Carrying comfortable vs. carrying correctly

Posted on Monday, 27 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

THE BELT WITH NO HOLES ^®

Many think they have to choose between feeling good and carrying securely.

Some even choose their tools based on comfort — like opting for a single-stack firearm solely for easier carry…

Even if it means giving up firepower or fit.

But with the Titan EDC Belt, you don’t have to compromise.

Crafted from high-density nylon, it provides the stiffness needed to keep your gear in place and prevent printing — ensuring maximum discretion and security.

Yet the PreciseFit™ ratchet technology lets you adjust in 1/4-inch increments to find that perfect fit, no matter what you carry every day.

It stands up to any EDC setup… while offering enough comfort to go about your day every single day.

No compromises.

CZ Shadow 2 Compact — FULL-SIZE FEATURES, SMALLER SIZE

Posted on Friday, 24 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

CZ Shadow 2 Compact — Full Size Features, Smaller Size

Las Vegas, NV (January 23, 2025) -CZ mirrored the Shadow 2 Compact after its legendary full-sized competition model. Shooters get the same instinctive fit and feel as its flagship CZ SHADOW 2, with a reduction in size and weight. It provides the comfort and accuracy shooters love and retains all the key strengths of the series. The Shadow 2 Compact is light, nimble in competition, and a right-sized option for concealed carry.

For the shooter who wants a top-tier, highly accurate pistol that is easier to handle and carry, the CZ Shadow 2 Compact is an outstanding choice. Like its big brother, the compact model is engineered specifically for the dynamic shooting sport disciplines and includes advanced materials and match-ready features.

The COMPACT’s overall size is 7.5 (L) x 1.4 (W) x 5.4 (H) inches, and it retains a high-capacity magazine that holds 15 rounds. A 4-inch barrel trims its overall length, allowing it to glide quickly from a holster while still achieving good ballistic performance.

A forged 7075 aluminum frame shaves precious ounces off the total weight. At 30.7 ounces, it strikes the perfect balance between lightness and moderating recoil. This sub-2-pound pistol also makes a comfortable choice for all-day concealed carry.

The COMPACT includes user-friendly features, such as a spacious trigger guard, checkered grip, and dust cover with an accessory rail. Thanks to deep-cut front and rear cocking serrations, racking the slide from various positions is easy and intuitive.

Like other competition-ready pistols, the COMPACT’s trigger is tuned for speed and consistency. A 3.4-pound single-action trigger pull and 10.3-pound double-action pull combined with a short (0.14-in) reset allow fast follow-up shots. With its low-profile ambidextrous manual safety and interchangeable low-profile magazine release, Shadow 2 Compact accommodates left—and right-handed shooters.

At the rear of the slide, a built-in optics interface provides a low, stable platform for mounting a red dot sight. Shooters who prefer running the standard sights will appreciate the COMPACT’s high-visibility fiber optic front sight for aiming in all lighting conditions and its height-adjustable rear sight for precision.

The CZ Shadow 2 Compact is the new benchmark in compact pistol performance. Whether for a reliable daily carry pistol or gunning for gold, users love the CZ Shadow 2 Compact.

CZ Shadow 2 Compact Features:

Forged 7075 aluminum frame is compact and durable
Smooth trigger pull and shortened reset
Exceptionally low and secure OR (Optics-Ready) interface
Fiber optic front sight for extreme visibility and increased shooting accuracy
Height adjustable rear sight for easy aiming
Low-profile ambidextrous manual safety
Interchangeable low-profile magazine release button

Magazine Capacity: 15
Weight with empty magazine: 30.7 oz.

Streamlight Unveils TLR RM 1 HL-X Rail-Mounted Light

Posted on Friday, 24 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

STREAMLIGHT^® UNVEILS TLR^® RM 1 HL-X RAIL-MOUNTED LIGHT

Multi-Fuel Long Gun Light Delivers 1,000 Lumens and 22,000 Candela

EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 23, 2024 – Streamlight^® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser devices, introduced the TLR^® RM 1 HL-X tactical weapon light for long guns, featuring up to 1,000 lumens and 22,000 candela for extreme brightness over long distances. The light gives users the choice of using either a cost-saving SL-B9^® USB-C rechargeable battery pack for high-lumen operation or a CR123A lithium battery, and offers both push-button and remote switch operation. It securely attaches to any long gun with MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails.

“The TLR RM 1 HL-X provides long gun users with a super-bright, far-reaching beam using just a single rechargeable battery,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “Law enforcement, military personnel, shooting enthusiasts, and other users will appreciate its concentrated beam when clearing a room, searching an alley, or otherwise lighting their way when a long-distance beam is needed. It also provides both battery and switch options to suit user preferences.”

Run times range from 30 minutes using the SL-B9 battery pack to 90 minutes using a disposable battery.

Packaged as a System, the light features independently operating push-button and remote pressure switches that provide momentary or constant on operation; the kit provides everything users need to mount to long guns. The light is also available in a Light Only model.

Fabricated from 6000 series machined aluminum with a black anodized finish, the TLR RM 1 HL-X has a switch housing made from impact- and chemical-resistant engineered polymer. It weighs 3.12 ounces using an SL-B9 battery, 3.02 ounces with a CR123A battery, and measures 3.64 inches long. It features an IPX7-rated design, making it waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

Jeff Reh Receives the NSSF Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award

Posted on Friday, 24 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

January 23, 2024

Jeff Reh Receives the NSSF Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award

LAS VEGAS — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, today presented its highest honor — the Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award — to Jeff Reh, who served for four decades at Beretta USA Corp. as General Counsel and was as a member of the NSSF Board of Governors for more than 20 years.

Reh was recognized as the recipient of the award at the NSSF Members Meeting during the industry’s annual trade show, the SHOT Show^®.

“Jeff has been a pillar of wise counsel throughout his decades of service at Beretta and NSSF,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “For his leadership and many other contributions to the firearm industry, he is a most worthy recipient of the NSSF Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award. Jeff is a long-time colleague and friend, and it’s an honor to present this award to him.”

The NSSF Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individuals who have distinguished themselves by their long-term commitment to the success of the industry and by their support of NSSF’s mission to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports.

Reh, who retired last year from Beretta USA, served for 22 years on the NSSF Board of Governors, 17 of them as the board’s Co-Vice Chairman. His guidance assisted in the growth and influence of NSSF during his board tenure.

He also served for 23 years on the board of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute^®(SAAMI), including two terms as Chairman. SAAMI is the organization that creates and publishes industry standards for safety, interchangeability, reliability and quality, coordinating technical data and promoting safe and responsible firearms use.

Reh was a leading voice in helping to guide the firearm industry through some of its most challenging times. In the late 1990s, he helped create the Hunting and Shooting Sports Heritage Fund, which raised tens of millions of dollars to successfully fight politically-motivated lawsuits filed against industry by municipalities. This aggressive response to these frivolous lawsuits led to Congress passing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which was signed into law in 2005 by President George W. Bush.

Reh and Beretta also contributed greatly to growing participation in the shooting sports over the years, showing strong support for programs like the NSSF-developed Scholastic Clay Target Program. Today, the scholastic shooting sports are thriving and have tens of thousands of participants nationwide.

In the area of firearm safety, Reh, an avid target shooter and hunter, showed unwavering support for NSSF’s Project ChildSafe^® program and, more recently, its new Gun Storage Check Week^TM campaigns.

Reh was unable to attend the SHOT Show award presentation but received the Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award—a handsome Canada goose mounted on a stylish wood base—late last year in Washington, D.C., from Bartozzi.

The NSSF achievement award’s namesake, Ken Sedlecky, had a long career at Smith & Wesson, was inducted into the National Skeet Shooting Hall of Fame and was known for mentoring new youth and adult target shooters.

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.

CZ Bren 2 Ms Carbine and Pistols-Lightweight and Versatile

Posted on Friday, 24 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

CZ Bren 2 Ms Carbine and Pistols-Lightweight and Versatile

Las Vegas, NV (January 23, 2025) – The CZ Bren 2 Ms semi-automatic platform is an advanced firearm system. CZ redesigned the second-generation Bren from scratch, reducing weight and enhancing ergonomics. Shooters can choose from pistol and carbine models with options to personalize each. The Bren 2 Ms excels at today’s fast-paced shooting sports.

The Bren 2 Ms boasts a lighter construction thanks to an aluminum receiver and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer lower. Its simple design ensures extreme reliability while delivering outstanding accuracy.

Gone is the reciprocating charging handle. Instead, the Bren 2 Ms features one that stays stowed in the forward position until needed. It’s also swappable from side to side and doubles as a forward assist. An AR-style bolt catch/release system is mirrored on both sides of the firearm, and its catch/release is neatly tucked in the front of the trigger guard. The magazine release and safety are also ambidextrous and conveniently positioned.

The Bren 2 Ms Pistol comes in two popular chamberings of 5.56×45 and 7.62×39 and several barrel lengths from 8.3 inches (9.1 inches for 7.62×39) to 14.2 inches. As a pistol, the Bren 2 Ms features a flush rear plate that can attach an AR-style buffer tube to install an arm brace, cheek rest, or other stabilizing device. Conversely, a carbine buffer tube and stock can be installed, or the entire rear plate can be replaced with a factory folding or adjustable stock for those who wish to convert the pistol to a short-barrel rifle (SBR).

Pistols are available 5.56×45 or 7.62×39 with several barrel lengths. Each comes with a 30-round magazine. The ‘Ms’ designation denotes a modular forend that can be matched to the barrel length. CZ’s factory magazines ensure last-round hold-open and consistent feeding for 7.62×39 while, for 5.56×45, the Bren 2 is compatible with aftermarket AR-15 style magazines.

The CZ Bren 2 Ms Carbine is chambered in the popular 5.56×45. Equipped with mechanical sights, a longer 16.5-inch barrel, and a shoulder stock with a raised comb, the Carbine is optimized for accurate shooting at longer distances than the pistol.

The Carbine rifle is based on the select-fire system and operates via a short-stroke gas piston system with a return spring located within the action. Without a buffer tube, it accommodates an adjustable folding stock. Its overall length, at 38.5 inches long, folds down to just 28.3 inches for transport and storage.

CZ’s Bren 2 Ms is a proven performer for the modern shooter. For a lightweight and handy pistol or Carbine, the Bren 2 Ms is a solid choice.

CZ Bren Ms Pistol Features:

Lightweight design – aluminum upper and carbon fiber composite lower
5.56×45 or 7.62×39 chamberings
Non-reciprocating, swappable charging handle
Ambidextrous AR-15 style controls (safety and mag release)

Firearm Industry Inducts Three Standouts into NSSF Hall of Fame

Posted on Friday, 24 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

January 23, 2025

Firearm Industry Inducts Three Standouts into NSSF Hall of Fame

LAS VEGAS — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association^®, today honored three new inductees—Robert Delfay, Richard Hammett and Arthur Wheaton—to its Hall of Fame at the 2025 SHOT Show^®. These career leaders were recognized for accomplishments that have significantly strengthened the firearm industry and expanded the shooting sports, hunting and firearm ownership.

Robert Scott, Chairman of the NSSF Board of Governors, praised the contributions of the three Hall of Fame inductees in remarks made at the annual NSSF Members Meeting at the SHOT Show. SHOT Show is the largest trade show of hunting, shooting, law enforcement and outdoor-related products in the world. More than 2,800 exhibitors are displaying their products and services at the 2025 show.

“On behalf of a grateful industry, it’s my honor to recognize Bob Delfay, Dick Hammett and Art Wheaton for their exemplary careers and their many professional accomplishments. They each played pivotal roles in creating a better future for the firearm industry and popularizing the shooting sports and hunting. They have earned our respect and praise,” said Bartozzi.

The inductees have their images and career highlights displayed in large panels erected in one of the most heavily trafficked corridors of the show. “The contributions of these three inductees are directly linked to the success of this great trade show and its importance to the millions of employees and customers connected to SHOT Show,” said Bartozzi.

The 2025 inductees to the NSSF Hall of Fame are:

Robert Delfay

Bob Delfay served 30 years with NSSF, including the last 10 years as its President and CEO. During his career, he was at the forefront of some of industry’s biggest, most impactful initiatives. These included developing the SHOT Show into the world’s largest trade show of its kind; the creation in 1971 of the first National Hunting and Fishing Day^®, which Congress officially recognized to occur on the fourth Saturday of every September; and the formation of the Hunting and Shooting Sports Heritage Fund that was supported by 200 companies to fight frivolous lawsuits filed by municipalities. In retirement, Delfay didn’t rest as he helped establish a 10-year, $1 million dollar grant program, in partnership with NSSF, to benefit the future of hunting and conservation.

Richard Hammett

Dick Hammett spent 42 years with Olin Corporation in finance, marketing and senior management roles. He was President of the Winchester Division from 2002 until his retirement in 2011. Hammett was both a passionate sportsman and industry leader, having served on the Board of Governors for both NSSF and the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute^®. Hammett was an ardent champion and supporter of youth shooting sports programs, including 4-H, the Youth Shooting Sports Alliance and the Scholastic Clay Target Program, and he was an advisory board member for Kids and Clays, an organization that raises money for Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Arthur Wheaton

The Chairman of NSSF’s Board of Governors from 2002 to 2007, Art Wheaton has maintained a focus throughout his life on conservation, hunting and the responsible use of firearms. He spent more than four decades with Remington Arms Company, starting as a junior engineer and eventually retiring as Vice President General Manager Worldwide Sales in 2001. NSSF launched major programs during Wheaton’s tenure as Chairman, including Families Afield, Hunting Heritage Partnership and First Shots^®. Wheaton supported NSSF’s expansion of retailer-focused services, and he championed the growth of NSSF’s fledgling Scholastic Clay Target Program, which today has more than 21,000 high school athletes participating in 47 states.

“The NSSF Hall of Fame and its remarkable inductees remind us of the pride we take in our industry and in the firearm-owning community and what our leaders then and now stand for—the freedom to make, own and use firearms responsibly in America,” said Bartozzi.

NSSF announced the Hall of Fame and inducted an inaugural class during the 2020 SHOT Show. All Hall of Fame inductees can be seen at NSSF.org/HallofFame.

ASA Supports Reintroduction of the PARTS Act to Clarify Suppressor Definitions

Posted on Friday, 24 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

ASA Supports Reintroduction of the PARTS Act to Clarify Suppressor Definitions

January 22, 2025

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the American Suppressor Association (ASA) issued a statement of support for the reintroduction of the Protecting Americans’ Right to Silence (PARTS) Act for the 119th Congress. The bill, co-sponsored by U.S. Representatives August Pfluger (R-Texas) and Jared Golden (D-Maine), is a bipartisan proposal aimed at reforming the outdated definition of “firearm silencer” under the Gun Control Act.

“Americans should not be subject to onerous and complicated bureaucracy to safely exercise their rights. Our laws must provide greater clarity to consumers, manufacturers, and retailers of firearm suppressors,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association. “The PARTS Act will reduce regulatory ambiguity and will better align federal law with current technology. On behalf of the suppressor community, the American Suppressor Association applauds Representatives Pfluger, Golden, and their colleagues for their leadership and is proud to support this legislation that will benefit the suppressor industry and all law-abiding gun owners.”

The PARTS Act is co-sponsored by Ben Cline (Va.-06), Michael Rulli (Ohio-33), Mike Ezell (Miss.-04), Claudia Tenney (N.Y.-24), Jack Bergman (Mich.-01), Brian Babin (Texas-36), Riley Moore (W.Va.-02), and Mike Collins (Ga.-10).

Background

The PARTS Act refines the definition of a suppressor, narrowing it to cover complete devices or a single essential component, such as a frame or receiver. This shift eliminates the ambiguity of broader terms that have been used in the past, such as “combination of parts,” which has led to regulatory confusion.
The PARTS Act eliminates unnecessary paperwork that the ATF requires upon the purchase of consumable suppressor parts, such as wipes. This would be similar to the process during the purchase of other non-serialized firearm components. The PARTS Act will ensure greater access to these parts for legal suppressor owners.
The bill also addresses and heads off regulatory concerns that were raised in an open letter to the ATF in November 2023, to prevent plans to classify certain suppressor parts as regulated suppressors.
As suppressor wait times reach historic lows, the PARTS Act will better ensure that the growing popularity of suppressed shooting remains accessible and protected under clear, common-sense regulations.
This legislation intends to protect access to the market for everyday people while avoiding the regulatory reversals which have historically hurt consumers across industries.

About The American Suppressor Association

The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is the unified voice of the suppressor community. We exist for one reason and one reason only: to fight for pro-suppressor reform nationwide.

The ability of the American Suppressor Association to fight for pro-suppressor reform is tied directly to our ability to fundraise. Since the ASA’s formation in 2011, we have helped 3 states legalize suppressor ownership, 19 states legalize suppressor hunting, and defeated attempts to ban suppressors in 2 states. This would not have happened without your support. Join us in the fight to help protect and expand your right to own and use suppressors by becoming an ASA Member at www.ASAMember.com.

ESCORT Shotguns Branches Out – Releasing an All-New Bolt Action Hunting Rifle – The ERX

Posted on Friday, 24 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

ESCORT Shotguns Branches Out – Releasing an All-New Bolt Action Hunting Rifle – The ERX

Rogers, AR (January 21, 2025) – New for 2025, ESCORT Shotguns releases the ERX Series of bolt action rifles. The ERX is modeled with REM700 action, trigger, magazine, and optic footprints for ease of parts compatibility, and customization. Chambered in .308 WIN or .30-06 SPRG, the ERX provides the accuracy and modularity expected in modern designs with integrated features unheard of in most modern hunting rifles.

The .308 is available in an 18.5-inch barrel, while the .30-06 is offered in either 20 or 24 inches. Both calibers offer a 1:10 twist rate. The 4140 CRMO steel barrel is button rifled, and gas nitride treated with black chrome plating for superior protection and durability. It is then completed with 5/8”-24 threads with an included muzzle brake. The AICS compatible magazine fed rifle adds new options to level up available bolt action rifles. The thumb paddle magazine release at the front of the metal trigger guard makes reloading quick and easy. Safety is a standard and easy to use safety switch that takes guesswork out of safe operation. The bolt release is conveniently located opposite the safety switch on the left side of the receiver.

Based on the REM700 action footprint, internals are standard with 4140 CRMO steel recessed bolt construction. However, an M16 style extractor is incorporated into the design, enhancing the ERX features even further. 6-48 drilled and tapped screw holes allow for ease of mounting REM700 optic footprint options.

ERX Series Rifles are suitable for all weather conditions. The action is placed in a synthetic stock packed with features. QD sling mounts and sling studs are integrated into the front and rear of the stock, offering various carry options. Likewise, expert control is provided with an inlaid soft rubber grip and forearm sections. An adjustable elevation cheek rest makes optics choices straightforward as users can adjust their shooting position based on the optic and not be limited by specific optics choices. The rear of the stock is equipped with an adjustable length of pull by use of the included 3 – 10mm spacers for a custom fit. The stock is then capped with a soft rubber butt pad designed to efficiently reduce felt recoil.

Attachments and accessories are easily fitted to the ERX Series Rifles with an integrated Picatinny accessory rail at the front of the stock under the barrel. By incorporating the rail, adjustable cheek rest, metal trigger guard, and REM700 spec footprints, users can outfit their ERX Rifle for specific needs or hunting requirements.

ESCORT Shotguns is excited to bring the ERX Bolt Action Series to the market loaded with features at an affordable price.

The precision rifled and choked German steel barrel guarantees exceptional accuracy, while the 1/2″ UNF threaded muzzle provides the versatility to attach suppressors or other muzzle accessories.

An aluminum receiver with an integrated optics rail provides a stable foundation for optics, and the elevation adjustable cheek rest and pistol grip ensure comfort and precision in every shot.

Designed for maximum customization and comfort, the rifle features a 3-way adjustable side-folding aluminum stock, with the option for an additional competition butt plate accessory. The stock also includes two slots for spare magazines, ensuring shooters are always prepared. For added versatility, the rifle is equipped with three accessory rails beneath the forearm and on the sides, for mounting a variety of accessories.

The internal geometry reduces gas blowback, keeping the shooter’s face out of irritating gases and minimizing fouling in the firearm.

The direct-thread SURG556 is shielded by a detachable titanium hexagonal heat shield that lowers the suppressor’s thermal signature while increasing maneuverability. The heat shield reduces the likelihood of contact burns when in dynamic situations.

Designed for strength and durability, the SURG556 is full auto rated, and purpose built to handle the rigors of machine gun fire while providing maximum signature reduction.

Verified, proven and selected by SOCOM, the SURG556 is now available to consumers who want nothing but the best.

Key Features:

• Mission-Tested High Flow Suppressor

• Detachable Titanium Hexagonal Heat Shield

• Forward-Flux Technology

• Monolithic Core Construction

• Integrated Flash Hider

• Direct Thread 5.56 NATO

• High Temperature Cerakote

• Inconel Steel

Posted on Thursday, 23 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

STREAMLIGHT^® INTRODUCES MEGASTREAM^® USB FLASHLIGHT

Lightweight, Ultra-Bright EDC Light Delivers Powerful Performance

EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 22, 2024 – Streamlight^®, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting, launched the MegaStream^® USB, a compact USB-C rechargeable flashlight that delivers amazing brightness for a light its size. Designed for professionals and consumers alike, it combines an impressive 1,800 lumens, 26,000 candela, and a two-hour run time on high.

“The MegaStream USB is built for those who demand high-performance lighting in a compact, everyday carry package,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight Chief Revenue Officer. “It provides intense brightness with long distance reach, extraordinary run time, as well as convenient USB-C charging. It’s an ideal light for first responders, outdoor enthusiasts, professional users, and others who need a durable, extremely bright pocket light.”

Measuring just 5.3 inches long and weighing only 5.4 ounces, the MegaStream USB features three output modes: High (1,800 lumens, 26,000 candela, 322-meter beam distance), Medium (500 lumens, 7,200 candela, 170-meter beam distance), and Low (150 lumens, 2,100 candela, 92-meter beam distance). Run times range from 13 hours on the Low setting to two hours on High.

The new light is powered by a 3,500mAh Streamlight SL-B34^® lithium-ion battery pack, which can be charged inside or outside of the flashlight. A push-button tail cap switch allows for momentary or constant operation, and a sliding head cover protects the USB-C charging port.

Constructed from machined aluminum alloy with a Type II MIL-Spec anodized finish, the MegaStream USB is built to withstand tough conditions. It features an unbreakable polycarbonate lens, is IPX7-rated waterproof to one meter for 30 minutes, and is 2-meter impact resistance tested.
