C&H Precision Weapons Recognized as the Fastest Growing Manufacturer in the Southeast Region

Richmond Hill, GA (March 1, 2023) – Inc. Magazine announces that C&H Precision Weapons is ranked as the fastest growing business in the manufacturing sector and 16th overall among privately held companies in the southeast (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, South Carolina and Tennessee).  This prestigious list ranks companies by their percentage of revenue growth over the two years of 2019-2021.  In that period, C&H posted an impressive increase of 1606%. 

When asked about the source of the company’s success, said Buck Holly; C&H founder and President, “our rapid growth and success is rooted in a great product and perfect timing, but the bulk of our success is due to our fantastic employees and their daily dedication to serving our customers. The best thing is that we’re just getting started.  Our motto is ‘no quarter given.’  We’re here to stay.”  C&H is regarded as the industry authority for pistol optics mounting solutions, and their innovative patented technology has earned them contracts from numerous federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.  In addition to their ever-evolving line of optics mounting adapters, C&H recently launched their first in-house family of electronic dot optics.  “I’m excited about the new C&H Optics launch,” said Holly.  “We’re shooters, so we understand what shooters need and want.  Our optics line will give them the best value on the market.”

“It’s not surprising to us that C&H Precision is recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America,” said Development Authority of Bryan County (DABC) Chairman Jon Seagraves.  “We have seen firsthand the tremendous success and growth C&H has had over the last several years due to the hard work and dedication of the company’s leadership and staff.  We want to congratulate them for this well-earned recognition and look forward to seeing them continue growing in our community.”

Birchwood Casey Donates Targets to NSSF’s First Shots Program

Birchwood Casey

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is pleased to announce that Birchwood Casey, part of GSM Outdoors, has again shown its support for the First Shots® introduction-to-target-shooting program with a generous donation of 10,000 Shoot-N-C targets.

First Shots is an introductory and refresher program made available through host target-shooting ranges across the country. With interest in firearm ownership at record high levels, First Shots programs are meeting the demand for education and experiences in the classroom and on the range.

Birchwood Casey has been a longstanding partner of First Shots. The company has a 70-year history of providing professional-grade gun care and refinishing products to its customers, as well as its Shoot-N-C targets. The company’s familiar red, white and blue labels are a mark of its products sought by gun owners nationwide.

“NSSF’s First Shots program is grateful for this donation of Shoot-N-C targets as well as past support from Birchwood Casey,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Member Development. “These targets reinforce the fun and sense of accomplishment for new and returning target shooters, and they help both instructors and students with their training. The targets are a valuable component to the First Shots experience.”

“Birchwood Casey is proud to be a supporter of NSSF’s First Shots program. First Shots fills an important role by providing that supportive first step for those interested in getting involved in the shooting sports or who want to get back on the range again,” said Tiffani Hogan, Marketing Director, GSM Outdoors.

By providing educational experiences that are safe, fun and memorable, First Shots host ranges are having great success in attracting first timers, further engaging new gun owners and in reactivating lapsed participants. Surveys show that more than 43 percent of First Shots participants are converted to target-shooting enthusiasts who individually spend on average more than $600 annually on their shooting sports endeavors.

NSSF provides host ranges with all the program materials and promotional resources to help offset overall event expenses. Participants are provided handbooks, safety literature and hearing and eye protection for their time spent on the range.

Shooting ranges and firearm instructors can learn how to become a First Shots host here or by contacting Ann Gamauf at 203-426-1320 ext. 247.

If you’re interested to learn about firearm safety, range etiquette and the basic firearm fundamentals to get you on target, find a First Shots seminar near you!

U.S.M.C. Plans on Divesting Itself of the Scout Sniper Program–Has someone lost their mind?

U.S.M.C. Scout Sniper Platoons have and continue to be one of the most effective fighting units in U.S. Military History. Apparently “The change is part of Force Design 2030 (FD2030), the Marine Corps’ ongoing and controversial effort to reinvent the service for future warfare.”

As John Kenneth Galbraith says: “If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.”

Smith & Wesson® Releases New 9mm Pistol Carbine: Introducing the M&P® FPC™

SPRINGFIELD, MA., (2/28/2023) – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, is proud to introduce its new folding pistol carbine, the M&P® FPC™.

Chambered in 9mm, the optics-ready FPC has a length of 30 ⅜ inches and a compact folded length of 16 ⅜ inches. It comes equipped with three double-stack M&P pistol magazines, including one 17-round and two 23-round mags. This new carbine features an integrated recoil buffer system, ½-28 threaded muzzle, and in-stock magazine storage for making reloading fast and efficient. The horizontal folding mechanism of the FPC provides a locking latch to enable secured transport and prevents interference with most top-mounted optics or accessories.

“The team at Smith & Wesson aimed to design a pistol carbine that was compatible with various M&P series pistol magazines. We exceeded that initial desire by introducing side-folding mechanics that deliver a unique compact feature and allow the user to keep their sight system mounted on the gun both in the folded and extended positions. Extra magazine storage in the buttstock, familiar M&P fire controls and reliable palmswell grip adaptors all make this new pistol carbine a great addition to the M&P family,” said John Myles, Senior Manager of New Products.

Additional features include a handguard with an upper Picatinny rail and M-LOK® slots for accessory mounting capabilities, a flat-face trigger design that offers a crisp single-action trigger break, and four interchangeable palmswells for maximum comfort. The M&P FPC also comes with a carrying bag designed with multiple Velcro® storage compartments to secure additional equipment for easy transport. This new folding pistol carbine is proudly made in the U.S.A. and has an MSRP of $659.00.

“The MCEC is simply a larger venue, and this is the primary reason for our decision,” said Justin Giddings, Chief Executive Officer of LAND FORCES organizer AMDA Foundation.

“AMDA Foundation’s mission is to promote Australian industry. The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre’s size and world-class facilities will allow us to showcase more Australian and overseas companies and develop exciting new display options.

“Melbourne is renowned as a highly attractive business destination, with excellent international connections, accommodation and amenities. Visitors to LAND FORCES 2024 at the MCEC will be enjoying a world-class event right in the heart of one of the world’s most beautiful cities.”

LAND FORCES incorporates a three-day conference program, international industry exhibition and formal networking functions.

The event provides a platform for engagement between Government, Defense, Army, industry and academia on issues and capability for the Australian Army and the armies of Australia’s international partners. It attracts companies, visitors and official delegations from around the world, creating potential export opportunities for Australian industry.

MQ-9B SEA-GUARDIAN | Multi Mission RPA - YouTube

GA-ASI SELECTED FOR JAPAN MARITIME SELF-DEFENSE FORCE MALE RPAS PROJECT

Trial Operation Using SeaGuardian® RPA Scheduled to Begin in April 2023

SAN DIEGO – 27 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), the global leader in Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), is pleased to be selected to support the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MALE) RPAS Trial Operation Project. The project will feature GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SeaGuardian® and will begin in April 2023.

SeaGuardian will be used to conduct various tests to review adaptability to support JMSDF’s manned-unmanned teaming missions and its level of manpower reduction. The Japanese government announced that Japan Coast Guard and JMSDF will be exchanging the data obtained by the MQ-9Bs operated for each of the government’s branches.

“We’re pleased to support the JMSDF’s trial operation with our SeaGuardian UAS,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “We know there is a need in Japan and worldwide for affordable long-endurance airborne surveillance in the maritime domain.”

SeaGuardian features a multi-mode maritime surface-search radar with an Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging mode, an Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver, and a High-Definition – Full-Motion Video sensor equipped with optical and infrared cameras. This sensor suite enables real-time detection and identification of surface vessels over thousands of square nautical miles and provides automatic tracking of maritime targets and correlation of AIS transmitters with radar tracks.

SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® are revolutionizing the long-endurance RPAS market by providing true all-weather capability and are built to achieve Type Certification based on STANAG-4671 (NATO standard) airworthiness compliance. This feature, along with GA-ASI’s operationally proven collision avoidance radar, enables flexible operations in civil airspace.

Alien Gear Holsters Photon Holster Named Official Holster of the Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.)

Posted on Tuesday, 28 February, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

Alien Gear Holsters® Photon Holster Named Official Holster of the Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.)

Alien Gear Holsters® supports the mission of Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) to bring an end to child exploitation and sex trafficking.

Post Falls, Idaho (February 2023) – Alien Gear Holsters®, designers and manufacturers of American-made holsters and firearms accessories, and the Rapid Force™ line of Level 2 and Level 3 Duty Holsters, announce a significant collaboration with Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), a 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to permanently eradicate child sex trafficking worldwide. As part of this partnership, all O.U.R. Operation Teams will be equipped with Alien Gear Holsters’ new versatile Photon holster.

Operation Underground Railroad was founded in 2013 and brought together former CIA, past and current law enforcement, and highly skilled operatives to lead coordinated identification and extraction efforts around the world in conjunction with local law enforcement. O.U.R.’s efforts continue after rescue with assistance and aftercare, as well as providing appropriate information to assist with prosecution. O.U.R. has supported over 1,000 operations with 6,000 plus survivors recovered and 4,000 more predators taken off the streets and internet and arrested.

“Human trafficking is a global crisis, and the most vulnerable victims are children sold into slavery. Alien Gear Holsters is honored to partner with Operation Underground Railroad and bring awareness to this tragedy while supporting their efforts to save as many lives as possible,” Sandi Little, COO of Alien Gear Holsters, commented. “The Photon holster system is a perfect fit for their operatives requiring a holster that is concealable and very versatile.”

The Photon holster debuted at the 2023 SHOT Show®. Unlike other holsters currently on the market, the Photon is feature-rich and highly versatile. It is ambidextrous, IWB and OWB compatible, and is sidecar ready for the optional mag carrier. Additional features include an optic cut-out, light, threaded barrel, and high/co-witness sight compatibility. And the Photon is adjustable for cant, ride height, and retention.

ASA & Silencer Shop backed Lawsuit filed in Illinois

Posted on Tuesday, 28 February, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Lawsuit filed in Illinois…

February 27, 2023
For more information contact: info@suppressor.org

Today, the American Suppressor Association Foundation (ASA-F) and Silencer Shop helped file a lawsuit against the State of Illinois, alleging that Illinois’ ban on suppressor ownership and possession is an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment.

“The American Suppressor Association Foundation has always believed that the Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding Americans to possess and own suppressors.  After last summer’s Bruen ruling, we knew it was time to get to work on a case that would apply the Second Amendment’s protections to the States,” said Knox Williams, ASA-F’s Executive Director.
“This case argues that suppressors are covered by the Second Amendment’s protection of the right to keep and bear arms, and that Illinois’ flat-out ban on suppressor ownership is therefore unconstitutional,” said Chris Boeck, ASA-F Board Member and General Counsel of Silencer Shop.  “We’re optimistic the courts will agree with our interpretation, and extend the right to own suppressors to the people of Illinois. Suppressors offer critical hearing protection, reduce recoil, and improve accuracy. They facilitate communication and situational awareness while hunting, at the range, and during urgent moments of self-defense. They make firearms safer.”
Williams continued, “the standard of review laid out by the Supreme Court in its Bruen decision last summer requires Illinois to justify its ban on suppressor ownership by showing that the ban is consistent with ‘the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.’  Since there has never been a nationwide ban on suppressor ownership, and since suppressors are neither dangerous nor unusual, we are confident that Illinois will not be able to justify its ban to the court.”
Illinois’ ban on suppressors is on borrowed time.  ASA-F and Silencer Shop are confident that this lawsuit will open up the door to legal suppressor ownership in the Prairie State.

GA-ASI Performs Cold Weather Validation Using MQ-9B SkyGuardian

Posted on Monday, 27 February, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

MQ-9B SkyGuardian | General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.

GA-ASI PERFORMS COLD WEATHER VALIDATION USING MQ-9B SKYGUARDIAN®
Validation Flight Satisfies the Cold Weather Operational Capability
Needs for Nordic Countries

SAN DIEGO – 24 February 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) successfully performed Cold Weather Validation (CWV) using a company-owned MQ-9B SkyGuardian® Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) in late Jan./early Feb. 2023, adding to the cold weather experience of the MQ-9 family of systems. The system’s ground servicing actions, maneuvers, and flights were based out of GA-ASI’s Flight Test and Training Center (FTTC) in Grand Forks, N.D. SkyGuardian is being proposed to multiple Nordic countries for their Defence and Security needs. The CWV flight test widens and accelerates the global operational implementation for SkyGuardian, especially for countries that need to operate in cold conditions.

To prepare for the CWV, SkyGuardian was put in a “cold soak” that kept the aircraft at a temperature well below -21°C/-5°F for 12 hours, then prepared for ground maneuvers and flight through a de-icing process using de-icing and anti-icing fluids. In a second scenario, SkyGuardian transitioned from a climate-controlled hangar to engine start and system checks under basic cold conditions (temperature below -21°C/ -5°F ambient air). For the first flight, the outside temperature was below -21°C/-5°F. All scenarios were successfully and consistently conducted in impressive time, relying on standard de-icing and anti-icing procedures, fluids, and support equipment, a testament to the systems’ high readiness and responsiveness.

“Among the many transformative features of our MQ-9B line of RPA is the aircraft’s ability to perform in extreme temperatures,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “We welcome the cold weather operational capability requirements from Nordic countries, as the MQ-9B is built for all-weather global missions, and we’re thrilled to have MQ-9B perform so impressively under these demanding cold conditions. The CWV, coupled with our recent Low Earth Orbit (LEO) SATCOM flight tests, demonstrate how our aircraft can successfully perform missions in the Arctic region, which is becoming a clear security priority for NORAD and NATO.”

GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian® are revolutionizing the long-endurance RPAS market by providing all-weather capability and certification, with full compliance with STANAG-4671 (NATO UAS airworthiness standard). This feature, along with our operationally proven, collision-avoidance radar, enables flexible operations in civil airspace.

In addition to the Nordic countries, SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian have garnered significant interest from customers throughout the world. The UK Ministry of Defence selected MQ-9B SkyGuardian for its Protector program, and the Belgian Ministry of Defense signed a contract for SkyGuardian. MQ-9B have also been leased by the Japan Coast Guard.
