NSSF Throws Support Behind Sen. Bill Hagerty’s Effort to Block Abusive BIS Rule

Posted on Thursday, 2 May, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

NSSF Throws Support Behind Sen. Bill Hagerty’s Effort to Block Abusive BIS Rule



WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, fully supports the effort led by U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) to block the Interim Final Rule published by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) that would throttle exports of U.S. firearms, ammunition and optics. Sen. Hagerty announced plans to introduce a Congressional Review Act (CRA) Resolution of Disapproval to block the Interim Final Rule from taking effect. The CRA has 10 Senate co-sponsors and more are expected to support the effort to block the politically-motivated effort by the Biden administration to punish the firearm and ammunition industry.

“The Biden administration has shown their cards and there is not a sleight-of-hand they won’t play to advance their anti-gun agenda,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “President Joe Biden’s hostility against Second Amendment rights and our industry clearly shows no bounds and he’s used every governmental lever to crank up punishing restrictions that will have no bearing on improving national security or crime reduction. This administration is interested in one thing only – decimating the industry that provides the means for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights. NSSF commends Senator Bill Hagerty for leading the opposition to block this heavy-handed and naked political abuse of executive authority.”

The Interim Final Rule was the result of BIS re-examining firearm export licenses supposedly in light of national security concerns. That reasoning, however, rings hollow. According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), only about 1 percent of legally exported firearms are recovered abroad at crime scenes and traced.

The BIS Interim Final Rule would make permanent export freezes sought by the Biden administration when it first announced on Oct. 27, 2023, a “90-day pause” to examine firearm export policy. The pause, which lasted over 180 days, was clearly an attempt to undermine the Export Control Reforms for firearm and ammunition exports that were initiated by the Obama-Biden administration and completed by the Trump administration. The total economic impact of the Interim Final Rule easily exceeds $250 million to U.S. manufacturers and exporters, far above the farcically low estimates BIS has been telling NSSF and the Hill. In addition, BIS will now require export licenses for sporting shotguns and optics to be exported to close allies when for over 30 years, these items could be exported to allied nations without an export license.

Under the Interim Final Rule, firearm export licenses will be reduced from a four-year lifespan to just one year. There will be four new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) for semiautomatic rifles, pistols, shotguns and certain parts, components and accessories. Licenses will be approved on a case-by-case basis that will consider foreign policy, national security risk factors, government corruption, diversion of firearms and human rights abuses among other criteria. BIS is stating there will be a presumption of denial for firearm export licenses to those countries arbitrarily identified by the State Department as “at risk,” which includes 36 countries – mostly in Latin America, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia.

All existing previously approved firearm export licenses to so-called “high risk” countries will be revoked 60 days after the Interim Final Rule was published on April 30, 2024. Those U.S. companies with existing firearm export licenses may be required to re-apply for new licenses. The public comment period will remain open until July 1. NSSF is considering its legal options and will simultaneously submit written comments demonstrating the true economic impact and the harm to American businesses, jobs and local economies wrought by this politically-driven policy change.

The Interim Final Rule is open for public comment and NSSF urges all who are frustrated with the abusive Biden administration anti-gun agenda to comment here.

NSSF Applauds U.S. House Passage of Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act

Posted on Thursday, 2 May, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

NSSF Applauds U.S. House Passage of Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act



WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for the bipartisan approval of the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act, H.R. 615, introduced by U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.). This crucial legislation would ensure our nation’s number one resource of conservation funding remains in place and that hunters, recreational shooters and anglers throughout the nation can continue to enjoy America’s sporting heritage.

“This legislation is tremendously important to protect the primary funding for wildlife conservation in America,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Firearm and ammunition manufacturers have paid over $27 billion, when adjusted for inflation, since 1937 and that has been the leading funding source of wildlife and habitat conservation in America. Efforts by bureaucrats to limit or eliminate the use of traditional lead ammunition and fishing tackle puts those conservation funds at serious risk by increasing costs and creating barriers to participation in outdoor recreation. The bipartisan passage of the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act by the House of Representatives is a significant step to protecting wildlife conservation and preserving access to our public lands.”

This NSSF-supported legislation would require the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to provide site-specific peer-reviewed scientific data that demonstrates traditional lead ammunition or fishing tackle is causing detrimental wildlife population impacts before prohibiting their use by hunters and anglers. The bill is in response to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) pulling a bait-and-switch that put hunters and anglers in a bind last year by opening up more National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) for hunting and fishing while at the same time outlawing the use of traditional lead ammunition and fishing tackle.

The final rule was part of a “sue and settle” litigation between the Center for Biological Diversity and the USFWS and was implemented without scientific evidence or consultation of state agencies.

Requiring the use of alternative ammunition would put a significant cost barrier to participation in hunting and fishing on lands. Alternative ammunition is, on average, 25 percent more expensive than traditional lead ammunition and less available. That barrier would “price out” many hunters and anglers and decrease the excise tax funding paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers they support.

“As a lifelong hunter and recreational fisherman, I was appalled by the Biden administration’s effort to restrict access for our nation’s sportsmen and women who use traditional lead fishing tackle and ammunition on federal lands and waters,” Rep. Wittman said in a press release. “Effective environmental stewardship and wildlife conservation rely on the valuable contributions of our hunters and anglers, and affordable lead ammunition and tackle are crucial to reducing financial barriers that limit accessibility for sportsmen and women. I’m pleased to see this critical piece of legislation pass the House, and I urge my colleagues in the Senate to take up this bill and send it to the president’s desk.”

Nampa, Idaho (April 2024) – Caracal USA, a leading US Based manufacturer of small arms for the law enforcement and defense markets, is thrilled to announce the release of its latest video showcasing the unparalleled durability and reliability of the Caracal USA Enhanced F Pistol.

Titled “Enhanced F Pistol – Torture Testing,” this riveting video takes viewers on a journey through extreme conditions to demonstrate the unmatched resilience of the Enhance F Pistol.

AG Composites Offers Customizations Vital for Achieving Optimum Accuracy

OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala.  (April 30, 2024) — The best rifle shooters in the world all employ rifle stocks that have been custom-built to their exact specifications and personal preferences. This is true for both competition shooters and military snipers, who can’t afford to miss when the chips are down. AG Composites allows you to design your own custom rifle stock that will be built to your own personal specs using the world’s most advanced materials and manufacturing processes.

“Replacing a factory rifle stock with a custom stock from AG Composites is a quick, easy way to increase the accuracy potential of both rifle and shooter,” said Matt Tandy, AG Composites owner. “And the advantages of a custom stock are many. The shooter’s job is to precisely place a bullet, often at substantial distance, often in bad weather, and often from a less-than-perfect rest. A custom rifle stock provides the foundation with which you can consistently achieve that goal. It also is a reflection of an individual’s personal standards and characteristics, both aesthetically and physically.”
While factory stocks come in a one-size-fits-all configuration, custom stocks often feature adjustable cheek pieces and butt systems, ergonomic grips, upgraded recoil pads, and a design that actually helps reduce felt recoil despite shaving weight off a standard stock design when using high-quality carbon fiber or fiberglass materials instead of traditional wood. This custom-fit is critical in achieving consistent accuracy. In addition, a custom rifle stock will solidly bed the action and bottom metal while precisely free-floating the barrel regardless of barrel contour, another accuracy key.
“AG Composites uses modern design software from Solidworks and AutoDesk to create Computer Aided Design (CAD) models of every carbon fiber and fiberglass stock we manufacture,” Tandy said. “AG Composites’ design engineers bring their aerospace industry CAD modeling experience to every stock design project. In addition, we use only the highest-quality carbon fiber, epoxy, and paint products to manufacture our premium line of composite rifle stocks. And, our proprietary manufacturing process is the ‘secret sauce’ behind our ability to produce best-in-class stocks with delivery times that are a fraction of our competitors. Consistency, efficiency, cost control, and frequent quality control checks are the primary drivers of each step of our manufacturing process. We aim to give our customers outstanding value and superior performance and be the best in the business.”

GA-ASI DELIVERS FIRST MQ-9A EXTENDED RANGE TO USMC’S VMUT-2

SAN DIEGO – 30 April 2024 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) celebrated the delivery of the first MQ-9A Extended Range (ER) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Training Squadron 2 (VMUT-2).

Bond Arms® Grizzly Compact Double Barrel Handgun & Holster

Posted on Wednesday, 1 May, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

Bond Arms® Grizzly Compact Double Barrel Handgun & Holster – A Classic EDC Item

Granbury, TX (April 30, 2024) – The Grizzly Bear embodies the North American Wilderness’s power, strength and soul. It may not be the largest animal to roam the Americas, but it ranks among the fiercest and strongest encounters in the wild. Like the Bond Arms’ Grizzly, size does not always determine overall power.

The Grizzly set, consisting of the Grizzly derringer and a leather holster, represents one of Bond Arms’ most iconic designs. It features a 3-inch barrel chambered in 45 Colt/410 and boasts an extended rosewood grip that allows for a full hand grip. The Grizzly, like all Bond derringers, has a two-shot capacity, bladed front sights and fixed rear sights. Its short barrel makes it easy to carry and is ideal for short-range defense.

The holster that comes standard with the Grizzly, also available separately, is crafted from leather and accommodates any of the Bond 3-inch pistols. It’s the perfect size for an inside-the-waist or pocket holster, featuring a bear silhouette stamp on the side and securing the pistol with a hammer loop. It comes in both right and left-hand draw options with brown or black finishes.

In terms of design, Bond produces a wide range of derringers and pistols known for their exceptional quality and features. The stainless barrel and frame are durable and compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels. Additional safety features include a crossbar safety for enhanced handling control and a patented rebounding hammer that ensures efficient and consistent firing of various manufacturer ammunition. The spring-loaded, cammed locking lever facilitates efficient and fast loading.



The Grizzly can meet all needs, whether for wilderness protection or urban safety. It can fire both 45 Colt and 410, allowing one to load anemic 45 Colt rounds for target practice or carry full-power 45 Colt loads and 410 for defensive purposes. The current MSRP for the Grizzly is $377.

To learn more about the Grizzly, please visit: https://www.bondarms.com/Grizzly-P8522.aspx

Grizzly Features:

  • Grip Material – Rosewood
  • Grip Size – Extended
  • Sights – Front blade, fixed rear
  • Trigger guard – Yes

Grizzly Specs:

  • Model # – BAGR
  • MSRP – $377.00
  • Caliber – .45LC / .410
  • Barrel Length – 3-in.
  • Length – 5-in.
  • Weight – 20 oz.

Grizzly Holster:

Included with the Grizzly compact handgun is the namesake Grizzly holster. The smooth-lined, outfacing rough leather rig is embossed with the iconic North American grizzly bear. Built with the same durability and longevity as the Grizzly, the matching holster brings an extremely cool factor to the handgun. 

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas, and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.

MAGPUL JOINS SAF AS PLATINUM CORPORATE PARTNER

BELLEVUE, WA – April 30, 2024 – The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is pleased to announce that Magpul has joined the organization as a corporate partner at the Platinum level.

“Magpul is excited to support the efforts of the Second Amendment Foundation in defending our Second Amendment rights throughout our personal and professional lives,” said Magpul Executive Vice President Duane Liptak. “Their work is vital to the continued existence of a lifestyle that includes the absolute right to own and bear arms.”

Magpul was founded in 1999 with the concept of developing an easy-to-use product to solve the handling and speed problems associated with handling rifle magazines under stress. The company name comes from this original product, the Magpul. This simple innovation – and the mindset of problem-solving through better design, materials, and user experience – led to others that redefined the experience customers had with their firearms. More than two decades later, Magpul has grown significantly, but still follows the same mission and processes, focusing on innovation, simplicity and efficiency.

Their product lines now include hundreds of firearms accessories, along with other experience-enhancing gear, and all have been designed to professional-use standards. Magpul now makes more than 400 unique products with hundreds of variants, including magazines, stocks, slings, sights, grips, bipods, rifle cases and other organization and storage solutions, eyewear, and a lot more dependable, hard-use gear.

“Magpul has been a staunch SAF corporate partner, and we greatly appreciate their decision to increase their commitment to help us continue to defend, secure and restore our Second Amendment freedoms,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “With five active challenges to magazine capacity restrictions, Magpul recognizes the importance of supporting our legal efforts to ensure that its customers, and all Americans, are able to exercise their right to keep and bear arms, regardless of where they are located. We are grateful for their support.”

Hobie® Eyewear: Seeing The World Through A Clear Lens

Hobie® Eyewear: Seeing The World Through A Clear Lens

Oceanside, CA (April 30, 2024) – As the sun rises over tranquil waters, professional angler Kristine Fischer stands poised at the forefront of competitive tournament fishing, a trailblazer in a traditionally male-dominated sport. With unparalleled skill and determination, Fischer embodies the spirit of ambitious women who are rewriting the narrative in the angling world. And at her side, aiding her in every cast and catch, is Hobie® Eyewear, the brand that equips Fischer and others like her with the tools they need to excel on the water and beyond.

Fischer, renowned for her prowess on the tournament circuit, attests, “Hobie® Eyewear gives me an advantage on the water for various reasons. One is their lens offerings. The Sightmaster™ Plus lens helps brighten everything up and gives me eyes underwater.”

Kristine’s favorite styles include the Monarch Float, Everglades Float, Coastal Float, Woody Sport, and Monica, each meticulously crafted to deliver optimal performance in diverse conditions.

Monarch Float – Satin Black Frame

Copper Lens w/ Sea Green Mirror

Everglades Float – Satin Black Frame

Sightmaster™ Plus Lens

Coastal Float – Satin White Frame

Grey Lens w/ Cobalt Blue Mirror

Woody Sport – Satin Crystal Frame

Copper Lens w/ Sea Green Mirror

Monica – Shiny Woodgrain/Aqua Fade Frame

Grey Lens w/ Pink Mirror

One of the standout features of Hobie® Eyewear is its lightweight design. Kristine explains, “The biggest thing I’ve noticed with Hobie Eyewear is the frame’s weight. I love how lightweight they are, and they’re so comfortable.”

Moreover, Hobie® Eyewear understands the importance of durability and practicality, especially for those who spend extended hours on the water. “Having a pair of shades that float is important,” Kristine emphasizes. “Especially, I think, in the kayak because I’m so close to the water. Hobie Eyewear has frames that float, so I know that I’ve got that security in my sunglasses when I’m myself and a complete hot mess on the kayak sometimes, that at least I’m not going to lose my sunglasses.”

Furthermore, Hobie® Eyewear remains committed to accessibility, offering high-quality eyewear at affordable prices. “Hobie Eyewear is good for your average angler as well because of how economically friendly they are,” Kristine highlights. “You can get into a good pair of glasses with great quality for less than a hundred dollars.”

Posted on Wednesday, 1 May, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

Walk the Talk America Launches $100K Fundraiser by Top Shot Season Four Champion Chris Cheng

Cheng has issued a challenge to the gun community to raise $100K for Walk the Talk America from May 1 – 8, 2024 in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.

Las Vegas, Nev. (May 2024) – In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness Month, Walk The Talk America (WTTA), a non-profit organization bridging the gap between mental health and responsible firearm ownership, proudly announces a special fundraiser by Top Shot Season 4 Champion Chris Cheng to raise $100,000. The challenge lasts from May 1 – 8, 2024. Cheng is kicking things off by personally donating $5,000, which will be used to match smaller donations of $500 or less. WTTA and Cheng invite the firearms industry to participate in this high-impact, game-changing fundraiser. Donations can be made via https://www.WTTA.org/Fundraiser.

“Many of us gun owners believe that a key approach to reducing gun violence in our country is to focus on mental health. Walk the Talk America connects gun owners to mental health services, and also educates mental health practitioners to understand the sensitivity surrounding our Second Amendment right, and that fear of losing that right is often a barrier to mental health services,” noted Cheng. “Walk the Talk America is helping increase access to mental health services, and I strongly believe that the money we raise this May for Mental Health Awareness Month will make our country stronger and safer.”

Michael Sodini, founder and CEO of WTTA, elaborated “Here at Walk the Talk America, we’re passionate about fostering understanding and taking meaningful steps toward better mental health and responsible firearm ownership. This May, our fundraiser isn’t just about dollars raised—it’s about coming together with Chris and our firearms community to make a tangible difference. By joining forces, we’re not only raising funds but also spreading awareness and building a stronger, safer future for all.”

Walk the Talk America is a non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to bridging the gap between mental health and responsible gun ownership. Its mission is to enhance the perception of mental health among gun owners while elevating the standard of mental health care within this community. Walk the Talk America is uniquely positioned as an organization that integrates the wisdom of gun-owning mental health professionals, offering innovative solutions derived from real-world experiences.

The event, held on April 13, 2024, at the Factory at Franklin, is a celebration and recognition of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and an ongoing commitment to preserving the hunting and fishing heritage for future generations of Tennesseans. Participating hunters were paired with an experienced guide and allowed to hunt on premium properties in an attempt to harvest an opening-day gobbler. After the hunt, the One Shot Banquet was held which included a live auction for hunting experiences, high-end guns, and historical pieces.

RETAY USA has donated an exclusive shotgun for the previous two years. This year, the donation was a set of RETAY Antalya custom shotguns; an SS Jet Black with a sleek polished black receiver and an SS Elegant with a coin anodized finish adorned with an intricate scroll engraving. These exclusive and limited-edition shotguns featured the Tennessee Tri-Star engraved on the receivers. The retail value of the set was $5,700.00.

“The Tennessee Governor’s One Shot Hunt and Banquet is an important event honoring our sporting heritage in Tennessee, and recognizing the ongoing efforts of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency in preserving our natural resources, and cultivating our abundant wildlife,” Christian Handy, CEO of Banshee Brands, explained. “We are honored to participate, and happy to donate these beautiful shotguns to raise money during the One Shot event for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.”

NEW PRODUCT! Galco’s Stow-N-Go Elite IWB Holster!

Posted on Tuesday, 30 April, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

Introducing Galco’s Stow-N-Go Elite IWB Holster!

April 2024

Galco’s original Stow-N-Go™ IWB quickly became a best-seller upon its introduction. We’ve used the popular design as the basis for the Stow-N-Go Elite – part of our Masterbilt™ holster series – to create the ultimate version, featuring ultra-premium materials and construction methods, resulting in an ideal professional-grade inside-the-waistband holster.

The Masterbilt holster series combines our finest-quality premium leathers with the skills of our most experienced craftsmen. The Masterbilt series is the pinnacle of leather holster construction, unrivaled by anything on the market. Masterbilt holsters get their final drying on a last, a solid form around which the holster is dried. They’re ready to go – right from Galco – with little or no break-in required. With detailed hand molding and full-grain leather lining, Masterbilt holsters are not only beautiful, but supremely functional.

Constructed of our finest, fully-lined premium steerhide, the Stow-N-Go Elite features detailed hand-molding for both secure retention and a beautiful appearance. The smooth leather lining provides increased tactile feedback on the draw while easing wear on handgun finishes. The refinement of leather lining is not only practical – it also enhances the overall look and feel of a hand-crafted premium holster.

The open top design allows an easy draw, while the firm, lined construction keeps the holster open for smooth return to the holster. The vertical orientation gives the option of strong side or appendix carry to meet the needs of a broad range of gun carriers.

The smooth exterior allows easy repositioning of the holster as needed – for example, quickly switching from strongside carry to the appendix position. The sturdy polymer belt clip secures firmly to belt or pants, using a claw shape to prevent unintentional removal.

Available in black or tan, the Stow-N-Go Elite fits belts up to 1 3/4”.

NSSF Project ChildSafe Program Celebrates 25 Years; Announces $250,000 Fundraising Goal for Firearm Safety

NSSF Project ChildSafe Program Celebrates 25 Years; Announces $250,000 Fundraising Goal for Firearm Safety

Project ChildSafe 25 Anniversary

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This year marks the 25-year anniversary of Project ChildSafe®, the firearm safety and education program of NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association. Since its inception, Project ChildSafe has raised awareness about safely handling and securely storing firearms when not in use, along with educating children about firearm safety.

As part of recognizing this milestone, NSSF aims to raise $250,000 over the next year to provide more free gun locks and educational materials to gun owners across the country.

Started in 1999, Project ChildSafe began in just five cities in the U.S. and has grown to serve all 50 states and the five U.S. territories. To date, Project ChildSafe has distributed more than 41 million safety kits, which include a cable-style gun-locking device and educational brochures available at no cost to gun owners. The firearm safety kits are distributed through partnerships with more than 15,000 local law enforcement agencies and 13,000 organizational partners.

“For 25 years, Project ChildSafe has operated on both the national and local levels to provide genuine firearm safety solutions to communities that need them most,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “Since its launch, fatal firearm accidents have dropped to historic lows. The program also aims to prevent firearm thefts and suicide.”

“Prevention can be challenging to measure, but over the years we’ve heard stories firsthand of how our safety kits have saved lives by preventing accidents and suicides,” said Bill Brassard, NSSF’s Senior Communications Director. “Project ChildSafe continues to evolve and expand its resources, adding materials on mental health, suicide prevention and assisting parents with having conversations about gun safety with their children.”

To commemorate this exciting milestone in Project ChildSafe’s history, NSSF has set a new goal to raise $250,000 in funding for the program over the next year, which will support the development and availability of new educational resources, gun locks and city-level firearm safety coalitions in communities with particularly high rates of firearm-related accidents and suicides.

Individual supporters and organizations are invited to donate to Project ChildSafe. Project ChildSafe is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization, and all donations to the organization are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

To donate, go to projectchildsafe.org/donate/25th-anniversary.



About Project ChildSafe

NSSF, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, launched Project ChildSafe in 1999 (originally as Project HomeSafe). Since 1999, the program has provided more than 41 million free firearm safety kits and gun locks to firearm owners in all 50 states through partnerships with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. That’s in addition to the more than 70 million free locking devices manufacturers have included, and continue to include, with new firearms sold since 1998. While helping to prevent accidents among children is a focus, Project ChildSafe is intended to help adults practice greater firearm safety in the home. More information is available at projectchildsafe.org.

Popticals® Ops Edition Launched, Introducing POPZULU Ballistic Glasses & Safety Eyewear

Breakthrough Ballistics Eyewear Set for Big Reveal at Upcoming NRA Meetings & Exhibits

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (Tuesday, April 26, 2024) – Popticals®, an emerging premium eyewear brand, is pleased to announce the launch of POPZULU, an Ops Edition ballistics eyewear providing the ultimate ally in tactical and industrial eye protection.

Step into the field with POPZULU, a cutting-edge triumph in ballistic eyewear engineered for the most demanding environments. Whether you are at the shooting range or on the front lines of workplace safety, POPZULU offers full-scale defense with lenses engineered to shield and a frame designed to tuck away into the pocket-sized fortitude of its hard-shell case.

NRA ANNUAL MEETING PREMIERE

Popticals will officially unveil their POPZULU sunglasses, and their full line of adventure eyewear built for outdoor enthusiasts during the upcoming 153rd NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas, May 17-19. Among the more than 14 acres of guns and gear, Popticals will display their new POPZULU ballistic eyewear out of Booth 7239. The three-day event will include opportunities to interact and engage with 70,000-plus potential customers, all active in outdoor and shooting sports with an eye for performance and reliability in their shooting essentials.

All POPZULU ballistic sunglasses incorporate the same innovative frame design and manufacturing found in other leading POPTICALS styles, and the patented FL2 Micro-Rail System™ technology that provides one-of-a-kind collapsibility for easy and secure portability when not in use.

POPZULU ballistic sunglasses are crafted using the finest materials including: 

● Hydrophobic Ri-Pel® Coating to repel water, oil & dust

● Complete UV Protection filtering out 100% of harmful UV rays

● Grilamid® TR90 Material to create frames that are lightweight, flexible, and highly durable

POPZULU ballistic sunglasses undergo rigorous testing to meet stringent safety standards, including ANSI Z87.1+ and MIL-PRF-32432. The lenses are crafted using the innovative Impacto lenses from Carl Zeiss Vision, proven to significantly enhance clarity and be 5X more resistant to hits and stresses than polycarbonate alternatives.  A premium hard coating is added to provide excellent scratch resistance and enhance the durability of the lenses.

The sunglasses feature ultra-lightweight frames, which minimize fatigue even during long shooting sessions. They are designed to fit comfortably, with an adjustable nose piece and strap, ensuring a secure fit for every action-packed moment on different face shapes and sizes.

POPZULU isn’t just eyewear; it’s a tactical gear essential. With lenses rated for ballistic impact and a collapsible design exclusive to Popticals, you’re investing in vision protection that is designed to perform under pressure. Whether you’re at the shooting range or navigating the complexities of industrial safety, POPZULU stands as your visual guardian.

“At Popticals, we embrace an adventurous lifestyle and aim to create sunglasses that can be a functional accessory for everywhere you go,” said Gary DiSalvo, owner and CEO of Popticals. “Creating ballistic and safety eyewear that caters to the specific needs of all shooting sports enthusiasts and workplace safety is the next evolutional breakthrough of Popticals as a premium eyewear provider. The unmatched versatility, durability, aesthetics, style, adaptations, and protection found in POPZULU ballistic eyewear ensures you’ll see your target clearer than ever and experience vision without boundaries.”

The new POPZULU ballistic shooting sunglasses are available in three lens colors (gray, clear, and orange) to suit different light conditions, preferences, and personal styles. Featuring patented Popticals technology, ballistic-grade protection, customizable comfort, and workplace safety compliance, POPZULU eyewear has been meticulously engineered to offer the perfect balance of safety and innovation.
