Adept Armor Releases Jaw-Dropping Video: “NovaSteel Helmet Endurance Test vs. 357 Magnum”![]()
New video showcases the remarkable durability and resilience of the Adept Armor NovaSteel ACH-style helmet when subjected to rigorous testing against a .357 Magnum revolver.
Tulsa, Okla. (April 2024) – Adept Armor, the most innovative company in leading performance body armor, announces the release of its latest video demonstration: “NovaSteel Helmet Endurance Test vs. 357 Magnum.” This video showcases the remarkable durability and resilience of the Adept Armor NovaSteel ACH-style helmet when subjected to rigorous testing against a .357 Magnum revolver firing FPJ ammo from PPU. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/E26Bi9kAeoE?si=s85zu0gEYIqHBFmb.
In this groundbreaking demonstration, viewers will witness the comparative performance of three helmets:
1. Czech M53: The video reveals the rapid penetration of the Czech M53 helmet, exposing the vulnerabilities inherent in 20th-century steel helmets.
2. Police Surplus Helmets (rated IIIA): Despite its purported rating, the police surplus helmet exhibited severe degradation and extreme localized deformation under the impact of the .357 Magnum rounds.
3. NovaSteel ACH-style Helmet (rated VPAM-3 + special threats): The NovaSteel helmet emerged as the undisputed champion, enduring more than two dozen shots with remarkable fortitude. Despite relentless assault, the NovaSteel helmet resisted penetration, exhibited minimal shell deformation, and maintained its padding integrity. The test was only halted when the retention system reached its limit, a testament to the helmet’s exceptional durability.
“We couldn’t be prouder of the performance demonstrated by the NovaSteel ACH-style helmet in this rigorous test,” commented Jake Ganor, founder of Adept Armor. “The video underscores our commitment to providing high-quality protective gear that exceeds industry standards and offers unparalleled protection to our customers.”
To witness the incredible resilience of the NovaSteel helmet firsthand, watch the full video on Adept Armor’s official YouTube channel.

Galco’s Combat Master Belt Holster
Now Available for Medium-Frame 4.25″ Revolvers!
April 2024
Galco’s Combat Master™ is a professional-grade belt holster hand-molded by Galco’s experienced craftsmen to fit specific handguns. This 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’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 under even light clothing. It also 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 one of the longest-lasting holsters money can buy.
Lastly, the Combat Master’s twin belt slots fit belts up to 1 ¾” wide, so it blends perfectly with current clothing styles. And blending in is the name of the game when we’re talking about concealed carry!

Float Your Way To Better Scores with Hobie® Eyewear

Snook Float by Hobie Eyewear
Oceanside, CA (April 16, 2024)—“Bloop!” Serious anglers will instantly recognize the sound. Another pair of favorite sunglasses is headed to the bottom, never to be seen again. Cue that sinking feeling…
“It’s amazing how many anglers stop by our show booths with tales of sunglasses they’ve “donated” to the depths – often at a cost of $150 or more,” says Stephen Vaughan, Senior Director of Product Development at Hobie® Eyewear. “Those stories are especially tough when they tarnish the shine of catching a personal best, beast of the day, or that first fish with someone special.”
This is exactly why Hobie® Eyewear has added its popular Everglades and Snook polarized sunglasses to its already impressive line-up of “Float” models. “Our Everglades Float emerged as the standout style at the 2024 Bassmaster Classic!” said Dylan Coates, Marketing Manager for Hobie® Eyewear. “The new satin grey frame with cobalt blue mirror lens proved our top-selling SKU at the expo. That pair propelled Hank Cherry into the Super Six on the final day at Grand Lake O the Cherokees in Tulsa, OK. It’s also the favorite sunglasses of perennial Elite Series contender and two-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier Carl Jocumsen.”

Everglades Float: Satin Grey Frame / Grey Lens w/ Cobalt Blue Mirror
Hobie® Eyewear’s Everglades and Snook Float sunglasses blend style and functionality for fishing and outdoors enthusiasts. Featuring floating frames crafted for durability, they withstand the challenges of fishing environments. They will not sink if accidentally dropped overboard, making them a natural choice for those seeking superior performance and comfort during their fishing adventures.
“These new Float additions are equipped with the same features as their previous non-floating versions, including premium polarized lenses with our Hydroclean 360 coating, which resists water/oils, and co-molded rubber on the nose pads and temple tips for improved grip and performance,” notes Vaughan. “Like our other floating models, they incorporate an incredibly light, thermo-plastic frame for extremely comfortable all-day wear. We recommend Snook for small- to medium-faced customers Everglades for those with medium to large facial profiles.”

Snook Float: Shiny Tortoise Frame / Copper Lens w/ Sea Green Mirror
The polarized nylon lenses used in the Everglades and Snook Float sunglasses also increase clarity and enhance the contrast between fish and rocks, providing the needed contrast and visibility for technical sight fishing from dawn to dusk. They also eliminate glare while providing optimal visual acuity and 100% UVA, UVB, and UVC protection. Their hydro/oleophobic lens coatings repel and shed water, sunscreen, grime & dust, keeping vision clear at all times.

NSSF’s Project ChildSafe, Raleigh Metropolitan PD, Wake County Sheriff’s Department, Triangle Shooting Academy and Local Leaders Address Firearm Safety in Raleigh
![]()
RALEIGH, N.C. – Project ChildSafe®, a program of NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, in partnership with the Raleigh Metropolitan Police Department, Wake County Sheriff’s Department and Triangle Shooting Academy, launched a citywide firearm safety initiative to prevent gun accidents, suicides and thefts, which included the distribution of 5,000 free gun locks and educational resources to local gun owners.
“These locks and materials are available to everyone—no questions asked,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “We want to ensure that gun owners and their families in Raleigh have ample access to the necessary firearm safety and educational resources to keep their homes safe, and we are grateful to have local partners on the ground supporting us in this effort.”
Free gun locks are available at the following locations for pick up:
Project ChildSafe encourages gun owners to secure their firearms when they’re not in use with a gun lock, lock box or whatever storage device best suits their lifestyle—recognizing that safe, responsible firearm storage is the number one way to help prevent firearm accidents, suicides and thefts.
The campaign also included two weeks of digital and local radio advertising, which reached more than 400,000 Raleigh-area residents and pointed them to Project ChildSafe’s most popular online resources:
To date, Project ChildSafe has launched Focus Community initiatives in more than 10 cities across the U.S., partnering with law enforcement agencies, state representatives, city councilors and local community leaders to make millions of free gun locks available nationwide. The program’s Focus Communities are in addition to the thousands of communities in every state and all 5 U.S. territories that partner with Project ChildSafe.
To learn more about the program, or to request specific resources for your community, visit Project ChildSafe’s newly redesigned website: ProjectChildSafe.org.
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.

Grasso Holdings Makes Sizable Contribution to NSSF’s Protect Liberty PAC Ahead of 2024 Election
$10,000 Contribution Bolsters Protect Liberty PAC‘s Efforts to Protect
Americans’ Freedoms and Liberties, Including Our Second Amendment Rights
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The NSSF’s Protect Liberty Political Action Committee (Protect Liberty PAC) received a sizable contribution from Grasso Holdings that will be utilized to help identify and support the election of candidates who are dedicated to preserving and protecting liberty, freedom and the Constitutional rights of all Americans. The $10,000 contribution will benefit Protect Liberty PAC’s efforts ahead of the November 2024 election to ensure voters in key battleground states and congressional districts across the country are informed about candidates who will fight for their Constitutional rights and not carry out a “woke,” progressive, far left political agenda that threatens those rights.
“We are extremely grateful for the generous contribution from Grasso Holdings and for the leadership of Ed Grasso and his belief in Protect Liberty PAC’s mission to elect candidates who will fight for our liberties and freedoms, including the Second Amendment,” said Lawrence G.

UTM solutions are indispensable for the safe and seamless integration of UAS and eVTOLs into existing airspace. Unifly and Aloft, pioneers since their establishment in 2015, share a vision of enabling the UAS and AAM industries through UTM technology. With Terra Drone being shareholders in both, these companies have been at the forefront of UTM innovation. The introduction of UTM not only enhances digitization and automation but also promises to revolutionize the aviation industry.
Honeywell, a global aerospace innovator, has recently secured contracts exceeding $10 billion in its Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) business unit. With partnerships with key industry players like Archer Aviation, Supernal, Vertical Aerospace, and Lilium, Honeywell is committed to fostering long-term growth in the AAM sector.
Join us as two UTM leaders, alongside a representative from Honeywell, reflect on the past decade of UTM advancements and explore its transformative potential for the AAM industry in the next decade.

Shoot United™ Announces New Straight Shooter Profile Featuring Olympian, Dania Vizzi

EAST ALTON, IL (April 15, 2024) — Shoot United is launching a new Straight Shooter profile focusing on Dania Vizzi, a member of Team Winchester and Team USA who is one of eight elite shotgun athletes that will be competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Nicknamed “Shooterina”, Dania Vizzi is an accomplished dancer, even earning a spot at Juilliard, the renowned arts school in New York City. However, her love for the shooting sports took her on a different path. Dania has been earning international medals since 2015, with 2022 and 2023 being her strongest years yet. After being named the 2022 Women’s Skeet World Champion and earning gold at the 2023 ISSF Lonato World Cup, Dania now will be representing Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“Dania’s path in the shooting sports has been nothing short of unique and her dedication and talent are inspiring,” said Jason Gilbertson, director of marketing for Shoot United. “Telling stories, like Dania’s, illustrate how people from all walks of life, no matter their background, can find success in the shooting sports. That’s what Shoot United is all about.”
The Straight Shooter video series, presented by Shoot United, explores the human element of the shooting sports. Millions of firearm owners have been positively impacted by the shooting sports and Shoot United serves as a resource to share those stories.
Dania’s story can be accessed on ShootUnited.com as well as on the Shoot United YouTube channel. Stay tuned for an all-new Take Your Shot series from Dania where she breaks down the basics of shotguns.

NSSF Report Reveals Firearm Magazines with Capacity Over 10 Rounds is National Standard
![]()
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, revealed in a report that detachable magazines with a capacity exceeding 10 rounds are the overwhelming standard for firearm owners in the United States. The report, which surveyed 30-plus years of detachable magazine production and distribution, demonstrated that of the conservatively estimated 963,772,000 detachable magazines supplied from a firearm manufacturer and in the aftermarket, at least 717,900,000 have a capacity exceeding 10 rounds, the limit some states place for lawful magazine possession.
The Detachable Magazine Report (1990-2021) confirms what NSSF has known – that the national standard for magazine capacity for America’s gun owners is greater than 10 rounds. With nearly 1 billion detachable magazines in circulation, for both rifles and pistols, they are unquestionably commonly-owned and commonly-used for lawful firearm use, including recreational target shooting, hunting and self-defense. They are “arms” within the meaning of the Second Amendment. Detachable magazines are integral to the design of, and necessary for the proper functioning of, today’s modern semi-automatic firearms.
“The data establishes that law-abiding gun owners overwhelming choose magazines that have a capacity to hold more than ten rounds for lawful purposes including self-defense, target shooting and hunting,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel.
About 46 percent of the magazines estimated in this study are rifle magazines with 30+ round capacity. The percentage of detachable magazines at 11+ capacity is about 55 percent of total pistol magazines. The amount of 10 and below capacity rifle magazines supplied from the manufacturer is over one and a half times the amount of 30+ capacity rifle magazines. The consumer market totals of rifle magazines show 30+ capacity magazines, over 413 million, are over 30 times the amount available than 10 and below capacity rifle magazines, about 13 million.
Further examination of the data proves that of the 717,900,000 detachable magazines for pistols and rifles with a capacity greater than 10 rounds, 209,145,000 pistol magazines are in circulation from combined sales through firearm manufacturers (those magazines included with the firearm) and aftermarket production. Rifle magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds accounted for 508,755,000 and rifle magazines with a capacity of 30 rounds or greater totaled an estimated 448,369,000 from combined sale of those included with a firearm at sale and the aftermarket.
Just 245,872,000 pistol and rifle magazines with a capacity of 10 rounds or less are in circulation when accounting for the magazines included with a firearm from the manufacturer and the aftermarket.

Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

THE WAIT IS OVER! ALL PRE-ORDERS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED!
This is the new Strike Enhanced Grip Module for P365 FCUs which is now available and shipping!
At this time, ALL pre-orders HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. Below you’ll find our most frequently asked questions regarding compatibility:
Q: Will it fit pre-existing holsters?
A: Some may fit if you have a weapon mounted light, we are working with Hilliker Holster to provide a custom holster option for our customers.
Q: Will this accept P365 manual safety FCUs?
A: Yes, the grip has a cut-out area marked on both sides for users to snip, dremel, or file down this section.
Q: Will this work with the CA model?
A: Yes, the manual safety FCU model is compatible and not an issue. To clarify, this grip module requires modification to fit both the manual safety models and the CA model which includes a mag disconnect.
Q: Will this work with 10rd magazines?
A: YES! You can use the P365X/XL Micro Compact 10rd magazine to fit flush with our grip module.
Q: Is this the XL?
A: Yes, this is based off the Sig ‘X/XL’ style grip.
Q: Any plans for an XL or Macro version? What about the P320?
A: Yes! But this grip module can also accept the XMacro and XMacro Tac Ops slides. The dust cover fits perfectly with no gap in between.
Q: What mags fit flush w/ this grip module?
A: Other than the 10rd X/XL mag mentioned above, the 12rd mag can also sit flush it just depends on which mag base extension you have on it (Sig makes several). Note that 15rd and 17rd mags will always stick out.
Q: What lights fit on this?
A: In terms of compatibility, so far only the SureFire XSC-B and the Olight PL Mini 2 ‘Valkyrie’ and ‘Baldr’ perfectly fit our grip module. If you do buy an XSC, do not buy the ‘A’ model as that one is designed for the OEM Sig grip modules. The Streamlight TLR-7A and 7X does not reliably fit.
Q: Will this work with .380 FCUs?
A: Yes, this should work with P365 FCUs chambered in .380. All you need to do is acquire the correct recoil spring assembly, barrel and magazine for that and you’d be good. There are also 12rd .380 P365 mags pinned to 10rds for those in restricted states.
See how easy it is to drop your FCU into the Strike grip module!
Currently these grip modules come in our Blackline and FDEline.
On the left you can see what it looks like when using a flush 12rd mag. On the right you can see a P365 outfitted with a 15rd mag. The FDE setup also includes our Strike MRDS optic plate adapter.
PLEASE NOTE:
The P365 Strike Enhanced Grip Module is compatible with manual safety FCU’s. However, this requires modification and some fitment may be required. The cut-out areas are marked and outlined as a guide. Depending on the generation of FCU, the safety cut-out area may need to be larger than the guideline provided.
Equipped with Holosun 507C X2 ACSS. Using our MRDS Adapter Plater you can use over 30+ red dot sights!
The Strike LITESlide for P365 comes in Blackline and FDEline. It features forward serrations, ported windows for those that want to run ported barrels, and a mini charging handle on both sides towards the rear to help with ease of racking your slide.
The Strike Barrel for Strike P365 is fluted, has a crowned tip, and is coated in black nitride.
