Ammunition built specifically for personal defense needs continues to be a high priority among first-time firearms buyers.

Winchester® Defender®, Technology Driven Ammunition for Personal Defense

EAST ALTON, IL (July 6, 2023) — Ammunition built specifically for personal defense needs continues to be a high priority among first-time firearms buyers. The Winchester Defender line of ammunition is the most comprehensive lineup of technology driven products in the industry with more than 20 offerings combined in the pistol, shotgun and rifle categories.
The diverse lineup within the Winchester Defender family provides many innovative options to keep you and your family safe in any situation. Winchester Defender products provide leading performance through premium materials and manufacturing processes to create the ultimate self-defense products.
Defender Centerfire Pistol Ammunition—

Jacketed Hollow Point—Six segments help promote positive, consistent and programmed expansion at a variety of impact velocities and ranges.
Proprietary bonding process—Welds lead and jacket together to work as a unit controlling expansion and providing superior retained weight.
Copper alloy jacket—Contoured for maximum expansion over a wide range of velocities/ranges.
Nickel plated shellcase—Helps ensure smooth chambering and shellcase ejection.

Defender Centerfire Rifle Ammunition—
Winchester Defender Rifle products feature premium bonded bullets for consistent expansion and deep driving penetration.

Defender Shotshell Ammunition—
Defender Shotshell is available in 12 gauge, 20 gauge and .410 bore with multiple payload offerings including segmenting slugs, buck shot and combination loads.

Defender Close Range was designed with home defense in mind, where likely shooting distances are within 10-20 feet. This load offers an incredibly high pellet count with approximately 100 copper plated lead #2 pellets which deliver tremendous energy on target while still reducing the risk of over penetration. The load is further improved by a cushioned wad that reduces felt recoil and an engineered wad for consistent dense patterns at close range.

The .410 Defender ammunition is compatible in both handguns and shotguns and features a distinctive black hull and black oxide high-base head and combines plated Defense Disc™ projectiles and plated BB shot pellets. The result is the ideal personal defense load for short range engagement with the performance needed to reduce aim error and stop threats.

A Hoot to Shoot – Getting Rowdy with Bond Arms

Posted on Friday, 7 July, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

A Hoot to Shoot – Getting Rowdy with Bond Arms®

Granbury, TX (July 6, 2023) – Target practice, home defense and concealed carry are all examples of a perfect fit when it comes to the Rowdy compact pistol by Bond Arms®. Proudly made in Texas by Texans, Bond Arms pistols are sturdy enough to be an everyday carry, compact enough to make discrete concealment a breeze and powerful enough to make it count when it matters most. Not to mention, it’s an absolute blast out on the range!

Chambered in .45 Long Colt and .410 shotshell, the Rowdy packs plenty of punch regarding stopping power. Handgun enthusiasts love the precision of the .45 caliber barrel, but switching to the .410 and blowing a hole through your range target is quite a sight! The Rowdy is machined from first-quality stainless steel. The compact pistol comes in at a budget-friendly price point due to the bead blast finish, providing a cool tumbled look while saving manufacturing time but not sacrificing quality.

The stainless steel 3-in. double barrel is interchangeable and compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels, securely mated to the sturdy stainless steel frame. The Rowdy incorporates high-end features like an automatic spent casing extractor, patented rebounding hammer, cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pins and a spring-loaded cammed locking lever; all standard.

Usability and safety are built into the Rowdy firearm. With a standard-sized rubber grip and a trigger guard, the user is guaranteed a safe and comfortable shot on their terms. The front blade and fixed rear sights add for precision targeting before pulling the trigger. The Rowdy is a safe, fantastic option for the grizzled vet and the first-time gunner alike.

A new Addition for 2023 in the Rowdy lineup is the Rowdy XL. This updated version features the same style and power with a longer 3.5 in. barrel and versatile B6 grips. The 3.5 in. barrel has been beefed up compared to the original Rowdy while continuing to provide exceptional accuracy. The overall finish is muted slightly and does not have a hand polished finish. The B6 assists in mitigating recoil via the rubberized construction, and it’s a durable material suitable for a broad range of environments. The Rowdy XL has the potential to become a staple double-barrel handgun item in everyone’s arsenal.

Bond Arms customers are leaving rave reviews like: “You certainly can’t go wrong with the quality for this price.” and “Turned out to be a good concealed and home defense gun in .410 home defense shells or 45LC. Just can’t beat it for an all-around little gun.” The versatility on the range, the functionality in use and the budget-friendly price point all make the Rowdy from Bond Arms a hoot to shoot.

Rowdy Features:

· Stainless steel double-barrel and frame
· Compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels
· Automatic spent casing extractor
· Patented rebounding hammer
· Retracting firing pins
· Cross-bolt safety
· Spring-loaded, cammed locking lever

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. 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.

Henry Repeating Arms Donates Over $1 Million for Silver Anniversary

Thursday, July 6, 2023

Gunmaker’s charitable branch, Guns for Great Causes, aims to give back and balance the narrative about firearm manufacturers

RICE LAKE, Wis., July 6, 2023 – Last year, Henry Repeating Arms Founder & CEO Anthony Imperato pledged to donate $1 million through its Guns for Great Causes charitable arm to celebrate the company’s twenty-fifth year in business. Today, Henry Repeating Arms, one of the country’s leading firearms manufacturers and a world leader in the lever action category, is proud to announce its fully honored pledge, with over 30 different organizations receiving donations totaling $1,037,500 since June 2022.

“I am most proud of being able to look back on the last twenty-five years of business and say with conviction that we were able to make a positive difference in the lives of others,” Imperato said. “More often than not, our industry is vilified and left with a perpetual black eye by the media. We, however, are determined to continue leading the charge in counteracting that narrative by showing how much positive impact we have as responsible corporate citizens.”

The primary focus of the company’s Guns for Great Causes initiative is pediatric cancer care, which it addressed with over $200,000 in donations. In addition, Henry Repeating Arms manages an ongoing program to provide financial relief to individual families of sick children going through treatments by creating, donating, and selling limited edition runs of custom engraved rifles and presenting the family with 100% of the sales. This program recently raised over $40,000 for the family of 14-year-old Jack Troxel of Vancouver, Washington, who was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Military veteran organizations received a total of $375,000 from the silver anniversary campaign, including the nation’s largest, like the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars, and those specifically providing aid to the wounded and families of the fallen, like Disabled American Veterans, Building Homes for Heroes, and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. In addition, charities benefiting law enforcement, first responders, and their families received $225,000, including the Border Patrol Foundation, National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, and the First Responder’s Children’s Foundation.

Henry Repeating Arms also continued its support for some of the country’s most impactful wildlife and habitat conservation groups like the National Wild Turkey Federation, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, and Quail Forever with a total of $100,000 to assist with their efforts in conserving land and preserving access for future generations of hunters to enjoy.

Second Amendment rights advocacy groups, those working to preserve and promote America’s shooting sports heritage, and programs responsible for teaching firearm safety and responsible ownership received a total of $130,000.

For a complete list of beneficiaries from Henry Repeating Arms’ 25th-anniversary donations, visit henryusa.com/25-year-anniversary. To learn more about the company and its catalog of more than 200 models, visit henryusa.com.

GMT™ Guarantee:

Grey Man Tactical™ warranties its products against defects in workmanship and materials. If you have a defective product, we will gladly replace it at no cost to you. This does not apply to third party products.

About GMT™:

In 2012, Paul Capdepon lived in an area where he preferred the contents of his personal gear to not be known. He carried a nondescript commuter-style backpack and wanted the ability to organize EDC-type gear. Not finding a suitable option, Paul decided to adapt the traditional MOLLE-style grid and designed the first Rigid MOLLE Panel™ to insert into any backpack with a 15″ laptop sleeve.

After receiving interest in the Rigid MOLLE Panel™ Paul had made for his own gear, he decided to launch a basic website in 2014 to begin selling them. Paul worked with local manufacturers from his home state of Louisiana as the demand for expanding the range of RMP™ sizes quickly increased. GMT™ has performed extensive testing and evaluations in the most adverse and demanding conditions. GMT™ then incorporated customer feedback to optimize performance in creating a dependable organizational platform.

The RMP Series™ has since been utilized by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies – specifically the DOS, DOJ, DHS, FBI, USMS, USBP, NYPD and LAPD to US Armed Forces, including the US Army, USAF, USN, USMC, USCG and USSOCOM – with implementation in missions assigned across Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and surrounding areas of operation. As a result, the RMP Series™ has yielded over 1,000 Five Star Reviews in our efforts to make critical gear rapidly accessible.

It is our ongoing passion to serve the prepared citizens, outdoorsmen, Law Enforcement, First Responders and Armed Forces communities, and we look forward to continuing to create gear that enables you to perform at the highest standard.

Do You Understand Tariffs?

Posted on Friday, 7 July, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is tariff_war_adobestock_271429043.cropped-ca733b8f1af44df2a94a2a57ae53ddf2.jpg

I hope you’ve all had an outstanding 4th of July. If you did any grilling, you felt the impact inflation has had on the staples, a condition that’s unlikely to change until we give the Green New Deal a rest and focus on implementing strategies that make sense.

In this shoot the shit we’ll talk about tariffs, how they function and some of the pros and cons. This will be a non-technical discussion, so you won’t feel like you need to spend time on the couch of a jackass who majored in psychology so they can understand themselves.

For those new to the concept of a shoot the shit, it is a social interaction during which any subject is discussed, participants don’t need to know anything about the topic, they can make any unsupported comment, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject at will.

So, let’s get started…

A tariff is a trade barrier imposed on imports to protect domestic markets. Unlike what you may have thought, the exporter, or their country, does not pay the tariff, it is paid by the importer, and results in a higher cost to manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and consumers. So, if you manufacture widgets and need to import 1/4-20 screws from a supplier in a tariffed country, your production cost will be higher due to the imposed tariff. You’ll look for a lower cost source, if one is available, or you’ll subsequently sell your widget at a higher price to recover cost.

Tariff policy is a Congressional responsibility but delegated to the Executive Branch where it is administered by the International Trade Administration. US Customs and Border Protection Service is responsible for collecting the tariff.

A tariff has the following impacts:

1. The tariff imposed on the 1/4-20 screws makes the imported screw more expensive than a domestically produced screw, or one imported from a country that’s not tariffed
2. To protect its markets, the tariffed country could devalue its currency, which is what China does readily, or tries to position itself as a sole supplier. China is actively working to achieve that goal across several critical sectors.
3. The impact of tariffs falls on the consumer. The consumer has three options:
  1. They can substitute – which means substituting the higher priced widget with a dumaflache.
  2. They can altogether forgo buying the widget if it’s not essential, which has a deleterious impact on the overall economy.
  3. If the widget is a necessity and there are no acceptable substitutes, the consumer pays the higher price.

On the aggregate, United States tariffs average about 2% of the total product value. In most cases, the United State does not impose import tariffs; however, due to aggressive Chinese trade policies, the United States currently imposes a 25 percent tariff on approximately $250 billion of imports from China, and a 7.5 percent tariff on approximately $112 billion worth of imports from China. (Note, tariffs are based on product types, so a screw may be tariffed at 7.5% and an electronic chip may be tariffed at 25%.)

Who benefits from tariffs

The United States government. They see increased revenues
Domestic industry benefits because their market share is protected, due to the higher import product price

Who suffers from tariffs

The consumer
Foreign companies who compete fairly

I hope this helps you understand what tariffs are and some of their associated dynamics, good and bad.

Have a great weekend and schedule your own shoot the shit.

The MDT Vertical Grip Premier with Connector Bar is now available with a starting price of $159.95 USD and can be found at https://mdttac.com/mdt-vertical-grip-premier-with-connector-bar/

Upcoming CMMC Webinar

Upcoming CMMC Webinar

CMMC: NIST SP800 Revision 3 Part 2
Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 1pm ET

Sponsored by:

The government requires federal contractors to protect controlled unclassified information in accordance with requirements defined in NIST SP 800-171 Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations. Contractually the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) has aligned their cybersecurity practices with the current version of 800-171, Revision 2. On May 10th, the government issued the draft of Revision 3 (Rev3). Rev3 is denser than its predecessor and adds three new domains. It is better written, clearer, and often more concise; however, while the number of requirements remained the same, NIST renumbered and stacked multiple items into a single control/security requirement, resulting in what appears to be a net increase for 3rd Party assessments. Join Amira Armond, President Kieri Solutions and Vice Chair, C3PAO Stakeholder Forum, Ryan Heidorn, Chief Technology Officer for C3 Integrated Solutions, Jacob Horne, Chief Security Evangelist, Summit 7 and Vince Scott, CEO of the Defense Cybersecurity Group for our second webinar focused on upcoming changes. This webinar will cover requirements for external systems and service providers, and answer questions about transitioning to or implementing Rev3 requirements. The Government is expected to issue the finalized standard Revision 3 in January 2024.

Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) Webinar

Tuesday, August 22, 2023, at 1pm ET

What matters in DoD? If you tell me what’s resourced, I’ll tell you what matters.

DoD uses four distinct processes to manage department resourcing: Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution. These processes, led by different groups with different incentives/priorities and levels of knowledge, skills, and experience, run simultaneously, while actions taken in one can ripple across to the others. Gaining an understanding of each process will provide context to WID and NDIA members as they pursue DoD business opportunities.

On Tuesday, August 22, Col (Ret) Rachel McCaffrey, NDIA’s VP of Membership and Chapters and Executive Director or Women in Defense, will again share her PPBE knowledge and insights in a webinar exclusively for NDIA and WID members. Join her for an interesting, practical discussion of DoD resourcing.

The U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour Drives onto Fort Cavazos, July 9, 2023

Posted on Thursday, 6 July, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

The U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour Drives onto Fort Cavazos, July 9, 2023

Formerly named Fort Hood, Fort Cavazos is the US Army’s premier installation to train and deploy heavy forces and is the only base in the US capable of stationing and training two armored divisions.

Lexington, KY (July 2023) – U.S. Patriot, a GALLS® company, and one of the largest military suppliers of uniforms, boots, and gear, will be rolling into Fort Cavazos for a July 9th event at the base exchange, located at the Clear Creek Exchange, Bldg. 4250 Clear Creek Blvd.

The USP team will drive a 2023 Jeep® Wrangler Willys 4×4 that is part of the Bravery Tours promotion during this 6800-mile, 25-military base tour. The team will also offer food, drink, promos, giveaways, and more. The event is open to all former and current military members and their families.

“The purpose of this tour is to meet our customers face-to-face, get to know our troops, and bring their voice directly into how we serve them better for their tactical gear needs.,” Mike Fadden, CEO of U.S. Patriot, said. “There is no better way to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who serve our country than to meet them in person, celebrate their stories and create a fun and memorable event they can enjoy with their families.”

The tour will be interactive, and the military service members will be encouraged to leave their unit’s memorabilia on the Jeep, making it one-of-its-kind by the end of the tour. At the conclusion of the tour, the Jeep will be given away through a sweepstake random drawing to one lucky winner. All active-duty military members, national guard members, reservists, military retirees, military veterans, and dependents of active-duty military members are eligible to enter the sweepstakes. No purchase is necessary.

Big Horn Armory Celebrates Independence Day with Exciting Sale

Posted on Friday, 30 June, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Big Horn Armory Celebrates Independence Day with Exciting Sale

Save 17.76 percent on an AR500 rifle or pistol when purchased between July 1 – 9, 2023.

Cody, Wyo. (July 2023) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is proud to announce its Memorial Day Sale, is thrilled to announce its Independence Day Sale, offering firearms enthusiasts the opportunity to save big on their AR500 rifle or pistol purchases. From July 1 – 9, 2023, customers can enjoy an incredible 17.76 percent off on all AR500 firearm purchases, celebrating our nation’s independence with unbeatable savings.

As a proud American company, BHA understands the significance of Independence Day and aims to commemorate it with this exclusive sale. The 17.76 percent discount pays tribute to the year of the United State’s historic Declaration of Independence, reminding us all of the principles of freedom and liberty that our nation was built upon.

“We are excited to offer this significant discount to our valued customers as we celebrate the Fourth of July,” said Greg Buchel, President of Big Horn Armory. “Independence Day is a time to honor our great nation and the value it represents. We hope that this sale allows our customers to exercise their Second Amendment rights while enjoying substantial savings on our top-of-the-line AR500 rifles and pistols.”

During the sale, firearm enthusiasts can explore BHA’s impressive selection of AR500 rifles and pistols renowned for their exceptional quality, reliability, and accuracy. From the rugged and versatile AR500 rifle to the compact and maneuverable AR500 pistol, customers will find the perfect firearm to suit their needs, whether it is for self-defense, hunting, or sport shooting.

Chambered in 500 Auto Max, BHA’s groundbreaking AR500 Rifle is the most powerful AR firearm available. BHA was not content with the big bore cartridge offerings available in the AR platform, so the company made its own. The logical choice was something to match the power and versatility of BHA’s Model 89 Lever Action in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The result was the development of the 500 Auto Max, a rimless 500 S&W Magnum to feed in a semi-automatic rifle.

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

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

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.

For more on Big Horn Armory, visit www.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.

The Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA), an independent medical group that focuses on evidence-based practices in the delivery of audio-vestibular care, has circulated a letter to Representative Jeff Duncan (R-SC-03) and Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) supporting the deregulation of suppressors through the Hearing Protection Act. Their rationale is simple: suppressors are a tool that can help prevent noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and other hearing damage.

“As an independent medical group, the Academy of Doctors of Audiology has absolutely no vested interest in suppressors outside of the positive impact that they have on hearing conservation,” said Knox Williams, Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association. “Their endorsement of the Hearing Protection Act, which would give law-abiding citizens improved access to suppressors, highlights the importance of these tools when it comes to firearms safety. We applaud ADA for putting this letter together and actively supporting hearing conservation.”
