Does Body Armor Expire?
If the milk in your fridge was 2 months overdue, would you still drink it? What if it was chunky too? Not only would it be gross, but it could also make you sick.
The same principle goes for body armor, except if you don’t follow the expiration date, you won’t just get a tummy ache. Your ballistic armor could be less effective or worse…much worse.
Which Lightweight Bulletproof Vest is Right for You?
Some bulletproof vests can be large, bulky, and weigh you down. There are models and kits though, that provide a lightweight bulletproof vest option for the wearer.
Let’s look at the different options for protecting yourself while also staying agile in any environment.

XS Sights Introduces Lever Rails for Henry Big Boy Carbines
XS Sights Introduces Lever Rails for Henry Big Boy Carbines
Fort Worth, Texas (December 19, 2022) – XS® Sights is pleased to introduce new Lever Rails for Henry Big Boy carbines chambered in .357 Magnum (HN-6001R-N) and .44 Magnum (HN-6002R-N).
The XS Sights Lever Rails are machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and hard coat anodized to provide a lightweight mounting system that is tough enough for a lifetime of service. The rail bolts on to round barrel models of the Henry Big Boy – no gunsmithing required – for a quick, do-it-yourself upgrade. Machined to Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny specifications, the XS Lever Rail extends from the rear of the receiver to the front sight dovetail cut to allow mounting of any optic – red dot, scout scope, or low-powered variable optic (LPVO) – giving you the most versatile mounting platform available.
The XS Sights Lever Rails for the Henry Big Boy carbines are designed for carbines with steel receivers and round barrels. Due to differences in barrel contour, the rails and sights are caliber specific.
The XS Lever Rail will not fit carbines with brass receivers, and it will not fit carbines with octagonal barrels.
Retail Price: $72.00
For more information, visit www.xssights.com.

SNEAK PREVIEW: Smith & Wesson EQUALIZER
Smith & Wesson, is a legendary American firearms manufacturer, and in Q4 of 2022 they added the EQUALIZER to their already highly regarded EZ line of semiautomatic pistols. The EQUALIZER raises the EZ line to new heights with some impressive features. There’s a great deal to like about this 9mm CCW, so look for my review late January 2023.

Now Shipping: The Dan Wesson DWX
Now Shipping: The Dan Wesson DWX
The DWX pistol combines the best from CZ and Dan Wesson for shooters of all stripes.
Kansas City, KS (December 19, 2022) – What began as an innovative idea among the brilliant minds at CZ and Dan Wesson has finally come to life. These ideas resulted in the jaw-dropping DWX pistol, a grand melding between the signature pistol designs manufactured by the two brands. Available in 9mm, the DWX is ideal for everything from USPSA competition to recreational shooting.
The DWX starts with the crisp single-action fire control group from a Dan Wesson 1911 and combines it with the ergonomics and capacity of a CZ pistol. The grip angle and contour draw their lineage directly to the venerated CZ 75, providing an excellent fit for most shooters. Correspondingly, the full-size DWX is compatible with standard CZ 75 grips. In addition, low-profile red aluminum grips help drive the shooter’s hand high in the beavertail and provide a fantastic texture to plant it firmly in hand.
More than just a competition handgun, the DWX sports a locked-breech barrel system for simplicity and features a CZ-style take-down via the slide stop. Borrowing time-proven double-stack magazines from CZ pistol families, the full-size DWX employs the 19+1 magazine from the P-09/P-10.
An ambidextrous safety delivers easy access for right- and left-handed shooters, while a flat, K-style trigger offers a textured face for a positive feel. Front strap checkering aids grip control, while a 1913 Picatinny rail makes it easy to mount a light or laser. A match-grade barrel with a bushing-less barrel system resembles that of the P-09/P-10 and offers shooters unparalleled accuracy and easy take-down.
DWX competitive shooters will appreciate another benefit of its high degree of tunability and customizability. Many parts already on the market will fit, all built around the 1911 fire control group. With a 1911-style dovetail front sight and CZ Shadow 2-style rear sight, factory and aftermarket options also abound.
The long-awaited DWX pistol is finally on its way to the American market, at dealers now.
DWX Full-Size Specifications:
- · SKU: 92001
- · Caliber: 9mm
- · Grips: Henning Aluminum
- · Finish: Nitride
- · Overall Length: 8.5in
- · Barrel Length: 4.95in

Each Dan Wesson Firearms revolver bears the name of Daniel B. Wesson, who founded Wesson Firearms Co., Inc. in 1968. His goal was to build the finest revolvers that the shooting world had ever seen. As a result of his hardwork and dedication his firearms are known for their innovation, indestructibility, and match-grade accuracy.
Continuing in his footsteps, Dan Wesson Firearms joined the world’s largest firearms producer CZ in 2005. The Dan Wesson legacy continues with new and exciting products and innovations from the excellent people of CZ and Dan Wesson Firearms.

How to Mount Your C&H Precision Weapon Plate to Your Optic
How to Mount Your C&H Precision Weapon Plate to Your Optic
Richmond Hill, GA (Dec 19, 2022) – C&H Precision Weapons offers a wide array of mounting plates that fit various slides and optics. It takes time and research to understand all the different slide cut footprints and what plate fits an optic of choice. Luckily, the team at C&H Precision is happy to help with your selection and purchase.
Once an adaptor plate is chosen the mounting process is relatively straightforward. Make sure the workspace is clean; it’s a great time to lay out all tools, ensuring all necessary items are present. Besides the plate and optic, a tool kit with appropriate Torx bits and drivers are essential. C&H Precision Weapons offer a complete tool kit setup. Fix-It Sticks are an excellent end-all-be-all tool system. The kit, sold on C&H Precision website, provides a T8 and T10 Torx bit, 10 in-lb torque limiter, and the t-handle system. This kit can be found: https://chpws.com/product/mrds-maintenance-kit/
As with any important tool assembly, cleanliness is of utmost importance. Cleaning the plate, screws, and tools will help to ensure a tight fit free from debris. After cleaning the screws, apply a dot of Vibra-Tite to the threads and allow to set for 15-30 minutes, depending on climate.
Depending on the model, press-fitting T-Nuts into the machined pocket on the bottom of the plate may be necessary. If trying to fit the mount into the slide and finding it too difficult, these t-nuts may need to be pressed farther into the plate. Once fitted into the slide, ensure the adaptor fits flat and the mounting holes line up with those in the slide.
Now comes the fun part, making it all work. Taking the appropriate previously cleaned screws with Vibra-Tite, insert them into the mounting holes. Torque is key to a proper fit with screws of the appropriate strength. It’s helpful to use a torque driver to tighten these to 10 in-lb. It’s helpful to finish this assembly by adding an oil-based sharpie mark over the screws and plate as a visual identifier of loosening walking.
The next main part of the assembly is the actual mounting of your red dot of choice. Following the previous steps, line up the holes and insert the appropriate screws through the red dot and into the plate. Tighten to the same torque of 10 in-lb. Again, it’s helpful to mark the screws with paint witness marks to easily identify screws that are walking out.
A few important notes:
If the screws need to be removed for any reason – battery change – it’s recommended to replace the screws with brand new ones. New screw kits can be found at: https://chpws.com/search-results/?q=replacement+screw+hardware+kit
Never use Blue or Red Loctite on screws. The former can make removal tricky, and the latter will require significant heat to loosen, potentially warping the mounting hardware.
As always, the staff at C&H Precision Weapons is available to answer your questions and concerns. For an in-depth process on plate adaptor and red dot installation, please visit: https://chpws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/MRDS-Mounting-22_MAY_2020.pdf

Fisher Space Pen® Celebrates the 3rd Anniversary of Space Force
Fisher Space Pen® Celebrates the 3rd Anniversary of Space Force
Boulder City, NV (December 20, 2022) – Reliability is one of the most significant characteristics of a great relationship. Since the creation of the Original Astronaut Space Pen by Paul C. Fisher, the founder of Fisher Space Pen, and its utilization on the historical Apollo 7 Space Mission in 1968, Fisher Space Pens have been the most dependable writing devices known to the U.S. space mission crews. Additionally, Fisher Space Pen began highlighting the United States Space Force with a licensed pen since its inception on December 20th, 2019.
The USSF is a military service responsible for organizing, training, and equipping U.S. service men and women to carry out space missions. The objectives of the USSF missions include, but are not limited to, the following:
-
· Enhancing the combat capabilities of the joint forces.
-
· Protecting the U.S. and its space assets from missile attacks.
-
· Facilitating the conduct of the Department of Defense in space.
Given these purposes of the USSF, it is no surprise that Fisher Space Pen has been the USSF’s most trustworthy pen supplier that embodies reliability in the form of writing utensils.
To commemorate the 3-year anniversary of the USSF, Fisher Space Pen highlights the Military Matte Black Cap-O-Matic Space Pen. While other models such as AG7, Bullet, and Shuttle pens have been more well-known for their usage in space, the Cap-O-Matic has also been famous for its durability and resilience. Law enforcement, first responders, medical professionals, and construction workers have loved using the Cap-O-Matic pen in their fast-paced environment for its exceptional convenience and readiness due to the single-handed cap activation.
Equipped with Fisher’s signature Pressurized PR4 cartridge, the Cap-O-Matic Space Pens write at any angle no matter the condition; underwater, in zero-gravity, in extreme temperatures ranging from 30 below zero to 250 degrees F. However, the appeal of this pen does not end there. This particular line of the Cap-O-Matic comes with an attractive black matte finish over a brass body laser-engraved with the Space Force insignia. All of this goodness is at an affordable price of $27.50. Additional personalization is available at a small fee. Whether it is for yourself or someone special, the Military Matte Black Cap-O-Matic would make the recipient thoroughly impressed and satisfied!
Features:
-
· Cap activation
-
· Brass with matte black finish
-
· Fisher pressurized PR4
-
· Black ink
-
· Medium point
-
· Galaxy gift box packaging
Specs:
-

Fisher Space Pen Co. is a 74-year-old American manufacturer of ballpoint pens, with the notable distinction of being the only ballpoint pen used on every crewed flight into space since Apollo 7 back in 1968 and most recently with Space X. While pressurized technology made it possible for NASA’s astronauts to write in space, it also provided writing capabilities in all-weather, underwater, over oil and grease and from -30 to +250 degrees Fahrenheit. These pens are the perfect tool for trade professionals, first responders, military, rugged outdoor enthusiasts, trekkers, backpackers, industrial manufacturers, underwater divers and anyone who values a pen that doesn’t fail.

In-Wall Safes are available in two sizes – a 22-inch and a 44-inch-tall version – depending on individual storage needs. SnapSafe makes peace of mind made easy with its new In-Wall Safes.
The In-Wall Safe mounts flush against the wall allowing concealment behind pictures, furniture or other household objects without detection. If discovered, its 16-gauge steel body and extra-thick 8-gauge door thwart unauthorized access. An innovative latch mechanism maximizes usable interior space while hidden hinges impede prying and cutting attacks on the container. Thanks to its innovative design, it fits perfectly between wall studs that use the industry-standard 16-inch on-center spacing; the pre-drilled safe then lags tight to the framing using the included bolts. SnapSafe In-Wall Safes are easy to install in minutes, and the design allows orienting the door for either a left- or right-hand opening.
A battery-powered electronic keypad provides quick entry to the In-Wall Safe. After entering the access code, its spring-assist door opens and reveals the safe’s contents. The lock has audio and LED warnings when the battery levels are running low. And just in case, SnapSafe includes a barrel key backup.
Removable storage shelves customize the interior layout, accommodating different-sized objects. On the floor, a padded mat prevents damage to delicate items. Magnetic jewelry and key hooks organize smaller pieces. Likewise, a magnetic document holder stows essential papers on the door in a flat and accessible location.
The SnapSafe In-Wall Safe is an affordable, concealable security container that fits perfectly into any home.

NSSF Rejects City of Buffalo’s Frivolous Lawsuit Against Firearm Industry Members
December 20, 2022
NSSF Rejects City of Buffalo’s Frivolous Lawsuit Against Firearm Industry Members
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, rejects the false premise of the lawsuit brought by the City of Buffalo against several firearm manufacturers, distributors and retailers. The accusations are without any legal merit and are an obvious attempt by city officials to deflect attention and shift responsibility for their failure to enforce the law against criminals by casting blame on a Constitutionally-protected and most highly-regulated industry in the nation today.
“The junk lawsuit by the City of Buffalo attempts to deflect attention for illegal activities by criminals by laying blame at the feet of the firearm industry, which is following the law,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “This is no different from the frivolous and unsuccessful lawsuits filed against firearm manufacturers in the late 1990s and early 2000s by crime-ridden big-city mayors across the country. Those lawsuits failed because they were legally and factually baseless. But they did, however, result in Congress passing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in 2005 by a broad bipartisan margin.”
The recently passed New York public nuisance law, upon which Buffalo’s lawsuit is based, is a transparent and unconstitutional attempt to defy the will of Congress. A lawsuit challenging the Constitutionality of the New York public nuisance law is now before a federal appellate court in Manhattan.
New York’s “public nuisance” law would subject members of the firearm industry to civil lawsuits for the criminal misuse or unlawful possession of firearms in New York that were lawfully sold after a criminal background check, that the industry supports. This was the same failed tactic ushered in by New York’s disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo when he served as Housing and Urban Development Secretary in the Clinton administration and attempted to use these lawsuits to impose on the firearm industry a “death by a thousand cuts.” The public nuisance law was signed by the former governor shortly before he was driven from office.
This lawsuit also ignores that NSSF, The Firearm Industry Trade Association representing firearm manufacturers, distributors and retailers, proactively works hand-in-hand with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to prevent illegal “straw” purchases of firearms and firearm thefts from retailers. That is just one of the multiple firearm safety efforts the firearm industry’s Real Solutions. Safer Communities® campaign, which also includes safe storage of firearms in the home, suicide prevention and improving background checks for lawful firearm purchases.
New York’s law and this lawsuit distort principles of liability clearly established as bedrock principles of Tort Law. The bipartisan 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which has been upheld as Constitutional by U.S. Courts of Appeal, specifically forbids these lawsuits.

NSSF Denounces U.S. Senate Confirmation of Operation Choke Point Architect to FDIC

NSSF Denounces U.S. Senate Confirmation of Operation Choke Point Architect to FDIC
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, condemned the U.S. Senate’s confirmation of Martin J. Gruenberg as Chair and Member of the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Gruenberg led the FDIC from 2011-2018, during which the Obama administration conducted the illegal Operation Choke Point scheme to deny banking services to firearm businesses. NSSF opposed his confirmation in the strongest terms as he has already demonstrated a lack of respect for the law and unparalleled disdain for the Constitutionally-protected firearm and ammunition industry.
“The Senate’s confirmation of Martin Gruenberg is a flagrant disregard for his role in illegally using the levers of government to force discriminatory banking policies on the firearm and ammunition industry,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “His culpability in shepherding this illegal operation was not only previously investigated by Congress but was also highlighted by Senate Banking Committee Republicans. Mr. Gruenberg’s leading role in creating, administering and punishing the firearm industry through illegal means simply because he, President Barack Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder found this industry politically-disfavored clearly disqualified him from being reconfirmed to a position of public trust.”
Under the Obama administration, an initiative called “Operation Choke Point” was launched by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) to stop financial institutions from offering services to some regulated industries in an attempt to choke off banking services. This operation, which represented an abuse of the agencies’ statutory authority, was first aimed at non-depository lenders (so-called payday lenders) but expanded to ammunition and firearms sales, tobacco sales and pharmaceutical sales, among other industries.
The goal of the operation was to coerce banks, third-party payment processors and other financial institutions into closing or denying business accounts of clients that the FDIC has classified as “high risk” or as a “reputational risk” for the financial institution. According to a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform investigation, the FDIC, “equated legitimate and regulated activities such as coin dealers and firearms and ammunition sales with inherently pernicious or patently illegal activities such as Ponzi schemes, debt consolidation scams, and drug paraphernalia.”
The FDIC included federally licensed firearm retailers and other companies in the firearm and ammunition industry – some of the most heavily regulated businesses in the country – on this list of risky businesses without any evidence or justification. In fact, in its guidance to banks, the agency “justified itself by claiming that the categories had been previously ‘noted by the FDIC.”
Working with the DOJ, the FDIC guidance targeting the law-abiding firearms industry and others was included on DOJ subpoenas. This sent a message to banks that they were to remove those clients from their services or risk a federal investigation.

Looking For Certified Instructors? The Guild Has You Covered
Looking For Certified Instructors? The Guild Has You Covered
Richmond Hill, GA (December 21, 2022) – Secondary to equipment is training. It doesn’t matter how many ‘cool toys’ you have. Not knowing how to utilize them properly makes them — and you — useless. There is no surprise that finding qualified trainers is equally as tricky. Many individuals claim to have all the experience and wisdom to train anyone properly in the effective use of a firearm. However, this is not always the case.
C&H Precision Weapons has hand-picked a group of industry professionals capable of providing the pinnacle of expert training. The Guild – as it is dubbed – is a list of verified trainers from around the country. They are selected by their experience and ability to provide expert education to others. This is not merely limited to civilian use, either. Many are armorers, SWAT members, concealed carry experts, history buffs, preppers and survivalists. The search for verified trainers has become even easier.
These instructors are not small-name individuals, either. Larry “Lav” Vickers of Vickers Tactical, Aaron Cowan of Sage Dynamics, and Hilton Yam of 10-8 Performance are just a few of the names associated with The Guild. This comprehensive list of highly qualified experts allows those interested in training to connect with a relatively local expert or school. The Guild allows anyone to better expand personal specialty training and development with firearms.
So, no matter the circumstance or gear owned, the sole benefit remains the ability to effectively use them. The Guild by C&H Precision is hand-picked for you. Check it out at: https://chpws.com/theguild/
C&H Precision Weapons (CHPWS) is a family owned and operated small business, serving the shooting community from our shop located in Richmond Hill, Georgia. We specialize in hand-crafted precision rifles, custom 1911’s, pistol slide upgrades and the design and manufacturing of special projects within the firearms industry.

N.D. ANG’s 178th ATKS Named RPA Squadron of the Year
N.D. ANG’S 178TH ATKS NAMED RPA SQUADRON OF THE YEAR
SAN DIEGO – 16 December 2022 – The North Dakota Air National Guard’s 178th Attack Squadron (ATKS) was recognized as the General Atomics Remotely Piloted Aircraft Squadron of the Year at an event hosted by the Mitchell Institute on Dec. 9, 2022, at the Fargo Air Museum in Fargo, N.D. The award is given annually to the Squadron that distinguishes itself through its deployment of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) in meritorious service. The 178th was selected from a field of more than 30 RPA squadrons and it’s the first time an ANG Squadron has received the award.
In 2021, the 178th Attack Squadron continued to solidify their position as the trail-blazing MQ-9 unit by leading in innovation, capabilities, and modernization. The “Happy Hooligans” have completed their unprecedented 15th straight year of 24/7/365 combat operations while supporting both U.S. Central Command and U.S. Africa Command. They have distinguished themselves in current combat operations while advocating for MQ-9A relevancy in strategic competition.
Additionally, the Hooligans have accelerated change across the Joint Force via innovative Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) and live-fly MQ-9 training. Twenty-one supported units from each of the four services, operating in three different Combatant Commands, have partnered with the 178th to advance readiness and improve RPA employment. Furthermore, the Happy Hooligans are the enterprise leader as the producers of the most Live-fly Continuation Training. They have powered MQ-9 training and readiness programs for 10 different Operations Groups in the Air National Guard, Air Combat Command, and Air Force Special Operations Command.
“The 178th ATKS has made a significant impact on multiple areas of responsibility over the last few years, and especially this year,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “We’re proud of the 178th’s dedication and passion to improving MQ-9 operations and showcasing the MQ-9’s multi-role capabilities.”
The Happy Hooligan’s accomplishments, as they paved the way for future RPA capability, distinctly identify them as the U.S. Air Force’s most outstanding RPA squadron and demonstrate the great power of this nation with cutting-edge combat capabilities. The 178th Attack Squadron is a unit of the North Dakota ANG’s 119th Wing stationed at the Fargo, Hector IAP, N.D.

NSSF Releases New ‘Partner with a Payer’ Videos Highlighting Industry, State Agencies and USFWS Cooperation on Conservation
December 15, 2022
NSSF Releases New ‘Partner with a Payer’ Videos Highlighting Industry, State Agencies and USFWS Cooperation on Conservation
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, has added two new videos to its “Partner with a Payer®” resource library highlighting the cooperative efforts of the firearm industry, state wildlife agencies and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) to help sustain the nation’s natural resources.
Partner with a Payer is an initiative of USFWS. NSSF and industry companies participate in the program to strengthen ties between all excise tax-paying manufacturers—firearms and ammunition, archery equipment, marine and sportfishing equipment—and the state agencies that use these funds to conserve wildlife and habitat. These excise-tax dollars are placed in the federal Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Fund for annual distribution to the states.
The seventh video in the Partner with a Payer series features a tour of the Nosler, Inc. Ammunition Facility and focuses on the Pacific Northwest Health Laboratories as an example of more than 35 research facilities across the country that monitor the health of all wildlife and develop responses to emerging diseases. Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Funds support these labs and “help us do everything,” said one scientist, paying for research positions, lab buildings and equipment, field testing supplies and much more.
The eighth video in the series focuses on the Federal Premium Ammunition company, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Pittman-Robertson excise taxes that are applied to all sporting arms and ammunition in support of wildlife and habitat conservation.
Since 1937, when the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act was enacted (known as the Pittman-Robertson Act), the manufacturers of firearms, ammunition and archery equipment have paid more than $15.8 billion on their products for the benefit of wildlife conservation and restoration, hunter education and development of shooting ranges. Since 1939, Wildlife Restoration and Hunter Education Apportionments adjusted for inflation through the year 2021 equate to $22.5 billion.
Tom Decker, Wildlife Biologist, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, has said these excise taxes have literally changed the nature of America. Through the Partner with a Payer program, players in every part of the story are gaining a new appreciation of what their partners in this wildlife and conservation effort do to make it work.
NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi said, “It is an incredible model of conservation funding that benefits all Americans, not just hunters and target shooters, and helps ensure sustainable wildlife and habitat for future generations. Our industry’s contributions to this program are something we’ve long been proud of, and we want the employees of companies and state agencies to be also, which is why we’re proud to be involved with the Partner with a Payer program.”
Partner with a Payer arranges for industry employees to see conservation science taking place in the field, such as at black bear research projects. “These connections between industry professionals and state agency scientists and researchers build long-lasting appreciation for each other’s work and also the funding that makes so much of what we enjoy possible,” said Bartozzi.
These latest videos and others in the series were produced by Shine United LLC / Kingdom Filmworks for NSSF through a Multistate Conservation Grant awarded by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.
