NSSF Applauds Gov. DeSantis Signing Anti-ESG Law

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, applauds Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for signing HB 3, legislation the governor made a priority earlier this year. HB 3 will prevent “woke” corporations with discriminatory policies against firearm industry members and other businesses from collecting taxpayer dollars through state contracts and pensions. Simply put, the Sunshine State will choose to do business with those companies that do not discriminate based on an industry they may not like or with which they disagree politically.

“This is a promise kept by Governor DeSantis. He said he would ensure that ‘woke’ corporations would not benefit from Florida’s tax dollars while those same corporations actively discriminate against lawful but disfavored businesses. Today, Governor DeSantis delivered on that promise,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for NSSF. “The firearm industry is deeply grateful to the legislators who worked diligently to protect industries that are wrongfully denied essential financial services simply because ‘woke’ Wall Street banks politically disagree with them. Wall Street can choose to hold on to those ‘woke’ discriminatory policies but Governor DeSantis has made it clear that Florida will choose to do business with those that share Floridians’ values.”

The legislation builds on a ban Gov. DeSantis signed last year prohibiting “woke” Environmental, Social and Governance investment strategies with state and municipal pension funds.

Gov. DeSantis explained at the signing ceremony that ESG policies that discriminate against politically-disfavored industries are antithetical to free market enterprise and have no place in Florida.

“Last year we said we were going to take action against something called ESG. It stands for something called environmental and social governance. But what it really is is an attempt by elites to impose ideology through business institutions, financial institutions, and our economy writ large,” Gov. DeSantis said, according to Florida Politics. “ESG is basically just window dressing for doing what these people want to do. … It’s really an elite driven phenomenon. They’re trying to change society. They’re trying to change policy.”

PROOF Research® Greg Hamilton and Nightforce Optics Sean Murphy Take Home 1st Place in Dark Corner Concepts Real World Sniper Challenge

The team of Hamilton and Murphy start 2023 at the top of their game with precision rifles outfitted with PROOF Research® barrels in the grueling three-day sniper challenge.

Columbia Falls, Mont. (April 2023)PROOF Research®’s Weapons Test Specialist, Greg Hamilton, and Sean Murphy of Nightforce Optics have won first place at the Real World Sniper Challenge presented by Dark Corner Concepts.

The Real World Sniper Challenge is a highly anticipated event that attracts some of the world’s most skilled precision rifle shooters. The competition is known for its challenging and realistic scenarios, designed to test the participants’ shooting abilities and tactics in real-world situations.

Besides accomplishing navigation, construction, detection, and stalking tasks, along with K.I.M.S. and casualty care, the teams engaged in targets at known and unknown distances in alternate firing positions.

Hamilton and Murphy proved their exceptional skills by taking first place in the competition, beating out a talented field of competitors. The duo’s performance showcased their superior teamwork and ability to adapt to the various challenges presented to them throughout the competition. The team credited much of their success to their hardware. Sean sported a PROOF Research 24” carbon fiber 6.5 Creedmoor, pre-fit barrel on his Accuracy International, and a PROOF Research 11.5” carbon fiber barrel on his gas gun. Greg ran a PROOF Research 20” stainless steel barrel on his 6.5 Creedmoor gas gun.

COSAINT ARMS DONATES DOUBLE STACK CUSTOM 1911 TO TENNESSEE FRIENDS OF THE NRA

(East Flat Rock, NC) – Cosaint Arms, a leading manufacturer of custom firearms, announced today that they have donated a custom NRA Double Stack 1911 pistol to the Tennessee Friends of the NRA.

“We are proud to donate this custom NRA Double Stack 1911 pistol to the Tennessee Friends of the NRA,” said Greg Mooney, President of Cosaint Arms. “Our production custom process ensures that every gun is developed with the customer to ensure they get the gun they want, not a production gun they have to change once they get it.

New Product Release: AR Duty Line Triggers

New Product Release
AR Duty Line Triggers

The design of our new Duty Line was driven by feedback from military and law enforcement operators. They wanted our patented Zero Creep Technology and proven stainless steel internals, but with a more tactile feel. To achieve this, we more than doubled the pull weight and length of the first stage. And after the zero creep break we engineered a much more forceful reset. The result? A totally different feel that offers more certainty with every shot. The Duty Line is TriggerTech’s interpretation of what Mil-Spec should be.

MSRP $129.99! (USD)

Patented TriggerTech AR Safety
Did you know we offer an AR Safety with a few very special features? Our engineers had their thinking caps on when they developed our AR safety. 

Designed to maximize performance with TriggerTech AR15 triggers our patented AR Safety features 45° and 90° interchangeable throws, our own proprietary ball tip detent pin, and the grip does not have to be removed to install / remove the safety – making cleaning and trigger changes quick and easy! 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
Thank you and Happy Shooting!

AG Composites’ Continued Growth a Testament to Product Quality

AG Composites’ Continued Growth a Testament to Product Quality

OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala.  (May 1, 2023) — One building block of the American dream is the nation’s entrepreneurs, hard-working visionaries that create small businesses producing high-quality products made by dedicated employees and sold at a fair price. When these small businesses show exponential growth, it’s a sign both that their products meet the needs of consumers, and that the company is one that values its workforce. This describes AG Composites to a “T.”

When brothers Dave and Matt Tandy founded AG Composites in 2014 they wanted to build the best carbon fiber composite rifle stocks in the world. Typical small-town kids, both went into the military, then their lives separated for several years in aerospace and engineering fields until they came together again. By then, Dave – a competitive cycler who was studying the design and aerodynamics of carbon fiber bicycles — was building carbon fiber housings and telescopes for astronomers around the world. He and Dave, both hunters, decided to build rifle stocks inletted for the extremely popular Remington 700 action and common clones.
In the ensuing years AG Composites weathered the typical ups and downs of a small business start-up. Today, however, the company is both thriving and growing. “AG Composites is not the type of company to sit back and think we have it all figured out,” Matt Tandy said. “We are constantly looking at new technologies and materials in our endless pursuit to produce products that offer outstanding value and excellent performance for our customers. We are incorporating cutting-edge manufacturing such as 3D printing while continuing to research the latest advancements in materials.
The company utilizes modern design software from Solidworks and AutoDesk to create Computer Aided Design (CAD) models of every stock manufactured. The AG Composites engineers bring their aerospace industry CAD modeling experience to every stock designed. In addition, the company uses only the highest-quality carbon fiber, epoxy, and paint products to manufacture its premium line of rifle stocks. Consistency, efficiency, cost control, and frequent quality control checks are the primary drivers of each step in the manufacturing process and allows the company to produce top quality stocks in the fraction of the time of its competitors.
“We’re able to continue to grow not just because of our look-to-the-future philosophy, but also because of the people we employ,” Tandy continued. “When we first started there was Dave, myself, and our wives, Laurie and Angie, crammed into a behind-the-house hybrid garage-barn. As the business expanded, we’ve gone from 30 employees in 2020, to 45 people in 2021, to 65 people in 2022. By the year’s end we will nearly double that number of employees. We are currently running our day shifts seven days a week, and a night shift Monday-Thursday.
“We strive to be a place where our people look forward to coming to work every day,” Tandy continued. “We offer incentives, bonuses, a great environment where it is enjoyable to come to work each day.
“Currently we employ lots of military veterans, as well as a handful of disabled people recommended to us by Project SEARCH. In our area, Project SEARCH is a program in which the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services has teamed up with Huntsville Hospital locally to provide real-life work experience combined with training in employment and independent living skills to help young people with significant disabilities make successful transitions to productive adult life in the area. It’s been fabulous.”

Must Have #305 Package From Grey Man Tactical

Lafayette, LA – Grey Man Tactical™, a leading provider of mounting solutions introduces the all-new #305 Vehicle Locking Rifle Rack – Scottlock™ 15.25 X 25 RMPX™. Designed by active duty law enforcement officers, the #305 package is a robust, portable security system that securely stores your rifle during transportation. This customizable storage solution is the ideal choice for anyone wanting to secure their rifle and gear.

Constructed of two steel plates, the Scottlock™ is covered with a military-grade polymer coating with a protective foam that protects the rifle’s trigger, safety, magazine release, and assembly pins from being tampered with.

“We pride ourselves on creating gear that aid the men and women who defend us and our country,” said Grey Man Tactical CEO, Paul Capdepon. “Being able to support law enforcement and first responders is what we are about.”

The Vehicle Locking Rifle Rack – Scottlock™ – 15.25 X 25 RMPX™ Package contents include:

  • QTY 1 – 15.25 X 25 RMPX™
  • QTY 1 – Locking Rifle Mount – Scottlock™ LE

GMT™ Guarantee:

Grey Man Tactical™ warranties its products against defects in workmanship and materials. If you have a defective product, we will gladly replace it at no cost to you. This does not apply to third party products.

About GMT™:

In 2012, Paul Capdepon lived in an area where he preferred the contents of his personal gear to not be known. He carried a nondescript commuter-style backpack and wanted the ability to organize EDC-type gear. Not finding a suitable option, Paul decided to adapt the traditional MOLLE-style grid and designed the first Rigid MOLLE Panel™ to insert into any backpack with a 15″ laptop sleeve.

After receiving interest in the Rigid MOLLE Panel™ Paul had made for his own gear, he decided to launch a basic website in 2014 to begin selling them. Paul worked with local manufacturers from his home state of Louisiana as the demand for expanding the range of RMP™ sizes quickly increased. GMT™ has performed extensive testing and evaluations in the most adverse and demanding conditions. GMT™ then incorporated customer feedback to optimize performance in creating a dependable organizational platform.

The RMP Series™ has since been utilized by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies – specifically the DOS, DOJ, DHS, FBI, USMS, USBP, NYPD and LAPD to US Armed Forces, including the US Army, USAF, USN, USMC, USCG and USSOCOM – with implementation in missions assigned across Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and surrounding areas of operation. As a result, the RMP Series™ has yielded over 1,000 Five Star Reviews in our efforts to make critical gear rapidly accessible.

It is our ongoing passion to serve the prepared citizens, outdoorsmen, Law Enforcement, First Responders and Armed Forces communities, and we look forward to continuing to create gear that enables you to perform at the highest standard.

FortKnight Optics Exclusively Uses ZEISS Lenses for Precision Tactical Eyewear

Optimized for the shooting sports, the exclusive Ballistic HD & Free Range HD Lenses by ZEISS give unparalleled optical clarity and breakthrough polarization technology so you can see every detail when on the range.

FortKnight Optics Exclusively Uses ZEISS Lenses for Precision Tactical Eyewear

Optimized for the shooting sports, the exclusive Ballistic HD & Free Range HD Lenses by ZEISS give unparalleled optical clarity and breakthrough polarization technology so you can see every detail when on the range.

Vancouver BC, Canada (April 2023)FortKnight Optics, a leading provider of high-performance eyewear, is proud to offer the shooting sports community a cutting-edge solution for optimal vision on and off the range. FortKnight Optics exclusively uses lenses by world-class ZEISS, the leading manufacturer of precision optics, to provide unparalleled performance and protection in a stylish package suitable for the shooting range or everyday wear. A key feature that sets FortKnight Optics apart is the utilization of ZEISS lenses, available in clear and sun lenses.

ZEISS’ ballistic clear lenses provide up to 70 percent greater visual clarity compared to standard lenses. The 308 Ballistic Clear glasses give the wearer a clearer view of targets and a distortion-free sight picture. Whether using spotting scopes, open sights, or firearm-mounted optics, these glasses will give the wearer the edge needed to hit the mark. The lightweight polymer frames of the 308 Ballistic Clear glasses are designed for all-day comfort and optimized for use with ear-pro. They feature ANSI-rated impact protection, ensuring the wearer’s eyes are protected from any accidental impacts or flying debris. In addition to their safety features, these glasses also feature ZEISS lens coatings for premium performance. These coatings are the same as those found in premium riflescopes and ensure one gets the best anti-fog, scratch-resistant, hydrophobic/oleophobic durable coatings. The Ballistic Clear glasses are the best fit for small to medium/narrow face shapes. For those with larger/wider face shapes, check out the 338 Ballistic Clear glasses.

In addition, FortKnight Optics also offers sun versions of its lenses, which utilize a revolutionary new polarization technique from ZEISS called LightPro Technology®. These new plano sun lenses by ZEISS offer the benefits of polarized lenses cutting annoying glare, and the depth perception and visual details of non-polarized lenses. They provide up to 80 percent greater visual contrast and will not dim electronic screens or illuminated reticles, ensuring a clear and unobstructed view during shooting activities. Unlike traditional polarized lenses, FortKnight Optics’ sun lenses also avoid the “rainbow blur” many people associate with polarized lenses when looking through glass or shooting optics. Furthermore, all lenses by FortKnight Optics are impact-rated, providing reliable protection during shooting activities.

The 308 Free Range Sunglasses are designed for those who will not settle for less than the best, featuring FortKnight Optics’ exclusive FrontSight HD lenses by ZEISS. These sunglasses are designed to give the wearer the clarity one needs to identify threats, get on target faster, and get accurate hits downrange. The FrontSight HD lenses by ZEISS are just the beginning of the 308 Free Range Sunglasses’ impressive features. These shooting glasses have lightweight polymer TR90 frames, making them comfortable to wear for long periods. They also have extreme scratch resistance, meaning one can take them with you on any mission without fear of damage. Anti-fog ventilation ensures that one’s vision remains crystal clear, even in the most humid conditions. Additionally, the glasses have premium ANSI Z87 impact protection for one’s eyes, ensuring safety on the range or in the field. The 308 Free Range Sunglasses are the best fit for small to medium/narrow face shapes. For those with larger/wider face shapes, check out the 338 Free Range Sunglasses. These are the perfect addition to a range bag and are made in small runs, ensuring the customer always has the latest technology at their fingertips.

Experience unmatched performance and protection with FortKnight Optics and ZEISS lenses for an enhanced shooting experience like never before.

About FortKnight Optics:

FALCO® HOLSTERS, PROUD SPONSOR OF A GIRL & A GUN NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Ft. Lauderdale, FL – April 27, 2023 – FALCO® Holsters, globally recognized for exceptional artisanship in every handcrafted, purpose-built leather holster, is a proud bronze sponsor of the eleventh A Girl & A Gun National Conference held at the Cameo Shooting Complex in Palisade, Colorado from April 27 through 30.

According to FALCO Holsters Vice President of Sales and Marketing Katarína Zacharová, “The ‘AMPLIFY 2023’ event hosted by A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League is a fantastic opportunity for us to share our enthusiasm for the education and empowerment the organization fosters for women shooters. As a company that boasts an executive leadership team made up of seventy-five percent women, FALCO recognizes the value of supporting A Girl & A Gun’s mission. We’re happy to provide some lucky attendees with FALCO swag and various Concealed Carry Bags.”

The AG & AG National Conference is special because it’s about training and camaraderie, said Robyn Sandoval, Executive Director of A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League. “We have women representing 105 different chapters from across 45 different states! They range in age from 16 to 76 and represent all walks of life. They come together – sometimes three generations of a family – to the range to learn how to protect themselves, to improve their marksmanship skills, to learn how to be better competitors, to try a different platform or brand, or to just grow as a person with an incredible experience.”

Sandoval added, “Our programs have grown out of necessity for ranges to offer women’s-only training, women’s resources, and recurring engagement that develops relationships in the store as well as women’s confidence in visiting that store or range regularly. We are thankful to sponsors like FALCO Holsters who recognize the importance of our impact in the women’s marketplace for shooting sports,” she said.

“As a manufacturer of everyday carry options for people around the globe, sponsoring this conference affords FALCO a unique opportunity to reach more than 1,200 enthusiastic women shooters, instructors, and volunteers during the event,” said Zacharová. “We’re proud to support such an inspiring and far-reaching event.”

SnapSafe® Modular Safes – A Modern and Movable Firearm Security Solution

SnapSafe® Modular Safes – A Modern and Movable Firearm Security Solution

Grand Island, NE (April 27, 2023) – The firearms industry has a long-standing problem. Installing a heavy modern gun safe is only possible with the help of professionals, and in many cases, moving it is not an option once installed! SnapSafe® has solved that problem. SnapSafe engineers have created an innovative, modular safe that’s delivered in pieces and fitted in place. Its robust design offers security equal to traditional welded safes. Some models have the extra-large capacity required to store extensive gun collections yet still boast the flexibility to move them anywhere. That’s the SnapSafe modular safe advantage!

SnapSafe Modular Safes combine the robust security of a conventional welded safe with the benefit of placing them anywhere in a home or business without hiring professional movers. Depending on the model, SnapSafe Modular gun safes accommodate 12 to 56+ long guns and include adjustable shelves for flexible storage configurations. SnapSafe Modular safes protect firearms and other valuables from fire and theft.

AeroVironment Awarded $64.6 Million Contract by U.S. Army for Switchblade 300 Loitering Missile Systems

AeroVironment Awarded $64.6 Million Contract by U.S. Army for Switchblade 300 Loitering Missile Systems

Contract includes first-time Switchblade system foreign military sales to two allied nations

ARLINGTON, Va., April 26, 2023 – AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) received additional funding of $64,565,126 on March 24 from the U.S. Army Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions (TAGM) project office for the procurement of Switchblade® 300 loitering missile systems. This most recent firm-fixed-price contract increases the total funded amount of Switchblade systems under the original U.S. Army contract to $231,331,651. The contract will be managed by the U.S. Army Contracting Command, Redstone Arsenal, and the systems are scheduled to be delivered by July 2024.

AeroVironment’s combat-proven Switchblade 300 loitering missile systems have been deployed by the U.S. Army for more than a decade and are currently providing real-time ISR and precision strike support on battlefields in Ukraine. Ideal for use against beyond-line-of-sight targets, Switchblade systems were approved by the U.S. government for use by Ukraine and additional nations after the start of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. This new U.S. Army contract includes foreign military sales of Switchblade 300 for the first time to France and another allied nation, expanding Switchblade’s footprint internationally.

“Switchblade 300 continues to be a critical weapon in the armed forces of Ukraine’s unmanned systems arsenal,” said Brett Hush, AeroVironment’s vice president and product line general manager for Tactical Missile Systems. “This new contract further demonstrates the global demand for production-ready, combat-proven Switchblade 300 missile systems. We’re honored that Switchblade 300 continues to support the U.S. military and our allies.”

The backpackable Switchblade 300 offers operators the flexibility to rapidly maneuver and employ the system on the ground. Real-time video, GPS coordinates, and wave-off capabilities provide the operator confidence in precisely attacking key targets.

This contract award follows an August 2022 contract modification for additional funding by the U.S. Army for procurement of Switchblade 300 loitering missile systems.

GA-ASI Announces FY23 Congressional Funding of Gray Eagle 25M for Army National Guard Units

clip_image002

GA-ASI ANNOUNCES FY23 CONGRESSIONAL FUNDING OF GRAY EAGLE 25M FOR ARMY NATIONAL GUARD UNITS

SAN DIEGO – 26 April 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) announces that the Army National Guard (ARNG) has received fiscal year 2023 Congressional funding for 12 new Gray Eagle 25M (GE-25M) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

The funding comes after Army National Guard States, which make up 45 percent of the U.S. Army’s combat divisions, requested GE-25Ms to make ARNG Divisions Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) capable, deployable, and better able to team with newly formed Division Artillery Brigades (DIVARTY). They will also be available to support domestic missions, such as homeland defense and disaster response, as needed.

“The GE-25M UAS is a very versatile aircraft,” said GA-ASI Vice President of DoD Strategic Development Patrick Shortsleeve. “Gray Eagle is a valuable tool that gives the ARNG capabilities that match the organizational and doctrinal Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA) requirements of active Army divisions with up to 40 hours of continuous flight.”

GE-25M is equipped with the new Eagle-Eye multi-mode radar and electro-optical/infrared sensors, and can host a wide range of additional kinetic and non-kinetic payloads. Equipping ARNG Divisions with organic GE-25Ms makes possible the necessary mission planning, targeting, communications, detailed coordination, and realistic training needed to employ the systems successfully in combat. GE-25M will allow ARNG Divisions to have Divisional ISR for the first time.

The Gray Eagle UAS has a proven record of performance with millions of hours of safe operations, including automatic takeoff and landing capability. The aircraft excels as an enabler for Fires, Maneuver, Network, and Intelligence operations. It is also an integral part of the Army Aviation team, working closely with manned rotary-wing systems to achieve overmatch against pacing threats.

Delivery of GE-25M capability to the ARNG will deepen the skill and experience of the whole force. Not only will the aircraft enhance the lethality of the United States’ strategic reserve, but it will also spread the operational burden more broadly. ARNG Gray Eagle companies will be able to deploy to operational theaters and conflicts where, to date, only Regular Army Gray Eagle units have been supporting deployments.

(GA-ASI), an affiliate of General Atomics, is a leading designer and manufacturer of proven, reliable remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) systems, radars, and electro-optic and related mission systems, including the Predator® RPA series and the Lynx® Multi-mode Radar.

NSSF Files Challenge Against Washington Gun Ban

April 26, 2023

NSSF Files Challenge Against Washington Gun Ban

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, filed a lawsuit against Washington’s Attorney General Robert Ferguson and John Batiste, Chief of Washington State Patrol, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief from state authorities enforcing HB 1240, the law that bans the sale and transfer of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) and many other firearms. The lawsuit was filed within hours of Gov. Jay Inslee’s signature by Clement & Murphy, PLLC.

NSSF, along with other plaintiffs, is challenging Washington’s MSR ban, demonstrating that it violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court held in Heller that the Second Amendment protects the rights to keep and bear arms “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” There are over 24.4 million MSRs in circulation today, more than there are Ford F-150s on America’s roads.

“NSSF will not stand idly by as politicians cleave away fundamental Constitutional rights from Americans,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The right to keep and bear arms that are commonly owned belongs to law-abiding citizens. Politicians in Washington exceed their authority when they usurp those rights to mollify radical special-interest groups. These politicians violate their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution and the rights of the citizens they represent.”

A recent Monmouth poll showed national support for “assault weapons” bans continues to drop. More Americans oppose banning MSRs than those supporting a ban. Just 46 percent of Americans support such a ban, while 49 percent said they would oppose a ban. That is a nine point drop in less than a year when the same poll was conducted in June 2022, following the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas.

NSSF is joined in the suit by Amanda Banta, a 2012 Olympian for Team USA and 10-year member of the U.S. Rifle Team and resident of Spokane, Wash. NSSF is also joined by NSSF-member company Sharp Shooting Indoor Range & Gun Shop, Inc., of Spokane, which accounts among its MSR customers the Kitsap County Sheriffs Office. The Range, LLC, of Yakima, Wash., also joined the suit, along with Aero Precision, LLC, a firearm manufacturer, in Tacoma, Wash., also an NSSF member company.
