Saab’s AEW offering will span a wide range of applications, including early detection and warning, long-range detection and tracking, and simultaneous target tracking and flexible system integration — all over line-of-sight and SATCOM connectivity.

LIMIT RUN: Henry X JK Armament .30-30 Package + Memorial Day Sale

Posted on Thursday, 21 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

LIMIT RUN! Henry X JK Armament .30-30 package.

Built for the modern woodsman with a nod to the old-school outlaw spirit, the Henry X JK Armament .30-30 Packages proves that quiet lever guns have always been cool. Over a century ago, Teddy Roosevelt was already running a suppressed .30-30 to keep the peace with the neighbors. Turns out, some ideas never go out of style.

This all-American package pairs the rugged reliability of the Henry Explorer .30-30 with a perfectly color-matched JK Armament custom RPX 30 Cal Suppressor for a setup that looks as good as it shoots. From the rifle and suppressor to the optic, every component in the package is proudly made in the USA.

Fast-handling, lightweight, and ridiculously fun on steel, hogs, coyotes, or just a back forty range day, this is the lever gun reimagined for modern shooters. Every package also ships protected in a rugged Pelican Vault hard case, ready for travel, storage, or life in the truck.

Classic Americana meets modern suppression technology. Smooth, quiet, and built entirely in the USA.

Akkar USA – Start Right: Shotguns for New Shooters

Posted on Thursday, 21 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Get Pumped for Clay Target Shooting Season with Akkar USA

North Kansas City, MO (May 19, 2026) – Clay target shooting rewards timing, focus, and the ability to point naturally. While over/unders and semi-autos dominate the clay sports, pump-action events put the focus back on fundamentals, a challenge to say the least. Crushing targets demand clean mechanics, smooth cycling, and uninterrupted rhythm. Four-time NSCA National Pump Champion Dan Callahan built his success on that discipline, and the Akkar shotgun bearing his name is designed around the same principles.

The Callahan competition-ready pump is not the same as a typical field shotgun. For target shooting, this 12-gauge features a 30-inch vent rib barrel. The added length changes the balance and creates a smoother swing. At just over 7.5 lbs, the shotgun is heavy enough to soak up recoil, yet nimble enough to maneuver and point. A spring-assisted ejector delivers positive, controlled ejection with both 2.75- and 3-inch shells, without disrupting reloading rhythm, which is essential for fast follow-up shots. Further, five extended chokes provide presentation-specific patterns and enable quick choke swaps between stands.

A Monte Carlo target stock improves eye alignment, stability, and recoil management—key advantages for high-volume shooting on the clay range. For success with a pump-action in the clay sports, shooters need every advantage, and the Callahan delivers, and it looks great while doing it.

The Callahan, like all Akkar USA shotguns, comes with a 5-year limited warranty, so shooters can hit the range with confidence.

Callahan Features:

Action Type: Side-by-Side
Trigger: Single trigger design
Finish: Matte black metal finish

Specifications:

Gauge: 12
Barrel Length: 30 inches
Chamber Length: 2 3/4″, 3″
Overall Length: 50 3/4″
Weight: 7 lbs 9 oz

About Akkar USA:

Akkar USA offers a unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation by creating high-quality shotguns catering to hunting enthusiasts and competitive shooters. Founded in Istanbul in 1985, Akkar has now expanded its operations in the USA. With innovative designs that prioritize reliability and safety while remaining faithful to our hunting and shooting heritage, Akkar USA shotguns are built for those who demand reliability in the field, at home, and at the range. Akkar USA is committed to delivering the highest-quality products for all passionate shooters and hunters.

NSSF Funded Lawsuit Seeks Emergency Preliminary Injunction to Block Virginia’s Gun, Magazine Ban Law

Posted on Thursday, 21 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

NSSF Funded Lawsuit Seeks Emergency Preliminary Injunction to Block Virginia’s Gun, Magazine Ban Law

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Plaintiffs challenging Virginia’s ban on the sale of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) and standard-capacity magazines filed an emergency motion for a preliminary injunction to block the Commonwealth from enforcing its unconstitutional law. The motion and the challenge to the law, funded by NSSF ^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, were filed with Virginia’s Circuit Court of Fauquier County.

Plaintiffs in the challenge, including Erick Black, Britton Condon, Clark’s Gun Shop, Optimus Arms, LLC and Hexmag USA, LLC, allege that Virginia’s law violates both the U.S. and Virginia Constitutions. The plaintiffs further requested a hearing on the motion for injunction by June 19, 2026, before the effective date of July 1, 2026, when Virginia’s ban on the sale of the most popular-selling centerfire rifle in America will be enforced.

“This law is unconstitutional and allowing it to be enforced would rob law-abiding citizens of Virginia of their rights protected by both the Virginia’s Constitution and the U.S. Constitution,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Governor Abigail Spanberger admitted in her statement when she signed the law that she knew it banned popular hunting guns. Allowing this law to be enforced while it is being challenged in court would cause irreparable harm to law-abiding Virginians who seek to exercise the full spectrum of their civil liberties.”

The emergency motion details that plaintiffs — including a former Green Beret, a decorated clay shooter, a firearm retailer, a firearm manufacturer and magazine manufacturer — would suffer irreparable harm to the free exercise of their Second Amendment rights and livelihoods. The motion argues that the U.S. Supreme Court, in Heller, previously held that bans of firearms in common use violate the Second Amendment. There are over 32 million MSRs in circulation in America today and conservatively estimated nearly 1 billion detachable magazines in private possession and hundreds of millions with capacity exceeding 15 rounds.

Additionally, Virginia’s law fails the Supreme Court’s Bruen test, as there is no historical tradition for bans on entire classes of firearms when the Second Amendment was adopted in 1791. In fact, the motion details that Virginia’s first settlers in Jamestown, nearly to a man, were armed with firearms.

Virginia’s law banning the sale of MSRs and standard-capacity magazines sweeps up all manner of common semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns. It includes any semiautomatic rifle that can accept a detachable magazine and one or more prohibited cosmetic characteristics that have no bearing on the function of the firearm. Many of those features add to the safe-handling and accuracy of the firearm.

The law also sweeps in semiautomatic pistols with two or more prohibited characteristics, many of which are designed for increased safety and accessibility for individuals with physical limitations. Likewise, the law includes certain semiautomatic shotguns, which are ubiquitous among hunters and youth hunters.

Violations of Virginia’s sweeping bans will be a Class I misdemeanor offense that carries a sentence of one year of imprisonment and a $2,500 fine. This is not an insignificant infraction.

About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

Upgrade Your Sights with Our New Tool!

Posted on Thursday, 21 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

TAG Precision Launches New Sight Finder Tool to Simplify Firearm Sight Upgrades

Dallas, TX – TAG Precision has officially launched its all-new Sight Finder feature, designed to simplify and streamline the process of finding the correct sight for virtually any firearm platform. The new tool gives customers a faster, more intuitive way to shop for premium handgun sights without the guesswork.

Available now at TAG Precision Sight Finder, the feature allows users to simply select their firearm manufacturer and model to instantly view compatible sight options. Whether customers are upgrading for competition shooting, concealed carry, duty use, or improved range performance, the Sight Finder helps ensure a seamless shopping experience from start to finish.

TAG Precision developed the tool with firearm owners in mind, removing the confusion often associated with aftermarket sight compatibility and making upgrades easier than ever before.

“Our goal has always been to make premium sight upgrades as simple and effective as possible,” said Jordon Musser, Chief Operating Officer of TAG Precision. “The new Sight Finder takes the frustration out of choosing the correct sight and allows shooters to quickly find exactly what they need with confidence.”

In addition to the new Sight Finder experience, TAG Precision continues to lead the industry with its patented FiberLok™ technology. With an exceptionally bright, perfectly-shaped fiber optic dot, these sights are engineered to not only make target acquisition faster, but also allow for quick fiber color changes as lighting or environment dictates. Unlike traditional fiber optic sights with acrylic rods that can be prone to fiber breakage, TAG Precision’s FiberLok™ design uses flexible fiber material machined for exacting fit and unbreakable reliability.

TAG Precision has tested its sights for more than 65,000 rounds on the same sight system with zero issues or shifting, demonstrating the rugged performance and long term dependability serious shooters demand.

TAG Precision sights are designed, tested, and trusted by firearm enthusiasts who expect superior visibility, rugged construction, and real-world reliability in every shooting environment.

About Tag Precision:

TAG Precision sets a new standard in handgun‑sight innovation by manufacturing in‑house premium billet‑steel sights with precision and durability in mind. Its patented FiberLok™ system allows shooters to remove and replace fiber‑optic inserts in seconds—unlike the traditional “melt and mushroom” method—delivering brighter visibility, greater durability and true customization. Whether you’re a competitive shooter, firearms enthusiast or professional user, TAG Precision offers a superior experience built on innovation, precision and uncompromising quality.

Big Horn Armory (BHA) Removed from YouTube

Posted on Wednesday, 20 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Big Horn Armory (BHA) Removed from YouTube

Wyoming-based big-bore rifle manufacturer appealed strikes in vain as the platform terminated its channel after a retroactive application of a new firearms handling policy.

Cody, Wyo. (May 2026) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, announced today that YouTube has permanently removed the company’s channel from its platform. The termination follows three strikes issued against videos that had been posted more than two years prior without incident, each cited as violations of the platform’s updated firearms policy.

The videos in question were routine, non-instructional content that included demonstrations such as shooting frozen chickens. They contained no instructions for manufacturing or modifying firearms, no sales solicitation, and no content that would have violated YouTube’s long-standing community guidelines at the time of posting. The company assesses that the strikes were the result of retroactive policy changes that now classify the mere handling of a firearm as a policy violation in certain contexts.

YouTube’s current firearms policy states, in part, that the platform does not allow live streams showing someone holding, handling, or transporting a firearm. The policy’s application appears to have expanded over time in ways that have affected pre-existing content that was compliant under prior standards.

Big Horn Armory pursued the platform’s formal appeals process following the first strike and had successfully appealed similar actions in the past. This time, all appeals were denied. Upon reviewing YouTube’s revised policy in full, company leadership determined that further appeals were unlikely to succeed, as the updated language appeared to prohibit the type of firearms-handling content that is central to virtually all of Big Horn Armory’s video library.

“We are a federally licensed firearms manufacturer. We operate legally and transparently, and we have done so since our founding. We did not change our content. The platform changed its standards and applied them retroactively to videos our community had watched for years without issue,” said Greg Buchel, Owner of Big Horn Armory. “At a certain point, continuing to appeal a policy that is written to exclude us made no sense. We accept what has happened, and we are moving forward.”

Big Horn Armory’s full video catalog, including rifle reviews, field demonstrations, hunting footage, and product showcases, remains available in its entirety on Rumble, the video platform that has become a trusted destination for the firearms community and those who value open access to lawful content.

Subscribers and followers are encouraged to visit the Big Horn Armory Rumble channel at https://rumble.com/user/BigHornArmory/ to subscribe and continue following the company’s content. Big Horn Armory remains active on Facebook, Instagram, and X at @BigHornArmory across all three platforms.

The company states it has no plans to modify its content approach and will continue producing video content focused on its product line, field use, and the broader shooting sports community.

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.

Attendees and sponsors emphasized the Summit’s unique value as an intimate, focused setting where companies can exchange ideas, identify solutions and build stronger relationships across the firearm industry.

“It’s rare that you get a collection of business leaders in the same room who are focused on the same thing,” said Connor Dunaway, 20North Marketing CEO. “What’s happening in marketing? How do I be successful? How do I lead my organization? What changes are impacting me? And how can I be a thought leader and driver through this?”

“This is probably one of my favorite events of the year,” said Kyle Van Winkle, Head of 2A Enterprise at Listrak. “Folks are thinking about how they’re interacting with their customers, how they’re engaging, how they’re starting to build these relationships from the ground up.”

“We’ve been around for less than a year, and some of the people I’ve met and made relationships with said, ‘You’ve got to be over in Hilton Head for this conference.’ It’s been huge. We’ll not only be back next year, but we’ll also be at SHOT Show^® in a big way,” said Walt Geer, Slingit CEO and Founder.

Upcoming Review: Streamlight’s POLYTAC 1X USB

Posted on Monday, 18 May, 2026 by twobirdsflyingpub

Streamlight’s POLYTAC 1X USB

For years, anyone needing an indestructible, no-nonsense tactical light looked straight at Streamlight’s POLYTAC lineup. It has been a staple for law enforcement, military, and EDC enthusiasts who demand absolute reliability. Now, the series is getting a massive modern facelift with the Streamlight POLYTAC 1X USB. It keeps the same rugged, featherweight polymer chassis we know and love, but throws down a muscular 500 lumens alongside true “multi-fuel” versatility and USB-C convenience. In my upcoming review, we’re going to find out if this upgraded pocket rocket lives up to its duty-ready heritage.
