Bond Arms’ New Budget-Friendly Version of the Snake Slayer – The Rowdy XL.

Granbury, TX (January 24, 2024) -Introducing the Bond Arms® Rowdy XL, making a bold entrance into 2024 with a winning combination of ambitious features and an affordable price point. This remarkable firearm offers exceptional quality and performance, ensuring that gun enthusiasts can experience top-tier capabilities without breaking the bank.

Chambered in .45 Colt/.410, the Rowdy XL seamlessly blends quality with comfort. The enhanced 3.5-inch barrel, compared to the original Rowdy, maintains exceptional accuracy. Following Bond’s tradition, the barrel features two chambers in typical derringer fashion, one above and one below. The overall length is 6 inches, weighing a solid 22 ounces.

The Rowdy XL sets itself apart with its extended grip, meticulously crafted from B6 resin, seamlessly integrating with the robust stainless steel frame. The choice of a ‘blasted’ finish for both the barrel and frame, as opposed to a polished sheen, streamlines production time and reduces costs. This benefit is directly reflected in the consumer-friendly pricing. Priced nearly $250 lower than comparable alternatives, the Rowdy XL delivers exceptional quality and makes a compelling case for an affordable yet high-performance choice in the firearms market.

Bond Arms ensures a distinctive shooting experience with a 7-pound trigger pull, protected by the integrated trigger guard. For those not inclined towards the .45 Colt/.410, Bond Arms offers the flexibility to change barrels and chamberings quickly. Barrels are available for separate purchase on Bond’s website. Reloading is simplified with the left-hand side action release lever, accompanied by a case extractor for swift reloads.

The Rowdy XL delivers substantial cost savings, making it a revolutionary yet cost-effective firearm option for the range and carry. With its low cost, exceptional quality, and caliber-changing capability, the Rowdy XL stands out in the world of firearms.

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas, and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection.

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.

46th SHOT Show Kicked Off at Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum

Posted on Tuesday, 30 January, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

January 23, 2023

46th SHOT Show Kicks Off at Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum

The world’s largest trade show of its kind displays equipment and products for target shooting, hunting, the outdoors and law enforcement

From left to right: NSSF Exhibitions & Conferences Managing Director Melissa Schilling, Nevada Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony, NSSF Board of Governors Chairman Robert Scott, NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi.

LAS VEGAS — The 46th SHOT Show® opened this morning at The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum and will run for four days, January 23-26. The 2024 SHOT Show marks the third year of its expansion into Caesars Forum, adding to the exhibit space of its longtime home venue, The Venetian Expo, to accommodate more than 2,500 exhibitors covering more than 815,000 net square feet of show space.

Last year’s SHOT Show returned to its pre-pandemic attendance levels, attracting 52,000 in total attendance. The SHOT Show also vaulted to the eighth largest trade show in the U.S., measured by net square feet of exhibitor space, according to Trade Show Executive magazine. The SHOT Show is the third largest trade show in Las Vegas.

Owned and sponsored by NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, the SHOT Show is the largest trade show of its kind in the world. Professionals from the firearm and outdoor industry are here to view new, innovative products used for target shooting, hunting, outdoor recreation, personal defense and law enforcement purposes. Consumers will see these new products unveiled at the SHOT Show on retailers’ shelves throughout the year.

No firearms are transferred at the show.

The SHOT Show brings a charge to the economies of Las Vegas and Nevada, with the show generating more than $88 million in non-gaming revenue. In America, the firearm and ammunition industry has an economic impact of almost $81 billion, supporting more than 393,000 jobs. Many states value highly what industry businesses bring to their economies. That value will be the topic of discussion at the third NSSF-sponsored Governors’ Forum, where the chief executives from eight states will discuss the importance of the firearm industry in their states. Additionally, the first NSSF-sponsored state Attorneys General Forum will look at the legal landscape related to state-level challenges to the Second Amendment.

Education sessions for firearm retailers and shooting range operators are an important segment of the SHOT Show. SHOT University™ offers classes on compliance, business management and much more. In the past, presenters have included representatives from ATF, FBI and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Through its FixNICS® program, NSSF has helped to significantly improve the FBI’s NICS database by adding the names of persons legally prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm. These federal agencies also exhibit on the show floor to engage with industry manufacturers and federal firearms licensees (FFLs).

On the day before the SHOT Show opens, Industry Day at the Range will have more than 200 exhibitors providing hands-on experience with firearms, ammunition, optics, vehicles and other products to more than 2,300 invited outdoor media members and buyers. NSSF is the title sponsor of the event. More than 2,000 members of the press cover the SHOT Show.

SHOT WeekSM captures the full scope of SHOT Show-related events. These include the NSSF/HAVA Golf Classic in support of Honored American Veterans Afield, a firearm industry-run charitable organization that helps the healing of disabled combat veterans through participation in hunting and shooting sports.

The two-day Supplier Showcase is a show-within-a-show, with more than 560 original equipment manufacturer (OEM) third-party suppliers meeting with exhibiting manufacturers and exploring their needs for extrusions, fabrication, fabrics, machinery, metal, plastics, software, logistical support and tools.

New to the show is the Archery Business Pavilion, focused on traditional and new technologies for archery products.

At a special ceremony, NSSF will announce three new inductees to its Hall of Fame to honor industry leaders for their contributions to industry and the heritage of target shooting and hunting in America. The NSSF Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented as well.

The firearm industry is committed to the promotion of safe use and secure storage of its products to help prevent accidents, thefts and suicide. NSSF’s Project ChildSafe® and “Have a Brave Conversation” suicide prevention programs will have booths, as will NSSF’s partners in safety—the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA will offer its SAVE program on suicide prevention as part of the show’s educational lineup for firearm retailers.

NSSF works to keep guns out of the hands of prohibited persons at the retail level through its Operation Secure Store®, Don’t Lie for the Other Guy™ and FixNICS initiatives. These programs are collectively known as Real Solutions for Safer Communities® and are helping to save lives.

The SHOT Show attracts buyers from all 50 states and 115 countries. Some 13.9 miles of aisles lead to displays of firearms, ammunition, gun safes, locks and cases, optics, shooting range equipment, targets, training and safety equipment, hunting accessories, law enforcement gear, hearing and eye protection, tree stands, scents and lures, cutlery, GPS systems and other electronics, holsters, apparel, leather goods, game calls and decoys.

Anyone with an interest in the SHOT Show and new industry products can keep up with show events at shotshow.org or by following the show’s news on X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and the SHOT Show Blog.

SHOT SHOW 2024 InVeris Training Solutions

Posted on Monday, 29 January, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

I’ve followed InVeris Training Solutions for a few year and continue to be impressed by their technology. At this year’s Shot Show, they set up a structure for a clearing exercise. While moving through the structure, software displays armed tangos at a variety of different points in the structure. The images are displayed as an overlay in the trainee’s head gear creating an authentic experience. The trainee is equipped with an AR or pistol and is required to neutralize all targets by double tapping the hostile.

The entire session is controlled by a high-performance gaming laptop. It’s an impressive system that can only be improved via AI (artificial intelligence) integration. I can’t think of a law enforcement or military group that would not benefit from this training technology. I can’t think of a more cost-effective approach to keeping your officers or operators sharp.

InVeris Training Solutions’ unmatched expertise in training technology provides customized, cutting-edge solutions to keep military, law enforcement and commercial range clients safe, prepared and ready to serve–Because Seconds Matter™.

SHOT SHOW 2024: Streamlight Launches TLR-6 HL High-Lumen Rechargeable Lights

Posted on Monday, 29 January, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES TLR-6 HL® HIGH-LUMEN RECHARGEABLE LIGHTS

New Lights Use Rechargeable Battery; Fit Popular Compact Handguns

EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 24, 2024 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, introduced the TLR-6 HL® and the TLR-6 HL® G, high-lumen (HL) rechargeable gun-mounted tactical lights with an integrated red or green aiming laser. Among the first in Streamlight’s extensive line of weapon-mounted lights to use a rechargeable battery, the new lights deliver 300 lumens and are designed to securely attach to the rail and trigger guard of the GLOCK® 42/43, GLOCK® rail mount models, the Smith & Wesson® M&P® Shield™ and SIG SAUER® P365® handguns.

The lights are powered by Streamlight’s new proprietary SL-B2™ rechargeable battery that can be conveniently recharged in the included charge case by means of a USB-C cord. Each light ships with a battery in the light along with two additional batteries in the charge case, providing users a full hour of power.

“These newest additions to our best-selling line of TLR-6 weapon lights use high-lumen technology to provide full situational awareness in a variety of law enforcement, concealed carry, and home defense applications, such as illuminating a dark alley, vehicle or outdoor path,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “Each comes equipped with an integrated color aiming laser to enable users to readily identify a potential threat before taking any action. The SL-B2™ rechargeable battery provides on-the-go convenient charging coupled with the cost savings of rechargeability.”

The TLR-6 HL and TLR-6 HL G each feature a white LED to deliver 4,250 candela and 300 lumens over a beam distance of 130 meters. The lights use a parabolic reflector to produce a balance of focused beam and peripheral illumination. Featuring left and right-handed switches for ambidextrous operation, they offer two lighting modes: a quick press of either switch activates constant on operation, while pressing and holding the switch turns on the momentary setting.

The TLR-6 HL offers a 640-660 nm red laser to maximize visibility and long-range targeting capability, while the TLR-6 HL G features a 510-530 nm “eye safe” green laser to improve users’ ability to focus on targets during daylight hours. Both lights can be deployed in Laser Only mode to keep the gun on target, LED Only mode to provide bright, focused light, or dual mode which uses both light sources. They offer run times of 20 minutes for LED Only and LED/Laser modes. In Laser Only mode, the red laser provides 9 hours of run time, while the green laser delivers 5 hours.

The charge case charges up to two Streamlight SL-B2™ rechargeable batteries at a time, with red and green indicator LEDs providing battery charge status. The lights’ integrated battery door permits tool-less battery replacement with the light mounted on the weapon, eliminating the need to re-sight the laser after a battery change.

Each light is manufactured from durable, impact-resistant engineered polymer and uses a glass lens with a shock-resistant gasket seal. The lights are impact-resistant, tested to one meter.

The TLR-6 HL and the TLR-6 HL G are both 2.50 inches long and weigh 1.12 ounces with the included battery. They are available in black, while both models that fit the GLOCK® 42/43 are also available in Flat Dark Earth.

The TLR-6 HL and TLR-6 HL G have MSRPs of $230.00 and $280.00, respectively. Each comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Bond Arms’ New Stinger “Fireball” Weights in on Lightweight Carry-Conceal Firearms

Posted on Monday, 29 January, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

Bond Arms’ New Stinger “Fireball” Weights in on Lightweight Carry-Conceal Firearms

Granbury, TX (January 25, 2024) -The weight of a firearm is often a major concern for conceal-carry applications, especially when transitioning to a smaller caliber while maintaining the original frame/receiver dimensions. Typically, the additional space is filled with material, contributing to the overall heaviness of the firearm. Bond Arms® addresses this issue with the new Stinger “Fireball.”

Functionally identical to its counterparts, the Stinger “Fireball” receiver remains compatible only with other Stinger Fireball barrels. While maintaining the same dimensions and functionality, the new Stinger “Fireball” distinguishes itself with a lightweight anodized 7075 aluminum frame, adding a sleek two-tone design in black anodizing.

The Stinger “Fireball” ensures easy draw while maintaining the same positioning and function, featuring a low-profile break action lever on the left-hand side. It is factory-chambered in .22 Mag or 327 Fed Mag, unconventional self-defense calibers that nearly match the force of a standard, non +P 9mm. The pistol is equipped with a B6 resin extended grip for superior felt recoil reduction and a secure hold.

Weighing in at only 14.4 ounces, this is one of Bond Arms’ lightest derringers. With a standard 3-inch barrel and an overall length of 5.5 inches, it offers concealability, comfort, and ease of use. Despite its lightweight design, it accommodates two rounds in the chamber with its single-action hammer and a 7-pound trigger pull.

Features:

· Caliber: .22 Mag, 327 Fed Mag
· Barrel Length: 3”
· Grip Material: B6 Resin
· Grip Size: Extended
· Sights: Fixed
· Length: 5.5
· Weight: 14.4oz
· Ammo Capacity: 2
· Single Action
· Trigger Pull Weight: 7lb
· Trigger Guard: Yes
· MSRP $389

EXTREMA RATIO ANT

Posted on Monday, 29 January, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

Ant is the most compact of the Extrema Ratio folding knives. Despite its small size, this model has an extremely robust, resistant and reliable structure. The handle consists of two different elements, the grip made of anodized anticorodal aluminum and the tempered steel frame that functions as a locking mechanism for the blade (Frame Lock System). Part of the frame is bent inwards to firmly fix the blade when opened, thus increasing the operator’s safety during use.
On the shank there is a slot for inserting a lanyard; on the right side of the handle there is a steel clip that allows to conceal the knife inside the pocket. Ant is available in 4 versions with two different types of steel both supplied by Böhler, an Austrian company which Extrema Ratio has been collaborating with for more than 20 years, using their time-tested materials to produce its blades.
Ant Black and Ant Black Stone Washed are made of Böhler N690, hardened to 58 HRC for better balance between edge retention and strength; this is a type of steel used by Extrema Ratio for the majority of its knives.
Rescue Red Stone Washed M390 and Black Stone Washed M390 are made of Böhler M390 steel heat treated to 61 HRC which, thanks to metallurgical powder production processes, guarantees cutting effectiveness, resistance to wear and oxidation over time. The sheepsfoot blade is equipped with a small slot on the top to facilitate opening. Its particular structure, thanks to the straight edge, allows the user to comfortably rest his fingers on the back of the knife and use it smoothly.
Ant Rescue, unlike the other 3 versions, has a red grip that allows the operator to find the knife more easily in the event of a fall. This version is equipped with a specific serration that allows it to cut ropes and even extremely strong aramid materials. This model also features a tapered shank that acts as an emergency screwdriver. Thanks to these peculiarities, Ant Rescue has been selected by the ‘Alpine Troop School of the Italian Army’ to be part of its equipment.

Extrema Ratio Ant is available in the following versions:

Ant Black (black handle scales and Böhler N690 burnished blade)
Ant Black Stone Washed (black handle scales and Böhler N690 Stone Washed blade)
Ant Black Stone Washed M390 (black handle scales and Böhler M390 Stone Washed blade)
Ant Rescue Red Stone Washed (red handle scales and Böhler M390 Stone Washed blade)

NSSF Moves to Intervene in Case to Prevent Law Enforcement Trace Data From Unlawful Public Disclosure

Posted on Monday, 29 January, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

January 23, 2024

NSSF Moves to Intervene in Case to Prevent Law Enforcement Trace Data From Unlawful Public Disclosure

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, the Firearm Industry Trade Association, filed a Motion to Intervene with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to protect law enforcement sensitive crime gun trace data that the City of Baltimore, Md., is attempting to force the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to reveal, despite federal law barring the release of trace data outside of law enforcement.

The City of Baltimore is attempting to expose crime gun trace data that is specifically protected from public disclosure by Congress for over 20 years because releasing this law enforcement sensitive data would jeopardize ongoing criminal investigations, putting the lives of law enforcement, witnesses, cooperating firearm retailers and others at risk. This is why Congress, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), ATF and law enforcement, including the nation’s largest police organization, the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), all agree on the importance of protecting this sensitive data. Access to gun crime trace data is – and should only be – available to law enforcement in connection with a bona-fide criminal investigation. The Baltimore Police Department has full access to the data for its jurisdiction. No law enforcement agency has ever been denied access to trace data.

“This is a transparent attempt by gun control advocates at the City of Baltimore and their lawyers from the Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety to gain access to the data to use it to smear licensed firearm retailers and manufacturers by suggesting they are responsible for crimes committed by others misusing lawfully sold firearms,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The danger of releasing trace data is not hypothetical. This information is guarded because it is often incomplete and is used by law enforcement in active criminal investigations. Disclosing it would endanger the lives of our police. Additionally, the misuse of trace data is an attempt by gun control advocates in the city’s government as a substitute for actual evidence of wrongdoing by members of the industry.”

ATF trace data was misused by gun control groups in litigation against industry members as a substitute for actual evidence of wrongdoing, even though ATF has repeatedly said, including in their 1999 Crime Gun Trace Analysis Reports, “The appearance of [a licensed dealer] or a first unlicensed purchaser of record in association with a crime gun or in association with multiple crime guns in no way suggests that either the federal firearms licensed dealer (FFL) or the first purchaser has committed criminal acts. Rather, such information may provide a starting point for further and more detailed investigation.”

NSSF will not stand idly by while gun control advocates like Everytown and their bought-and-paid for antigun politicians seek to circumvent the rule of law in their failing crusade to shutter the firearm industry that makes the exercise of the Second Amendment possible.

The City of Baltimore filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with ATF to disclose records of the top 10 retailers of firearms that were sold and subsequently recovered at Baltimore crime scenes between 2018-2022, as well as the time-to-crime from when those firearms were sold and recovered by police. Baltimore officials also sought information about firearms recovered in the same time period with any connection to homicide, attempted homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, suicide and attempted suicide. The third and fourth requests seek data tables or spreadsheets that were used to compile two charts published in the report produced by ATF on Baltimore crime involving firearms.

Public disclosure of this information would violate federal law, specifically the Tiahrt Amendment, which prohibits disclosure of the ATF firearm trace information.

NSSF’s New BraveConversation.org Website Provides Suicide Prevention Resources and Shareable Graphics

NSSF’s New BraveConversation.org Website Provides Suicide Prevention Resources and Shareable Graphics

LAS VEGAS — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, has launched BraveConversation.org, a new website with resources for gun owners and their families about caring for mental health and preventing suicide.

“More than 50 percent of firearm-related fatalities are suicide deaths, not homicides or accidents, and by providing education about mental health, secure storage of firearms and how to help someone who’s struggling—having that ‘brave conversation’—we can help save lives,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF’s President and CEO. “Suicide is a sensitive topic, but we can talk about suicide and mental health while at the same time respecting Second Amendment rights.”

NSSF announced BraveConversation.org at the SHOT Show®, the firearm industry trade show that brings together manufacturers, wholesalers, firearm retailers, shooting range operators, endemic media and law enforcement professionals from all 50 U.S. states and more than 115 countries. NSSF encourages industry companies, organizations and individuals to use the shareable graphics on BraveConversation.org to raise awareness in the firearm-owning community about the website’s resources and suicide prevention.

One of the shareable graphics makes the point, “Suicide Is Preventable: Help Someone Who’s Struggling. BraveConversation.org.” All the shareable graphics highlight the national call/text 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

The topic of suicide prevention has high visibility at the trade show. NSSF’s Have a Brave Conversation and Project ChildSafe® programs are exhibiting, and NSSF’s partners, the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, are providing educational materials as well. BraveConversation.org highlights NSSF partner resources such as the VA’s REACH program and AFSP’s initiatives.

Show attendees can use a QR code to access an overview of suicide prevention resources on-site during the four days of the SHOT Show.

BraveConversation.org serves as the hub of resources included in the NSSF-AFSP Suicide Prevention Toolkit. The toolkit’s materials were designed for firearm retailers and shooting ranges to display at their facilities to raise awareness among staff and customers about steps to take to help prevent suicide. The toolkit, built around the theme of “Have a Brave Conversation,” includes posters, counter cards, window decals and an educational brochure for customers to take home from the store or range.

More than 8,000 NSSF-AFSP Suicide Prevention Toolkits and more than 800,000 of the Firearms and Suicide Prevention brochures have been distributed since the inception of the program.

Check out BraveConversation.org.

Smith & Wesson^® Pays Homage to the Iconic Lever Gun: Introducing the S&W^® Model 1854 Series

MARYVILLE, TN., (1/22/2024) – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, is proud to announce the release of its first ever series of lever-action rifles, the S&W Model 1854 Series.

In 1854, Smith & Wesson founders Horace Smith & Daniel Wesson patented their first lever gun. Honoring that historic milestone, the classic American lever gun is reborn as the Model 1854 Series, the first to incorporate the feel of Smith & Wesson’s revered large-frame revolvers, their smooth action, and iconic craftsmanship.

The all-new Model 1854 Series rifles are built with 19¼-inch barrels, are chambered in .44 Rem Mag, and have a capacity of 9+1. Their design strategically blends the classic aesthetic of the American lever gun while incorporating modern enhancements for those who want more. The Model 1854 has a paired synthetic black and stainless-steel finish across the stock, receiver, forend, and barrel. Key features include M-LOK^® slots in the forend, a 4¾-inch Picatinny base for mounting optics, a large loop lever, and a flat-face trigger. Additionally, these rifles contain a side loading gate, utilize side ejection, and include a removable mag tube for improved ease of unloading.

The Model 1854 Limited Edition shares the same feature set, but instead of the M-LOK^® capable forend, it boasts a classic high-grade satin walnut finish on both the stock and forend and a polished black PVD finish on the receiver and barrel. Both rifles have an overall length of 36 inches, include a 11/16-24 threaded muzzle, and ship with an XS Sights^® adjustable ghost ring rear sight and a gold bead front sight.

“Today, as we proudly unveil the Model 1854 Series, we embark on a journey that pays homage to this timeless design. Meticulously crafted, these rifles fuse the classic craftsmanship of the iconic lever-action with modern engineering to deliver a platform built on reliability and performance. Our new Model 1854 rifles are a nod to tradition and a testament to Smith & Wesson’s legacy as an American firearms manufacturer,” said Mark Smith, President & CEO.

Model 1854 Series rifles are now available through authorized dealers and have an MSRP of $1,279 and $3,499 (Limited-Edition).

RICHMOND, Va. (Jan. 19, 2024) — Upholding their tradition of delivering riflescopes that combine outstanding performance, cutting-edge components, and affordability, GPO USA is thrilled to introduce the latest addition to their lineup—the CENTURI riflescope series.

The new CENTURI riflescopes are available in six distinct models, including two super-compact options, 3-12x44i SC and 4-16x44i SC, and four traditional-sized models: 4-16x44i, 2.5-15x44i, 2.5-15x50i, and 3-18x44i. Featuring 30mm tubes, ¼-inch or .1 MRAD click adjustments, GPObrightÔ high transmission lens coating technology, iControlÔ auto-off illuminated reticles, DoubleHD objective lens technology, and Zero-stop locking turrets on most models, the CENTURI riflescopes maintain GPO USA’s commitment to excellence. As with all GPO products, the CENTURI riflescopes are backed by the dependable Spectacular Lifetime Warranty™.

CENTURI SUPER-COMPACT: 3-12x44i and 4-16x44i Designed for shooters seeking a low-profile optic with higher magnification, these super-compact riflescopes fill a unique niche. The 3-12x44i SC is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, fitting seamlessly onto mountain rifles or smaller MSRs. It features the G4i illuminated micro-dot crosshair reticle in the second focal plane and standard capped ¼ MOA turrets. Whereas the 4-16x44i caters to tactically-oriented shooters, boasting an FFP mil-based illuminated reticle and zero-stop locking ballistic turrets with .1 mrad per click adjustments. Remarkably, both scopes measure a mere 9.9” in length.

CENTURI FULL SIZE: 4-16x44i, 2.5-15x44i, 2.5-15x50i, and 3-18x44i Catering to discerning American outdoor enthusiasts seeking exceptional quality optics at a reasonable price, the CENTURI full-sized riflescopes feature a ballistic MOA reticle with an illuminated micro-dot in the second focal plane. All models are equipped with zero-stop locking exposed ballistic turrets, rotating counterclockwise for traditional ¼ MOA adjustments. Blank turrets are available for custom engraving as needed.

Mike Jensen, owner and CEO of GPO USA, emphasized, “This extensive new lineup of Americanized riflescopes is loaded with every feature North American shooters and hunters are looking for. Whether you’re in search of a compact scope for a modern MSR rifle, a scope designed for long-range precision shooting, or a scope for general big game hunting, these riflescopes are guaranteed to deliver exceptional performance. Best of all, we’re offering them at prices far below comparable products in today’s market.”

NEW 5.56 HIGH FLOW!

Posted on Saturday, 20 January, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

The newest suppressor from JK Armament is here!

The JK G.O.A.T HF (High Flow) is the most advanced, quietest suppressor we’ve ever made and it’s ready for full auto use on 5.56 NATO with barrels as short as 7.5 inches. As you expect from JK, the G.O.A.T. is mission-configurable and impressively lightweight. It may just be the greatest of all time!

JK Armament outperformed at the 2023 Silencer Summit, where our .30 caliber JK 155 SBRX brought home a 2nd place finish among stiff competition from all of the top suppressor brands. Building on that impressive result in developing our first .223/5.56 suppressor is how we’ve arrived at the JK G.O.A.T. HF (High Flow).

All hail the G.O.A.T.

Quieter than the class-leading SBRX by a whopping 5 dB when shot on .223/5.56 platforms!

High flow to dramatically reduce back pressure.
Rated for hard use including 5.56 NATO full auto on barrels as short as 7.5 inches. It’s no wonder we’ve called it the G.O.A.T.HF (High Flow)!

Mission Configurable, the JK G.O.A.T. HF (High Flow) can be as compact as 3.3 inches and 4.4 ounces, or as quiet as possible in its full configuration of 7 inches and 13.4 ounces.

New baffle and front cap designs mean the G.O.A.T. HF is High Flow, reducing blowback, backpressure, and even sound at the shooter’s ear!

A new JK Taper Mount is compatible with even more ASR-spec muzzle devices, and a refined G.O.A.T HF (High Flow) End Cap greatly reduces muzzle signature (especially when paired with a JK Armament .22cal War Eagle).

Manufactured from 17-4 stainless steel and Grade 5 titanium, the G.O.A.T. perfectly balances durability and lightweight. It’s the best .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO suppressor available; super quiet, high flow, and ready for hard use!

Each GOAT Includes:
(1) JK 155 PRO XL Taper Mount
(1) JK 155 PRO 2.5” Tube
(1) JK 155 GOAT HD Rifle Baffle
(4) JK 155 GOAT PRO Rifle Baffle
(1) JK 155 PRO G.O.A.T HF (High Flow) End Cap

Getting Your Minerals?

Minelab to showcase consumer and landmine clearance detectors at SHOT Show 2024.

Chicago, IL (January 19, 2024) – Minelab, the world leader in metal-detecting technologies for gold prospecting, treasure hunting, and landmine clearance, will be fully detectable at SHOT Show 2024. Located in the Venetian Expo Level 1, this year’s Minelab booth (#41516) is a can’t-miss stop for SHOT Show attendees.

Made famous by the hit History Channel show, The Curse of Oak Island, Minelab DETEXPERT, Gary Drayton, will be in the Minelab booth on Wednesday, January 24, greeting fans and providing tips and other information relative to Minelab metal-detecting equipment and technologies.

SPOTLIGHT ON NEW PRODUCTS

X-TERRA PRO

Priced to be a gateway into the sport, the X-TERRA PRO offers more for the money than any metal detector, ever.

Topping the list of attributes is simplicity. The X-TERRA PRO was engineered to be easily operated, while still providing the technical edge Minelab is known for. And that advanced simplicity begins with preset Search Modes that instantly operate on frequencies best suited for specific environments, to include parks, fields, and beaches. In fact, each of those terrains offer two unique settings within, to further accommodate specifically what’s under your feet. And when it’s time to take control of your own detecting destiny, Minelab’s exclusive PRO-SWITCH™ technology turns over the reins so you can switch frequencies from 5, 8, 10, and 15 kHz, and detect even deeper.

The X-TERRA PRO’s large, backlit, LCD screen displays easily identified icons for each Search Mode. Moreover, the screen reveals other important intelligence like signal strength, frequency, battery power, volume, and more. More seasoned hunters can refine settings quickly and easily, too.

The soft-touch button array located below the screen is equally as straightforward. Quick button pushes let the user adjust frequency and sensitivity, change terrain settings, employ an All Metal Shortcut, pinpoint targets, and more.

With multiple tone audio options, the sound of treasure has never been clearer — X-TERRA PRO’s advanced audio means you’ll not only ‘hear’ if a target is trash or treasure, but you’ll also be able to gauge its size and depth simply by listening. Enjoy the crystal-clear audio with in-built Speaker (included) or lightning-fast low latency wireless headphones, wired headphones, and waterproof headphones – all compatible and available Minelab accessories.

The daylight may have ended, but that doesn’t mean your hunt has to — with control pod flashlight, red backlight display, backlit keypad, and handgrip vibration you can power on long after the sun has gone.

Feel free to detect creek beds and those shallow tidal waters because the X-TERRA PRO is fully waterproof down to 16-feet (5 meters). So not only can you detect underwater, but you’re also protected in rain and if by chance the detector takes an unexpected dunk in the drink.

Quite frankly, X-TERRA PRO dominates at the beach and a dedicated Beach Mode handles the most difficult saltwater conditions.

And because Minelab is committed to leading the pack for performance and support, the X-TERRA PRO is backed by Minelab’s global network and has up a to 3-year warranty.

X-TERRA PRO offers an array of waterproof coils and is compatible with V12X™ 12″x 9″ Elliptical Double-D (included), V8X™ 8″x5″ Elliptical Double-D, and V10X™ 10″x7″ Elliptical Double-D coils (accessory) so you’ll be prepared for any terrain. X-TERRA PRO is also compatible with all EQUINOX® series coils.

MSRP $299.99

PRO-FIND 40

Developed for the complete detectorist, the PRO-FIND 40 pinpointer isolates and identifies targets with advanced technology and offers unparalleled performance. Features include increased depth range, adjustable 5-level sensitivity, Rapid Re-tune, ferrous tone ID, high visibility, and handy lost-alarm. With the PRO-FIND 40, discover coins, rings and gold precisely — on land and underwater — with remarkable depth and speed, and with a 20 hour battery life.

INCREASED DEPTH

Finely tuned algorithms and circuitry deliver a solid increase in detection depth by 10% (compared to PRO-FIND 35) making PRO-FIND 40 Minelab’s deepest and most accurate pinpointer on the market.

ADJUSTABLE SENSITIVITY

Five sensitivity levels enable you to precisely adjust for maximum depth and minimum noise in all ground conditions.

LIGHT, SOUND & VIBRATION

Audio tones and vibration intensify as the probe approaches the target making recovery easier, especially underwater. A handy LED flashlight lets you operate and identify objects in low light.

WATERPROOF

The PRO-FIND 40 is fully waterproof down to 10-feet (3 meters)

RAPID RE-TUNE

Rapidly re-tune your PRO-FIND 40 to suit your environment at the press of a button, minimizing interference in challenging ground conditions.

FERROUS TONE ID

Two different responses help identify ferrous junk from non-ferrous treasure.

DIF TECHNOLOGY

DIF significantly reduces interference with an operating detector when PRO-FIND 40 is switched off.

LOST ALARM

PRO-FIND series pinpointers feature a lost-alarm that sounds after a period of inactive use. This makes it easy to locate your forgotten PRO-FIND 40, even in long grass, so you never leave it behind.

ULTIMATE RELIABILITY

Coil design advancements, algorithm tuning and the new Rapid Re-tune feature make the PRO-FIND 40 the most reliable pinpointer ever. This means you can trust every signal and retrieve targets with ease.

MAP $149

Hydra Weaponry Exhibiting at SHOT Show 2024

Posted on Saturday, 20 January, 2024 by twobirdsflyingpub

Visit Hydra Weaponry at the 2024 SHOT Show at Booth 40420

Hydra Weaponry Exhibiting at SHOT Show® 2024

Revolutionary new products and a special SHOT Show® promotion for qualified dealers will be unveiled at Booth 40420 at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 23 – 26, 2024.

Hermon, Maine (January 2024) – Hydra Weaponry, designers and manufacturers of the truly modular MARCK-15 Hydra® Weapon System, will be exhibiting new products in Booth 40420 at the SHOT Show 2024 held at the Venetian Expo & Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, Nevada, between Jan. 23 – 26, 2024. Hydra Weaponry will also be offering a SHOT Show promotion for qualified dealers in attendance.

“We are excited to be exhibiting at SHOT Show once again,” Mack Gwinn III, Owner of Hydra Weaponry, commented. “We have undergone significant growth, expanding operations with more CNC machines and additional shifts, as well as growing our team. We are looking forward to connecting with our dealer and media friends, showcasing our new products, and exploring collaborative opportunities during the show.”

Mark Eliason, VP of Sales and Marketing, holding the HYDRA Weaponry AR10 .308 Modular Rifle.

New products on display at Booth 40420 will be the HYDRA Weaponry AR10 .308 Modular Rifle and the HYDRA AR-LC 5.56 (California and New York compliant) Modular Rifle. The Hydra AR-LC ultra-compliant modular rifle is a clip-fed (from top) bolt action style with a solid bottom, low-capacity magwell, and manual pull charging handle. In addition, Mack Gwinn Jr.’s paradigm-shifting Bushmaster Arm Pistol from the 1970s has been revolutionized for the 21st century as the BMP-23.

The BMP-23 is the 5.56m pistol that Gwinn Jr. would have built if he had today’s CNC machinery and technologically advanced materials. The AK47-type gas piston design pistol with an A2 grip is composed of lightweight aluminum and steel construction, coming in at 5.2 lbs. The chrome-moly barrel is 11.5.” The BMP-23 features integral iron sights and a unique 40-degree swivel design that allows it to switch from right to left-hand operation.

Hydra Weaponry is offering a special promotion to attending dealers at the SHOT Show. To qualify for entry, a dealer must have a valid FFL and have their SHOT Show exhibitor badge scanned by a Hydra Weaponry booth staff member. After the show, Hydra Weaponry will randomly choose one lucky dealer to win a HYDRA® Marck-15 7.62×39 modular rifle with the Transforming Handguard. The value of the award is $1,400, which the winning dealer can sell through their FFL or keep for themselves.

The prize modular rifle, the Hydra® Marck-15 7.62×39, is built on a Hydra modular lower receiver with a 7.62×39 or AK-47 magazine well with an AK mag and the Hydra Quick Change Barrel Upper Receiver (QCB-D). It includes a 7.62×39 barrel with a low-profile gas block, the Hydra modified bolt carrier with an MGI-enhanced 7.62×39 bolt and firing pin, a Hydra D-Fender D-Ring, and a B5 systems stock and pistol grip. To convert this system to any of the ever-growing systems, all that is needed is a change of barrel, bolt, and mag well of the desired caliber (caliber conversion kits available).

The SHOT Show is owned by NSSF®, the Firearm Industry Trade Association, and is restricted to the shooting, hunting, and outdoor professionals and commercial buyers and sellers of military, law enforcement, and tactical products and services ONLY. The SHOT Show is not open to the general consuming public (e.g., private visitors, hunters, sport shooters, members of hunting and sport shooting clubs, etc.). Proof of professional affiliation is required.
