Swagger Bipods QD Series, Ideal for Western Hunting

Swagger Bipods QD Series, Ideal for Western Hunting

Grand Island, NE. November 8, 2022 – For many hunters, kicking off another big game season is spent traveling to the western United States to hunt screaming bull elk or a monster mule deer. Whether hiking up and down the majestic Rocky Mountains, trekking through the plains, or foothills farther north, the hunt will be demanding. In sharp contrast to deer hunting, hunters cannot sit in a treestand or blind and wait for the game to come into close range. Western hunting requires packing a firearm and a large backpack full of all the essential gear the hunter may need. To make it more challenging, the hunter must travel the rough terrain until they find an animal, get into close range, and find an area where they can make the shot.

When a giant bull elk or a mature mule deer is spotted, the hunter only has a limited time to set up and make the shot. Quick Adapt Technology that the QD series has allows the bipods to attach and detach in seconds. If the hunter needs to move to a different area, the QD can stay attached to the rifle or quickly detach, allowing the hunter to move to a different area quickly. The QD series provides the proper shooting position in any terrain, giving the shooter control, maneuverability, and stability, unlike conventional shooting sticks or bulky shooting rest.

When western hunting, you have to make quick decisions, and long hikes are involved. Sometimes the elk or mule deer you see can be over a mile away; having lightweight bipods or shooting sticks can make the trek easier. The QD weighs only 15 ounces and can outperform other bipods because of its range of 14” to 42”. The QD is like having a bipod and shooting stick in one. The QD series attaches quickly to any firearm and allows the hunter to maintain a proper shooting position when sitting, kneeling, or prone. The QD series is ideal for carrying along or quickly packing into a bag until ready to use.

Swagger Bipods has developed the perfect bipod that meets all the western hunting big game demands. The QD series is ideal for carrying along or quickly packing into a bag until ready to use. With Swagger’s Quick Adapt Technology, the QD’s attach to a firearm within seconds to give the hunter a solid shooting rest no matter where the hunt takes them.

QD42 Specs and Features

  • · Weight: 15 ounces
  • · Effective Range: 14” to 42”
  • · Compact, lightweight and true mobility in the field with the push of a button.
  • · Quick Adapt Technology
  • · Shoot from seated, kneeling and prone positions
  • · A removable rubber foot reveals a spiked foot to help the shooter dig into the terrain for a solid shot.
  • · Attaches to standard sling swivel stud with included adapter

Swagger Bipods are made in the USA, incorporating numerous unique high-performance features, including our patented Flex Ready Technology built into many of our products. At Swagger, we are confident our bipods will do for you what no bipod has ever done before, and back this claim with our Limited Lifetime Guarantee.

Swagger bipods are also covered by our Shoot With Confidence Guarantee. If your Swagger bipod does not give you more shooting flexibility and more shooting confidence, send the product back to us within 30 days of purchase, with proof of purchase from an authorized dealer, and we will buy it back. No questions asked.

Streamlight Introduces Rechargeable ProTac 2.0 Headlamp


STREAMLIGHT® INTRODUCES RECHARGEABLE PROTAC® 2.0 HEADLAMP

Provides 2,000 Lumens; Uses New SL-B50® Battery with Integrated USB-C Port

EAGLEVILLE, PA, November 7, 2022 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, launched the 2,000-lumen ProTac® 2.0 Headlamp, a high-performance rechargeable headlamp that also offers long run times. The headlamp is powered by the new Streamlight SL-B50® battery pack that charges directly via an integrated USB-C port.

“The new ProTac 2.0 Headlamp provides super bright light, along with the ease and convenience of recharging the new SL-B50 battery pack either inside or outside of the light via a USB-C charge cord,” said Streamlight Chief Revenue Officer Michael F. Dineen. “With 2,000 lumens of brightness and long run times, it’s a great choice for first responders, outdoor enthusiasts and industrial professionals alike.”

The ProTac 2.0 Headlamp uses the SL-B50 Streamlight proprietary 4,900mAh protected Lithium-Ion USB rechargeable battery, accessed by the light’s sliding sleeve. The battery is keyed to ensure proper alignment of the charging port, and features LED status lights to indicate charging status, including red for charging and green for fully charged. An integrated safety circuit protects the battery from accidental overcharge or discharge.

The new light offers the latest LED technology for extreme brightness and provides three operating modes – High, Medium and Low. On High, it delivers 2,000 lumens and 14,500 candela; on the Medium setting, it provides 650 lumens and 4,200 candela and on Low, it offers 110 lumens and 750 candela. Run times range from 25 hours on low to 2.25 hours on high.

The ProTac 2.0 Headlamp features a multi-function, push-button switch which permits one-handed operation of the light’s momentary and constant on modes. Its TEN-TAP® programmable switch allows for user selection of three different programs: high/medium/low (factory default); high only; or low/high.

Fabricated from 6000 series machined aircraft aluminum with an anodized finish, the ProTac 2.0 Headlamp features a glass lens with anti-reflective coating that also is gasket sealed.

The ProTac 2.0 Headlamp is 4.92 inches wide and 2.56 inches deep with a head diameter of 1.46 inches. It weighs 10.48 ounces with the included SL-B50 rechargeable battery. The light has an IP64-rated design for dust-tight and water-resistant operation, and is impact-resistant tested to 2 meters.

Available in black, the ProTac 2.0 Headlamp comes with a USB-C charge cord and both an adjustable elastic head strap that fits comfortably over the head, and a rubber hard hat strap that stays firmly in place. It has an MSRP of $195.00 and comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

WildEar’s SafEarz™ Protects Hearing While Filtering Out Unwanted Sounds

WildEar’s SafEarz™ Protects Hearing While
Filtering Out Unwanted Sounds

WALKER, Minn.  (Nov. 7 , 2022) — SafEarz™ is a simple, affordable way to protect your hearing against unwanted sounds. SafEarz ready-fit earplugs are available with three distinct filter options, Shooter, Everyday, and Toggle. The Shooter filter reduces high-intensity sounds such as gunfire, while still allowing you to have face-to-face conversations and hear sounds around you. The Everyday filter turns down the volume (noise) without sacrificing listening quality (the sounds you want to hear – music, warning signals, speech, etc.). The Everyday filter is ideal for lawn work, indoor or outdoor music concerts, and other activities with moderate noise. Our special Toggle option engages the Everyday filter when the toggle is in the open position and offers full protection when the toggle is closed. This product is best when you are in and out of the noise and would like the option to close the toggle for full protection (great for power tools and loud sporting events).

SafEarz incorporates a three-flange earplug design for a tight but comfortable fit in the ear canal, with four sizes (small, medium, large, and extra-large) to ensure you get the right fit for your ears. Unlike disposable products, SafEarz are simple to clean and will provide months of reliable use. Each package includes one set of the selected filter, a lanyard, and a convenient storage case. The suggested retail price is $44.50-$49.50.

Federal’s 30 Super Carry Cartridge Named ‘Ammo of the Year’ by Guns & Ammo Magazine

GA-2022-Ammo-OfThe-Year_Award_lg (002)

Federal’s 30 Super Carry Cartridge Named ‘Ammo of the Year’ by Guns & Ammo Magazine

ANOKA, Minnesota – November 7, 2022 – Guns & Ammo magazine recently awarded Federal’s 30 Super Carry Handgun Ammunition as Ammo of the Year for 2022. The announcement was made in the December, 2022 issue of the publication. Released in 2022, the 30 Super Carry bridges a gap in self-defense loads, delivering a unique, compact, and ultra-effective option for everyday carry.

The article stated: “The 30 Super Carry is a forward-looking cartridge. The way the industry innovates is to push boundaries beyond what already exists. The introduction of the 30 Super Carry paves the way for the future development of new pistols that use modern manufacturing to optimize capacity, dimensions, ergonomics and weight.”

To win the award of Ammo of the Year, the 30 Super Carry met the demands of being a reliable new to market product. The 30 Super Carry from Federal was tested rigorously for performance and judged on a point system of quality, design, and affordability. Testing was conducted by the editors and contributors of Guns & Ammo Magazine.

“Federal is very excited to have the 30 Super Carry named as Ammo of the Year,” said Federal Ammunition’s Senior Director of Engineering Drew Goodlin. “The 30 Super Carry has better terminal performance than a 380 Auto and as much muzzle energy as a 9mm Luger, all with a .312-inch projectile. Paired with Federal’s proven HST bullet, the 30 Super Carry can be used in a smaller firearm platform without compromising performance or carrying less rounds.”

The 30 Super Carry can hold 12 or more rounds in a magazine that is like the size of a 10-round 9mm Luger. The 30 Super Carry is offered by Federal with a 100-Grain HST bullet design and an American Eagle Full Metal Jacket option.

Starting Monday, November 7, and lasting through Friday November 11, Brownells will track purchases at www.Brownells.com and give 4% of those sales to SOWW.

As part of the Veterans Day week event, Brownells will release both special discount codes and gift card offers at www.Brownells.com.

SOWW works to provide therapeutic outdoor experiences to wounded SOCOM veterans, as well as other types of professional therapy and assistance to veterans and their spouses and families.

The SOWW Board of Directors accept no salaries and SOWW maximizes its ability to directly support veterans and their families in every way it can.

“Brownells has been helping SOWW since the organization started,” said Brownells Vice President of Marketing Ryan Repp. “We’re proud to support SOWW’s mission, and the men and women who have done so much under very tough circumstances for the United States.”

To see short video interviews with veterans who have benefited from SOWW’s efforts, visit the Brownells SOWW page.

EXTREMA RATIO: METAVERSE AND NFT

Extrema Ratio Metaverse 

Extrema Ratio pushes its innovative soul beyond the limits of reality and into the Extremaverse to create a virtual world with exclusive products for its customers.

The future of the Internet? A realization of the virtual reality dreams of so many sci-fi authors – from Philip K. Dick’s Johnny Mnemonic down to Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One – in which cyberspace becomes a parallel world that can be reached and lived in through dedicated interfaces not unlike our own reality.

This is the Metaverse. Named using a term first created by American sci-fi writer Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel Show Crash, the Metaverse was conceived as a digital universe whose users live and interact through an Avatar by using wearable devices such as smart glasses, smart gloves, tactile suits, helmets and virtual reality visors. With everything deeply interwoven to the Web, the Metaverse allows users to live a life that’s parallel to their real-world life.

In a not too distant future, the Metaverse may very well become a true digital extension of the real world; users will be able to study and work on the other side of the world, buy products and services, operate on a critical patient, watch a movie as if they were on the set, play a videogame as if they were part of the program itself; all without leaving the comfort of their own homes.

The date of November 17, 2022 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the foundation of Extrema Ratio, which ever since its first day of activity has been striving to push ahead the borders of design, experience, innovation and emotion in the real world where its customers live. Now it is time for Extrema Ratio to become part of the parallel world of the Multiverse as well.

That’s why EXTREMAVERSE was established: a personalized virtual space where Metaverse users can live the Extrema Ratio experience either with or without wearable VR devices.

 

A set of unique digital works will also be available for purchase starting November 17, 2022, as Extrema Ratio introduces a collection of 25 unique NFTs (only 1 piece per each of the 25 models) representing our most iconic knives.
What are NFTs? Basically, they are like collectibles in digital format.

An NFT allows the buyer to own the original work, and contains an integrated authentication mechanism, allowing you to prove the ownership.
The company will launch the NFT collection on the OPENSEA platform based on the Polygon network, which uses ETH as payment currency.

We chose Polygon because in addition to being one of the largest blockchains, it offers faster, more reliable and cheaper NFT transactions for users compared to Ethereum platform.

Furthermore, users have the option to send these NFTs to other people, store them or sell them.
More NFT collections will be released afterwards:

– ‘Limited edition’
– ‘Rare’
– ‘Exclusive’
– ‘Unique’

Further information on this and other initiatives that have been planned for the 25th anniversary of Extrema Ratio will be published starting November 17, 2022, directly on our official website www.extremaratio.com.

Galco’s High Ready Chest Holster for SIG-Sauer P320-XTEN!

Galco Holsters

Galco’s High Ready Chest Holster for

SIG-Sauer P320-XTEN! 

Click to Shop Now

Phoenix, November 2022

Now available for the SIG-Sauer P320-XTEN with or without red dot sights!

Galco’s High Ready™ chest holster system is the latest in an expanding line of torso-worn hunting and outdoor holsters.

The High Ready is ideal for comfortably carrying a large-frame semiauto when hunting, fishing, camping or hiking in bear country. Positioning on the chest keeps the handgun clear of gear carried near the waistline or on the back and allows rifle carry on either shoulder. It also helps keep the handgun dry when wading, and is a great choice for riding, whether on an ATV or horseback.

The High Ready’s outstanding comfort level comes from three major design features:

The first is its innovative backing plate, composed of a ballistic nylon front over a closed cell foam body. The back portion of the plate that rides against the wearer’s chest is lined with Galco’s Comfort Cloth™, an Adaptive Performance Mesh™ that provides padding and moisture wicking.

Secondly, the unique harness construction that allows the holster to pivot at three independent attachment points, maximizing freedom of movement and minimizing restriction. Three quickly-operated, highly secure metal side-release buckles attach the holster component to the harness straps at the pivot points.

Lastly, 2” wide tubular webbing harness straps distribute the weight of a heavy handgun for maximum comfort. One strap goes over either shoulder, while the second wraps around the torso for highly effective weight distribution.

The rigid, open-top Kydex holster pocket offers full slide coverage, provides fast draw and easy holstering, and facilitates a full firing grip. The holster pocket accommodates most red dot sights.

Fisher Space Pen® officially certified through STEM.org as an Official STEM Pen ahead of National STEM Day

Fisher Space Pen® officially certified through STEM.org as an Official STEM Pen ahead of National STEM Day

Boulder City, NV (November 7, 2022) – Fisher Space Pen Co.® is excited to announce its certification through STEM.org as an officially certified STEM product in the writing instrument category. Science, technology and innovation are the foundation of Fisher Space Pen’s pressurized technology, chosen by NASA in 1967 to be the official ballpoint pen flown on all crewed missions in space, most recently with SpaceX. 

Matt Fisher, Vice President of Fisher Space Pen Co. says, “For the next generation of space explorers, STEM is a foundation that creates interest, excitement and dreams in our talented youth.  At Fisher Space Pen Co. we relish sharing our story, and hopefully, our story inspires those who dare to dream big.”

Paul C. Fisher revolutionized the pen industry with the invention of the ‘Universal Cartridge Refill.’ This creation of the sealed and pressurized ink cartridge in the AG7 original astronaut space pen launched the company into space in 1967, debuting on the Apollo 7 mission in 1968. Fisher Space Pen now has its own permanent exhibit inside the Kennedy Space Center, which displays the brand’s history to over three million people a year.

Fisher Space Pen Co. created the AG7, the Original Astronaut Space Pen, to respond to the need for ordinary materials to function well in space. The Original Space Pen has been utilized on every crewed spaceflight since. Additionally, the pen has gained popularity among the general public over the decades. Fisher Space Pen forever revolutionized the pen market through practices and principles in scientific research, engineering and technological advancement.

Fisher Space pen Co. is pleased with this recognition in the form of certification as a STEM product. To celebrate National STEM Day on November 8th this year, Fisher Space Pen Co. hopes to aid people in creating amazing new opportunities through the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

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

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is pleased to announce it has added three professionals — Judyth LeDoux, Patricia Smith and Dale Krupinski — to its compliance consultants team.

LeDoux and Smith will join NSSF’s firearm retailer compliance consultants group, which offers expert guidance on federal regulatory compliance, and Krupinski will focus on providing expert guidance for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance.

“We are extremely pleased to have these three experts, each having decades of experience, amplify NSSF’s ability to provide guidance to federal firearms licensees and shooting ranges so they can be prepared for a compliance audit immediately or in the future,” said John McNamara, Managing Director, Member Services with NSSF.

LeDoux served as the Director, Industry Operations of the Columbus Field Division for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) since July 2013, overseeing ATF regulatory enforcement operations in the states of Ohio and Indiana.

Smith has over 16 years of firearm industry experience, including as Industry Operations Inspector/Investigator with ATF. She conducted over 700 inspections of FFLs and worked as the Acting Area Supervisor for the Birmingham and Mobile Field Offices in the Nashville Field Division. In addition, Smith has trained Industry Operations Inspectors/Investigators and served as an Instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.

Krupinski has over 20 years experience in recognizing, evaluating and controlling workplace safety and health hazards. For the last decade, he’s worked with the shooting range industry to assess OSHA compliance and workplace exposures to airborne lead dust, noise and other hazards. Krupinski previously worked for OSHA as a Compliance Safety and Health Officer. He is a board-certified industrial hygienist and safety professional, as well as an OSHA Authorized Outreach Trainer. He created On Target Safety Academy to provide training and technical occupational safety and health assistance to shooting ranges.

These new team members will assist with answering compliance hotline questions, conducting site visits through the NSSF Premium programs and with hosting live and online educational sessions.

Work will be performed at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) in Independence, Missouri, the United States’ only government-owned, contractor-operated small caliber ammunition production facility.

Take a Detailed Look into the all-new Mantis BlackbeardX

Learn more about BlackbeardX

Are you ready to improve your dynamic shooting?

The Mantis BlackbeardX combines the two most powerful training platforms available – the MantisX and the Mantis Blackbeard. 

It includes motion-based analysis of your efficiency in a high-speed, multi-target engagement. It tracks your transitions, time delays, and consistencies.  This new capability unlocks more training, more drills, and will fine tune your dynamic shooting in a way no one thought possible.

BlackbeardX unlocks 10 new dynamic drills.  Each drill gives you a score (0-100) based on a combination of three factors:  on target delay, over travel, and transition path.

On-target Delay Score

On-target delay score

Most shooters delay on target for longer than they need to. This metric tells you exactly how long you delay – and how much faster you could go with the same level of accuracy.

Over-Travel

Over-travel

Multi-target transitions are often accompanied by moving the gun past or through a target before coming back to take the shot. BlackbeardX quantifies the egregiousness of the over-travel movement.

Transition Path

Transition path

The most efficient path between two targets? A straight line. Deviate from that path, and your score decreases. The more efficient the path, the more effective the shooting.

EAGLEVILLE, PA, November 3, 2022 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, introduced the ultra-compact and low profile TLR-8® sub, a 500-lumen weapon-mounted tactical light with red laser, and the TLR-8® G sub with green laser. Designed for use with railed subcompact weapons, both are available to fit select GLOCK®, SIG SAUER®, Springfield Armory® and many 1913 short railed subcompact handguns.

“The TLR-8 sub and the TLR-8 G sub take the popular TLR-7® sub to new levels with the addition, respectively, of an integrated red and green aiming laser, to improve focusing on targets,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “Like other models in the TLR® line, they have a high-power LED that provides extreme brightness for maximizing visibility and targeting capability in personal defense and other tactical situations. And each features interchangeable rear paddle switches that allow you to customize the TLR-8 sub to your shooting style.”

Each of the new lights is available in four different models to fit the GLOCK® 43X MOS/48 MOS and the GLOCK® 43X Rail/48 Rail; the SIG SAUER® P365® and P365® XL; the Springfield Armory® Hellcat®; and select 1913 short railed subcompact handguns including the Smith & Wesson® M&P® M2.0®, Beretta® Px4 Storm, Springfield Armory® XD-E™, Springfield Armory® XD-S® and Heckler & Koch® HK45.

The TLR-8 sub and TLR-8 G sub feature an LED that delivers 5,000 candela and 500 lumens over a beam distance of 141 meters. The lights’ custom TIR optic produces a concentrated beam that provides both extensive range as well as optimized peripheral coverage. Both lights offer three lighting modes – LED only and LED/Laser combined, each with a run time of 1.5 hours, and Laser only with a run time of 60 hours (red) and 11 hours (green). Both are energized by a single 3-volt CR123A lithium battery.

The new models feature a one-handed, snap on and tighten interface that keeps hands away from the gun muzzle when attaching or detaching them. The lights also include a safe-off feature, locking them so they cannot be turned on accidentally. Each features a specialized clamp system for mounting to rails, using the provided key kit.

Constructed with 6000 Series machined aircraft aluminum with a black anodized finish, both the TLR-8 sub and TLR-8 G sub weigh 2.77 ounces and measure 2.51 inches long and, depending on the model, 1.45 to 1.63 inches high. They feature an IPX4 water-resistant design and impact-resistant construction.

The TLR-8 sub and TLR-8 G sub have MSRPs of $389.55 and $477.00, respectively. They come with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Holosun adds to its Pistol Optic Line with the EPS and EPS Carry

Holosun adds to its Pistol Optic Line with the EPS and EPS Carry

City of Industry, CA (November 3, 2022) – Utilizing range and carry pistols often means having two different optics that need to be trained on extensively. No one can expect to wield a concealed carry pistol the same way as a full-size pistol on the range, let alone utilize the same or similar optic. This can often frustrate shooters who engage in competition and conceal carry. Holosun has sorted out some of these difficulties with the EPS (Enclosed Pistol Sight) and EPS Carry pistol reflex optics.

While the EPS and EPS Carry optics are essentially the same, their dimensions are only marginally different. Coming in a 7075-aluminum black anodized housing at 1.4 oz with a 0.90 x 0.63 window size, the EPS is a full-size pistol reflex sight. The EPS features the lowest deck height, which allows a user to employ standard height iron sights and/or the reflex sight. Even though they are similar, the EPS Carry utilizes the same 7075-aluminum black anodized housing design while weighing 1.23 oz and employing a 0.77 x 0.58 window. The EPS Carry is designed for use with carrying or compact pistols.

Both variations are available with a green (540nm) LED with either a 2MOA or 6MOA dot reticle or Holosun’s Multi-Reticle System: 32MOA Circle w/ 2MOA Dot, 2MOA Dot only, or 32MOA circle only. As with all the reflex sights, the EPS/EPS Carry is parallax-free with unlimited eye relief in an aspheric glass lens. Each contains a CR1620 battery providing up to 50,000 hours of continuous use. There are eight daylight and four night vision-compatible brightness intensity settings. Essential for a carry pistol, both options possess Shake Awake technology with last setting recall paired with Holosun’s Solar Failsafe™.

Both versions are IPX8 certified water and dust-proof. The reticle has a travel range of +/- 30 MOA, and each windage or elevation adjustment is 1.5 MOA per click. All EPS models utilize the Holosun “K” series footprint to make fitment straightforward.

Holosun has maintained its tradition of providing useful and high-quality optics. With the surge in the pistol market for defensive carry and competition, the EPS and EPS Carry comfortably fill both rolls and make cross-training painless. Holosun provides a limited lifetime warranty on the EPS and EPS Carry. Warranty information can be found at: https://holosun.com/index/category/items/id/94.html
