GA-ASI’S SECOND BLUE MAGIC NETHERLANDS DOUBLES IMPACT

Nov. 18 Event in Eindhoven Highlights Innovation Across Dutch Tech Ecosystem

SAN DIEGO – 10 December 2025 – On November 18, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and its Blue Magic Netherlands (BMNL) partners held their second “shark tank” style event in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The event brought together emerging Dutch companies and attracted more than 350 attendees. BMNL provided Dutch businesses with an opportunity to present their capabilities for possible investment from GA-ASI, as well as other companies. The 16 companies that made pitches were selected from a pool of more than 70 companies that represented the best of the best of Dutch industry.

“Blue Magic uncovers new technologies within the Dutch ecosystem,” said Brad Lunn, GA-ASI Managing Director. “The quality of the innovation we’re seeing is improving rapidly. The growth of the event is a testament to the quality it brings forward.”

During the second BMNL event, held at Brainport Eindhoven — a center of the Dutch high-technology industry — GA-ASI and its partners heard firsthand from Dutch companies about the important capabilities they are developing. GA-ASI issued an open invitation to Dutch businesses in July for Netherlands-based businesses to apply for the opportunity to present their innovative technologies at BMNL. Key areas of focus for the presentations were Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Autonomy, Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, Sensors, Space, and Counter-UAS.

GA-ASI was joined for the second BMNL event by the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Netherlands Ministry of Defence, Lockheed Martin, Brainport Development, Brabant Development Agency (BOM), and the Netherlands Industries for Defence & Security (NIDV).

GA-ASI expects to announce technology partnerships stemming from the second BMNL event and intends to continue holding this event on an annual basis in the Netherlands.

New Scanner Spots Drone Parts Inside Bags

As drones become cheaper, smaller, and easier to modify, security teams face a growing challenge: many threats do not appear in the sky—they arrive hidden inside luggage, backpacks, or cargo. Once inside a restricted area, these components can be reassembled into functioning UAVs capable of surveillance, disruption, or targeted attacks. Traditional perimeter sensors offer no defense against a drone that is built inside the perimeter.

According to NextGenDefense, a new X-ray–based detection system aims to address that gap by identifying drone components before they enter sensitive locations. The technology integrates artificial intelligence into conventional X-ray workflows, enabling screening teams to spot assembled or disassembled UAV parts during routine inspections. Instead of requiring manual analysis, the system uses machine-learning models trained to recognize materials, shapes, and construction patterns commonly associated with consumer and custom-built drones.

The problem being solved is twofold. First, drone incidents are rising sharply—regulators have reported significant increases in illegal incursions and unauthorized flights near critical facilities. Second, attackers have begun circumventing external drone defenses by smuggling parts in pieces and rebuilding them inside restricted zones. AI-assisted X-ray screening provides a way to intercept those components long before they become airborne threats.

The system is intended for checkpoints at airports, energy facilities, defense installations, and other high-risk infrastructure. It can be added to existing X-ray stations without major workflow changes, allowing operators to receive automatic alerts when the software detects suspicious items. Because the tool identifies characteristic materials as well as known shapes, it can flag improvised or partially assembled designs that may evade manual screening.

Integrating this capability into a layered counter-drone framework adds a valuable early-warning layer. While perimeter radars, RF detectors, and jammers track drones already in flight, AI-enhanced X-ray detection focuses on preventing threats from entering the site in the first place. Together, these tools could reduce the likelihood of hostile UAVs appearing unexpectedly inside protected zones.

The system is currently being evaluated in live operational settings by multiple security agencies. Developers are also exploring interoperability with counter-UAS platforms and electronic warfare tools, paving the way for unified drone-defense architectures that span both entry-point screening and aerial detection. If successful, the technology could shift counter-drone strategies toward earlier, more proactive interdiction.

Introducing the Most Accurate Lever-Action Ever Built

Posted on Wednesday, 10 December, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Henry Repeating Arms Unleashes the Most Accurate Lever-Action Ever Built

RICE LAKE, Wis., December 9, 2025 — Henry Repeating Arms, one of the country’s leading firearms manufacturers and the world leader in the lever-action category, has launched a new product from its performance-oriented Special Products Division called the SPD PREDATOR – the most accurate lever-action rifle ever built and the only one backed by a three-shot sub-MOA guarantee from the factory.

Built on the same advanced architecture as the Lever Action Supreme Rifle, recently named 2025 Rifle of the Year by Guns & Ammo, the SPD PREDATOR adapts that award-winning platform for smaller, more agile targets, longer distances, and rapidly changing shot opportunities. The result is a lightweight, yet stable, suppressor-ready rifle optimized to deliver the precision needed for successful predator and varmint hunting.

In testing, the Special Products Division team made repeated one-mile shots, an unheard-of feat for any lever-action. At the core of its performance is a match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel tension-wrapped in carbon fiber for improved rigidity, faster cooling, and reduced weight. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 to accept a suppressor, giving hunters major advantages when pursuing predators, including reduced recoil, a quieter sound signature for improved communication in calling setups, and help preventing spooking multiple animals during a stand.

A forged carbon-fiber Picatinny rail offers a rock-solid foundation for LPVOs or high-magnification predator optics, allowing hunters to transition seamlessly between fast shots and precise long holds. The gray laminate buttstock and forearm provide weatherproof durability and include an adjustable comb system to ensure a repeatable cheek weld for consistent accuracy. The factory-tuned trigger breaks at a crisp four pounds with end-user adjustability, and MSR-pattern magazine compatibility adds flexibility in the field. Each rifle ships with a Harris S-LM bipod for immediate, stable shooting support.

“The SPD PREDATOR represents a leap forward for the lever-action category,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder & CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “The team set out to create a rifle that meets the demands of serious predator hunters, and they delivered something truly groundbreaking. This is a lever-action that competes squarely with precision bolt-action rifles, while preserving the quick follow-up shots and nimble form factor that hunters love about lever guns.”

Every SPD PREDATOR is engineered, built, and individually certified by an SPD engineer in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and backed by Henry’s Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

About Henry Repeating Arms:

Henry Repeating Arms is one of the leading firearm manufacturers in the United States and a world leader in the lever action category. The company’s motto is “Made in America, Or Not Made At All.” Every Henry firearm comes with a Lifetime Warranty and a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee backed by award-winning customer service. Henry Repeating Arms employs over 800 people and has 400,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space in Rice Lake and Ladysmith, Wisconsin. The company is also known for its Guns for Great Causes charitable program, which focuses on assisting the families of sick children, children’s hospitals, military veteran organizations, law enforcement, first responder groups, Second Amendment advocacy groups, and wildlife conservation organizations. The company is named in honor of Benjamin Tyler Henry, who invented and patented the Henry lever action rifle in 1860 – the first practical repeating rifle and America’s unique contribution to the international stage of firearms design.

In compliance with Assembly Bill 1263 passed on October 11, 2025 PMM will no longer be able to sell any products to California residents or ship any products to California.

We do not have the staff or means to comply with the guidelines set by this new law and have made the decision to prohibit all sales and shipments to the state of California. On December 12th, PMM will no longer be accepting sales from the state of California. Maybe it’s time to start thinking about leaving the communist state of California.

Crafted for Her: Akkar USA’s Ladies Country Over-Under Shotgun Delivers Fit and Function

Posted on Tuesday, 9 December, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Crafted for Her: Akkar USA’s Ladies Country Over-Under Shotgun Delivers Fit and Function

North Kansas City, MO (December 8, 2025) – North Kansas City, MO (September XX, 2025) – Tailored fit and performance are the hallmarks of Akkar USA’s Ladies Country shotgun series, a premium over/under line designed for the female figure. A precisely designed stock caters to women, ensuring an optimal fit and improved handling and control. The Ladies Country comes dressed to kill with a choice of barrels, an engraved receiver, and Akkar’s proprietary OxyCap high gloss finish. Ladies Country shotguns turn heads and crush targets in the field and at the range.

Redesigned stock dimensions set the Ladies Country apart. Rather than shoehorning a fit from a standard stock configuration, Akkar set out to shape the stock to fit female proportions. Comfort and fit are critical factors in shooting well. Like the perfect pair of jeans, women who shoulder the Ladies Country will immediately feel the difference a customized stock makes.

With options of 28-inch and 30-inch barrel configurations in 12-gauge and 28-inch barrels in 20-gauge, shooters can choose the sweet spot of balance, swing, and weight that feels right. Both gauges have lengthened forcing cones to help reduce recoil. Additionally, the Ladies Country features a 7mm flat rib, which enhances sight alignment and target acquisition.

Automatic ejectors provide quick and smooth shell ejections, allowing for faster follow-up shots. But there’s more! By swapping one simple part, customers can easily convert the auto ejectors to simple, easy-to-control extractors. It’s the best of both worlds, adding versatility.

Akkar USA features five extended Mobil chokes for enhanced shot patterns, as well as quick-change convenience. Akkar’s factory chokes perform exceptionally well; however, featuring the common Mobil thread pattern, the shotgun also accommodates specialty aftermarket options.

A user-friendly and intuitive tang safety and barrel selector are easy to operate, ensuring that shooters can focus on their performance without distraction. Coupled with the female-friendly stock design, operating the shotgun quickly becomes second nature.

Each shotgun features a graceful and intricate engraved receiver, reflecting a timeless beauty that stands out in any collection. A durable, high-gloss OxyCap finish enhances the shotgun’s visual appeal while providing resilience against the wear and tear of a well-loved shotgun.

Like all Akkar shotguns, the Ladies Country comes with a 5-year limited warranty and a commitment to quality and performance. The Akkar USA Ladies Country is the ideal choice for women who value comfort and performance. Visit a local gun shop and try a Ladies Country on for size.

Akkar USA Ladies Country Features:

Chamber Size: 2 ¾–3-inch chamber
Choke System: 5 extended mobile chokes
Barrel: 28-inch or 30-inch barrels with 7mm flat rib
Ejection/Extraction: Auto ejectors (convertible)
Safety: Tang safety & barrel selector
Stock Style: Tailored stock for women
Finish: OxyCap finish & elegant engraving
Warranty: 5-year warranty

Akkar USA Ladies Country Specs:

Gauge: 20, 12
Barrel Length: 28-inch, 30-inch
Color Of Metal: Oxy Cap High Glossy Engraved

Galco’s Masterbilt Master Agent Rig now available for 2" – 3" S&W K-frame revolvers!

Galco’s Masterbilt Master Agent Rig now available for 2″ – 3″ S&W K-frame revolvers!

December 2025

Now available for 2″- 3″ S&W K-frame revolvers!

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

Small frame revolvers never went out of style and are more popular than ever. With the Masterbilt Master Agent™ Rig, Galco has resurrected two popular features for shoulder carry of revolvers: an open front design and diagonal gun angle.

The open front feature offers the smoothest draw, since no retention straps or other devices need to be overcome. Yet, the Master Agent retains the revolver perfectly by the use of an adjustable tension unit.

The positioning of the holster’s swivel keepers hearkens back to Galco’s original Jackass designs. The butt-down/muzzle-up diagonal configuration is universally acknowledged as the best combination of draw speed and concealability.

Available in black, the Master Agent features detailed hand-molding for a beautiful appearance and superior firearm retention. The tan, smooth leather lining provides increased tactile feedback on the draw while easing wear on more-delicate handgun finishes. The refinement of leather lining is not only practical – it also enhances the overall look and feel of a hand-crafted premium holster.

The full-grain, single-sided leather harness mates to an off-side elasticized nylon strap. The strap’s alligator-style clip can be attached to the waistline of the trousers, or can be connected to the optional-use, provided belt loop. The harness strap measures 2.5” wide at the shoulder, bringing outstanding comfort – especially with a lightweight, small frame revolver.

We’re in the “Revolver Renaissance,” and there’s never been a better time for wheelgun aficionados or concealed carriers who prefer the safety and reliability of a good revolver. The Master Agent is the perfect companion to the small frame carry revolver. Get yours today.

SFT Season Of Giving – Answering Without Hesitation

Posted on Tuesday, 9 December, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Donate Today!

“It was the middle of the night when I made the call. One of my men needed help — real help — and I didn’t know who else to turn to.”

This testimonial comes from a Special Forces leader who carries the weight that every good leader knows too well:

the responsibility not just for the mission, but for the men who carry it.

He told us how one of his soldiers was spiraling — overwhelmed, exhausted, fighting battles no one could see. The leader had tried every official pathway, every internal resource, every available channel… but the need was immediate.

And immediate solutions don’t always exist inside the system.

“I didn’t need paperwork or process. I needed someone who would pick up the phone.”

So he called Special Forces Trust.

Not during business hours.

Not with advance notice.

But in the middle of the night.

And the Trust answered.

“They didn’t hesitate. They didn’t ask for forms. They didn’t make it complicated.

They said, ‘We’ve got him. Tell us what he needs.’”

Working side‑by‑side with him, SFT coordinated immediate support — ensuring his soldier received help quickly, confidentially, and with compassion. No barriers. No delays.

But what struck this leader most wasn’t just the response…it was what it represented.

“Knowing the Trust is there — day or night — changes everything.

It means my men aren’t alone. And neither am I.”

For leaders, that’s powerful.

For soldiers, it’s life‑changing.

For families, it’s hope.

Your generosity is what makes that 2 a.m. answer possible — the reassurance that when a leader reaches out with urgency, the Trust will always pick up.

During this Season of Giving, we ask for your support to ensure we can continue the programs that stand ready — any hour, any day — for the Regiment.

Discover America’s Favorite Shoulder Systems

Posted on Monday, 8 December, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

HOME | HOLSTERS | AMMO CARRIERS | BELTS | FAQ

While slightly different in purpose, shoulder and chest holsters both serve to get the weight and bulk of a handgun off the belt line. This is often much more comfortable, especially with heavier handguns.
For the outdoorsman, a chest holster can also get the gun clear of other items used for hunting and fishing. For the concealed carrier, a vertical or horizontal shoulder system can be easily hidden with outstanding comfort.
