Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. 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.

Exail’s DriX USV takes part in Digital Horizon 22 military exercise by US Navy in Bahrain

DriX Unmanned Surface Vehicle takes part in Digital Horizon 22 military exercise organized by US Navy in Bahrain

Saint-Germain-en-Laye – 19/01/2023 – Exail, formerly iXblue, recently took part in the Digital Horizon Unmanned & Artificial Intelligence Exercise in Bahrain, organized by the US Navy. The U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet held the three-week exercise in December to test new unmanned technologies, as part of its plans to establish the world’s first Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) fleet of one hundred drones in the Gulf by the end of the summer.

The current geopolitical situation means that manned assets are in increasing demand elsewhere, leading the Navy to look to the latest unmanned technologies to expand its capabilities. Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces, set up Task Force 59 last year to speed new tech integration across the 5th Fleet, and seek alternative, cost-effective solutions for conducting Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) missions. Maritime Domain Awareness can be defined as the effective understanding of military and non-military events in the maritime environment that could impact the security, safety, economy, or environment of a nation or a region.

Exail’s DriX USV was among the fifteen USVs and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) selected to participate in the exercise, which staged a Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) mission. The USVs and UAVs were tasked with gathering data on the surface in order to detect and identify potential threats. One of the main requirements was for the drones to communicate with each other using a common OPS system. The complementarity aspect of the different drones was also important, as the 5th Fleet aims to leverage the different capacities of each drone to cover a wide array of competencies in order to produce a Common Operating Picture of what is occurring in a specific zone of water.

With its highly hydrodynamic monohull and drop keel, DriX showed high reliability with excellent seakeeping and speed results, accomplishing its mission of gathering data on the surface and proving its capacity to successfully integrate third party radar and cameras. The ability of DriX to integrate within a military communications network was successfully proven, thanks to its wide range of communication means (including Certus, 4G, Wifi and Silvus). The USV further meets requirements in terms of communications redundancy, crucial for minimizing risk during military operations, and is fitted with an advanced collision avoidance system that ensures robust and safe autonomous navigation at sea.

Guillaume Eudeline, Exail’s Naval Autonomy Market Director said:
“We’re very happy about the feedback from the TF59 on DriX’s performance. We’d like to thank the US Navy 5th Fleet for their support throughout the exercise and in particular Capt. Michael Brasseur and his staff. For the first time DriX integrated a multiple-unmanned collaborative military organization, alongside some of the industry’s best. It was a real success and we are proud to have collaborated in this group effort, which showed what unmanned technologies can bring to MDA.”

Big Horn Armory Offers SHOT Show Special on All AR500s

Big Horn Armory Offers SHOT Show® Special on All AR500s

All new AR500 Rifle and Pistol purchases made from Big Horn Armory between Jan. 18. – 22, 2023, will receive a ten percent discount off the order.

Cody, Wyo. (January 2023) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is offering a time-sensitive deal on all of its AR500s in honor of the industry trade show, SHOT Show®, happening this week in Las Vegas, Nevada. Any new BHA AR500 semi-auto rifle or pistol purchased directly from the website between Jan. 18 – 22, 2023, will receive a ten percent discount off their purchase. 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 a braced-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 BoreSteinel 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.

Take advantage of these deals by visiting www.bighornarmory.com, calling 307-586-3700, or emailing general@bighornarmory.com

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.

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES STINGER® COLOR-RITE® LIGHT

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES STINGER® COLOR-RITE® LIGHTFlashlight Allows Users to Better See the Color Spectrum Under Low Light Conditions 

EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 17, 2023 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting tools, introduced the Stinger® Color-Rite®, a rechargeable LED flashlight that features high CRI light with Streamlight’s Color-Rite Technology® for true color recognition in a variety of first responder, outdoor, automotive, and other applications. The compact, powerful new light delivers up to 500 lumens.

The Stinger Color-Rite uses a High Color Rendering Index (90 CRI) LED for enhanced visualization under low light conditions, allowing users to see the color spectrum as they would in natural light. Its softer, warmer beam can help spot subtle details at fire and accident scenes, amplify tracks and blood trails, and match and identify colors in auto and industrial applications, among many other uses.

The new light joins the growing family of Streamlight products with Color-Rite® capability, including the Dualie® 3AA Color-Rite®, the Syclone®, the FlipMate®, the Strion Switchblade®, and the Stinger Switchblade®.

“The new Stinger Color-Rite is an excellent lighting choice for military and first responders, technicians, outdoor enthusiasts, and others when performing tasks under darkened conditions that require exacting attention to detail,” said Streamlight Chief Revenue Officer Michael F. Dineen. “Whether searching for trace evidence, examining fire or accident scenes, or working in tight, dark spaces, it prevents color ‘washout’ while also providing ultra-bright light.”

The new rechargeable light uses a high-power, warm white, 3,000K, 90 CRI LED and features a deep-dish parabolic reflector that produces a concentrated beam with optimum peripheral lighting. It offers three variable lighting modes plus a strobe: High (500 lumens, 17,500 candela, 265-meter beam distance); Medium (275 lumens, 9,000 candela, 190-meter beam distance), and Low (140 lumens, 4,500 candela, 134-meter beam distance).

Gemtech® Releases New ABYSSTM 5.56 Suppressor

SPRINGFIELD, MA., (1/16/2023) – Gemtech®, a leader in cutting-edge innovation and visionary designs within the suppressor industry, is proud to introduce the ABYSSTM 5.56 suppressor.

The durability of the all-new Abyss sets the standard within the heavy use suppressor category. Built on five of Gemtech’s patent-pending technologies, its design allows rounds to pass through while gasses expand into the baffle spaces, lowering pressure, minimizing muzzle flash, and significantly reducing decibels. The Abyss also lessens back pressure by routing gasses forward, away from the shooter for increased comfort and reliability.

Constructed from stainless steel and titanium components, this suppressor is designed with greater wall thickness, durability, and can easily be mounted to barrels through direct thread standards or through Gemtech’s proprietary flash hider, the ETMTM (Elite Taper Mount). The Abyss offers full-size suppression with compact, lightweight convenience and is fully rated for both short barrels and full-auto operation. Let the Abyss absorb all distractions so you can focus on advanced precision.

Gemtech® is proud to introduce the ABYSSTM 5.56 Suppressor. Leave Nothing to Chance.

MSRP: $849.00

SPRINGFIELD, MA., (1/17/2023) – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, is proud to announce the new full-size M&P®5.7 pistol with a 22-round capacity.

In an effort to enhance the performance of the increasingly popular 5.7x28mm round in a polymer handgun platform, Smith & Wesson set out to deliver a new and innovative design that will offer a more reliable, accurate, and consistent shooting experience. Designed within the M&P5.7 is Smith & Wesson’s new gas-operated, locked-breech, rotating Tempo™ Barrel System. Developed to harness the speed of the round, this new 5-inch barrel allows for a quicker extraction once the bullet passes the gas port, creating a more secured fireform effect. This key feature allows for increased precision following the first trigger pull and works to utilize the ballistic advantages of the 5.7x28mm round.

“The M&P5.7 is an exciting new pistol from Smith & Wesson that incorporates a gas-operated Tempo™ Barrel System to effectively harness the 5.7x28mm round, creating a lighter recoil for an overall better shooting experience. Like all Smith & Wesson firearms, the M&P5.7 is proudly made entirely in the USA and is backed by the Smith & Wesson Limited Lifetime Service Policy. Whatever your purpose, the M&P5.7 is versatile, fun, and a must-have,” says Andrew Gore, Product Manager, Handguns.

The M&P5.7 is slide cut for optics to accommodate your preferred micro red dots, has a Picatinny-style rail for added accessories, and includes a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle with thread protector to allow for suppressed shooting capabilities. Its single-action flat-face trigger maintains a crisp break and is designed to allow for consistent finger placement that translates to more accurate and repeatable shooting. This pistol boasts a 22-round capacity and ships with two magazines.

Pick up the TEMPO with accurate and consistent results from the M&P®5.7.

MSRP is $699.00

BERSA, One of the Most Trusted Firearms Brands in the World, Introduce the BERSA AR Rifle Series

Made in America, the new BERSA 9mm and 5.56 AR-style rifles (BAR15) and pistols (BAR9) offer consistent, optimal performance in an affordable platform.

BAR 5.56 16-inch Magpul MOE rifle

Kennesaw, Ga. (January 2023)BERSA, one of the most trusted firearms brands for over 65 years, is proud to introduce its new line of AR-style rifles and pistols proudly made in America.

Six new models under the BAR line-up include three BAR9 pistols with Mission First Tactical furniture, two 5.56 rifles (one with Mission First Tactical furniture and one with Magpul furniture), and one 5.56 pistol with Mission First Tactical furniture. The new line of higher quality AR-style firearms at an affordable price are all produced in Bersa’s new Kennesaw, Georgia state-of-the-art facility.

“During the past two years, BERSA has quietly been reinventing itself as a brand,” Rafael Del Valle, National Director of Sales for BERSA, announced. “The BERSA brand is one of the most popular handguns for concealed carry, and for many first-time handgun owners. We realized that the BERSA brand was a perfect launching pad for a series of AR rifles and pistols featuring the same performance expectations and affordability but in the popular AR format. The exceptional news is that our new AR-style rifles are made in America in BERSA’s new facility in Georgia.”

Partnering with industry leaders in stocks and grips such as Mission First Tactical and Magpul, BERSA produced a series of BERSA AR (BAR15) rifles and (BAR9) pistols ideal for home defense, tactical operations, or trigger time at the local range. Uppers and lowers are produced from 7075 aluminum providing superior strength without excess weight while the barrels are constructed from 4150 chrome moly vanadium, the industry standard for barrels that perform accurately even under strenuous and extreme conditions. Both pistols and rifles feature full-length Picatinny rails ready for mounting optics, lasers, or lights. All are also finished with a type III hard coat anodized finish which provides superior hardness and is known to exceed wear characteristics of similar finishes including hard chrome and ceramic.

“We are truly excited to offer these exceptionally designed and American-made ARs under the BERSA banner,” Del Valle stated. “Our new BERSA AR rifles and pistols are shipping to distributors and retailers across the country and are readily available.”

Hard on the heels of the BERSA AR15 introductions, BERSA will be releasing two additional models in .300 Blackout. Visit BERSA at the 2023 SHOT Show® at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum, in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 17-20, 2023 at Booth # 70805.

LEUPOLD PATROL 6HD NAMED ‘OPTIC OF THE YEAR’ BY SHOOTING ILLUSTRATED

 

Screenshot 2023-01-13 185618

 

Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce that the Leupold Patrol 6HD riflescope has been named “Optic of the Year” by Shooting Illustrated, an official journal of the National Rifle Association. The award–officially known as a Golden Bullseye–will be presented to Leupold at the upcoming NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Indianapolis.

The Golden Bullseye Awards, now in their 21st year, recognize the firearm industry’s top products as voted on by the editors of NRA Publications. To qualify for consideration for a Golden Bullseye Award, the product must have been tested by an NRA staff member or regular contributor, prove to be reliable in the field, meet or exceed the evaluator’s expectations, innovative in design and function, and readily perceived as a value to the purchaser.

“The NRA Golden Bullseye Awards epitomize what NRA members seek in their shooting and hunting equipment: outstanding performance, innovation and value,” said Doug Hamlin, the Executive Director of NRA Publications. “These are the best new products, truly worthy of NRA Member’s attention, and I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all this year’s winners.”

Whether your mission is to protect and serve or you’re looking for an edge in competition, the Patrol 6HD riflescope will help you put more rounds on target. The Patrol 6HD’s ultra-lightweight, low-profile design and 6:1 zoom ratio with an illuminated reticle make this low-power variable optic a hero in tight spaces while still giving you the ability to lock on to mid-range targets.

“The Patrol 6HD offers the best combination of durability, low-light performance and edge-to-edge clarity of any LPVO on the market,” said Bruce Pettet, President & Chief Executive Officer for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “We’re proud that the staff of NRA Publications–representing some of the most experienced media members in the entire shooting industry–have recognized the Patrol 6HD’s unquestioned performance.”

The Patrol 6HD is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, and is covered by Leupold’s Full Lifetime Guarantee.

Rooted in Ancient History, but Built for the 21st Century, Adept Armor Introduces the NovaSteel Ballistic Buckler

Adept Armor’s NovaSteel Buckler shield fills the gap left by contemporary body armor and helmet systems.


Rooted in Ancient History, but Built for the 21st Century, Adept Armor Introduces the NovaSteel Ballistic Buckler 

Adept Armor’s NovaSteel Buckler shield fills the gap left by contemporary body armor and helmet systems.

Tulsa, Okla. (January 2023)Adept Armor, an armor system engineering firm, has just released its new NovaSteel Buckler Shield. The lightweight ballistic shield offers rapidly deployable protection for the vulnerable parts of the face, neck, upper torso, and arms. As such, it quite literally fills the gap left by contemporary body armor systems. Easy to stow, carry, and use – and compatible with a wide variety of lights and other accessories – the NovaSteel Buckler provides a reliable defense from a handgun, edged weapon, blunt impact weapon, and animal attacks, and can double as an extremely effective compliance weapon. It is especially well-suited for use in home defense scenarios.

“The buckler is not a new concept. It is so old that its origins are lost to history,” commented Jake Ganor, President of Adept Armor. “As firepower came to dominate warfare in the 16th and 17th centuries, bucklers gradually fell out of favor and eventually disappeared entirely. We have brought it back with the NovaSteel Buckler because its form makes it a uniquely useful and versatile implement today – especially when it is made of advanced ballistic steel alloy.”

Weighing in at just 3 lbs., the NovaSteel Buckler offers a Level IIIA/VPAM-3 protection. Constructed from an advanced alloy, it features a rugged and durable handle, a nylon carry strap, a Velcro patch for ID or light, and an optional lightweight LED shield light with a strobe function. The ambidextrous ability of the NovaSteel Buckler Shield allows it to be easily switched between hands when in combat and can be used by both left and right-handed users.

Though relatively small at 12.2 in. in diameter, the NovaSteel Buckler Shield is designed to be held away from the body, and as such, it can protect a significantly larger area than its size conveys. Held properly, at arm’s length, it offers a much larger area of protection than most armor plates or vests and can protect typically unarmored areas, like the neck and face. The NovaSteel Buckler is light enough to benefit from its user’s autonomic startle-flinch response, and, with some training, can reliably be properly positioned to protect its wearer from harm.

As the bucklers of olden times were designed to be used alongside the sword, so the NovaSteel Buckler Shield is designed to be used alongside a handgun. Supported on the NovaSteel Buckler Shield’s flat shoulder, handguns are stabilized, and the user’s most vulnerable parts are covered and protected. Furthermore, the NovaSteel Buckler Shield can be used as an offensive weapon in its own right, and particularly excels as a non-lethal compliance weapon. It was designed with this use in mind. MSRP is $195.

GOSAFE™ Unveils Patented Mobile Firearm Security Solution with First-Ever "Safe Inside Your Gun"

GOSAFE™ Unveils Patented Mobile Firearm Security Solution with First-Ever “Safe Inside Your Gun”
New GOSAFE products ensure security and quick access to store or carry with confidence

STAMFORD, Conn. (January 13, 2022) – GOSAFE™, a new firearm security company focused on products, training and risk mitigation, will introduce the GOSAFE™ Mobile Safe and GOSAFE™ Mobile Mag—the very first “safe inside your gun” at SHOT Show. GOSAFE devices offer an innovative solution for both new and experienced gun owners, law enforcement and other security professionals – preventing unauthorized or unintentional use, providing peace of mind and speed to access and mitigating risk.  
GOSAFE reimagines firearms storage by putting the safe inside the gun rather than the gun inside a safe. Both the Mobile Safe and Mobile Mag fit safely and securely inside the firearm, in the same manner as OEM magazines, accessible only via a unique-to-user key.  Once the firearm is locked in GOSAFE mode there is no possibility of an unauthorized user intentionally or accidentally gaining access. The patented technology allows gun owners and professionals to go from loaded and ready to locked whenever and wherever they are.
The innovative concept was designed by leading firearms experts, including former law enforcement and military professionals, to provide real-world security solutions for all gun owners, which according to the 2021 National Firearms Survey, now represents 81.4 million Americans.
“A growing number of gun owners expect viable and manageable solutions for firearms storage as well as a mobile option that provides them with the peace of mind to carry or store their firearm with confidence, and quick access when needed,” said Mark “Oz” Geist, GOSAFE co-founder, former marine and best-selling author. “Whether stored in the home, the car, a purse or carrying in a holster, a firearm in GOSAFE mode makes it impossible for children, home invaders or any unauthorized user to gain access—completely changing the landscape of gun safe options. GOSAFE ensures your firearm is ready when you need it and safe when you don’t.”
Key Product Information, Pricing & Availability
GOSAFE firearm security devices will be available in two options: the GOSAFE
Mobile Safe and the GOSAFE Mobile Mag. Both products feature a unique high security key (multiple key storage solutions are available) and are compatible with all holster varieties and generations of Glock (Glock 17 fits 19X, G34 and G45 and the Glock 19 fits G19). GOSAFE will be available for Smith & Wesson M & P and SIG P320 models in 2023 as well as other models in the future.
GOSAFE Mobile Safe (MSRP $79.99): Lockable, Mobile Security.
The non-loadable magazine-styled mobile safe travels inside the firearm, providing speed and access and eliminates the need for cable and trigger locks. It prevents unauthorized and unintended firearm use by blocking the trigger and securely locking the slide closed. Users can easily switch from GOSAFE to their OEM mag in seconds.

GOSAFE Mobile Mag (MSRP $99.99): Loadable & Lockable Mobile Security.
With a fully-functioning magazine, the Mobile Mag combines mobility and complete security with fast access and cannot be removed from the firearm when locked. Ready-to-fire to locked in a matter of seconds, it blocks the trigger preventing unintended firing even with a round in the chamber when locked.

Exclusive packages for law enforcement and other security professionals are also available. 
GOSAFE Mobile Safe and Mobile Mag will ship to retailers nationwide and will be available to purchase online at
gosafenow.com in February.
SHOT Show, the largest industry trade show in the world, runs from January 17-20, 2023, in Las Vegas, NV. Michael Vrooman, General Manager of GOSAFE Technology, Inc. and Chris Carlberg, VP of Business Development, will be in attendance at GOSAFE Booth #43862 for media interviews throughout the show, and special guest Mark Geist, Key GOSAFE Advisor and member of the Annex Security Team that fought the Battle of Benghazi, will be in attendance with GOSAFE at Industry Day at the Range and for the first day of the show in the GOSAFE booth.

About GOSAFE Technologies, Inc.
Founded by professional gun owners for gun owners, GOSAFE Technologies, Inc. is a revolutionary new leader in mobile firearm security products, training, risk mitigation and outreach initiatives designed to make firearm ownership safe by preventing unauthorized and accidental use. The company is committed to empowering every citizen to safely travel with and store their firearms in absolute confidence. GOSAFE products provide unmatched firearm safety, mobility and quick access empowering gun owners to protect lives by having a mobile safe inside the gun to keep it ready when needed and safe when not.

ROSE by SIG SAUER: A complete solution for women to begin their firearms journey


ROSE by SIG SAUER: A complete solution for women to begin and support their firearms journey

NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 12, 2023) – Introducing ROSE by SIG SAUER™.  Developed by SIG SAUER in collaboration with Team SIG Professional Shooter and 8-time World Champion Lena Miculek, the all-new ROSE brand by SIG SAUER was created to help encourage and inspire women to take on the responsibility of their own personal safety through education, training, and community.

ROSE by SIG SAUER is a complete firearms education program that begins with a custom ROSE P365 kit including a special edition P365-XL COMP ROSE pistol chambered in 9MM or P365-380 ROSE, a custom ROSE Vaultek safe, and instant access to a complete step-by-step video training series with Lena Miculek that is supported by an online community to encourage, inspire, and grow female shooters to become more confident and comfortable.

“For the past ten years I have been exclusively a professional competitive shooter. While I worked hard for my titles, and am proud of all that I have accomplished, the most rewarding part of my career has been to help women overcome fear and get into firearms ownership.  You could say that ROSE blossomed through these experiences and is now made possible by the power of the SIG SAUER brand,” began Team SIG Professional Shooter Lena Miculek.  “ROSE is not only a pistol, it is a kit you take home with you to start your firearms journey and become part of a community where you are supported and can learn at your own pace in an environment you are comfortable in.  I have heard countless times from women that they leave the store with more questions than answers and they want to learn.  This is where ROSE by SIG SAUER comes in; the heartbeat of this program is education and getting you from the retailer to the range so you can start your lasting journey with firearms.”

ROSE by SIG SAUER is a complete program that helps women take the first step towards responsible firearms ownership.  The program begins with the purchase of ROSE by SIG SAUER P365 kit that provides you with all the tools you need including the pistol, safe storage, and dummy rounds to begin your firearms journey and start your training program.  Whether it is your first firearms purchase, or you are just looking to improve your skills, the full online training course, guided by Lena Miculek allows gun owners to get comfortable handling the pistol and ready for the range.  The educational component is further complimented by an online community to support and share the journey as you learn and grow.

“ROSE by SIG SAUER is based on Lena’s years of experiences as a career competitor and in teaching women at every skill level, all over the country.  ROSE was developed to be a complete system, that’s easy to understand, easy to learn and easy to use,” added Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER Inc. “For all that ROSE has to offer including the kit, the program, and the community, the entire package is a tremendous value that will pay dividends from the day you purchase and well into the future as both the ROSE by SIG SAUER brand and program grows.”

The SIG SAUER ROSE kit includes either a custom P365-XL COMP ROSE in 9MM or a P365-380 ROSE with (2) magazines, a signature ROSE Vaultek Lifepod™ pistol safe with built-in lock system and TSA approved, (5) polymer dummy rounds for safe dry-fire practice, a magazine loader, a personal note from Team SIG professional shooter Lena Miculek which includes access to the QuickStart guide and online training series.  Additionally, custom ROSE by SIG SAUER printable practice targets are available for download at sigsauer.com/rose.

Both P365 ROSE pistols feature custom ROSE accents including a laser engraved ROSE polymer grip module, optics-ready slide with X-RAY3 Day/Night sights, and matte rose gold-colored controls including trigger, manual safety, slide catch, and takedown lever.  Additionally, both pistols are optic-ready for direct slide mounting of the SIG SAUER Electro-Optics ROMEOZero Elite optic.  The P365-XL COMP ROSE includes an integrally compensated slide, flat XSERIES trigger, and ships with (2) 12-round 9MM magazines, while the P365-380 ROSE comes standard with a curved trigger, and (2) 10-round magazines.

KOR CASES TO EXHIBIT REVOLUTIONARY UNIVERSAL GUN CASE STORAGE AT SHOT SHOW 2023

Visit Booth #40309

Scottsdale, AZ, U.S. – (January 12, 2023) Visit KOR Cases in booth #40309 at the 2023 NSSF® SHOT Show in Las Vegas, NV, from January 17 to 20 for a first-hand look at the KOR Cases 5er Vacuum Rigidizing Structure (VRS®) universal gun storage insert.

“Never cut, pluck, or pay for foam again,” stated G.P. Searle, Founder of KOR Cases. “Revolutionary VRS 5er foam replacement technology allows you to use your existing gun case to transport any gun in your collection today. Tomorrow, you simply adjust the VRS 5er system and configure the case for a different gun. No more disassembling optics, bipods, or other accessories when heading to and from the field or range. You save space and money by needing only one case because the VRS 5er retrofits your current case, making it truly universal,” he added.

The patented VRS 5er customizes gun case interiors by replacing the bottom layer of foam and secures guns and gear by surrounding them and conforming to the contents. It delivers a tailor-made, turnkey carrying solution for virtually any long gun. And by eliminating the need for cutting and storing foam inserts, VRS provides a versatile, environmentally friendly option in a single system.

“Customers trust this system for maintaining optics zero and keeping heritage firearms safe for quick, in-the-field deployment without worrying their firearms are damaged or out of zero,” stated Searle. “And the system is ultralight, which makes transporting your gear easier.”

The KOR Cases VRS 5er universal gun case storage inserts are retail-friendly, saving space and money. Plus, KOR offers attractive margins to dealers and distributors.

Winchester® Ammunition Introduces New Product for M1 Garand Aficionados

EAST ALTON, IL (January 12, 2023) —Winchester Ammunition announces the launch of a reduced pressure .30-06 ammunition offering optimized for use in M1 Garand rifles. The M1 Garand is much more than a firearm, it is an iconic symbol of the greatest generation’s fight for freedom during WWII.
The M1 Garand is one of the most collectable firearms in the world and the ammo designed for it has become one of the most popular hunting cartridges still to this day. Since its inception however, the .30-06 has been modernized and improved to be flatter shooting for modern hunting rifles while departing from the original design.
Featuring a 150-grain Ball M2 round nose bullet with slower burning powders, the new M1 Garand ammunition is the ideal choice for anyone taking their collectable war-time rifle to the range.
Don’t let that special relic just sit in the safe, pick up a box of Winchester M1 Garand and head to the range to experience history yourself.

Look for new M1 Garand ammunition at a Winchester retailer or dealer near you, and for more information on Winchester Ammunition products visit Winchester.com.
