Take Your MILSIM Experience to the Next Level with CAA USA MCKs

CAA USA’s most popular handgun MCK models easily and safely incorporate airsoft / BB RIF’s (realistic imitation firearms) and bring new confidence to your airsoft adventures.

Pompano Beach, Fla. (July 2022)CAA USA, designers, and developers of the world-famous MCK/Micro Conversion Kit, continue to evolve creating new MCK models, adding new features and finishes, and upgrading models to meet the demands of their highly loyal following. The concept of quickly and easily inserting a handgun into a MCK conversion kit and enjoying instant success with better accuracy, has made CAA USA a world leader in handgun conversion kits.

This same platform, the CAA USA MCK, is also compatible with most Springfield Armory, GLOCK, Smith & Wesson and SIG Sauer airsoft/BB handguns. No additional tools are needed to employ an airsoft model to the MCK models that accommodate specific brands.

“The airsoft community, worldwide is growing, and now the United States is leading in this exponential growth of this sport,” LTC. (Ret.) Mikey Hartman, CEO of CAA USA, explained. “Because of the nature of airsoft, as well as ammunition cost, not only are more people engaging in it for target practice or team skirmishes, but we are seeing in increased use of airsoft in training law enforcement and military. Due to the ergonomic design of the MCK, it gives the user increased confidence on the range or field as it increases accuracy levels and allows for quick reset and target acquisition. Our compatible MCK’s are perfect for playing airsoft, as well as serious training.”

Based on a Grandview Research document, the airsoft industry was valued at 1.5 billion globally in 2018, with a projected global revenue forecast of 2.45 billion in 2025. Handguns were the largest component at 41.7% in 2018. The largest population entering this adventure sport are the millennials. Like paintball, where teams attempt to capture a target while annihilating each other with brightly colored gobs of paint, the airsoft sport features more realistic firearms and gear in a more military simulated environment. Teams can play in skirmishes, similar to paintball, or play Speedsoft, which is a tournament like game complete with the fast moving, fast shooting often associated with paintball. AIPSC was formed to provide airsoft competitors a timed/scored event to participate in globally. The MILSIM or military simulation games require participants to engage in re-enactments of actual combat scenarios or develop the same high-level skills required of today’s warfighters.

“The beauty of the MCK is you can train with your airsoft pistol and also use it with the real deal, no special adaptors or tools required,” Hartman added. “We have our customer base to thank for making CAA USA a leader in conversion kits for handguns, and now we look forward to entering the airsoft community. As a way of thanking all of our great customers, we not only listen to them and evolve our products, but we like to give back.”

CAA USA’s new $1000 Cash Giveaway, is the company’s latest way to say thank you. Every month, four informative videos will be released weekly on Thursdays, each one containing a clue. The second Friday of every month a winner will be announced viewers can submit their answers for a chance to win $1,000 in cash. Follow on CAA USA’s YouTube and Instagram pages.

Streamlight Launches Green Laser TLR Rail Mount Versions


STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES GREEN LASER TLR®  RAIL MOUNT VERSIONS

Rail-Mount Tactical Lights Fit Long Guns; Offer Green Laser for Improved Targeting

EAGLEVILLE, PA, July 6, 2022 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, introduced the TLR® RM 1 LASER-G and TLR® RM 2 LASER-G tactical lights for long guns, each featuring a high visibility green aiming laser. Packaged as a system, the new rail-mounted lights feature independently operating push-button and remote pressure switches; the kit provides everything users need to mount to long guns. Also available in light only models, the TLR RM 1 LASER-G and TLR RM 2 LASER-G deliver 500 and 1,000 lumens, respectively.

“In addition to the original TLR RM 1 and 2 which feature a red aiming laser, we now offer new models with an integrated green laser, which appears brighter to the human eye than other colored lasers, to improve focusing on targets,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “Like earlier models, they also have an ergonomic, multi-function tactical tail switch and dedicated toggle switch. And they deliver the same powerful beam, with extensive range and solid peripheral coverage.”

The remote switch is designed to exit the weapon at a 90º angle, providing improved cable routing to preserve rail space. The lights feature three modes: Laser only, LED only and LED/Laser, operated by a side toggle switch. The face cap offers a safe-off mode to prevent unintentional activation.

The new models are designed to quickly and securely attach to any long gun with a MIL Standard 1913 or NATO rail, without having to put your hands in front of the muzzle. The lights offer highly accurate sight repeatability when remounting. Each light includes a key kit to securely affix the light onto a broad array of weapons.

The lights provide the latest in high power LED technology for extreme brightness and include a custom TIR optic with a concentrated beam and optimum peripheral illumination. The TLR RM 1 LASER-G offers 500 lumens, 5,000 candela and a beam distance of 140 meters; the TLR RM 2 LASER-G provides 1,000 lumens, 10,000 candela and a 200-meter beam distance. Each light includes a 510-530 nm green laser. The lights also include an optional strobe feature.

The TLR RM 1 LASER-G uses one (1) 3-volt CR123A lithium battery, measures 3.2 inches in length and weighs 2.97 ounces. The TLR RM 2 LASER-G is powered by two (2) 3-volt CR123A lithium batteries, is 4.6 inches long and weighs 4.95 ounces. Both feature 1.5 hours of continuous run time, 3 hours on strobe and 60 hours in laser-only mode.

IPX4-rated for water-resistant operation, both lights are constructed with durable anodized machined aircraft aluminum with an impact-resistant BOROFLOAT® glass lens.

Available in black, the TLR RM 1 LASER-G and TLR RM 2 LASER-G lighting systems have MSRPs of $519.40 and $540.60, respectively. The TLR RM 1 LASER-G and TLR RM 2 LASER-G light only models have MSRPs of $477.00 and $498.20, respectively. Each comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Virtual-Shot Offers Pistol Fundamentals Course

Screen Shot 2022-04-26 at 2.25.22 PM.png

Virtual-Shot Offers Pistol Basics Training Course

Bardon, Australia (July 2022) — Simulation Training Group updates the Virtual-Shot app with a five-course pistol basics training tutorial. The course is instructed by a former Special Forces Commando who teaches advanced pistol and urban combat skills.

The all-new pistol series joins the basic rifle series, taught by a member of the Virtual-Shot team, who is a former Infantry Sniper and Military Contractor.


Training videos are embedded in the Virtual-Shot app, allowing members to practice the fundamentals of pistol shooting from the comfort of their homes. The training videos help new shooters learn the basics of shooting and help experienced shooters refine their skills prior to firing live rounds.

Visiting a shooting range for the first time can often be intimidating, especially when Mr. Tacticool is at the range. Being able to practice the fundamentals of pistol shooting prior to visiting a gun range can give new shooters the confidence needed to fine-tune their skills.


Daryl Batchelor, CEO and Co-Founder of Simulation Training Group explained,  “There are a lot of great shooters out there, but it always amazes me whenever I go to a range to see so many shooters getting the fundamentals wrong and wondering why their shots are not going where they want. We believe that all shooters should have access to the knowledge and resources to improve their shooting and that is part of what we are trying to achieve with Virtual-Shot – democratizing access to shooting by enabling all shooters to refine their shooting skills, not just those that can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on ammo each week and every weekend at the range and thousands on personal coaching.”

The Virtual-Shot team is also building a Shooting Resource Center, offering videos as free online courses at www.course.virtual-shot.com, where users can get free access to the pistol courses without owning the Virtual-Shot system.

Other updates to the app include:

  • · .22LR ballistic pre-sets
  • · Additional targets
  • · Improved shot detection control
  • · 24hr free trial option so users can test out the app before buying a Virtual-Shot Mount
  • · Multi-language translations

About Virtual-Shot:

Virtual-Shot is designed and built by a team of Australian Army Veterans. The idea for Virtual-Shot began in 2010 while training for deployment to Afghanistan. Training became difficult at times with limited ammunition and access to ranges and existing simulation systems. Returning from Afghanistan and making a career move into software development got the ball rolling for CEO and Co-Founder Daryl. The team soon discovered that creating an accessible shooting simulation system for soldiers was achievable using advanced mobile technology. Since then, Virtual-Shot has become the go-to option for serious shooters wanting to perfect their skills anywhere.

Wilson Combat Celebrates It’s 45th Anniversary

In 1977, champion pistol shooter Bill Wilson started Wilson Combat in the back of the family jewelry store to support his passion for firearms. 45 years later, Wilson Combat is a fully integrated specialty gun and accessory manufacturer that employs hundreds of people in NW Arkansas, and at sister companies across the United States.
Beginning with basic 1911 gunsmithing, parts, and accessories, this little company quickly became the leading one-stop shop for competition and defensive handgunners looking for high-quality pistol smithing and gear at a fair price. After supplying many of the world’s top pistol shooters, Wilson Combat branched out into defensive carry guns and gear, tactical shotguns, and AR rifles and now manufactures almost every gun part needed for production in their state-of-the-art precision manufacturing facility.  New in-house designs like the immensely popular EDC X9 series of handguns and partnerships with industry leaders SIG-SAUER and Beretta have made Wilson Combat firearms more accessible and have boosted the company’s market share.
Over the years, Wilson Combat has been honored to employ some of the finest 1911 pistolsmiths in the country. These master craftsmen like Ron Phillips, Jim “Henry” Wilson, Mike Campbell, and Victor Tibbets have worked for decades refining the 1911 handgun, becoming true masters of the platform and ensuring that Wilson Combat Custom 1911’s remain among the most functionally reliable and cosmetically appealing available at any price.
Tremendous internal growth, as well as acquisitions of other innovative brands like Scattergun Technologies, Chip McCormick Custom, Lehigh Defense, and most recently New Ultralight Arms, has established Wilson Combat as an industry leader in the specialty firearms and accessory market, but our focus will never leave the design that helped bring us to this point-John Browning’s amazing creation-the 1911 Government Model.
“It’s hard to believe that the one man gunsmithing shop I started in a 10’x20′ area in the back of my dad’s jewelry store 45 years ago has grown to a multi-brand enterprise with over 200 employees in 3 states. It’s been quite a ride and it couldn’t have been accomplished without our awesome team members” – Bill Wilson, President CEO
“It’s such an honor to be a part of the family business and to have the opportunity to lead Wilson Combat into the future” – Cameron Ankele, COO

NSSF Hires Clement & Murphy, PLLC

NSSF has retained Paul Clement and Erin Murphy of Clement & Murphy, PLLC, to represent NSSF in its appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in its lawsuit, NSSF et al v. James.

July 6, 2022

NSSF Hires Clement & Murphy, PLLC

NEWTOWN, Conn. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is announcing it has retained Paul Clement and Erin Murphy of Clement & Murphy, PLLC, to represent NSSF in its appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in its lawsuit, NSSF et al v. James. The lawsuit challenges New York State’s unlawful public nuisance statute, which is designed to impose New York-style gun control on the lawful sale of firearms and ammunition products by permitting lawsuits against members of the industry for the criminal misuse of firearms that find their way into New York even when the sale occurred wholly outside the State of New York and in compliance with all applicable federal and the state laws where it took place.

Paul Clement and Erin Murphy recently formed their own law firm after their prior firm, Kirkland & Ellis, abruptly announced it would, “no longer represent clients with respect to matters involving the interpretation of the Second Amendment.” That announcement came just days after Clement and Murphy won the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen in which the court held the Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding Americans to carry a firearm in public for self-protection.

Rather than abandon their clients in the midst of ongoing representations, Clement and Murphy continue to stand by their principles and defend their clients’ fundamental Constitutional rights. They wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “The American legal profession’s willingness to take on and stand by controversial clients has made our system of justice the envy of the world. The profession shouldn’t back down from its willingness to tackle the most divisive issues. We certainly won’t.”

“NSSF is proud to be represented by such accomplished and skilled appellate lawyers who clearly demonstrate the depth of character so badly needed in today’s legal system,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Both Clement and Murphy demonstrated bold and decisive resolve to stand with their clients instead of abandoning them at the behest of their previous firm. They have a sterling professional legal reputation that is solidly matched with their fidelity to their clients. NSSF and our industry co-plaintiffs are in the very capable hands of the nation’s premier appellate law firm of Clement & Murphy, PLLC.”

Clement served as U.S. solicitor general during the President George W. Bush administration from 2004-2008. Murphy is an accomplished appellate lawyer who has argued several cases before the Supreme Court.

RISE Armament and Folds of Honor

RISE Armament and Folds of Honor: A Proud Partnership

There are more than 1 million disabled and fallen service members. Nearly 2 million military heroes’ dependents are negatively impacted by war. The cost to provide educational scholarships to those dependents is a whopping $9 billion, and 85% of the families don’t qualify for federal aid.

That’s where Folds of Honor comes in. They provide educational scholarships to the children and spouses of those who were killed or disabled while serving our great nation.
Our troops and their families have unselfishly sacrificed, so we can sleep safely each night and enjoy our sweet liberties each day. As Americans, we have to give back.
That’s why RISE Armament is partnering with Folds of Honor by designing and manufacturing special products that benefit the Folds of Honor foundation.
“To say we’re proud to help out and donate to Folds of Honor is an understatement,” says Matt Torres, president of RISE Armament. “Veterans’ families are often overlooked, which is really a shame. Our troops and their families have tremendous courage and have made so many sacrifices. It’s our duty as Americans, as patriots, to take care of them and honor what they’ve done for us all.”
Here are a few reasons RISE Armament is especially proud to team up with Folds of Honor:

· The scholarships Folds of Honor gives honor the sacrifices of those who have given so much to protect our freedom.

· Folds of Honor operates efficiently and respectfully, allowing the organization to donate 91% of every dollar raised to its scholarships.

· Folds of Honor is based in Oklahoma, but it has awarded scholarships in all 50 states, as well as Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

· Since 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded over 35,000 educational scholarships.

To further benefit Folds of Honor, RISE Armament developed the Patriot High-Performance Trigger and is donating a portion of each Patriot Trigger’s purchase price to the Folds of Honor foundation. It’s an easy-to-install, accuracy-enhancing rifle upgrade that gives back to veterans and their families. Each trigger purchase helps fund educational scholarships for children and spouses of fallen and disabled service members.

The Patriot Trigger has a crisp, clean release and ultra-short reset for faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy. It has a light, 3.5-pound pull and straight trigger blade.

A limited-edition item, the drop-in trigger group includes a Folds of Honor and RISE Armament commemorative challenge coin, along with free tools and anti-walk pins for fast and easy trigger installation.

BUY HERE

This soft, comfortable shirt is made for true patriots. This shirt features a flag RISE Armament logo on the front and the Folds of Honor logo on the left sleeve. Celebrating the RISE Armament and Folds of Honor partnership, a portion of the purchase price will be donated to Folds of Honor.

The Stinger and Stinger RS – Bond Arms’ Newest Derringers are Lighter, Slimmer and Deliver a Double-Shot of Venom

The Stinger and Stinger RS – Bond Arms’ Newest Derringers are Lighter, Slimmer and Deliver a Double-Shot of Venom

20220519_143856.jpg

Granbury, TX (July 5, 2022) – Bond Arms is well-known for its compact, yet powerful, personal protection pistols. After years of research and development, the Bond Arms team released the Stinger – its lightest, smallest derringer ever. It has the familiar fit, feel, function, and reliability of other Bond double-barrelled pistols in an ultra-concealable and super-comfortable size and weight configuration. The Stinger is currently chambered for either 9mm or .380 auto. It’s made from advanced modern materials and engineered for durability.

The Stinger uses a slim, aluminum frame that is precision milled from a billet of 7075 aluminum, known industry-wide for toughness. A black hard-coat anodized finish further shields the frame in use. A generously sized, integral trigger guard protects the trigger, yet allows easy access. Slim, high-impact, Zytel, composite grips pair with the wasp-waisted pistol’s narrow profile, making it perfect for concealability. The Stinger also includes standard-sized, rubber grip panels for those who prefer a larger grip.

A stainless steel firing pin block inset into the aluminum frame strengthens the receiver and allows for the firing of +P rounds. The release lever, cross-bolt safety, hammer, and trigger are also stainless steel; adding steel parts in these critical areas enhances the Stinger’s durability. The Stinger’s 3-inch barrels match the frame’s narrow 0.55-inch profile and is available in 9mm and .380 auto, with a .22 long rifle model on the horizon.

At the recent 2022 NRA Meetings & Exhibits, Bond Arms debuted a stainless steel version of the Stinger: the Stinger RS. This slim and sleek rendition of the Stinger comes with all the original functionality, a reliable frame, and a friendly price point. This new edition is available from Bond Arms starting June 20th.

Bond Arms created the Stinger for customers wanting a lightweight, slim pistol chambered for powerful, defense rounds. Like all of Bond’s complete pistol lines, the Stinger is safe, durable, and reliable – perfect for self-defense.

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.

Galco’s Front Pocket Horsehide Holster for SIG-Sauer P365!

Galco Holsters

Galco’s Front Pocket Horsehide Holster for SIG-Sauer P365!

Click to Shop Now

Phoenix, July 2022

Now available for the SIG-Sauer P365!

Galco’s Front Pocket Horsehide Holster offers unique concealed carry advantages. Not only is the handgun completely covered and concealed, but the gun carrier can casually place a hand on the holstered/pocketed pistol if a nonspecific threat materializes – and the fastest draw is to have the gun already in hand.

Galco’s pocket holsters greatly minimize shifting of the handgun in the pocket, allowing for a fast and sure grip acquisition when drawing. Pocket holsters cover the trigger to prevent entanglement with foreign objects and add a safety barrier between fingers and trigger when acquiring a firing grip. They conceals the shape of the handgun so its outline doesn’t print through the pocket, and allow one-handed release of the handgun from both pocket and holster.

The Front Pocket Horsehide holster’s dual hook shapes – at the base of the handgun’s trigger guard and at the top rear of the slide – are designed to catch on the pocket independently, based on user preference, pocket shape and draw technique.

The Front Pocket Holster is ambidextrous and constructed of premium horsehide.

Beat Nature at its Own Game with Skeeter Hawk

Beat Nature at its Own Game with Skeeter Hawk

SKE_Web_Lifestyle_Product-Family-Backyard_3.jpg

Fort Worth, Texas (July 5, 2022) – There have been a number of “solutions” over the years that have been dreamt up to deal with mosquitoes and other pesky insects–many of those ideas centered on smelly, sometimes dangerous chemicals that had limited results.

There’s nothing worse than spending hard-earned dollars in an attempt to rid pests only to end up with a chemical smell and little to no effect on bothersome critters.

This begs the question, what can homeowners do to defeat these annoying, biting bugs in the battle for the backyard?

Skeeter Hawk has the answer – beat nature at its own game.

Skeeter Hawk products employ a blend of natural essential oils to repel insects effectively. They are the only wearable repellent wristbands and carabiners utilizing all-essential oils that aren’t dominated by citronella. Their ingredients – geraniol, lemongrass oil, and citronella oil – have proven to be more effective than citronella alone at repelling mosquitoes, and won’t leave the wearer reeking of chemicals.

Skeeter Hawk provides a versatile line of 360ª UV light bug zappers for the patio that attracts mosquitoes, moths and thousands of other flying pests. Once attracted, insects are zapped by the electrical grid, eliminating any swatting and smacking. Skeeter Hawk also has a rechargeable electric fly swatter to deal with those up-close pests.

Skeeter Hawks’ patented LED-based, dual-band UV technology is highly attractive to the vast majority of flying insects, including mosquitoes. Their vertical grid design makes their units cleaner and more efficient than others on the market.

How about the backyard? Skeeter Hawk will protect barbecues and children’s play areas with the Mosquito Bait Stations. The pests are drawn towards the baits by utilizing UV light technology, and the all-natural solution they feed on kills insects before they can breed again. 

Skeeter Hawk also provides a variety of UV light-based, whisper-quiet traps that attract and kill a variety of insects in your backyard, around pools and patios. They can also be used indoors to deal with insects that are infesting smaller spaces.

Lastly, unlike some chemical based pest control solutions out there, Skeeter Hawk’s options are affordable and reusable, with easy-to-use refills available for less than the cost of many competing products.

Find the system of Skeeter Hawk products that will work for you and your family by visiting https://skh.acgbrands.com/en_US/find-your-system/.


About Skeeter Hawk:

Skeeter Hawk is a full line of mosquito flying insect defense products that combine safe, all-natural ingredients with powerful elimination technology to provide effective protection free from harmful chemicals and foul odors. Skeeter Hawk is the only leader in insect defense brands that uses patent-pending dual band LED technology for its UV attractant products. Additionally, Skeeter Hawk’s proprietary repellent formula is the only wearable repellent made of all-natural essential oils that is not dominated by citronella, a combination which has proven to be more effective than citronella alone. Skeeter Hawk is owned by Alliance Sports Group, L.P., a U.S.-based company. Visit us at https://skh.acgbrands.com/en_US/

Does Height Over the Bore Matter?

Win the entire MDT chassis line-up!

There are two questions in precision shooting that have been debated for years; leading many to retreat in the Himalayan Mountains seeking guidance from the likes of Yogi Grand Master Akshar.

1. Is wind more critical at the shooting position or downrange?

2. Does height over the bore affect accuracy?

The folks at MDT tackle the later, using the world’s tallest scope base, in this excellent video.

World’s Tallest Scope Base – Does Height Over Bore Matter?


DOES HEIGHT OVER BORE MATTER? The distance or “height” of your scope over the bore of your rifle is an important factor in calculating your D.O.P.E. (Data On Previous Engagements aka, how much you need to dial your scope turret for elevation at distance), but, as long as you know the measurement, does it really matter how high or low it is? Traditionally, it was accepted that a shooter would want the scope height over bore as low as possible, this made it easier to calculate your D.O.P.E. for the moderate distances you might see hunting. However, with modern-day tools like Kestrel, or even a simple downloadable phone app to help us non-mathematicians calculate this, we wanted to explore the topic a bit more, and in true MDT fashion, take this test to the extreme. Check out the video above for our result, see you out there!

Primary Arms Optics

PRIMARY ARMS 3x MICROPRISM WINS ‘RED DOT OF THE YEAR’ IN 2022 INDUSTRY CHOICE AWARDS

HOUSTON, TEXAS – Primary Arms Optics’ new SLx® 3x MicroPrism was just awarded ‘Red Dot of the Year’ in the 2022 Industry Choice awards.

The annual Industry Choice Awards bring together dozens of independent evaluators from all corners of the firearms industry, including competition shooters, Law Enforcement, military, gunsmiths, range owners, manufacturers, and other firearms product enthusiasts. Together, they provide an unbiased evaluation for a wide variety of categories, and in this year’s optics evaluation, Primary Arms Optics took the award for ‘Red Dot Optic of the Year’ with their SLx 3x MicroPrism Scope.

The 3x MicroPrism is part of Primary Arms Optics’ SLx line, which built their reputation for innovation, reliability, and value. All SLx optics undergo rigorous field-testing during development to best serve the user in any environment. Weighing just under 8oz, the SLx 3x MicroPrism is one of the shortest, lightest magnified optics on the market, comparable in size to many of the industry’s leading microdots.

Because this optic features an etched reticle, it’s fully compatible with astigmatism, and the NV-compatible illumination ensures full function in any ambient lighting. The ACSS® Raptor 5.56/.308 – Yard reticle also gives the user the ability to range and engage targets out to 600 yards with ease. Compared to the average red dot, the 3x MicroPrism offers enhance precision and accessibility to almost any user.

“The SLx 3x MicroPrism blends the best features of magnified optics and reflex sights, improving your effective range without adding much to the weight or profile of your rifle,” says Stephen Morgan, Primary Arms Optics’ Director of Product Marketing. “We’re thrilled to be part of this year’s Industry Choice Awards and thank them for recognizing the 3x MicroPrism as the 2022 Red Dot of the Year.”

This is the second year in a row for Primary Arms to take the coveted title of Red Dot of the Year. Last year, the Primary Arms SLx MD-25 ACSS® Red Dot Sight claimed the top spot with its unique 25mm aperture and bevy of premium features.

MYCRO Headlamp from NEBO Provides Handsfree Illumination

Fort Worth, TX (June 30, 2022) – Imagine it – crawling under a house on hands and knees to check the heating unit and ductwork before a big winter storm roars in. Cobwebs obscure the view in the dusty and dark crawlspace. The old-fashioned flashlight only lights up the area a few feet ahead.

Once beneath the middle of the house, the worst thing happens – the flashlight drops, rolls into a crevice, and there is nothing but darkness, dirt and a perilous seemingly situation.

It’s dark. It’s cold. And there may be a spider crawling up your pants leg.

U.S. LawShield® Welcomes Permitless Carry in Indiana

U.S. LAWSHIELD® WELCOMES PERMITLESS CARRY IN INDIANA

U.S. LawShield Indiana Permitless Carry GuideLegal Defense for Self Defense®

Houston, Texas – June 30, 2022 – U.S. LawShield®, industry leader in self-defense law and America’s foremost provider of educational resources on safe firearm ownership welcomes Indiana as the 24th state to enact permitless carry, otherwise known as constitutional carry. Effective July 1, 2022, Indiana House Bill 1296, “Indiana Permitless Carry,” repeals the law that requires a person to obtain a license to carry a handgun in the state.

According to U.S. LawShield CEO P.J. Hermosa, “Folks tend to think the new permitless carry legislation in Indiana is simple, but if they don’t understand its complexities, their actions could lead to trouble. We educate people on what is required to be legally armed and how to keep themselves and their families safe. Just because a license isn’t required doesn’t mean there aren’t restrictions, and it’s important to consider that ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking it.”

Hermosa continued, “The experienced U.S. LawShield Independent Program Attorneys who wrote the book on Indiana gun laws spell out exactly what you need to know to stay on the right side of the law in the Indiana Permitless Carry Guide. And, we encourage responsible gun owners to educate themselves on what the legislation means for them as residents of Indiana.”

U.S. LawShield Indiana Permitless Carry Guide

As the authoritative source of all things permitless carry, the U.S. LawShield Indiana Permitless Carry Guide answers questions including:

· What is permitless carry in Indiana?

· Why is a license to carry a handgun still important?

· Can you have a gun in your car without a concealed carry license in Indiana?

· Who can and can’t carry under Indiana permitless carry?

· What weapons are covered by Indiana permitless carry?

Successful 27th edition of EUROSATORY

Paris, 30 June 2022

Successful 27th edition of EUROSATORY
after a 4-year absence!

After a four-year absence due to the health crisis, the 2022 edition of the international land and airland defense and security exhibition was eagerly awaited by the entire international community of the sector.

In the particular context of conflicts at the gates of Europe, this edition is one of the most significant in the history of the exhibition:

1,743 companies and more than 100,000 professionals gathered in Paris from 13 to 17 June for this must-attend event, which brought together all the players in the global defense and security market.
250 delegations from 96 countries, high-level executives and decision-makers from the public and private sectors, and project leaders came to the event over the 5 days.
The success of this record-breaking edition lies in the “reunion” and meetings between exhibitors, partners and international visitors eager to discover the latest developments in the global defense and security capabilities. Busy stands, busy exhibitors and crowded aisles were the hallmarks of the five-day event.
“The exhibition was very qualitative, with stands designed and decorated for the occasion. For this comeback edition, exhibitors put a lot of energy into welcoming visitors and official delegations. Everyone was happy to be at Eurosatory 2022”, said Jérémy Vigna, Sales Director of the exhibition.
For the first time, the exhibition was inaugurated by the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron. In the context of the war in Ukraine, the President of the Republic took advantage of the exhibition’s inauguration to recall the central role of the defense and security industry in the preservation of national and European sovereignty.
Visitors discovered the first French demonstrator of capabilities to respond to all types of humanitarian, industrial and/or environmental crises.
75 companies exhibited in the « HELPED – Humanitary Emergency Logistic Project and Eco Development » area, to present the whole spectrum of global capacities needed to support populations in case of major crisis and to restore the environment.
A global response designed specifically for the exhibition.
Foresight, the new post-crisis world order, experience sharing and the dissemination of professional practices suitable for each profession were at the heart of 110 international conferences held throughout the exhibition. More than 300 speakers from all over the world came to share their vision and reflect on the evolution of Defense and Security.
The Eurosatory Lab, a space dedicated to startups, attracted many visitors. As well as the pitching program, which allowed to discover many innovative startups during the different sessions on current themes: performance, maintenance, robotics, security and safety of territories, artificial intelligence…

In conclusion, this 2022 edition, which stands out as a record year in terms of attendance, was part of the momentum of three major global trends: the return of inter-state conflicts, global warming, and the digital revolution.

Charles Beaudouin, the exhibition’s CEO, concludes, “Held in the context of a new world order, Eurosatory reinforces its position as the world’s most important D&S event, setting trends in the management of all crises, from war to environmental disasters”.

We look forward to seeing you from 17 to 21 June 2024 at the forthcoming Eurosatory.

Key figures:

  • 1,743 exhibitors from 62 countries with 62% of international
  • 39 national pavilions

A Girl & A Gun Founder Announces Retirement

A Girl & A Gun Founder Announces Retirement


AUSTIN TXAGirlandAGun.org – Julianna Crowder hosted the first A Girl & A Gun (AG & AG) Girls Night Out on February 28, 2011. She partnered with Robyn Sandoval, and together they grew AG & AG to be the nation’s premier women’s training organization. Crowder notified AG & AG members that Thursday was her last day with the organization.

“Today June 30, 2022, is a day I knew would come, and can say with a full and peaceful heart that my time as President of A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League has come to a close,” said Crowder. “I will forever be the proud Founder of this organization, an organization that breaks barriers on the daily!”

AG & AG events are successful stepping-stones for thousands of women entering the shooting community by fostering their love of shooting with caring and qualified instructors who coach them. AG & AG breaks barriers for women and girls in self-defense, and in pistol, rifle, and shotgun shooting sports by welcoming beginners to learn the basics of safe and accurate shooting and providing experienced shooters with advanced-level opportunities.

“I will be forever grateful to Julianna for her creative passion that sparked our league,” said Robyn Sandoval, Executive Director. “She changed my life and the lives of so many other women, who sought firearms instruction, but instead found a life of wonder that they never knew was possible.”

Sandoval continued, “I look forward to continuing our shared mission of providing quality firearms training and camaraderie to women throughout the country. I am excited to witness Julianna’s next adventure and am proud that she will always be a part of the A Girl & A Gun sisterhood.”

A CANDID DISCUSSION ABOUT ABORTION AND THE SEX STRIKE MOVEMENT

It’s been a while since I’ve had a shoot the shit and I’d like to tackle some of the overlooked topics stemming from abortion discussions. For starters I want to introduce new readers to what a shoot the shit is all about.

Readers, a shoot the shit is a social event during which any topic can be discussed. The participants don’t have to have any knowledge about the subject, they’re free to make any unsupported comment, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject at any point during the shoot the shit. It’s been proven that the efficacy of a good shoot the shit is superior to paying a jackass who majored in psychology so they could understand themselves $150+ per hour to do what you can do at a shoot the shit. I’ll illustrate that point later in my article.

The hottest argument facing this nation today is abortion. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that abortion is not enshrined in the Constitution saying that it’s a matter for the states to decide and or regulate. Well, as expected, the defecation hit the ventilation with groups marching, rioting and some threatening a sex strike. The abortion debate is both emotional and complex; at one extreme is the idea that abortions should be completely unrestricted at the other is that abortions are murder. I’ll set all of the ideology aside and talk about pregnancy for a bit.

Fertilization Of Human Egg Cell By Spermatozoan, 3D Illustration Stock  Photo, Picture And Royalty Free Image. Image 94032395.

blastula | biology | Britannica

sperm cell binds to female egg cell Blastula

When humans engage in unprotected sex, the male sperm cell binds to the female egg cell, at this point fertilization occurs. Shortly thereafter, within 5 to 7 days after fertilization succeeds blastulation occurs; it is at this point of development that biology classifies the organism as meeting the definition of life: responsiveness to the environment, growth and change, ability to reproduce, have a metabolism and breathe, maintain homeostasis, being made of cells and passing traits onto offspring. Based on the biological definition of life, the human blastula is a living organism. This has given rise to post-coital contraceptives like the following brands: Next Choice One Dose, My Way, Take Action, After Pill, EContra Ez, Aftera, ella, Plan B One-Step. These contraceptives are most effective when used on the third day after unprotected sex, but they’re not intended to replace a systematic contraception regimen.

The abortion argument will go on “ad infinitum” driving protests like the sex strike. The movement proposes to derail the anti-abortion argument by denying sex partners coital relations; however, the economics principle of substitution comes in to play and we’ll see a rise in fellatio, cunnilingus and yes buggery.

By introducing a sex strike, protestors will drive oral sex frequency rates significantly higher.

The 1994 study by Laumann et al. surveyed 3,432 Americans aged 18 to 59. According to a Kinsey summary, the survey found that “90% of men and 86% of women have had sex in the past year,” whereas “27% of men and 19% of women have had oral sex in the past year.”

If statistically significant, one can expect the frequency of oral sex by men and women will dramatically increase. That change alone presents some interesting problems, for example;

“1. Oral sex is linked to throat cancer.

Cancer? Yes, you can get throat cancer from oral sex, says American Cancer Society Chief Medical Officer Otis Brawley, MD.

It’s not oral sex, per se, that causes cancer, but the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can be passed from person to person during sex, including oral sex.

Researchers have found that some cancers of the oropharynx (the middle of the throat) and tonsils are probably caused by a certain type of human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is common, but it doesn’t always cause cancer. If you aren’t exposed to HPV during oral sex, you’re not at risk for cancer…”

There may also be a psychological impact for example;

“2. Oral sex enhances some adult relationships, strains others.

Among adults, oral sex causes stress for some couples and enhances intimacy for others, says sex therapist Louanne Cole Weston, PhD, of Fair Oaks, Calif. She says stress about oral sex often has to do with one partner’s concerns about hygiene.

“One person will not want to receive it because he or she worries about the partner’s reaction,” Weston says.

Some people may also be anxious about their performance — doing it well enough to please a partner — or about responding appropriately to receiving it. “Some people can’t just let go and receive,” Weston says…”

In evaluating whether to substitute coital sex with oral sex , olfactory evaluation of the recipient plays an important role in reaching the decision.

Buggery or Anal Sex

Once considered taboo, is far more prevalent than previously thought; for example, the National Library of Medicine reports;

“Heterosexual anal intercourse (HAI) is not an uncommon behavior with 36% of women and 44% of men 25–44 years old in the United States reporting ever having HAI in their lifetime…”

“…Based on a meta-analysis, acquisition of HIV is 18-times as likely to occur during receptive HAI as during receptive vaginal intercourse among heterosexuals…”

Other risks stem from engaging in HAI and failing to ensure an empty bowel.

As you can see a sex strike does not result in a loss of sexual gratification and in some cases may even be more gratifying without risking an involuntary pregnancy.

Have a great weekend and a safe 4th of July, but remember that if your partner is part of the sex strike movement you have other options.

EOTECH Awarded SBIR Phase II Contract


EOTech logo" Photographic Print by UnPEngineer | Redbubble

Plymouth, MI (June 2022) – EOTECH, inventor and original manufacturer of Holographic technology for use on military, LE, hunting, and consumer firearms, has been awarded a follow up SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) contract for the development of a dual-color holographic head-up display for increased situational awareness and targeting in military aircraft.

This Phase II contract funds further development to produce a system that allows more information to be acquired faster without obscuring the pilot field of view, which leads to efficient decisions and reduced cognitive load on the end-user. Commercially, the developed technology may adapt to existing firearm weapon sights, and could provide customers with new functionality, such as overlaying waypoints or caliber data onto their field of view.

“We are extremely proud to have received this Phase II contract and are excited to continue developing this technology into a solution that enhances the performance of our pilots,” said Dennis Finnegan, President of EOTECH GOV. “EOTECH has been at the forefront of holography, dating back to the 1950’s, and has dedicated its existence to providing tools and technology that improve the performance and increase the safety of our warfighters.”

The SBIR program is intended to support scientific excellence and technological innovation that is moving from the lab to the market. Investing federal research and development funds into startups and small businesses yield positive results. It fosters a strong national economy and stimulates the creation of novel products, services, and solutions in the private sector; strengthens the role of small business in meeting federal research and development needs; increases the commercial application of federally supported research results; and develops and increases the US workforce, especially by fostering and encouraging participation by socially and economically disadvantaged and women-owned small businesses.
