Ft. Lauderdale, FL – June 27, 2023 – FALCO® Holsters, globally recognized for exceptional artisanship in every handcrafted, purpose-built leather holster, is in the last days of their FALCO Holsters and Legally Armed America Gun/Holster Giveaway.

“Don’t wait to enter for your chance to win a Sig Sauer P365 X Macro in 9mm with our new FALCO Holsters A907 Hybrid Holster and Legally Armed America backpack,” said FALCO Holsters Vice President of Sales and Marketing Katarína Zacharová. We’re sponsoring this giveaway to celebrate our recent partnership with Paul Glasco of Legally Armed America. The lucky winner, drawn on Independence Day, will choose the holster’s leather color, stitching, and edge finish,” she added.

FALCO Holsters & Legally Armed America Gun/Holster Giveaway

· Sig Sauer P365 X Macro in 9mm
· Legally Armed America FALCO Holsters A907 edition with FALCO Holster Claw
· Legally Armed America backpack.
· Package valued at more than $925

The FALCO Holsters and Legally Armed American Gun/Holster Giveaway began on April 1, 2023, and will end on July 4, 2023. The winner will be announced on July 5, 2023. The contest allows 12 entries by visiting FALCO Holsters and Legally Armed America websites and social media platforms in the contest link. Click here to enter.

FALCO Holsters A907 Compact Hybrid IWB Holster

The A907 Compact Hybrid IWB Holster has three features that make it practical for everyday carry. “One, the leather backing is especially nice,” said Legally Armed America’s Paul Glasco. “I live in Louisiana, where it’s super-hot and humid. The leather is much more forgiving and comfortable against your skin than Kydex, especially in warm weather. Two, the positive retention of the Kydex itself offers the added assurance of safe, repeatable reholstering. And three, folks will love the ease of removing this holster from their belt when they change clothes or need to use the restroom. The synthetic belt clip is extra-wide and withstands hot climates better than metal. One-handed holster removal solves so many safety issues when it comes to daily concealed carry daily. Leaving your loaded firearm holstered is always the safer option when changing your clothes,” he added.

Combining the comfort of the finest Italian full-grain premium leather with Kydex’s positive retention and durability, the inside-the-waistband A907 is ideal for everyday concealed carry. The hybrid holster features a wide polymer belt clip with an integrated lip for simple one-handed holster removal. An extra layer reinforces the sweat guard and adds comfort and stability. “Adding the FALCO Holster Claw is another way for people to achieve even better concealment,” Zacharová said.

XS Sights Introduces R3D 2.0 Tritium Night Sights for Glock and Smith & Wesson Pistols

Posted on Tuesday, 27 June, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

XS Sights Introduces R3D 2.0 Tritium Night Sights for Glock and Smith & Wesson Pistols

Fort Worth, Texas (June 26, 2023) – XS® Sights is excited to introduce R3D 2.0 tritium night sights. These new and improved second-generation R3D notch and post tritium sights are engineered to give gun owners a brighter, stronger set of self-defense sights that are even easier to install than the original models and built to withstand years of EDC use and abuse.

Designed to drive focus downrange, the new R3D 2.0 sights feature significant improvements from their gen 1 counterpart. The two rear tritium dots are bigger and brighter than those in the original R3D. The new sights also have a PVC ring surrounding the rear sight lamps for a more defined edge to improve sight picture and further differentiate the front dot from the rear sight lamps. The rear sight is also blacked out and serrated to reduce glare. When paired with the high-contrast, orange or green dual-illuminated photoluminescent Glow Dot front sight with a tritium vial, the R3D 2.0 provides more visible indexing for precision alignment. This front sight is wider than many on the market – 0.145” – and its Glow Dot activates after absorbing ambient light to glow in low light while the tritium lamp is self-luminous, glowing in low or no light for 12 years.

Say goodbye to filing and hammering. The new EasyPress features built into the dovetail of the R3D 2.0 rear sight eliminate these steps. XS has paired a crush zone with a lead-in edge which reduces the force needed for installation by up to 50%. The directional lead allows the sight to be pressed over 1/3 of the way through the slide’s dovetail before making full contact. After full contact is made between the sight wall and dovetail, the crush zone begins to collapse, making final installation easy. The new sights also have a BlackNitride finish with double the corrosion resistance of the original black oxide surface treatment.

“R3D 2.0 night sights are a top choice for those seeking advanced precision and accuracy in their everyday carry handguns. Installing them is a breeze with a sight pusher, and once they’re in place, they’ll stand up to years of use,” said Addison Monroe, Marketing Manager, XS Sights. “R3D 2.0 is the brightest notch and post option available. These sights are engineered to align quickly and accurately, especially in low-light conditions, making them ideal for people who rely on their firearms for personal defense in any situation.”

The new R3D 2.0 sights are currently available for the following:

Glock:

All models – Standard height and suppressor height

S&W:

M&P/M&P 2.0 Standard Models (Novak style rear sight) – Standard height
M&P/M&P2.0 C.O.R.E. (optics ready) – Standard height and suppressor height
Shield/Shield 2.0/Shield Plus/Shield OR/Equalizer – Standard height

CNC machined in XS’s Ft. Worth, Texas facility, these rugged R3D 2.0 sights are built to stay on your gun, after drops and countless rounds fired.

Retail Price: $131.99-$142.99

For more information, visit www.xssights.com.

About XS Sights

XS Sights is known for making the fastest sights in any light. For more than 25 years, the XS team has created some of the most innovative sights on the market today for pistols, rifles, and shotguns.

SIG SAUER Partners with Skeleton Crew Adventures to Raise Awareness for Veteran Mental Health

SIG SAUER Partners with Skeleton Crew Adventures to Raise Awareness for Veteran Mental Health

NEWINGTON, N.H., (June 26, 2023) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is pleased to partner with Skeleton Crew Adventures, a charitable organization providing veterans and first responders living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) the opportunity to heal and learn to live with their trauma through sailing experiences. Since the organization’s founding in 2016, Skeleton Crew has led sailing missions across the globe for veterans and is now set to represent the United States in The Ocean Globe Race 2023 to raise awareness for veteran mental health and suicide awareness with the official U.S. cast-off to take place July 12, 2023 from Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

“SIG SAUER is honored to support the mission of Skeleton Crew Adventures, and invites the New Hampshire community to join us for a historic cast-off event as they officially begin their journey from Portsmouth to the September starting point of the race across the Atlantic Ocean in England,” began Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “The Skeleton Crew boat is crewed by U.S. military veterans who are all dealing with mental and/or physical disabilities and have found healing through sailing. The crew is participating in the race for the sole purpose of raising awareness for their mission and bringing attention to veteran mental health issues.”

The official U.S. cast off will occur from the Portsmouth Pier at Prescott Park on Wednesday, July 12, 2023, beginning at 6:00pm. The U.S. Coast Guard will provide an official escort for the crew in the river and the Portsmouth Fire Department will provide a water cannon salute. Portsmouth Mayor Deaglan McEachern will speak. The public is invited to attend and actively participate in sending the team off for the race.

Skeleton Crew Adventures was founded by veteran Taylor Geiger who has dealt with mental health issues resulting from his military service. In 2017, Taylor decided to sail from Pensacola, FL to Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America to raise awareness for the organization. His sailboat was in very poor condition and restored by him personally by watching instructional videos to make this voyage. On his journey he experienced life-threatening challenges and persevered to reach Cape Horn; Taylor’s journey was documented in the documentary “Hell or High Seas” on Amazon Prime. Their journey in the Ocean Globe Race will also be documented.

Ocean Globe Race 2023 is a fully crewed retro sailing race around the world on ocean-going GRP production yachts designed before 1988 without computers, satellites, GPS or high-tech materials. The official start of the race begins from England in September for an 8-month trip around the world. The 2023 sailing of the race marks the 50th anniversary sail.

Women’s Outdoor Media Association Donates $5K to Fallen Blue

Posted on Tuesday, 27 June, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

WOMEN’S OUTDOOR MEDIA ASSOCIATION DONATES $5K TO FALLEN BLUE

Supporting Families of Fallen Officers

FAYETTEVILLE, GA – July 26, 2023 – The Women’s Outdoor Media Association (WOMA), known for encouraging women in the outdoor endeavors of shooting sports, archery, fishing, and hunting, recently presented Fallen Blue with a donation of $5,000. Fallen Blue is a nonprofit organization supporting families of fallen officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting their communities across the United States.

According to WOMA Founder Deb Ferns, “Through our annual charity event, She Never Quit, we raise funds to strengthen those organizations who support our military, our veterans, and our first responders. So many fallen heroes are the breadwinners for their families, and often their loved ones struggle with finances after their loss.”

Fallen Blue allows those left behind to grieve without worrying about finances, Ferns said. “The importance of Fallen Blue’s mission touched our hearts, and we wanted to do something to honor those who gave everything. We are proud to support Fallen Blue and its mission. A special thank you to the folks at Staccato for allowing our Board of Directors to present Retired United States Army Major General Mark O’Neil with our contribution of $5,000 to Fallen Blue in their booth during SHOT Show 2023,” she added.

“After the loss of a law enforcement professional in the line of duty, their families are understandably devastated,” said General O’Neil. ”With so few establishments providing resources Fallen Blue is a beacon to mourning families. It means a great deal that WOMA recognizes the cost police and their families pay to protect our neighborhoods, families, and communities. We are very grateful for their generous donation to Fallen Blue and look forward to manifesting this momentum for programs similar to fallenblueheroes.org and thewoma.org,” O’Neil added.

About Fallen Blue

Fallen Blue is a nonprofit organization that provides emotional and financial support to families of fallen law enforcement officers across the United States. Fallen Blue’s mission is to provide direct relief to these distressed families for necessities such as housing, transportation, medical, or educational costs. The organization is run by volunteers, including law enforcement officers and their families, who are passionate about supporting the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. They want to give back to the heroes and families that gave their all. For more information about Fallen Blue, visit fallenblueheroes.org.

Israel Ministry of Defense is acquiring thousands of IWI-made assault rifles for IDF infantry brigades.

Posted on Monday, 26 June, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Israel Ministry of Defense is acquiring thousands of IWI-made assault rifles for IDF infantry brigades.

25 June 2023, Ramat-Hasharon, Israel: IWI – Israel Weapon Industries – a member of the SK Group (founded by Mr. Samy Katsav), and a global leader in the production of combat-proven small arms for military, police, law enforcement agencies, and governmental entities around the world, will supply additional thousands of Micro-TAVOR (X95) assault rifles for IDF infantry brigades under a new contract.

The contract was signed with the Israel Ministry of Defense’s Department of Production and Procurement – Ground Weapons Division.

The Micro-TAVOR rifle has been in IDF active duty and reserves service since 2006. Its bullpup configuration platform creates an ergonomic and short firearm with a long barrel, giving it superior ballistics compared to other platforms.

The current order is for the 5.56x45mm caliber Micro-TAVOR with a 380mm and 419mm – barrel length. The firearm is equipped with M-1913 picatinny rails enabling the mounting of essential accessories such as sights, lights, and visual and IR illuminators necessary for modern warfare.

This order joins previous IWI contracts for the IDF, such as the Negev LMG (light machine gun) and the 40mm grenade launcher that can be mounted on to the Micro-TAVOR rifle.

Ronen Hamudot, Executive VP Marketing and Sales of the SK Group said: “We are proud of the IDF’s decision to, once again, choose the small arms advanced solutions manufactured by IWI. This is a fruitful cooperation between the company and the IDF that has been in place for many years, and which reflects the Ministry of Defense’s confidence in SK Group’s solutions in the light weapons sector. The Micro- TAVOR advanced design and technology was developed in collaboration with the elite units of Israel Defense Forces (IDF). During its development every technological and ergonomic aspect was taken into consideration. We are proud to say that today it is the standard IDF assault rifle”.

About Micro-TAVOR (X95)

The (X95) Micro-TAVOR is an innovative weapon system that can be converted in minutes to 4 calibers 5.56x45mm, 9x19mm 5.45x39mm and 300 BLK. This leap in innovation makes it possible to use the same weapon platform for highly diverse scenarios. Its compatibility with different ammunition calibers also saves training time and spare parts.

Designed to meet extreme demands in urban and open terrain combat environments
The X95 is manufactured exclusively for Military, Police, Special Forces and Law Enforcement agencies to deal with modern warfare challenges. It is manufactured from high strength impact resistant polymer combined with high grade metal and alloys providing a robust and reliable yet remarkably light weapon.

Exceptionally reliable even in the harshest conditions, the X95 is combat proven by military and police entities around the world. It complies with stringent NATO standards for small arms, including environmental standards.

RAFAEL, DIEHL, HENSOLDT SIGN TEAMING AGREEMENT ON SPICE 250 ER AT LE BOURGET

Posted on Saturday, 24 June, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., Diehl Defence GmbH & Co. KG, and HENSOLDT Sensors GmbH have proudly announced a teaming agreement focused on the modular SPICE™ 250 ER (Extended Range) system. The agreement has been signed by the three parties during a ceremony, held on the Diehl Defence stand at this year’s Paris Air Show in Le Bourget.

Building upon previous successful collaborations, this partnership aims to provide cutting-edge solutions for the German Luftwaffe, featuring unique capabilities and enhancements in specific for the Eurofighter EK and overall LuWES program. The Eurofighter EK program, currently under development, is intended to replace the Tornado Eloka electronic warfare (EW) platforms currently in operation with the German Luftwaffe. Offering the SPICE 250 ER solution, Diehl Defence is getting one step closer to becoming the German Luftwaffe’s prime contractor for airborne ammunition.

This collaboration follows prior agreements between RAFAEL and Diehl Defence on the SPICE Family of munitions. Additionally, RAFAEL’s agreement with HENSOLDT in the Elecronic Warfare domain, including the highly regarded Sky Shield/Kalaetron Wideband Electronic Attack and Escort Jamming Pod, further strengthens the expertise and synergy between the parties. The three parties together cover all necessary expertise to answer current and future demands in regard to stand-off and EW capabilities.

RAFAEL’s SPICE 250 ER system, derived from the combat-proven SPICE Family of highly automated Human-in-the-loop air-to-surface systems, serves as the foundation for this collaboration. The SPICE 250 ER employs a turbojet engine, enabling it to operate at extended stand-off ranges. Therefore, managing to cope with for example today’s long-range Air Defense threats.

With its modularity Spice 250 ER allows for carrying enhanced payloads by replacing the traditional warhead. It now provides Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) capabilities. Furthermore, the SPICE 250 ER incorporates standardized electrical and physical interfaces found across the SPICE Family, optimizing platform integration and reducing the life cycle cost.

By joining forces, RAFAEL, Diehl Defence, and HENSOLDT aim to deliver an advanced solution that meets the evolving needs of modern warfare. The collaborative effort ensures the German Luftwaffe benefits from the combined expertise and state-of-the-art technology contributed by each partner.

Outdoor Edge® Introduces the RazorWork™ Utility/Work Knife in. 2.5-inch Blade and is Now Shipping

DENVER (June 22, 2023) – When Outdoor Edge, the leader in replaceable blade knife technology, introduced the trendsetting RazorWork™ Utility/Work knife in 2020, it offered a reliable, safe 3-inch utility blade with Outdoor Edge’s patented RazorSafe® blade change system. Answering its customers’ demands, for 2023 the RazorWork is now available in a more compact 2.5-inch blade option.
Like the 3.0 RazorWork, this new compact workhorse knife has been made from Japanese 420J2 stainless steel that has been heat-treated and hand-finished to achieve a long-lasting razor-sharp edge. The straight edge design of the utility blade transfers power directly to the cutting edge, making this a great knife for tradesmen and everyday carry, offering a huge cutting advantage when compared to a standard utility blade. When the blade dulls, it can be quickly and safely exchanged with a push of a button for a new blade thanks to the proprietary Outdoor Edge RazorSafe system. The blade is securely seated in a black oxide coated steel blade holder, providing the strength of a traditional knife. The handle is constructed from a lightweight, one-piece, non-slip glass/nylon polymer. Each RazorWork knife comes with two utility blades and is compatible with all 250 blades from Outdoor Edge.
The new 2.5-inch RazorWork is now shipping to retailers across the country and is currently available online at www.outdooredge.com for a suggested retail price of $30.95. For more information on this product and the full line of products from Outdoor Edge visit www.outdooredge.com.
What do the numbers mean?
New for 2023, you will notice all RazorSafe blades and blade holders are marked with a number. This is put in place to ensure you purchase and pack the correct blades. Packaging will not only have the number system but will also have a color-coded system matching knives and blades – just another way to ensure that everyone is getting an accurate match of knife and replaceable blades.

EXTREMA RATIO – M1A1 LAST CALL

Posted on Friday, 23 June, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

M1A1 is the personal interpretation that Extrema Ratio made to pay homage to the historical folder used by the Italian Army.
The original knife was part of the British Army’s equipment during World War II.
At the end of the conflict, thanks to the European recovery plan (Marshall Plan), the Italian Army received some armaments and equipment that were supplied to the allies during the war, including this multifunctional tool.
It was later reproduced in Italy in three modified versions.
Extrema Ratio presents an exclusive last version limited to only 130 pieces to bid farewell to this historic and renowned knife.
Just like its predecessor, M1A1 LAST CALL also features a can opener, a bottle opener, a screwdriver and a marlin spike.
The reversible clip is designed to allow maximum concealment.
The drop point blade, as well as all the other features previously listed, is customized with Geotech Camo, the innovative and original Extrema Ratio laser engraved camouflage pattern.
The locking mechanism is the time-tested liner lock.
The handle is composed of two scales made of anodized anticorodal aluminum in the brand-new Tactical Mud color.

M1A1 LAST CALL is available and can be purchased only on www.extremaratio.com.

FALCO® Holsters Introduces Concealed Carry Bike Bags

Posted on Friday, 23 June, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

FALCO® HOLSTERS INTRODUCES CONCEALED CARRY BIKE BAGS

Holster Series for Road or Mountain Biking

Ft. Lauderdale, FL – June 22, 2023 – FALCO® Holsters, globally recognized for exceptional artisanship in every handcrafted, purpose-built leather holster and innovations in everyday concealed carry solutions, announces a new category of concealed carry holsters designed to attach to bicycles for off-body carry. The new FALCO Holsters G125 attaches to the bike’s frame, while the G126 attaches to the bicycle’s top tube.

“During warmer months, more people are out and about on their bikes,” said FALCO Holsters Vice President of Sales and Marketing Katarína Zacharová. “We recognize the potential danger of falling with traditional, on-body concealed carrying on a bicycle, so we developed two holster variations for attaching your everyday carry handgun to the bike itself.”

“The new Concealed Carry Bike Bags give no indication that there is a pistol or revolver inside,” said Zacharová, “and they hold firmly to your bike with three strong Velcro loops. Even in the case of a fall, these bags keep your firearm, backup gun, and extra magazines protected and secure. They’re ideal for road or mountain biking, and also keep your common items such as wallets, keys, and phone handy for quick retrieval,” she added.

FALCO Holsters Concealed Carry Bike Bags

The G125 Concealed Carry Frame Bike Bag and the G125 Concealed Carry Top Tube Bike Bag conveniently fit micro, subcompact, compact, and full-size handguns while cycling. In addition, they can accommodate guns equipped with tactical lights or lasers. Every bag is constructed from strong ballistic nylon and easily attaches with three distinct and well-placed 3-fold Velcro loops.

Both bag options feature zippers strategically placed for fast, one-handed opening. “Requiring only one hand to open the bag while riding is essential,” said Zacharová. “Plus, the design keeps your contents accessible in all situations.” The Concealed Carry Bike Bags feature a main compartment with an adjustable, removable elastic holster to keep the sidearm secure. “We recommend using your existing IWB holster inside the elastic holster for convenience. Simply move your holstered gun from the bag into your waistband. This means your firearm is never out of sight when leaving your bike.” Click the product images for videos of the FALCO Holsters Bike Bags in use.

SENTRY Products Group™ 1082 Mounting Array Offers 21st Solution to the Age-Old Problem of Packing the Gear

Posted on Friday, 23 June, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

SENTRY Products Group™ 1082 Mounting Array Offers 21st Solution to the Age-Old Problem of Packing the Gear

Refining Individual Load-Carrying Equipment systems, SENTRY Products Group patented 1082 Mounting Array offers soldiers, police, security, and outdoor enthusiast the most customizable mounting platform available on the market.

SENTRY Products Group

Innovations are born out of need. One such example is MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment system) developed in 1997. MOLLE was built on the PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System), which was a grid of horizontal rows spaced 1” apart, providing the user the ability to attach pouches and accessories. These innovations saw rapid adoption across the industry and battlefield, allowing individuals to securely affix pouches and accessories to vests, packs, and belts dependent upon the mission and significantly increasing their capabilities.

While this advancement was significant, problems multiplied as additional gear was issued and intended for use in the limited space. The repeating grid of the PALS system meant that to relocate a pouch, the option was a vertical adjustment of 2”, or a horizontal adjustment of 1”. This restriction limited optimizing gear placement for easy access or as to not restrict movements.

SENTRY Products Group™ developed and patented the 1082 Mounting Array to combat the issues current MOLLE systems face, revolutionizing how a soldier’s kit is worn, and gear is accessorized. This technology is the basis of their Gunnar Series of carriers, vests, belts, and pouches. The advantage to the Mounting Array is that the placement of the apertures significantly multiplies the mounting options available over traditional systems, with relocation increments of ½” vertical and ¾” horizontal allowing for more precise gear placement.

SENTRY has also addressed several issues associated with old-school gear through a combination of material choice and construction methods. The material used is an advanced laminate comprised of 1000 Denier and 500 Denier nylon. Strong, and extremely abrasion resistant, this combination is lighter and more stable than multiple layers or 1000 Denier which was traditionally used. Unlike traditional PALS construction, where the ladders were mounted to the base platform increasing weight and comprising the base structure, the patented 1082 Mounting Array removes material sections to create the Mounting Array. Finally, an attribute of the laminate material is that it is hydrophobic, meaning is does not absorb moisture. For any waterborne operators and operators wearing their kits in damp or rainy environments, this feature keeps their kits from getting waterlogged and adding additional weight.

SENTRY has multiple designs to fit Swimmers Cut and Shooters Cut plates in either traditional or low-profile designs. Sizing is done by the individuals plate size. Shoulder straps are anatomically cut to allow for better load balance, padded for comfort, and adjustable for overall length. The three cummerbund options have the same Mounting Array to accept pouches and accessories, and are available in multiple sizes to adapt to operator waist size.

You can accessorize your kit with SENTRY’s full line of pouches utilizing the same laminate materials for high strength and weight reduction. The pouches utilize SENTRY’s Variable Mounting Platform. This system allows the pouches to be mounted using an integrated lightweight strap, and aftermarket MOLLE straps and clips or ALICE clips. Where available there is also an integrated belt loop attachment in both allowing mounting directly to belt, or strap in either horizontal or vertical positions.

Clearly, this advancement has expanded the functionality of load-bearing equipment allowing operators to configure their gear to meet their mission set.

NSSF Condemns USFWS Proposed Rule to Ban Traditional Ammunition on New Refuge Openings

NSSF Condemns USFWS Proposed Rule to Ban Traditional Ammunition on New Refuge Openings

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, condemns the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Proposed Rule that would ban the use of traditional lead ammunition on 48 new distinct hunting opportunities across approximately 3,000 acres of National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs). This is another illustration of the Biden administration’s Department of the Interior (DOI) and USFWS kowtowing to anti-hunting activists by promulgating policies that lack sound scientific data.

“This is the latest example of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service creating rules that punish hunters, threaten conservation funding and advance special interests without sound scientific evidence that traditional lead ammunition cause is causing detrimental wildlife population impacts,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “This administration is ignoring its promise to ‘follow the science.’ In fact, it is ignoring the need for scientific evidence in order to advance an antigun and anti-hunting agenda. The need for Congress to pass the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act has never been more urgent.”

The USFWS announced three national wildlife refuges are proposing to expand opportunities for hunting. These refuges are Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama, Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge in Florida and Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in Minnesota. The proposed rule, appearing in the Federal Register, includes proposals to phase out lead ammunition at eight national wildlife refuges. USFWS claims to follow the best available science yet offers no peer-reviewed site-specific scientific data to demonstrate traditional ammunition is causing detrimental wildlife population impacts.

NSSF urges Congress to quickly pass U.S. Rep. Robert Wittman’s Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act, H.R. 615, which would ensure America’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. Excise taxes paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers have contributed over $16 billion since 1937, or $25 billion when adjusted for inflation, for wildlife and habitat conservation. It is the leading funding source for wildlife restoration. Over $1.6 billion was apportioned to the states for wildlife conservation projects last year, with $1.19 billion of that sourced to excise taxes paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers. The bill passed the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee on a bipartisan vote earlier this week.

Rep. Wittman’s legislation, along with U.S. Sen. Steve Daines’ (R-Mont.) companion legislation S. 1185 of the same name, would require the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to provide site-specific peer-reviewed scientific data in cooperation with state agencies that demonstrates traditional lead ammunition or fishing tackle is causing detrimental wildlife population impacts before prohibiting their use by hunters and anglers.

The Final Rule published last year to similarly ban traditional ammunition and fishing tackle while opening hunting and fishing opportunities was part of “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.

NSSF urges all outdoorsmen and women to provide comments on the Proposed Rule voicing their concerns that this threat to conservation funding lacks any sound scientific data and only harms participation in hunting and fishing on public lands.

NSSF Disappointed by U.S. Senators Voting Down Pistol Brace Resolution

NSSF Disappointed by U.S. Senators Voting Down Pistol Brace Resolution

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, was disappointed by U.S. senators who voted along party lines in a 49-50 vote to reject H.J. Res. 44, which was passed with a bipartisan vote in the House of Representatives last week.

“This vote was disappointing, if not expected. We are deeply troubled by the unchecked growth of the administrative state that threatens our fundamental rights and liberty,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel.

H.J. Res. 44 was intended to nullify the Final Rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) titled “Factoring Criteria for Firearms With Attached ‘Stabilizing Braces,’” published on Jan. 31, 2023. The Final Rule established new criteria for determining whether a pistol equipped with an attached stabilizing arm brace is a short-barreled rifle (SBR) and thus subject to regulation (and registration) under the National Firearms Act. The Congressional Research Service estimates there could be upwards of 40 million braces that have been lawfully purchased over the past decade after ATF determined affixing a brace did not convert a pistol into a rifle.

Several senators, who face reelections in states where gun rights are critical to voters ceded their authority as legislators to the Executive Branch to unilaterally draft criminal law allowing their constituents to be turned into criminals by administrative fiat.

“These senators must now explain to their constituents why they failed to act to safeguard against the Biden administration’s executive overreach that is chipping away at their fundamental Constitutional rights,” said Keane. “Come election day, NSSF will work to educate gun owners in these states about how these legislators turned their backs on the Second Amendment and failed to uphold their duties as lawmakers who write the law not the Executive Branch. Failing to maintain the balance of power grants unchecked authority to President Biden to run roughshod on citizens’ rights.”

Those senators voting against H.J. Res. 44 and facing tight reelection bids include: Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) and Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.).

After publishing the Final Rule, ATF announced that in order to remain compliant with the new rule, any law-abiding gun owner who possessed stabilizing arm braces attached to lawfully-purchased pistols had 120 days, or until May 31, 2023, to either remove the pistol’s shorter barrel and attach a longer rifled barrel; permanently remove and dispose of the brace; turn in the brace; destroy the brace; or register it with ATF.

Failing to do any of the options presented puts brace owners in jeopardy of criminal enforcement.
