Galco’s No-Slip Sling!

March 2023

Galco’s No-Slip Sling adds extra security to any hunting rifle carried slung on the shoulder! Constructed of the finest Latigo leather, the No-Slip Sling measures a comfortable 2.5” at its widest point, tapering to 1.25” at the included swivels. The sling uses a key-hole adjustment system for easy, tool-free changes in length.

The key to the sling’s slip-free property is a 14.5” long by 2” wide pad made from Galco’s Gripper Shell™ material, stitched to the inside of the sling, which clings to clothing and prevents the sling from slipping off the shoulder.

Available in black or dark Havana colors, the No-Slip Sling includes a set of 1 ¼” quick-detachable sling swivels.

Celebrate March Madness with Big Horn Armory


Celebrate March Madness with Big Horn Armory

Save over $200 on an AR500 rifle or pistol when purchased between March 24 – 31, 2023.

Cody, Wyo. (March 2023)Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is offering 10 percent off, a savings of over $200, any new BHA AR500 semi-auto rifle or pistol purchased directly from the website between March 24 – 31, 2023. BHA is currently shipping the AR500 from stock and a service representative will contact you within 48 hours to discuss options.

The AR500 rifle is an AR rifle like no other. Chambered in 500 Auto Max, BHA’s groundbreaking AR500 Rifle is the most powerful AR firearm available. BHA was not content with the big bore cartridge offerings available in the AR platform, so the company made its own. The logical choice was something to match the power and versatility of BHA’s Model 89 Lever Action in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The result was the development of the 500 Auto Max, a rimless 500 S&W Magnum to feed in a semi-automatic rifle.

BHA’s bold AR design and big bore 500 Auto Max cartridge put an unparalleled amount of power into a pleasant shooting, rapid-firing, versatile rifle. This combination of size, familiar manual-of-arms, available accessories, and energy on target make the AR500 Rifle ready to handle almost any situation. The AR500 is also available in an ATF-compliant pistol configuration: the AR500 semi-auto pistol.



The 500 Auto Max is a rimless 500 S&W Magnum that is easy to obtain or reload. A very versatile cartridge, it can be had in loaded ammunition with bullets ranging from 350grns to an amazing 600grns. The handloader can utilize over 55 different bullets ranging from 200grns to 700grns in almost any bullet type imaginable, including hard cast, jacket hollow points, monolithic solids, etc. This unprecedented range of bullet weight and design make the AR500 suitable for anything from prairie dogs to pachyderms to Peterbilt’s. Truck stopping power in a platform weighing less than 10 pounds. Factory ammunition for the 500 Auto Max is available through Buffalo Bore, Steinel Ammunition, and Underwood Ammunition.

Whether it is packing 36,800 ft. lbs. of energy in a lever-action, or building the most powerful AR on the market, BHA’s goal is to give the customer the biggest bang for his or her buck.

FN Herstal will equip US Air Force’s next generation HH-60W combat rescue helicopter with the FN External Mount Gun System (EMGS).


21 March 2023: FN Herstal to equip US Air Force’s next generation combat rescue helicopter.

In 2016, the United States Air Force launched a major program for 113 helicopters to replace their ageing HH-60G Pave Hawk. Lockheed Martin won the competition with their newly designed HH-60W ‘Whiskey’, built on the state-of-the-art UH-60M Black Hawk. This new helicopter design adds capability advancements to better support the full range of combat rescue (CRH) and other special missions. Particularly, the platform requirements include a robust weapons suite in order to perform critical high risk combat search and rescue and personnel recovery operations for all US military services and allies.

In 2017, Lockheed Martin selected FN Herstal to design, produce, and deliver a new family of Airborne Flex-Fire Weapon System Solutions. The FN EMGS (External Mount Gun System) was born to meet both Lockheed Martin’s and US Air Force’s requirements.

FN Herstal’s innovative spirit to maximize survivability and flexibility: The FN EMGS was designed to provide the customer with an integrated system featuring a specific mounting and interface to install three types of weapons – the .50cal FN M3M machine gun (GAU-21); but also, for the first time in FN Herstal history, third-party guns such as the GAU-18/A (unmodified) machine gun; and the 7.62mm M134 minigun – on the HH-60W windows. It allows suppressive fire against light armored vehicles, suppressive fire in landing zones, and ground and aerial threat suppression. This new system is provided in both Left-Hand Side (LHS) and Right-Hand Side (RHS) configurations. Dedicated ammunition boxes are supplied for each ammunition caliber.

Much more than a conventional weapon system, the FN EMGS also allows side firing crew served operation by the gunner and remote firing by the pilot in fixed forward mode. This unique hybrid solution offers the user the capability to maximize the use of the machine gun in a wide firing window, allowing both lateral and fixed forward protection or target engagement. This full modularity in terms of different machine guns compatibility and dual firing mode allow the aircraft to operate in a wide variety of missions.

FN Herstal CRH Program main milestones:

  • From mid-2016 until mid-2019, FN Herstal designed the new weapon system and manufactured ten different shipset prototypes required to start Lockheed Martin’s qualification process, US Air Force validation, and initial flight operations.
  • From 2020 until October 2022, FN Herstal produced and delivered twenty-five shipsets of a Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP).
  • As per official Lockheed Martin’s news last 12 October 2022, “the US Air Force declared Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for the HH-60W Jolly Green II Combat Rescue Helicopter, validating the platform’s operational readiness to forward deploy Air Force rescue crews around the globe.”
  • In November 2022, after the shipment of the complete LRIP, FN Herstal began a multi-year production and delivery program of Full-Rate-Production (FRP) systems.

DSTA PARTNERS KMW TO TAP ON DATA ANALYTICS AND MACHINE LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES


Singapore, March. 23rd, 2023
– Singapore’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on data analytics.
Established on the sidelines of the Singapore Defence Technology Summit, the agreement paves the way to focus on the use of data analytics as well as machine learning models and algorithms to generate insights for systems operated by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). The aim is to further enhance the efficiency of maintenance and operations for the SAF’s combat vehicles. One of the new areas is the Tactical Support Bridge which DSTA has recently contracted for.
“DSTA recognizes that digitalization is a key thrust in today’s technology landscape, and that it possesses much potential to transform the way we maintain and operate our platforms. This partnership with KMW aims to accelerate DSTA’s ongoing efforts to digitalise SAF’s Fleet Management System to ensure high readiness of various platforms, as well as to reduce both operating and manpower costs”, said Mr. Roy Chan, DSTA’s Deputy Chief Executive (Operations).
“We have been working closely together for more than a decade. This MOU establishes a framework between our two organizations to improve maintenance and sustainability. It also underlines the intention to continue to work together in a spirit of trust”, said Dr. Axel Scheibel, KMW’s Chief Operating Officer (COO).

GPO, German Precision Optics, hit a homerun when in 2023 introduced the SPECTRA red dot reflex sight. It is the best design I’ve encountered for your subcompact and micro-compact CCW pistol, unless you want a mailbox sized optic sitting on your slide. In this review I introduce you to the SPECTRA 3MOA sight.

Extar USA Announces the EP45!

EXTAR Logo

Extar EP45

Lake Havasu, AZ (March 2023) Firearm innovator Extar USA has taken its popular EP9 platform to the next level with a much anticipated .45 ACP version, the EP45!

As requested by consumers, Extar kept the same ultra-compact and light weight design. The EP45 is fed using Glock-pattern pistol magazines and thanks to Extar’s unique recoil system, shoots about as softly as the 9mm does; leaving other direct-blowback designs in the dust and challenging some of the best delayed-blowback options.

Another achievement by Extar with the EP45 was engineering a .45 ACP large-format pistol that could be useful as more than just a range toy.

The EP45 Runs Hollow Points!

Extar EP45

A long-known struggle for many firearms chambered in .45 ACP has been with hollow points. The issue comes from a shorter overall loaded length and lack of a rounded nose to help in feeding.

Extar USA’s Dynamic Feed Control System tackles this issue with a unique system that can run most hollow-point and unconventional projectile designs; turning the EP45 from a range gun into the perfect home or vehicle defense tool but taking advantage of the 45’s naturally efficient energy transfer. Thanks to the 6.5″ barrel users will find that with the right loads the EP45 can generate substantial muzzle energy!

Extar EP45

Specifications:

  • · Caliber: .45 ACP
  • · Barrel Length: 6.5″
  • · Barrel Thread: 5/8-24″
  • · Capacity: Up to 30rd
  • · Magazine: Glock G21 magazine compatible – 13rd Glock brand magazine included (10rd for restricted states)
  • · Overall Length: 23.8″
  • · Overall Height: 7.9″
  • · Overall Width: 2″
  • · Weight (Unloaded): 4lbs. 8oz.
  • · Weight (w/Empty Magazine): 4lbs. 11.2oz.
  • · Bolt & Barrel Finish: BLACKNITRIDE+
  • · Trigger Action: Single-Stage
  • · Charging Handle: Left-Side, Reciprocating
  • · Receiver Extension: Includes EP Pistol Protector Cover. Compatible with our Extar Stabilizer and the SB Tactical SB-Mini, SBL, SBM4, SOB, SBX-K, or SBV braces. Adding a brace may make the pistol fall under the NFA.

As with all Extar USA products, pricing is kept to a minimum by selling direct to consumer. The Adjustable Receiver Extension is available at ExtarUSA.com

Extar EP45

About Extar USA: Since 1995 the personnel behind Extar USA have been redefining possibilities in the firearms industry. Innovations such as the first rifle-caliber polymer receiver sets, the first Glock-type magazine last round bolt hold open for personal defense weapons, and advanced recoil absorbing technologies are Extar USA’s pedigree. Today Extar’s mission is to provide lightweight, fun, and reliable firearms at a price working Americans can afford.

Big Horn Armory Announces Winning Design for Lever-Action T-Shirt Contest


Big Horn Armory Announces Winning Design for Lever-Action T-Shirt Contest

The winning design captures the essence of what makes lever-action firearms so special.

Cody, Wyo. (March 2023)Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is excited to announce the winner of its Lever Action T-Shirt Design Contest. The contest invited designers to submit their best designs for a lever-action-themed T-shirt, and after many submissions and an open voting period to the public, the winning design has been selected.

The winning design, submitted by Able Bratcher, captured the essence of what makes lever-action rifles so special. The T-shirt features a message that will appeal to big-bore lever-action enthusiasts as well as T-shirt collectors. Bratcher will receive the first edition of the T-shirt when it goes into print, along with a $500 gift certificate good for one year to use on any purchase from www.bighornarmory.com.

“Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this contest. I am proud to be associated with a great American company,” commented Bratcher.

“We were blown away by the number of entries we received and the level of creativity each designer brought to the contest,” remarked Greg Buchel, President of Big Horn Armory. “The voters had a difficult decision to make, but we are thrilled with the design that Able submitted.”

The new T-shirt will be inspired by Bratcher’s design and will be available for purchase on BHA’s website in the coming months. BHA encourages everyone to keep an eye out for future contests and promotions.

“We want to thank all the designers who participated in our contest,” added Buchel. “We are excited to share our love for lever-action rifles with this new T-shirt design, and we hope our customers will enjoy it as much as we do.”

CZ-USA’s Top Turkey Shotgun Picks for Tagging Spring Gobblers

CZ-USA’s Top Turkey Shotgun Picks for Tagging Spring Gobblers

Kansas City, KS (March 23, 2023) – Spring gobbler season is firing up, and CZ is making sure hunters are well-gunned as they hit the turkey woods. Two hard-hitting 12-gauge shotgun options will allow hunters to carry more longbeards over their shoulders.

CZ Reaper Magnum is CZ-USA’s over/under designed for max flexibility in those common situations where gobblers either strut into a hunter’s lap or hang up at the outer margins of range. Clad in Mossy Oak Obsession Camo the Reaper is built to slay turkeys with the same 3 ½” chambers of the Swamp Magnum.

The beauty of hunting with an over/under is that each barrel can be equipped with a different choke. A simple flip of the selector switch lets hunters pick which barrel to fire, whether putting an open choke in the bottom barrel for optimal effectiveness at close range or an extra full choke in the top barrel to deliver lethal pellets at longer distances.

Hunters will appreciate the shorter barrels that allow them to be more maneuverable in the woods or blind. The Picatinny-style rail allows hunters to add a favorite optic atop for the best assurance of shot placement. The gun accepts all potent 3 ½-inch turkey loads and all 2 ¾” and 3” loads. At 7 pounds, with a 26-inch barrel and sling swivels front and back, the Reaper Magnum is easy to carry and maneuver. It comes with five extended interchangeable chokes.

CZ 612 Magnum Turkey is created for the turkey woods. This pump-action shotgun sports an effective springtime camo pattern in the Mossy Oak obsession and comes equipped with two chokes. One choke is extra-full to deliver maximum pellets to the gobbler’s kill zone, and the other is modified for upland hunting and steel shot.

The 612 Magnum turkey comes with a rail that can be added atop the receiver for an optic of choice. The 8mm flat vent rib has a bead at the muzzle, weighs 6.8 pounds, accepts 3 ½-inch, 3”, and 2 ¾” shotshells, and has a 26-inch barrel.

CZ Reaper Magnum Specifications:

  • · SKU: 06588
  • · Chambering: 12-gauge
  • · Barrel Length: 26-inch
  • · Chokes: 5 Extended Black (Cyl, Mod, Imp Mod, Full, Xtra-Full)

VORTEX EDGE™ LAUNCHES YOUTUBE SERIES FOR NEW GUN OWNERS

March 22, 2023

BARNEVELD, Wis. – It’s no secret an unprecedented number of new guns owners have joined our community in recent years, including 5.4 million in 2021 alone. And, while resources like YouTube are full of useful content for gun owners in general, help for brand new shooters is harder to find. New to Guns is a YouTube series from Vortex Edge that fixes that problem, talking directly to new gun owners buying and using firearms for the first time.
In
New to Guns, we take as close to a “zero assumptions” approach as possible while explaining the buying, owning, and use of firearms. Pistols, AR-15’s, precision rifles, hunting rifles, and everything related to these guns will be covered in our weekly videos.
Because our crew has decades of firearms experience, and it’s easy to take many of the things we consider “no-brainers” for granted, we encourage questions and callouts in the comments section. We’re committed to responding to as many commenters as possible, making these videos an interactive conversation that’s welcoming to new shooters.
Find
New to Guns on the Vortex Edge™ YouTube channel. In coming episodes, we’ll be buying new pistols both in-person and online demystify the entire process. We’ll also talk buying ammo, accessories, optics, and of course putting it all together on the range for the first time.

“New to Guns – Why You Need a Pistol.”

Lithium Pros® Newest Addition To Their Trolling Motor Series: The TM24100 12.8V 100ah Lithium Ion Battery

Fish All Day With Lithium Pros® Newest Addition To Their Trolling Motor Series: The TM24100 12.8V 100ah Lithium Ion Battery

Knoxville, TN (March 22, 2023) – While trolling is one of the more entertaining–and rewarding– forms of fishing, it does require more effort, gear, and a trolling motor battery that can last from daybreak to sunset. Traditional lead-acid batteries are heavy, cumbersome, and take hours to recharge, costing anglers valuable space, weight, and time that could be better spent with their lines in the water. Lithium Pros® newest addition to their Trolling Motor (TM) Series of Lithium Ion batteries solves all of the problems associated with traditional lead-acid batteries; at a price point that makes sense for any dedicated fisherman.

Lithium Pros’ Trolling Motor series of batteries is specifically designed for trolling motors and other deep-cycle marine applications. The TM24100 Lithium Ion Trolling battery was explicitly manufactured to upgrade standard BCI group 24 lead-acid batteries and is intended to provide power to 12V trolling motors, 12V marine electronics, electric motors, motive power, and other forms of energy storage. It is perfect for trolling motors up to 36V. As with all Lithium Pros’ lithium-ion batteries, the TM24100 is powered by top-quality lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry and is built with the best lithium-ion cells tested to the UL1642 standard.

A single TM24100 Trolling Motor battery contains more stored energy that a typical Group 31 AGM battery and yet fits in a typical group 24 case. At only 26 lbs., it weighs even less than one standard lead-acid battery.

The TM24100 offers 100 amp hours (1280 whr) and 230 reserve minutes of energy, so you can fish from dawn till dusk. Then, it recharges up to five times faster than a traditional lead-acid battery, so you’ll be ready to do it all over again at first light. The TM24100 provides a cycle life of over 2000 cycles, so you can troll every day, all day, without worrying about your battery.

Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries contain no toxic materials and emit no harmful gasses, so they’re a positive environmentally-conscious choice. Additionally, the TM24100 Trolling Motor battery features one of the most advanced internal battery management systems in the industry. The system detects over and under temperature, voltage, and current, as well as short circuits, and then automatically balances the cells to protect the battery if necessary.

Conveniently, the new TM24100 Lithium Ion Trolling battery can be charged with any existing 12V AGM compatible battery charger without a desulfation mode. It has an IP65 water-resistant, durable housing, ready to go wherever you need it!

For dedicated anglers who will benefit from a trolling motor battery that is safe to use, reliable, recharges quickly, offers superior charge efficiency, and has enough battery life to last all day, the Lithium Pros TM24100 12.8V battery is the one to choose.

TM24100 12.8V 100ah Lithium Ion Trolling Battery Features:

  • · Great for trolling motors up to 36V
  • · High-power lithium ion phosphate
  • · Lightweight design
  • · Advanced internal battery management system
  • · Contains no toxic materials
  • · Emits no harmful gasses
  • · Can be charged with a typical AGM battery charger (without a desulfation mode and with a float voltage of less than 13.6V and an output voltage of less than 14.6V.)

TM24100 12.8V 100ah Lithium Ion Trolling Battery Specs:

  • · 12.8V
  • · 100 Amp Hours (1280 Wh)
  • · 230 reserve minutes
  • · BCI group 24 size (10.23 in. L x 6.61 in. W x 8.24 in. T)
  • · IP65 water-resistant
  • · 26 lbs.
  • · 2000+ cycles

About Lithium Pros

Lithium Pros was founded in 2011 and focuses on building lithium-ion batteries with the specific purpose to replace lead-acid batteries for use in demanding applications. They strive to uphold the ideals detailed in their mission statement: “Through constant innovation, create high-power lithium-ion battery packs that are safe, easy to install, and start an engine like nothing else.”

Grey Man Introduces the New Vehicle Rifle Rack

Grey Man Tactical™ Introduces the Vehicle Rifle Rack – Rubber Clamps + 12.25 X 21 RMP™ [Nut & Bolt]

Lafayette, LA – Grey Man Tactical™, a leading provider of mounting solutions introduces the all-new Vehicle Rifle Rack – Rubber Clamps + 12.25 X 21 RMP™ [Nut & Bolt], removing the need for backer plates. The package is designed to provide optimal storage solutions, while reliably and securely transporting firearms and gear within a vehicle. The compact design of the 12.25 X 21 RMP™ provides a smaller profile than the previous 15.25 X 25 RMP™ Vehicle Rifle Rack Package.

The updated RMP™ design allows rubber clamps to be mounted without the use of aluminum RMP Backer Plates™, using integrated slots.

The Vehicle Rifle Rack – Rubber Clamps + 12.25 X2 1RMP™ is built to last and withstand the toughest conditions from everyday use. Rubber Clamps are designed to securely hold your firearm in place, preventing any shifting during transportation.



“We are thrilled to offer gun owners a reliable and secure way to transport their firearm in their vehicle,” said Grey Man Tactical CEO, Paul Capdepon. “The Vehicle Rifle Rack is an excellent solution for those who need to stow their firearm while driving, while also having quick access at a moment’s notice.”


The Vehicle Rifle Rack – Rubber Clamps + 12.25 X 21 RMP™ [Nut & Bolt] contents include:

  • QTY 1 – 12.25 X 21 RMP™

For more information on the Vehicle Rifle Rack – Rubber Clamps + 12.25 X 21 RMP™ [Nut & Bolt], visit www.greymantactical.com.

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.

Big Horn Armory Mourns the Loss of its Friend, John Linebaugh

Big Horn Armory Mourns the Loss of its Friend, John Linebaugh

John Linebaugh, 67, of Clark, Wyoming, passed away on March 19, 2023.

Cody, Wyo. (March 2023)Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is saddened by the recent loss of its dear friend and industry legend, John Linebaugh. Linebaugh passed away on March 19, 2023, at his home. A fellow Wyomingite, Linebaugh was an American gunsmith who gained international renown for creating custom revolvers in the largest calibers in the world. He invented the .500 Linebaugh caliber — the first successful .50 caliber revolver (and cartridge) in 1986. He is also credited with inventing the .475 Linebaugh cartridge, which he perfected in 1988.

“John was a pioneer in the use of big bore, heavy bullets in handguns. He predates Smith & Wesson’s 500 S&W by almost 20 years. They probably would not have created the X Frame guns without his inspiration,” commented Greg Buchel, president of Big Horn Armory.

He continued, “his handguns were near perfection. The first time I fired one of his guns many years ago was at a range event he and I both attended. He handed me his gun out of his holster. The first thing I noticed was how perfect the fit and function were. It wasn’t necessarily the prettiest gun I ever saw, but even after years of use and who knows how many rounds it fired, the gun was mechanical jewelry.”

The friendship between BHA and Linebaugh began at the Wyoming Outdoorsman Annual fundraiser several years ago when Linebaugh approached Buchel at his table. After chatting for a while, the idea for a collaboration was born. The idea was discussed several times in the following months, and one night over a couple of bourbons, the two decided to produce a limited edition, super-premium boxed set containing one 500 Linebaugh lever gun and one 500 Linebaugh revolver. Included would be exhibition-grade wood, octagon barrels, and color case hardened receivers all packaged in an oak presentation box.

“John’s work and friendship will never be forgotten. We have truly lost one of the greats. Our entire Big Horn Armory family sends our deepest condolences to his family and to all who were blessed to know him,” said Buchel.

About Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

“Team Winchester is off to an amazing start in 2023 and these individuals once again showed off their superior talents at the highest level of competition,” said Jason Gilbertson, director of marketing for Winchester Ammunition. “We are honored to continue our support of the Gator Cup, Powered by Winchester, and we thank the Fanizzi and Hemingway families for their continued hard work and hospitality.

VORTEX OPTICS NEW ADDITION TO THE STRIKE EAGLE LINE OF RIFLE OPTICS, THE STRIKE EAGLE 3-18X44 FFP MOA

20230310_092212 (002)

Prior to the introduction of the Strike Eagle 3-18×44 FFP Vortex Mid Tier rifle optics consisted of a 1-6×24, 1-8×24 and 5-25×56 leaving the line with a need for intermediate to longer range tactical optics. That gap was filled with their 2023 introduction of the STRIKE EAGLE 3-18X44 FFP MOA. At its price point the new rifle scope is the best performing optic for your DMR platform on the market.  I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review it and share it with my readers.

CZ 75-Series Compact Pistol Comparison

CZ 75-Series Compact Pistol Comparison

Kansas City, KS (March 21, 2023) – CZ-USA continues to build three compact 75-series pistol models at lower prices, each with a unique feature set tailored to individual shooting needs. All models are double-stack high-capacity 9mms and share a common magazine size.

For nearly five decades, CZ built several pistol models around the esteemed CZ 75 design–a lineage carried forward in these modern compact models. The CZ 75 is renowned for its comfortable grip, smooth factory trigger system, and distinctive slide-in-frame design. The current compact versions of these pistols include the 75 Compact, 75 PCR, and 75 P-01.

They inherit the best features of the CZ 75 design, including its comfortable grip, smooth factory trigger system, and distinctive slide-in-frame design. The main differences between models are their overall weight, whether (or not) they have an accessory rail, and if they use a thumb safety or a decocking lever.  

The CZ 75 Compact is a smaller version of the classic double-action CZ 75. It retains the steel frame of its big brother with a shorter barrel and grip, making it more concealable while maintaining most of the weight of the full-sized model for recoil reduction. It utilizes a manual safety and features fixed metal three-dot sights for a sharp sight picture and fast target acquisition. Compared to the CZ 75 B, the trade-off for its smaller size is reduced magazine capacity to 15+1.

CZ 75 PCR is named after the ‘Police Czech Republic’ and is designed for law enforcement and military use. The PCR retains the basic design of the 75 Compact but features a ¼-pound lighter forged alloy frame. CZ beefed up the frame to enhance its strength, giving it a slightly wider profile. A more significant departure from the 75 Compact is the switch to a decocking lever in place of the thumb safety. The PCR adds a snag-free rear sight and a loaded chamber indicator to its features list. A set of forward serrations give the PCR an extra gripping surface to rack rounds into the chamber, which is helpful on the low profile of the CZ 75’s slide-in-frame design.

The CZ 75 P-01 stemmed from the CZ tactical pistol development program. CZ added an accessory rail and a frame dust cover to the P-01, enhancing its performance and reliability. At the same time, they use a forged alloy frame and a decocker system like the PCR. Finally, engineers replaced the snag-free sights with fixed three-dot sights.

When deciding between models, shooters consider several factors. The ability to mount a light or laser to the pistol limits the choice of the P-01. The 75 Compacts’ steel frame adds weight that soaks up recoil and will be very familiar to those who run the full size CZ 75. The PCR is the lightest and least bulky pistol in the compact line and makes an excellent concealed carry pistol.

GPO’s SPECTRA 6X 4.5-27x50i SFP: The Ultimate Long-Range Hunting Riflescope

RICHMOND, Va. (March 20, 2023) — Designed as the ultimate long-range, high-performance riflescope, the German Precision Optics (GPO) SPECTRA 6X 4.5-27x50i SFP has been built to give premium performance for those who hunt game in environments where shooting at extended ranges is often required.

“The SPECTRA™ 6X 4.5-27x50i second focal plane is our ultimate long-range hunting scope,” said Michael Jensen, GPO, USA owner and CEO. “It has every bell and whistle the most discerning shooter and hunter desires in a second focal plane design. And while the quality and features meet or exceed that of more expensive brands, it’s offered at a very affordable price.” With a second focal plane riflescope, the reticle is placed behind the magnification lenses on the erector tube assembly, and the reticle remains the same size as the scope’s variable power is turned up or down, making a fine subtension ballistic reticle with an illuminated center micro-dot for longer shots.

The SPECTRA™ 4.5-27x50i SFP’s large 50mm objective lens system transmits a great deal of light to your eye, while the 4.5-27X variable power range gives you ample magnification for both close and the longest-range shots. Throw in the proprietary iCONTROL™ microdot illumination and shot placement on dark targets will make you a believer. This scope comes standard with DoubleHD™ objective lens technology with fully-multi coated lenses, iCONTROL illumination, PASSIONtrac™ ZERO-STOP-LOCK turrets to assist your shooting scenario. The turrets provide +/- 30 inches/MOA of adjustment range at 100 yards. The new SPECTRA 6X 4.5-27x50i SFP features:

* GPObright: A proprietary coating process that maximizes light transmission through each surface of an optical element. As light hits an optical surface, normal uncoated high-performance glass can reflect up to 5 percent of that light, redirecting this light so it does not transmit through the optical system. However, when these high-performance lenses are vacuum coated with GPObright lens coatings, up to 99.7 percent of the available light passes through each optical surface. Furthermore, when every surface of the entire optical system is properly coated, total light transmission can reach up to more than 92 percent, making the optical image of a GPO binocular or riflescope “bright,” even in the lowest light conditions.

* Double HD Objective Lens Technology: This is the final product, created when multiple extra-low dispersion lenses are chemically laminated to make a single, multilayer high-performance optical lens. Laminating multiple lenses minimizes light reflection on the surface of multiple lenses, creates enhanced resolution and color contrast images, and minimizes chromatic aberrations. This benefit is clearly visible with all GPO products supporting this feature. This high-performance process is routinely found in the photographic market and with the highest-quality photographic lens manufacturers but has now transitioned into premium sporting optics.

* iControl Illumination: This assures users always have a live battery by automatically powering down the illumination when the electronic module has been stationary for more than 3 hours, and alerts users when the battery has only 15 percent remaining battery life.

This scope is crafted from a one-piece 30mm anodized, nitrogen-filled aluminum main tube that has zero-stop locking turrets, precise ¼ MOA click adjustments, CCW click rotation, removable magnification throw lever, 3rd turret parallax adjustment, fast focus ocular, and multiple rotation engraving. It will be available in the spring of 2023 for a suggested retail price of $1249.99.

All GPO products are backed by the best lifetime warranty and service in the industry, GPO’s exclusive Spectacular Lifetime Warranty™. The SPECTRA 4.5-27x50i SFP comes with a cleaning cloth, see-through flip cap ocular and objective lens scope covers, and CR2032 battery.

CZ P-10 Pistols Offer Great Performance at a Great New Price

CZ P-10 Pistols Offer Great Performance at a Great New Price

Kansas City, KS (March 20, 2023) – CZ takes striker-fired guns to the next level with its ever-growing P-10 family. Whether it’s the compact P-10 C, the pistol that started it all, or the sub-compact P-10 S, all P-10 pistols feel right in hand. With CZ reliability, engineered ergonomics, and well-known and new features, P-10 pistols are the complete package for any shooter. Now, CZ is proud to announce the P-10 M has recently been reduced to $299, the P-10 S, C, and F have been reduced to $399, the P-10 S, C, and F Optics-Ready guns reduced to $449, and the P-10 Optics-Ready Suppressor-Ready C and F models have been reduced to $499.

All P-10 series pistols are engineered for reliability, outstanding accuracy, extended service life, and shooting comfort. The barrel and fiberglass-reinforced frame and slide feature an incredibly durable finish, protecting them from mechanical damage and the elements.

The P-10 trigger design minimizes creep and stacking. After an initial break-in, the pull averages a clean 4.5-5 lb. pull. The trigger delivers accurate shots and effortless follow-ups thanks to its short, positive reset.

The pistol is drop-safe, combined with the automatic striker block. The automatic striker block prevents the premature separation of the trigger bar and spring-loaded striker bar unless the trigger is pulled completely to the rear. The partial pre-cocking, even if the striker safety fails, the striker doesn’t have enough power to ignite the primer. The striker of the P-10 is a partially pre-cocked system. Cycling the slide pre-cocks the striker to 60%.

P-10 pistols include three safety features: trigger safety, trigger bar safety, and a firing pin block safety. Together these safeties safeguard the user if the pistol drops accidentally and in high-stress situations. Also, the P-10s have a loaded chamber indicator which allows for an external visual check to see if there’s a round in the chamber.

CZ P-10 M Specifications:

  • · MSRP: $299.00
  • · Caliber: 9mm Luger
  • · Capacity: 7+1
