Hornady Reloading Case Prep Tools
Grand Island, NE (December 15, 2022) – Reloading cartridges is worthwhile, ultimately offering a money-saving potential for frequent shooters. Experienced reloaders can also use a host of tools and techniques to achieve enhanced accuracy with their favored firearms. Whether just getting into reloading or a seasoned match shooter, Hornady has all the case preparation tools you need.
Hornady’s Lock-N-Load® Power Case Prep Center provides all-around versatility, saving time and bench space by rolling all necessary case preparation functions into one unit. The powerful trimmer is micro-adjustable to .001 (one-thousandth) of an inch and capable of trimming cases measuring from ¾-inch to 3¼-inch. Precision trimming often results in minuscule metal shavings. The Power Case Prep Center’s innovative design has that under control, keeping metal shavings in the amply sized, easily detachable catch trays and out of cartridge cases.
The trimmer is combined with chamfering and deburring tools, large and small primer pocket cleaners, six popular neck brush sizes, and pilots of the same caliber. Calibers include: .22, .25, 6mm, .270, 6.5mm, 7mm, .30, .35, and .45. The unit’s easy-grip handle offers leverage, and reloaders can arrange all of the accompanying tools however they choose on the front panel.
Reloaders may purchase optional tools separately, including additional neck brushes, a flash hole deburring tool, a primer pocket reamer, or a primer pocket uniformer.
Moisture can be one of a reloader’s worst enemies. Now, reloaders can make sure their cartridge cases are completely dry with Hornady’s Digital Cases and Parts Dryer. Hundreds of cartridge cases, plus small and large gun parts, can be dried simultaneously. Four fixed trays hold cases and small parts, while a fifth adjustable tray can hold the larger pieces. The top-mounted digital powerhead controls the drying. Digitally adjust drying time from 15 minutes to two hours and select from seven temperature levels for quick or gentle drying. The unit takes seconds to set up and easily disassembles for thorough cleaning.
Wringing that small but important match-level accuracy out of a cartridge is critical to many dedicated shooters. Turning a case’s neck, so it best fits the rifle’s chamber – with the bullet perfectly seated and aligned with the bore – often creates that subtle difference. Tweak those cases with the Hornady® Neck Turn Tool. The adjustment knob lets you choose detents for .0005-inch increments or no detents for infinite adjustment. Use your own variable speed drill to power the tool. The tool is designed to handle a wide variety of case lengths. Mandrels for four popular calibers are included: .22, 6mm, 6.5mm, and .30.
Founded in 1949, Hornady® Manufacturing Company is a family-owned business headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska. Proudly manufacturing products that are made in the USA, Hornady® Manufacturing is a world leader in bullet, ammunition, reloading tool, accessory and security product design and manufacturing.

Huk’s Gunwale Collection Provides Big Performance At A Reasonable Price
Charleston, SC (December 15, 2022) – Ardent anglers don’t think a little rain should get in the way of a day on the water—even if it’s blowing sideways. So the Gunwale collection from Huk offers easily packable rain gear that keeps the elements at bay without a steep price tag.
Huk’s Gunwale Rainwear collection provides serious performance in the nastiest of conditions. At the heart of each garment is a hardcore, wind, and waterproof fabric, so it stands up to the worst of Mother Nature’s wrath but is porous enough to allow interior moisture to escape to the outside of the material. The fabric’s exterior features a durable, water-resistant finish that stands up to driving rain. Like all of Huk’s premium rainwear, the Gunwale collection features fully taped seams to remain wind and waterproof. An internal liner wicks moisture towards the membrane and away from the body. Combined, all of these layers stop water dead in its tracks.
Each garment in the Gunwale line is constructed with top-of-the-line features to keep anglers dry and fishing longer. The adjustable hood offers excellent visibility and keeps rain and spray out of faces during the roughest rides. When the activity peaks, the integrated pit zips help ditch excess heat and keep sweat to a minimum. An elastic waist, waterproof leg zipper, and zippered fly give the pants easy on-and-off accessibility. Storm flaps provide added protection for zippers to help keep gear dry. Best of all, each piece packs into its pocket for easy storage, ensuring it doesn’t take up too much space on board.
Anglers trust Huk’s rainwear to keep the elements at bay so they can concentrate on what’s important–fishing. The Gunwale collection offers big performance in an easily stowed package, all at a friendly price.

STRYK Group USA and Angled Spade Technologies Have Been Engaged by Auto Mag, LTD. CO., For Industry Expertise
BOZEMAN, Mont. (Dec. 15, 2022) — STRYK Group USA and Angled Spade Technologies have been engaged by Auto Mag LTD. CO. to take business to the “next level.” Auto Mag LTD. CO. (Auto Mag) has joined the ranks of serious firearms contenders and exists to revitalize the American classic known as the .44 Auto Mag® Pistol in a productive business environment.
The original design of Auto Mag’s .44 pistol dates back to 1968 and since then, gun aficionados have been patiently waiting to experience the thrill of owning and shooting this symbol of cinematic, firearm, and literary history. In 2015, Auto Mag answered the call by obtaining exclusive rights to this iconic firearm, namesake, and brand. Since then, Auto Mag has worked tirelessly, spending many years building upon its original design with many improvements along the way. Now and without question, the company has managed to reinforce the iconic look, feel, and value epitomized by Dirty Harry himself and generated an invigorating buzz across the shooting community that validates its efforts. As part of the company’s passion and dedication for long-term growth, Auto Mag has turned to top industry professionals within Angled Spade Technologies, LLC, and STRYK Group USA.
Angled Spade Technologies will head up the day-to-day charge to bring this iconic pistol to the shooting community in a way that serves the significance of this project. Angled Spade will handle the overall management, engineering, production, and fulfillment led by Mike Bush and his partners, Matt Dulude and Joe Salvador. These three are well known within the industry for an incredibly long list of achievements related to creating and bringing cutting edge firearms to market.
STRYK Group USA, an impact consulting company for the world’s leading hunting, camping, fishing, and firearms brands, will be managing the sales, marketing, and customer service efforts for Auto Mag. STRYK Group USA is led by industry leaders Jeff Edwards and partner, Chase Myers.
“For Auto Mag, this is an exciting time to revitalize and broaden the product offerings and release them to the market. As we’ve worked to ramp up production of the Auto Mag 180-D pistol, we’ve recognized that to truly do this project justice, we would need to involve world-class industry leaders from Angled Spade and STRYK Group to effectively meet the current market demands,” said Patrick Henry III of Auto Mag. “Like others in the industry, we’re well acquainted with the standout capabilities and results the teams at these two companies bring to the table.
“We’ve entrusted Angled Spade to lead the charge, as they’ve scaled major brands in the shooting and outdoor industry and have recently conducted an in-depth assessment of our Loris, SC facility. We agreed with their summation that relocating the entirety of our operation to the heartland of firearms manufacturing will be necessary to properly serve our customers moving forward.” The move is slated for the future and details will be forthcoming.
Under the terms of the agreements, Angled Spade Technologies will provide Auto Mag LTD. CO. with overall management of the company, engineering, new product development, supply chain management, demand sourcing to forecast, website management and systems integration and oversight of sales activities. STRYK Group will manage the sales program and implementation, market positioning and branding, and day-to-day customer service support. The project will also leverage STRYK Group’s proprietary databases and sophisticated digital platforms for highly targeted promotion to qualified retailers, augmented by strategic physical sales channel development, plus order taking around the world.
About Angled Spade Technologies, LLC
After providing the juice for many products-oriented companies, Mike, Matt, and Joe decided there was no better time than the present to take charge in ways only they can, so they founded Angled Spade Technologies, LLC in August 2022. As many have heard Mike ask, “Are you ready to strap in?” Not many immediately understand why he asks that question prior to starting a project. It doesn’t take long for them to realize they are strapped into a rocket sled and are enjoying what it means to precisely execute at a pace no one in the areas of product development and market entry have experienced in the firearms industry. Angled Spade is headquartered in the Connecticut River Valley area, which has served as the heartland of firearms production for many years. For information on Angled Spade, the website, www.angledspade.com, will be online within the coming weeks.

I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Holiday Season. I hope you’re looking forward to Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa.
In case you’re new to the sight, we haven’t had a shoot the shit in a while, it’s difficult producing good topics, but as luck would have it, a reader sent me a topic that I’ll guarantee will be news to you, but first, let’s talk about what a shoot the shit is, so you can schedule your own.
A shoot the shit is a social interaction during which any topic can be discussed. The participants don’t need to know anything about the topic, they’re free to make unsupported comments, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or altogether change the subject. A shoot the shit is used in lieu of seeing psychologist to help you cope. The shoot the shit is far more effective, and you won’t have to pay $150 /hr. to a jackass who majored in psychology so they could understand themselves.
So, let’s shoot the shit…
How many of you heard of cultivated meats, I’m not talking about what in your pants. Better yet how many of you heard of cultivated meat?
Cultivated meat, also known as cultured meat, is genuine animal meat (including seafood and organ meats) produced by cultivating animal cells directly in a lab. This production method eliminates the need to raise and farm animals for food. Cultivated meat is lab grown meat there is no animal cells involved. Are you digesting this?
What is the benefit?
Traditional beef production makes lots of methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide, so-called greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Lab-grown meat could reduce these emissions significantly.
Are you saying, “you’ve got to be shitting me.” No, as that would result in methane and global warming.
Well folks an Israeli company called BELIEVER Meats is opening a large cultivated meats plant in North Carolina. Here’s the company’s press release.
BELIEVER Meats Breaks Ground on Largest Cultivated Meat Production Facility in The World
NEWS PROVIDED BY BELIEVER Meats
Dec 07, 2022, 16:31 ET
WILSON, N.C. and REHOVOT, Israel, Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — BELIEVER Meats, a leading pioneer of the cultivated meat industry, officially broke ground today on its first U.S. commercial facility in Wilson, North Carolina. Once operational, the 200,000-square-foot facility will be the largest cultivated meat production center in the world with the capacity to produce at least 10,000 metric tons of cultivated meat, without the need to slaughter a single animal. This is a watershed moment for the cultivated meat industry that will allow BELIEVER Meats to meet growing demand for decades to come.
BELIEVER Meats Breaks Ground on Largest Cultivated Meat Production Facility in The World
The project represents an initial planned investment of $123.35 million in Wilson County, North Carolina
The company’s first U.S. commercial-scale production facility is planned at 200,000 square feet, with possible expansion in the future
“Our facility propels BELIEVER forward as a leader in the cultivated meat industry,” says Nicole Johnson-Hoffman, CEO of BELIEVER Meats. “Our brand has continually proven our commitment to scale production technology and capacity, and with our new U.S. production center, we are one step closer to commercialization. BELIEVER is setting the standard globally to make it possible for future generations to eat and enjoy meat.”
The company explored several well-established manufacturing corridors in Eastern North Carolina because of its highly qualified talent pool and the region’s success in integrating technology-driven solutions to improve the lives of residents, which aligns with the company’s mission.
“We’re pleased to welcome Believer Meats to North Carolina,” said North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper. “This important decision to build its first U.S. commercialization operation in Wilson County validates our innovative research and development and highly skilled talent while further cementing our state as the best in the nation to do business.”
BELIEVER is making an initial planned investment of $123.35 million in Wilson County, located approximately 40 miles east of Raleigh, N.C., and includes plans to create over 100 new jobs over the next three years. The facility will utilize proprietary, custom-made bioreactors that can achieve high cell densities and yield based on patented processes. In addition, the state-of-the-art facility will feature an R&D and innovation center, a contemporary kitchen to host tastings, as well as offices and conference room spaces.
“We celebrate this milestone and are thrilled to see the North Carolina and Wilson County officials and community providing critically important support to scale cultivated meat production. These steps pave the way for cultivated meat to come to market in the U.S. at scale and helps ensure as many consumers as possible have access to these groundbreaking products,” says Liz Specht, Ph.D., Vice President of Science and Technology at the Good Food Institute (GFI). “Further government investment like this will advance the sector toward commercialization, helping to feed a growing population more sustainably, spurring economic growth, and improving environmental and global health outcomes.”
The facility’s groundbreaking is the latest in a series of developments as BELIEVER prepares to bring its products to consumers, including its recent rebrand from Future Meat Technologies to BELIEVER Meats, its R&D breakthrough with cultivating lamb, and the creation of a global leadership team, to name a few.
“Today’s announcement is another example of the growth, progress and increased interest in this cutting-edge industry,” says Robert Rankin, Executive Director of the Association for Meat, Poultry, and Seafood Innovation (AMPS). “Members of AMPS Innovation look forward to continued advancements in this industry to support commercialization of cultivated meat, poultry and seafood.”
“The future of food starts with what we do today, and we are on the path to creating the change we seek,” continues Johnson-Hoffman. “Through affordability, approachability, and availability, we want our products to become the meat of choice globally, and with the announcement of our new production facility, we are well on our way.”

The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.

PROOF Research® Greg Hamilton and Nightforce Optics Sean Murphy Take Home 1st Place in the 2022 Coleman’s Creek Range Sniper Team Championship
Once again, trusting the outstanding performance and reliability of PROOF Research® barrels, Hamilton and Murphy win another grueling long-range competition.
Columbia Falls, Mont. (December 2022) –PROOF Research®’s Weapons Test Specialist, Greg Hamilton, and Sean Murphy of Nightforce Optics, bring home a first-place win in the Coleman’s Creek Sniper Team Championships, held Dec. 9 – 11, 2022, in Ellerbe, North Carolina.
Considered one of the most hard-core sniper team challenges, the six-stage competition tests the shooter’s abilities to engage targets from 10 yards to 1700 yards. Each team was required to carry a sniper rifle, carbine, and pistol. At each stage, the competitors read a brief and had one minute to ask any questions before starting the stage. Stages varied from paper targets to “find, range, and engage” targets, to technical shooting problems the competitors had to solve. While competitors focus on their marksmanship skills, problem-solving, and teamwork are critical aspects of this unique team sniper competition.
Hamilton used an Accuracy International 6.5 Creedmoor with PROOF Research’s AI Pre-Fit stainless-steel barrel while Murphy used a 223 Wylde carbine with a PROOF Research AR 18” stainless steel barrel.
PROOF Research is a well-known brand within the precision rifle community and is one of the leading barrel brands used by champion competitors in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) and National Rifle League (NRL).

Today you will be able to purchase the K1 DOBERMANN XXV ANNIVERSARIUM from our authorized resellers and on extremaratio.com. Delivery is scheduled for mid-February 2023.
This special edition of 250 pcs, designed for the 25th anniversary of the brand, maintains the shape of the original knife but with up-to-date materials and finishing.
K1 has a modified spear point blade, whose tip is a combination of tanto style at 40° and a more traditional European style, resulting in a very sharp but solid hybrid. It also has a sharp false edge that makes it very effective at thrusting. It has a high bevel that allows a very efficient cutting edge.
The blade can be recognized for its hole on the blade, which makes the knife significantly lighter without compromising its sturdiness. It is made of Böhler N690, heat treated at 58 HRC, to reach the best combination of edge retention and resistance. It has a satin finish and a flat grind.
The Anticorodal anodized handle has a lighter design compared to its original – a design that characterises Extrema Ratio knives – but it keeps the arched shape and the lateral “bump” of the K1, allowing an excellent grip in bot saber and reverse mode.
The bottom part of the handle is curved to create a sort of hook for easily and rapidly pulling the knife out of the sheath, whereas the pommel stick out as a triangular glass breaker that can become a lanyard hole.
The leather sheath is the exact replica of the original, retaining its features of rapid and easy extraction. The knife can be carried upwards underarm, horizontally with a belt or tactically in the leg.
K1 comes with a Polypropylene case, a complete leather sheath and a shoulder strap to carry the knife underarm.

The ZERO M-Series Sizing Die
WATCH THE LAUNCH PRE-ORDER YOUR DIE
The ZERO M-Series Sizing die is the culmination of years of testing, research, trial, error, frustration, and finally, discoveries.
As Reloaders, we knew we needed a die to do certain things, but as the makers of the ZERO Reloading Press, we also learned a huge amount about what other dies did well or did poorly, and what our customers were struggling with on a daily basis.
With the ZERO M-Series Sizing Die, we think we have produced a sizing die that is capable of producing the finest, match-grade ammunition, as well as being user-friendly to new and learning reloaders.
Sizing brass doesn’t have to be complicated. It doesn’t have to require years of trial and error. It just needs equipment, made with the end-user in mind, designed with the understanding that a die is part of an ecosystem of parts. A press, a die, the brass, the rifle – they all have to work together and be designed with one another in mind. This is that. Introducing, the ZERO M-Series Sizing Die.
KEY FEATURES
All dies ship with an Area 419 ZERO Die Ring, a spare decapping pin and necessary install/removal tools.
After testing them all, and finding everything we like and didn’t like, and working with thousands of customers and a variety of industry partners, we believe this is what a sizing die should be. We think you’ll agree.

Minelab Unleashes the Perfect Beast
New Minelab MANTICORE High Power Metal Detector delivers unrivaled experiences and results
Chicago, IL (December 13, 2022) – Minelab is the world leader in metal-detecting technology, and the all-new MANTICORE with Multi-IQ+ is the most powerful, fastest, and most precise metal detector in Minelab’s history.
The heart of MANTICORE is its super-charged Simultaneous Multi-Frequency (MULTI-IQ+) engine. This feat of innovation generates an incredible 50% power increase over the world’s best-selling Minelab EQUINOX detector series. When combined with advanced 2D Target Identification (ID) and rich audio options, MANTICORE floods every bit of vital information to the detectorist’s eyes and ears: stunning 2D Target Trace visualizations with 100 Target ID resolution and superior 100 Tone Audio. Put simply, MANTICORE delivers an unrivaled detecting experience that pushes the boundaries of detecting while delivering more power, more depth, more information, and more finds.
MULTI-IQ+
Building on the successes of Minelab’s original Multi-IQ technology, Multi-IQ+ transmits more power through the coil at a wider range of operating frequencies to light up more targets in the ground. It has completely revamped signal processing which delivers enhanced discrimination, greater Target ID resolution, improved target separation, and provides a greater ability to tune discrimination and audio to suit detecting conditions.
FAST RESPONSE
Find desired targets amongst ferrous trash like no other detector on the market with MANTICORE’s exceptional target separation performance.
POWERFUL 2D ID MAP
See targets from a new perspective with MANTICORE’s Two-Dimensional (2D) Identification (ID) Map. A 100-Target ID range and a visual Ferrous Limits layer helps detectorists take greater control and identify targets with precision. If it contains metal, you’ll see it on the ID Map.
ENHANCED DISCRIMINATION
Exceeding expectations with every swing, MANTICORE delivers improved Target ID stability and close-target separation. With customizable Ferrous Limits, detectorists have unprecedented control to accept ferrous coins, reject complex ferrous targets, or dial-in maximum target unmasking in iron. Create a Custom Discrimination Pattern to accept good Target ID’s and reject bad ones. Edit the Ferrous Limits to classify combination (part-ferrous and part-conductive) targets as ferrous, so you hear less ferrous trash.
AUDIO YOUR WAY
Take control of audio with MANTICORE. Hear target information the way you like it via superior audio controls including customizable target tones, suppression of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) chatter, and Continuous Pitch (VCO) audio with ferrous tones and genuine threshold detection tone. Assign the Pitch and Volume of up to 5 Tone Regions in order to amplify the targets you want to hear.
ULTIMATE SEARCH MODES
MANTICORE delivers over 10 specialized Presets including All-Terrain Search Modes optimized for inland detecting; Beach Search Modes optimized for sand, surf and seawater zones; and a Goldfield Search Mode optimized for detecting gold nuggets. Create up to ten Custom Search Modes that personalize MANTICORE to suit your detecting experience.
UNRIVALED CONSTRUCTION & EXTREME WATERPROOFING
There’s no reason to sacrifice comfort for power. MANTICORE weighs only 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs.) and features a three-piece, highly collapsible carbon-fiber shaft system with premium SCORPION Armrest. No terrain is off limits with the IP68-rated MANTICORE; dive up to 5m (16ft) for underwater exploration to find hidden targets others can’t reach.
INTUITIVE CONTROL
Cutting-edge technology is only half of the MANTICORE story. Making MANTICORE’s power easy to access is just as important. That’s why MANTICORE features a large color screen that delivers the most intuitive user experience ever offered on a detector.
BOOSTED EMI IMMUNITY
There may be a storm raging outside, but inside MANTICORE it’s quiet and calm. Improved EMI rejection means it’s possible to operate using higher sensitivity while isolating target information — even in the most challenging environmental conditions.
CHOICE OF COILS
MANTICORE comes standard with the versatile M11 (11″ Round Double-D) coil. Available optional M8 (8″x5.5″ Elliptical Double-D) and M15 (15″x12″ Elliptical Double-D) coils mean detectorists can optimize MANTICORE for all detecting conditions.
LIGHTING & VIBRATION
The daylight may have ended, but that doesn’t mean your hunt has to. With Control Box Flashlight, Display Backlight with Auto Adjust, Backlit Keypad, plus Handgrip Vibration, detectorists can power on long after the sun goes down.
CLEAR AUDIO
Enjoy crystal-clear audio with MANTICORE’s powerful External Speaker and lightning-fast Low Latency Wireless Headphones.
BUILT TO LAST
Because Minelab is committed to leading the pack for performance and support, MANTICORE is backed by Minelab’s global network and up to a 3-year warranty. With built-in software upgrade capability, the world’s most advanced metal detector will stay that way deep into the future.

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.

XS Sights Introduces Inline Rear Sight Pusher Tools for Glock Pistols
Fort Worth, Texas (December 12, 2022) – XS® Sights is pleased to introduce two Inline Rear Sight Tools for Glock® pistols – the DIY Series™ and GUNSMITH Series™. Both are fast and easy to use, reducing installation force by up to 50%.
The unique open-top design of these tools allows easy visual alignment and viewing of the installation process, while the locking wedge feature makes it quick and easy to secure the slide. The tools feature a non-marring brass bit to prevent scratching and a built-in centering scale for precision windage adjustments. The compact, lightweight footprint of these sight pushers make them ideal for the range or a workbench. Both tools work with all Glock generations and models and, unlike other Glock sight pusher tools on the market, can be used with suppressor-height sights and even on Glock pistols equipped with red dot sights without removing the optic.
DIY Series™ Sight Pusher Install Kit for Glock®
Engineered for the do-it-yourselfer who owns or maintains multiple Glock pistols, the DIY-Series Sight Pusher Install Kit for Glock allows users to easily complete a wide range of sight installs on all Glock slides, including optic/suppressor-height sights. An Allen key, included in the kit, is turned to move the pusher back and forth across the slide, and the process of installing and removing sights requires up to 50% less force with the XS tool than other available sight pushers due to the low placement of the pusher bit. When installing optic and suppressor-height sights on Glock MOS and aftermarket optic cut slides, the optic and factory plate cover must be installed before mounting the tool on the slide. (No plate cover necessary with the GUNSMITH Series.)
The DIY-series kit includes the sight pusher with stainless steel bolt, locking wedge, Allen key, Go / No-Go gauges for troubleshooting, steel Glock front sight tool, oil and threadlocker.
This sight pusher weighs 1.4 lbs. and is rated for 50-100 sight installations.
Retail Price: $150.00
GUNSMITH-Series™ Sight Pusher Install Kit for Glock®
Engineered for professional use, and DIYers who demand the best performance from their tools, the GUNSMITH Series offers the fastest Glock sight installation. Instead of an Allen key to move the rear slide, this tool comes with a T-handle for even more leverage and easier turning to slide the rear sight. The handle doubles as a front sight tool and both it and the tool bolt are equipped with magnets. The magnet in the bolt head secures the multi-function T-handle while installing rear sights. When installing front sights, the magnetic hex bit securely holds the Glock front sight’s screw in place for a drop-free installation process.
This series fits all Glock OEM and aftermarket slides and is Glock MOS compatible for easy installation of sights with a red dot sight mounted on the pistol.
The GUNSMITH-Series kit includes the professional grade rear sight pusher with steel black oxide bolt, multi-function T-handle / magnetic steel Glock front sight tool, Go / No-Go gauges for trouble shooting, and built-in centering scale.
This sight pusher weighs 1.8 lbs. and is rated for 200+ sight installations.
Retail Price: $200.00
The XS Sights Inline Rear Sight Pusher Tools are designed for use with the XS R3D and F8 Night Sights, however, they will work with many other brands of aftermarket sights. Maximum tool life is estimated based on installing XS R3D Night Sights in Glock OEM slides. Aftermarket slides do not mirror Glock’s exact dovetail. Users should expect to apply 50% to 75% more force on aftermarket slides which applies more load on the tool, reducing lifespan. A sight pusher is not necessary for installations of XS’ flagship DXT2 Big Dot night sights.
“Knowledge from our 25-plus years of sight manufacturing and gunsmithing experience went into the development of these Inline Rear Sight Pusher Tools, and we are excited to give Glock owners such versatile sight pushers that are easy to use and work with all Glock pistols,” said Addison Monroe, Marketing Manager, XS Sights. “Portability is an important factor, so we used an aluminum body that is 40% lighter than other Glock-only sight pushers on the market. Compatibility with suppressor-height sights and red dot optics was another key consideration, given the increasing popularity of both. The design gives ample clearance for taller sights and allows windage adjustments to the rear sight of MOS pistols while keeping the red dot sight attached to the slide.”
Made in the USA from 6061 T6 aluminum that is hard coat anodized, versatile, durable, and reliable, the XS sight pusher tools make changing sights on Glocks easy. All the more reason to upgrade your factory sights with XS night sights that are highly visible in any light.

About XS Sights
XS Sights is known for making the fastest sights in any light. For more than 25 years, the XS team has created some of the most innovative sights on the market today for pistols, rifles and shotguns. Whether used for personal defense or hunting, these sights are designed and built to be the absolute best for their specific purpose. American Made. Texas Proud. 2A Strong.

A World-Class Collaboration: Ball and Buck x Blaser R8 Hunting Rifle
Gunnison, CO – December 13th, 2022 – Sporting lifestyle brand Ball and Buck and premium firearms manufacturer Blaser, announce their partnership with the debut of the special edition Ball and Buck x Blaser R8 hunting rifle. The rifle, reimagined by Ball and Buck founder and sportsman Mark Bollman IV, follows in their long-line of outdoor industry leading brand collaborations that include the likes of New Balance®, Danner Boots®, and Jeep®. Each rifle is hand-crafted from ultra premium wood, aerospace grade aluminum, and proprietary Ball and Buck materials.
“Four years ago I began the journey to create the best rifle on the planet–one that combined Ball and Buck’s timeless and understated style on the outside and industry leading technology and performance on the inside. With the precision engineering of German craftsmen and women, we took the iconic Blaser R8 Platform and infused our proprietary materials and design details to create an heirloom rifle that’s fit for a display case, but built to be used afield.”
The Ball and Buck x Blaser Signature R8 rifle begins its life with a hand carved stock and forearm from high-grade walnut; then it’s buffed with a smooth matte oil finish before it’s crowned with Ball and Buck signature leather and a pop of blaze orange stitching for a luxurious feel that only gets better with age. Every detail of this rifle was intentional from the custom engraved matte black receiver to its gold inlays, bolt head, and trigger and finally the individually numbered pistol grip cap.
“It was a pleasure bringing Mark’s vision to life and building a custom R8 that represents both brands so cohesively,” said Christian Socher, CEO, Blaser GmbH. “We are excited to introduce this elegant R8 rifle to Ball and Buck customers who, like our own clientele, appreciate superior performance and exceptional craftsmanship.”
The Ball and Buck x Blaser R8 Rifle is available exclusively through Clay Shooter’s Supply in Dallas, TX. Inquire today at ballandbuck.com.

ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons Added to SHOT Show All-Star Jam Lineup
LAS VEGAS — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is thrilled to announce that ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons will perform at the 2023 SHOT Show’s All-Star Jam—a free, private concert for all SHOT Show® attendees featuring some of the most notable names in rock and country music.
Presented by Outdoor Sportsman Group, the concert will take place the evening of January 18 outside Caesars Forum, next to the SHOT Show’s Great Outdoors Plaza. VIP sponsors of the concert include Glock as well as Federal and Remington Ammunition.
At the SHOT Show’s All-Star Jam, Gibbons will take the stage with country star Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry and .38 Special’s Don Barnes.
Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Johnny Van Zant was originally slated to perform. In his place, his good friend Barnes has agreed to step in.
Along with the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons is unquestionably one of the finest blues-rock guitarists to ever emerge from Texas. During the 1970s and 80s, ZZ Top became one of the country’s top rock bands and Gibbons’ exceptional playing influenced a wide variety of players who became guitar legends themselves.
Don Barnes is one of the founding members of the Southern rock band .38 Special, performing lead vocals on many of the group’s biggest hits. As a seasoned music veteran, he is one of those exceptional artists who continue to improve over time.
Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry recently released “Outskirts,” a seven-song EP. With 20 plus charted singles, the Kentucky native has earned CMA, ACM, and GRAMMY awards and nominations with undeniable blue-collar anthems.
Part of a new series of events called “SHOT After Dark,” the All-Star Jam concert will be held Wednesday evening right after show hours. Tuesday evening will feature an Industry Welcome Reception happy hour and a Networking Reception will be held on Thursday evening, both being held out on the Caesars Plaza.

THAW is the Leader in Personal Rechargeable Heating Devices
Fort Worth, Texas (December 12, 2022) – Personal winter comfort is one of the most challenging things to attain, especially on short excursions into the snow. Everyone will pack themselves tight with thermal base layers and build on top of that to stay warm. However, when people become stationary, their bodies no longer produce as much heat, which can lead to some nasty chills.
THAW has brought to market many easy-to-use products meant for personal warmth. Their lineup of rechargeable battery-operated devices heat up quickly and provide necessary warmth for short or all-day usage. THAW also understands that needed heat isn’t just restricted to the hands and feet.
When it comes to rechargeable heating devices, THAW’s Rechargeable Hand Warmers and seat pads take the cake. These hand warmers use USB-C and even double as a power bank. There are two sizes, small and large, each of which heats both sides. Additionally, their Rechargeable Heated Seat Pad offers up to 17 hours of heat when connected to a power bank. It utilizes a USB connection and can be used in a variety of seasons. These devices reinvent the traditional hand and tush warmers.
No extremity can not be forgotten, and the THAW Bluetooth™ enabled heated insoles provide app-controlled warming for your feet. The Rechargeable Heated Insoles are fully adjustable to keep you completely comfortable, no matter preferred temperature. Available for Android and iOS platforms, the THAW app also monitors battery life, streams weather forecasts and allows users to share devices with friends. Staying warm has never been so easy.
If electric rechargeables aren’t your preference, THAW still offers disposable air-activated warmers. This air activation provides exceptional reactive length. Often surpassing the competition, these disposable hand warmers let users move on with their daily outdoor tasks.
No matter what the needs are, THAW has something for everyone. Fast outdoor activities can be paired with a rechargeable system without worrying about wasting activated hand warmers by personalizing the warmth for the need. Likewise, air-activated disposable hand warmers can be used for extended lengths of time. And let’s not forget the caboose! Imagine a long ice fishing expedition while sitting in a shack or directly in the open air. THAW’s Seat Pad can provide all-day personalized warmth without breaking the bank or freezing you out.
