Diamondback Firearms Unveils the Ventra Suppressor Line: American-Made Precision for Modern Shooter

Cocoa, FL – December 1, 2025 – Diamondback Firearms announced today the launch of its Ventra Suppressor Line, marking a major expansion into the suppressor market. Designed, engineered, and built in the United States, the Ventra series delivers the precision engineering and reliable performance that shooters have come to expect from Diamondback.

Constructed from military-grade Inconel 718 and 17-4 stainless steel, Ventra suppressors are rated for full-auto fire and are built to endure extreme environments. A modular, HUB-compatible architecture allows shooters to adapt mounting systems easily, and Diamondback’s internal Pressure Venting structure reduces blowback, mitigates recoil, and keeps gas out of the shooter’s face.

“We approach every new product with the same commitment to innovation and quality that drives our firearms,” said Dave Larson, Marketing Director at Diamondback Firearms. “Built for professionals and enthusiasts, these suppressors deliver quiet operation without compromise.”

The series is finished in Cerakote Armor Black or FDE. All models are full-auto rated.

A Breakthrough Lets Forensics Recover “Impossible” Fingerprints

A Breakthrough Lets Forensics Recover “Impossible” Fingerprints

Dec 3, 2025

(Source: iHLS)

Firearms investigators have long worked under a simple assumption: once a round is fired, any fingerprint left on the cartridge case is effectively destroyed. Heat, pressure, and friction inside the chamber tend to burn away the organic residues that conventional methods rely on, leaving analysts with little more than tool-mark traces to link evidence back to a weapon. A new technique developed at Maynooth University in Ireland suggests this limitation may not be permanent.

The research team has demonstrated an electrochemical process capable of revealing clear fingerprint patterns on spent brass casings within seconds. Instead of depending on sweat or skin oils, the method uses the fingerprint’s physical imprint as a protective mask. When a low voltage is applied, a thin metallic coating forms only on the exposed areas of the brass surface, leaving the ridge pattern untouched and creating a sharp, high-contrast negative image.

According to Interesting Engineering, this distinction is important because organic residues often evaporate or degrade during firing, while the physical deformation caused by a fingerprint can survive. Early trials show the technique works even on casings that have undergone significant thermal stress, offering investigators an opportunity to link ammunition not just to a firearm, but to a person — a connection previously considered unattainable after discharge.

For homeland security, law enforcement, and counterterrorism units, the ability to recover prints from fired casings could provide a new layer of intelligence in cases involving organized crime, firearms trafficking, or improvised weapons. Ammunition from shootings or attacks often appears without the firearm itself; any tool that strengthens the evidentiary chain can significantly improve investigative outcomes.

The researchers caution that the method is still under development. Surface corrosion, extreme heat exposure, and variations in metal type can all affect results. Stainless steel and aluminum remain more challenging than brass, and long environmental exposure reduces reliability. Before any courtroom use, the technique will require extensive validation, blind testing, and inter-laboratory replication.

Despite these limitations, the approach holds promise beyond ammunition. The same principles could apply to knives, explosive fragments, or other conductive materials exposed to heat. If broader testing confirms its reliability, this electrochemical process may become a valuable addition to the forensic toolkit — offering answers in cases where traditional methods fall short.

The research was published in the Forensic Chemistry Journal.

ZeroTech Optics Releases New Reticle Options for the Vengeance 3-12×40

ZeroTech Optics Releases New Vengeance 3–12×40 SFP Reticle Options

Nashville, TN — November 10, 2025ZeroTech Optics announces the newest evolution of its proven Vengeance 3-12×40 SFP riflescope platform, introducing expanded reticle options designed to give hunters and shooters faster target acquisition, more intuitive holds, and confident performance from first light to last.

Built on a lightweight 1-inch tube with side parallax adjustment and fully multi-coated optics, the Vengeance 3-12×40 family now features three distinct reticle choices to match the way you shoot: the clean and precise R3, the classic PHR 4, and the low-light-ready PHR 4 Illuminated.

R3 Reticle: Clean MOA Holds with a Floating Center Dot

Engineered for shooters who prefer an uncluttered view with precise references, the R3 delivers 1 MOA subtensions with hash marks every 4 MOA and a floating center dot, framed by bold cardinal bars that draw your eye to center. It pairs perfectly with the scope’s compact form factor for confident holds in real-world wind. Key chassis features include a 1-inch aircraft-grade tube, side parallax from 15 m to infinity, locking turrets with zero reset, and a removable throw lever.

PHR 4 Reticle: The Classic, Done Better

The PHR 4 blends bold outer posts for rapid centering with fine inner lines for precise aim—an ideal crossover for hunters and weekend range days alike. The 3–12× range balances field carry and reach, while ¼-MOA clicks and the rugged 6061-T6 body keep zero locked in through hard use.

PHR 4 Illuminated Reticle: Low-Light Confidence

When shadows lengthen, the PHR 4 IR adds a bright, controllable aiming point. Six illumination settings, bold outer posts, and fine inner lines make tracking and breaking the shot intuitive in challenging light—without adding bulk. Built on the same lightweight 1-inch platform with side parallax adjustment and ¼-MOA locking turrets, it’s a natural fit for classic hunting rifles.

Key Features

· 3–12× Magnification: Versatility for timber to open country.

· 1-Inch Tube: Lightweight balance and compatibility with standard rings.

· Side Parallax (15 m – ∞): Pinpoint focus and parallax correction.

· Fully Multi-Coated Optics: Bright, high-contrast images in variable light.

· R3 reticle: Floating center dot, 1-MOA subtensions, 4-MOA hash marks.

· PHR 4 reticle: Bold posts, fine inner lines, open top for maximum visibility.

· PHR 4 IR reticle: Six brightness settings for low-light control.

· Locking, Zero-Reset Turrets + Removable Throw Lever: Fast, repeatable adjustments and quick power changes.

In the Box
Vengeance 3-12×40 SFP Riflescope; Removable Magnification Throw Lever; Stretch-Fit Lens Covers; Lens Cleaning Cloth; Welcome Card with QR to the instruction manual.

Built for Real Hunters and Everyday Shooters

Whether you’re refreshing a trusted rifle or building a lightweight field rig, the Vengeance 3-12×40 platform gives you the right reticle for your hunt, paired with the durability, optical clarity, and intuitive controls that have made ZeroTech a go-to choice in the field.

About ZeroTech Optics
ZeroTech designs purpose-built sporting optics that deliver real-world performance, honest value, and rock-solid reliability for hunters and shooters worldwide.

ScentLok’s new Traverse Duffel Series offers a reliable, sporty, and odor-controlling solution for carrying your field gear and travel items

MUSKEGON, Mich. (December 3, 2025) – ScentLok duffels have been perennial favorites since their inception, hunters and general outdoor enthusiasts appreciating their intuitive utilitarian design combined with contemporary looks. And now, the leading manufacturer of progressive hunting solutions ups the ante with the new Traverse Duffel Series: 80L, 130L, and 130L Roller.

Traverse Duffel 80L (Olive)

Form meets function… “The new Traverse Duffels are unquestionably sharp-looking, but it’s the consideration for every square inch of function that makes them so special,” said ScentLok Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “From the fabric to the pockets and pouch for our OZ Radial Nano portable ozone generator, these are awesome duffels for the field as well as carrying or rolling through the airport. 

Available in two sizes and three configurations, the Traverse Duffels are constructed with hardy 600D PVC backed polyester fabric. By employing 600D fabric makes the duffels exceptionally durable, water-resistant, and defiant against wear and tear.

Externally, you’ll appreciate the MOLLE straps for attaching gear, practical zippered pockets on both ends, front zippered pocket, comfortable hand carry, and removable backpack-style straps for toting handsfree for longer distances.

Features within the vast main compartment include mesh pouch for OZ ozone units as well an included carbon mat to adsorb odors from clothing and air inside the duffel.

What is OZ? Ozone is universally known as a natural way to clean and refresh just about anything. ScentLok’s OZ products are designed for versatility and can be used almost anywhere. OZ ozone generators attack and reduce viruses, bacteria, odors, and other contaminants that surround us daily. Ozone molecules (O3) are inherently volatile and look for every opportunity to return to the natural state of oxygen (O2). OZ ozone generators emit a powerful stream of ozone molecules to destroy those odors, bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew, and more.

A special shout out goes to the Traverse Roller Duffel 130L. The definitive traveling scent control solution, the wheeled duffel features an extendable handle and extra durable wheels. Plan on being the coolest traveler in the airport.

Syren Savvy: Santa’s Nice List – Jingle Bells and Shotgun Shells

Santa’s Nice List:
Jingle Bells and Shotgun Shells

Syren pro-staffer Kate Ahnstrom is working as Santa’s helper with this nice list of Syren shotguns and accessories. Remember to get your wish list done early.

Have you found your way into the exciting and engaging world of clay games? Perhaps, you have had the chance to chase feathers at a preserve or even on wild birds? Did you have your own gun to use, or did you need to borrow one? The holiday season is the perfect time to put in your wish list and make sure you receive the most amazing gifts.

The Syren XLR5 Waterfowler: Perfect for Her Duck/Goose Season

Syren pro-staffer Kate Ahnstrom understands the additional stress that waterfowling places on hunters’ bodies. Often that means bigger loads and heavier shotguns. Syren designed the XLR5 Waterfowler to meet the demands of women hunters.

Our options are becoming more varied in the industry as women prove they are serious competitors and hunters. One quadrant of the industry, waterfowling, has long been viewed as best left to serious hunters – you know, the guys who are dedicated to expansive decoy spreads, are able to handle hot and heavy loads and know how to operate a heftier shotgun.

I have plenty of students, female students, that love to drop ducks and get after geese. They are absolutely serious hunters and have no problem with the harsh conditions often encountered in a blind or boat. The problem has been that the industry has not opened up the options in gear for the female waterfowler. At least not until Syren built the XLR5 Waterfowler.

How to Crush It for a Cause: Hosting a Charity Shoot

PullForPAL_Syren_960px image

Frigid temps find us cuddled up on the sofa or in some manner, tucked safely indoors. This time of year, it is a bit tough to get motivated to get outside and do anything – much less go shooting or hunting. As we moved through January, many of you no doubt wrote down resolutions. Some of those resolutions might have included giving back to the community or helping with a local charity. Why not combine that resolution with an incredible sport, shotgunning?

Charities are always looking for engaging and exciting ways to draw in the dollars they need to maintain their missions. Golf events and marathons are the normal “go-to” fundraisers, but why not really put the FUN in fundraising? Sporting clays tournaments for charities are quickly taking over the tee times and tennis shoes.

A unique accessory section with divided compartments stores the release, stabilizer, rangefinders, and even assorted tools. And unlike other storage options, the quiver can remain attached to the bow in the Formula Bow Case. There’s even an internal rack for transporting up to eight arrows.

The Formula has an over-molded handle that’s comfortable for carrying over long hauls. It’s also lockable and TSA-friendly for airline travel.

The butt stocks feature a prince of whales’ grip with enhanced checkering — elegant curves and supreme comfort, and a secure hold. Always.

Shell Shock Technologies Launches Cyber Monday Sale

From Dec. 1 – 2, 2025, save 20 percent on next-gen ammo, casings, and apparel sitewide with code CyberMonday2025.

Eubank, KY (December 2025)Shell Shock Technologies, LLC. (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, is closing out the holiday weekend with its Cyber Monday Sale. From Dec. 1 – 2, 2025, customers can take 20 percent off sitewide at www.shellshocktechnologies.com using code CyberMonday2025. The online-exclusive deal gives shooters and reloaders the perfect opportunity to secure next-generation NAS³™ casings, Shell Tech™ factory-loaded ammunition, and performance-driven branded apparel at the best savings of the season.

“Cyber Monday allows us to connect with customers across the country and offer our best savings of the season,” said Peter Foss, Managing Partner and CEO of Shell Shock Technologies. “Whether shooters are stocking up on ammo, upgrading to NAS3 casings, or grabbing new Shell Tech apparel, this sale ensures they get top-quality performance at an unbeatable value.”

SST’s patented NAS3 casings deliver a powerful advantage for shooters and reloaders seeking strength, consistency, and performance. Built from a nickel-alloy stainless-steel hybrid construction, NAS3 casings are up to 50 percent lighter than traditional brass while offering twice the tensile strength, greater elasticity, and complete corrosion resistance. This advanced design minimizes wear on firearms, ejects cooler than brass, and withstands extreme pressures without deforming. Spent casing can also be retrieved with a magnet, and pistol cases can be reloaded multiple times without losing shape or integrity, making NAS3 a durable and cost-effective next-generation option for high-volume shooters. It is available in 9mm, 5.56x45mm, 308 Win, .380 ACP, and .300 BLK.

Shell Tech ammunition builds on this innovation, offering shooters superior precision, reliability, and performance across multiple calibers—9mm, .380 ACP, 300 AAC Blackout, 5.56 NATO, and 308 Win.  Every round is hand-inspected to ensure peak consistency, dependable function, and enhanced accuracy. Shell Tech ammo delivers fast, flat flight paths with reduced felt recoil, supporting quicker follow-up shots for competition, self-defense, recreation, and duty applications.

To complement its advanced ammo offerings, SST also features a growing line of Shell Tech apparel designed for comfort, durability, and everyday versatility. The collection includes premium T-shirts, mid-weight terry hoodies with secure storage and adjustable features, classic flannels with contrast details and functional touches, as well as UV-protective hats and rugged accessories. Designed for life at the range, in the field, or on the go, Shell Tech apparel blends performance-ready materials with modern, versatile designs.

NICS Checks Top 530,000 for ‘Black Friday’ Week

NSSF

December 1, 2025

NICS Checks Top 530,000 for ‘Black Friday’ Week

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, revealed that the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) completed 530,156 background checks related to firearms for the week leading up to, and including, “Black Friday,” one of the busiest shopping days of the year. That figure is down from 2024’s total of 613,380 for the same time period. The 2025 total is a 13.6 percent decrease from the 2024 figure.

NICS completed 165,183 background checks on “Black Friday” alone. The figure approximates firearm sales at retail on that day, although it also includes background checks for other purposes related to firearms such as approvals for concealed carry permits. NSSF will later this week release its Adjusted NICS figures for November reflecting only those background checks related to the sale of a firearm at retail.

NSSF has worked with firearm retailers to spread out special sales offers to customers throughout the week leading up to “Black Friday” so as not to overwhelm FBI NICS on a single day, which can result in longer than normal wait times.

“The background checks reported by the FBI are in keeping with the trends NSSF has seen throughout the year. While the overall trends are still coming off the peaks experienced in recent years, firearm sales remain consistently strong,” explained Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “These figures tell us that there is a continued strong appetite for lawful firearm ownership by law-abiding Americans and that firearm manufacturers across the country continue to deliver the quality firearms our customers have come to expect.”

Annual background check data shows that firearm sales will typically rise during the final months of the year coinciding with hunting seasons and holiday sales.

Below are the figures for each day of unadjusted FBI NICS background checks.

  • Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025: 73,326
  • Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025: 34,380
  • Monday, Nov. 24, 2025: 80,078
  • Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025: 81,475
  • Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025: 86,402
  • Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025: 9,312
  • Friday, Nov. 28, 2025: 165,183
  • Saturday, Nov. 29, 2029: 169,906



About NSSF

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

SAAMI 2026 Ballistics Conference Dates

SHELTON, Conn. — The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute® (SAAMI®) will present its 2026 Ballistics Conference September 15–17 in Baltimore.

The event will include a two-day technical seminar and training course plus a range day for product demonstrations and a facility tour of the testing laboratories at U.S. Element Space & Defense.

This will be the sixth biennial SAAMI Ballistics Conference. The conference is designed to serve as a training workshop and discussion forum addressing a range of topics relevant to small arms ammunition design, ballistic laboratory/test facility operations, methods and related equipment and materials.

The conference will be of special interest to small arms ballistic laboratory technicians, ammunition and firearm designers and test engineers, test facility managers and civilians, law enforcement and military who utilize the SAAMI standards in the manufacture or qualification of ammunition and firearms.



The SAAMI Ballistics Conference will run September 15–16 at the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court located in Baltimore’s scenic inner harbor.

The conference is still being planned, but topics will include:

  • PCB Ballistic Pressure Sensor User’s Training and Practical Workshop.
  • Propellants — the science, selection and use considerations.
  • Legal considerations of test recordkeeping.

Galco’s Concealable 2.0 Belt Holster now available for 5″ 1911s with rails!

December 2025

Now available for 5″ 1911s with rails!

Galco’s Concealable™ 2.0 is a thoroughly modern version of the strongside belt holster!

Building on over four decades of success with the original Concealable, the 2.0 version is updated for 21st century gun carriers. Cut low at the front, the new design accommodates most popular carry-style red dot optics. The raised sweat guard protects the wearer’s body from the pistol, and the pistol from the body’s natural perspiration. A mild butt-forward cant offers an easy draw from behind the dominant-side hip while also enhancing concealment with larger defensive pistols.

The Concealable 2.0’s unique two-piece construction is contoured on the body side to the natural curve of the hip, keeping all the molding on the front of the holster, allowing for significantly more comfortable carry and a narrower profile than an ordinary pancake type holster. (For an expanded discussion on forward molding versus the traditional pancake design, please see our FAQ.)

Hand-molded to fit specific handguns, the Concealable 2.0 features a deeply hand-molded exterior for excellent retention properties and superior appearance, firing grip accessibility for speed, and double-stitched seams for long-lasting durability.

Constructed of premium steerhide in black or tan, it’s made to fit belts up to 1 1/2″.

As I usually shoot alone and don’t have a spotter I sometimes have trouble locating the last shot, especially in a tighter group.

Defending the Algorithm: A Breakthrough in AI Security

Defending the Algorithm: A Breakthrough in AI Security

Nov 27, 2025

Artificial intelligence systems are increasingly valuable, and increasingly targeted. A new study from North Carolina State University presents the first working defense mechanism capable of protecting AI models from cryptanalytic attacks, which is a method hackers use to mathematically extract the parameters that define how an AI system operates.

Unlike conventional hacking, which exploits software vulnerabilities, cryptanalytic attacks work like digital espionage through observation. By feeding an AI model various inputs and analyzing its outputs, attackers can reverse-engineer its internal parameters — effectively cloning the system without needing direct access to its code or servers. For companies, defense agencies, and research institutions that rely on proprietary algorithms, this poses a serious security risk.

According to TechXplore, the new approach focuses on the architecture of neural networks — the layered structures that allow AI systems to process information. The researchers discovered that these attacks rely on differences between neurons within a layer. The more varied those neurons are, the easier it is to identify the mathematical relationships that define the network.

To block that process, the team developed a method of training neural networks so that neurons in the same layer behave more similarly. This creates what they call a “barrier of similarity,” preventing attackers from isolating distinct neuron patterns without affecting the model’s normal function. In testing, models retrained with this defense showed less than a 1% change in accuracy but became resistant to extraction attempts that had previously succeeded within hours. The researchers also introduced a framework for measuring how resistant a model is to such attacks. This allows organizations to assess their systems’ vulnerability without running lengthy simulations.

For defense and national security, the implications are significant. AI increasingly underpins mission-critical systems — from intelligence analysis and autonomous platforms to cybersecurity operations. Protecting those algorithms from being copied or reverse-engineered is essential for maintaining strategic advantage and safeguarding sensitive data.

While this new defense is still in the research stage, it highlights a growing recognition that artificial intelligence needs its own form of cybersecurity. As AI systems become integral to critical infrastructure, finance, defense, and everyday services, protecting their core algorithms will be as important as safeguarding the data they use. The work signals the beginning of a new era in digital protection — one where securing the intelligence behind the machine is just as vital as securing the networks that run it.

The research was published here.
