SIG SAUER Introduces New Caliber with P365-380

NEWINGTON, N.H., (February 17, 2022) – SIG SAUER is pleased to bring a new caliber to the award winning P365 series of pistols.  The long awaited P365 chambered in 380 is finally here – creating a new, softer shooting experience for an easier handling micro-compact option for everyday carry. 

“The SIG SAUER P365 is the most popular concealed carry pistol on the market today.  We have shipped millions of these pistols and until now it has only been available in one caliber,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc.  “The P365-380 uses the same grip module and fire control unit as the legacy P365 with a lightened slide, a 380 barrel, and a lighter recoil spring making it easier to rack for an overall exceptionally smooth handling experience.  This pistol was designed for everyone but is an ideal option for shooters with smaller hands, as well as those who find the manipulation and recoil management of larger caliber pistols challenging.”

The SIG SAUER P365-380 is a striker fired pistol chambered in 380 with a 10+1 capacity.  This micro-compact pistol features a modular polymer grip module, optic-ready stainless-steel slide with Nitron finish, a curved striker trigger, and dovetail SIGLITE night sights.  The P365-380 is also available with a manual safety and ships with (2) ten-round magazines.

P365-380:

  • Caliber: 380 AUTO
  • Overall length: 5.8 inches
  • Overall height: 4.2 inches
  • Overall width: 1.0 inches (1.1 inches w/manual safety)
  • Barrel length: 3.1 inches
  • Sight Radius: 4.9 inches
  • Weight (w/magazine): 15.7 oz.

The SIG SAUER P365-380 is now shipping and available at retailers.  To learn more about the P365-380 or watch the product video with Phil Strader, Director, Product Management visit sigsauer.com.

SHOT SHOW 2022–Federal Ammunition

Posted on Friday, 18 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

FP_P30HST1S_30SuperCarryHSTJHP_lg

Does the world really need another pistol cartridge? The Federal Ammunition folks think so and in a very gutsy move, launched the 30 Super Carry adding to an expanding Personal Defense line of high-performance ammunition. The new 30 Super Carry cartridge provides the power of the 9mm Luger with comparable felt recoil. The .312-inch diameter projectile carries the same energy as 9mm Luger at the muzzle, with better ballistics than the 380 Auto, and in addition, it can be chambered in smaller easier to conceal handguns once gun manufacturers start to offer guns designed and built specifically for this cartridge. The 30 Super Carry opens the door to a higher capacity smaller frame size than the 9mm but with similar muzzle blast, recoil, and terminal performance, 30 Super Carry offers a decided advantage.

Was Federal Ammunition presumptuous in thinking that firearm manufacturers would retool and introduce a 30 super carry pistol?

I was able to answer that question in a brief conversation with one of the engineers responsible for the 30 super carry project. Concurrent with the development process, Federal Ammunition socialized the concept with firearm manufacturers, and Smith&Wesson jumped onboard introducing 4 models of carry pistols chambered in the 30 Super Carry. Just how many manufacturers will follow suit remains to be seen but Federal’s 30 Super Carry may solve problems that are presently being addressed via magazine extensions or redesigned grips to add capacity.

Elite Tactical XRS3 Riflescope Wins
On Target Magazine’s Editors’ Choice Award

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – February 17, 2022 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, is pleased to announce that its Elite Tactical XRS3 riflescope has been awarded an Editors’ Choice Award by On Target Magazine. The staff at On Target praised the XRS3 for its highly effective G4P reticle, uncompromising optical quality and precise adjustments.

“Every year, we try to pick out the best of the best new products for On Target’s Editors’ Choice Awards, ones that demonstrate incredible technical achievement or value for the money,” said Ben Battles, editor of On Target. “The Elite Tactical XRS3 hits both of those criteria. This scope was designed for extreme long-range shooters with its outstanding optical quality and attention to detail inside and out, but the XRS3 also gives shooters some of the best value possible for this class of optic.”

The XRS3 6-36×56 FFP scope features the most advanced Elite Tactical optical system ever. The XRS3 comes with a high magnification ED Prime objective, as well as fully multi-coated elements, EXO Barrier™ protection and a proprietary G4P reticle with new reticle element coating. The new coating pushes the limits of the ultrawideband coating system by increasing light transmission by nearly 2% over previous designs.

This year, Elite Tactical is releasing an additional reticle, the EQL, for the XRS3. The new EQL is a 0.2 MIL grid developed to be fast and precise no matter the required hold or read. The wave-based hash system with intermediate floating and overlap dots is thinned and “opened up” where possible to reduce perceived complexity and target obstruction. Other features include main stadia integer floating dots, half value overlap dots and integral milling bar sections.

For more information on the XRS3 or to see the full lineup of Elite Tactical optics, check out Bushnell.com.

Blackhawk® To Sponsor Zach Rodman Throughout Tactical Games

Blackhawk® To Sponsor Zach Rodman Throughout Tactical Games

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – February 17, 2022 – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, is pleased to sponsor tactical athlete Zach Rodman during this year’s Tactical Games. Rodman’s first competition of the nine-match season will be at the Tactical Games Meridian, held February 19-20 in Meridian, Mississippi.

Outside of competition, Rodman has been a police officer for 15 years in Kokomo, Indiana. Rodman holds the rank of lieutenant and has been a member of the Kokomo SWAT Team for 12 years and a UC drug task force member for seven years. A family man, Rodman also coaches his son’s baseball team and is involved in the Kokomo community.

“The Tactical Games provide an arena where competitors can test their decision making, training, equipment and mental approach,” Rodman said. “The community surrounding the Tactical Games is second to none. Everyone learns from everyone. It’s not often that you find a sport in which a competitor lends advice to another competitor. I believe these athletes help each other because they understand that elevating those around them is one of the most important things in life. Many competitors are servants in their everyday professions, so it’s really no surprise.”

Throughout the season, Rodman will be running Blackhawk T-Series holsters and new Foundation Series Tac Nylon gear, including plater carrier, belt and pouches. Blackhawk’s T-Series holsters with leg straps are optimally designed to maintain proper holster position and security as competitors navigate unconventional obstacles throughout the Tactical Games. “Our team is outfitted with the same T-Series holster, so it’s important to me to maintain a consistent draw between competition and work,” said Rodman. “The T-Series leg strap adapter lets my leg move naturally but still secures the mid-ride holster to my leg when I run.”

Foundation Series Tac Nylon gear gives competitors some of the lightest weight gear in its class without sacrificing durability or modularity, which is critical to maintaining speed and endurance while wearing heavy plater carriers. “On the carrier, the shoulders straps are flat in the chest area, which helps prevent the sling from snagging and allows for good placement of the stock while shooting,” said Rodman. “It’s a minimalist design that allows you to build it for the task at hand.”

Blackhawk will follow Rodman as he competes throughout the Tactical Games, which culminates November 5-6 at the Tactical Games National Championship at Reveille Peak Ranch in Burnet, Texas.

Attendees at the upcoming Tactical Games Meridian will be able visit the Blackhawk booth to check out T-Series holsters and Foundation Series Tac Nylon gear. Based on podium position, winners in each category will have the opportunity to win a Foundation Series gun belt, IFAK pouch and dump pouch, or a Blackhawk holster.

“I have used everything from Blackhawk – from gloves, to holsters, to bags – for years as a police officer,” Rodman said. “I finally tore the pair of SOLAG hard knuckle gloves I was issued ten years prior. That same dependability has been consistent across the board with Blackhawk gear.”

About Blackhawk

In 1990, a Navy SEAL was navigating a minefield when his pack failed. As his gear tumbled to the ground, he vowed that if he got out of there alive he would make gear the right way. Today, this obsession with quality applies to everything we do. We’re constantly researching, refining and perfecting every detail to provide gear that won’t let you down. Because we’re not just making stuff – we’re honoring a vow.

XCEL 500BT DIGITAL ELECTRONIC MUFF W/ VOICE CLARITY & BLUETOOTH

Posted on Friday, 18 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

HOME NEW PRODUCTS ELECTRONIC EARBUDS

XCEL 500BT DIGITAL ELECTRONIC MUFF W/ VOICE CLARITY & BLUETOOTH

XCEL 500BT combines sophisticated sound processing, intuitive menu navigation, and rich electronic control features with an intelligent, forward-thinking approach to design and ergonomics that delivers a hearing protection and enhancement system without precedent in the shooting sports and hunting industries.

The XCEL 500BT’s next-generation Sound-Activated Compression and variable Dynamic Sound Suppression automatically adjusts compression time according to noise level intensity and duration instead of using conventional “fixed-time” compression. The result is improved hearing protection regardless of the sound environment. Additionally, the XCEL 500BT allows the wearer to select between four different listening modes: Universal (for sound amplification), Speech Clarity (for discriminating voices and enhancing verbal communication in a noisy environment), High Frequency (tuned specifically to hear steel target impact at long distances), and Power Boost (amplifies sound across the range of volume).

All these modes are accessible via the soft-touch button control panel located on the headband. Voice prompts for the entire menu allow the user to select the available operational modes. This makes navigation very simple and removes the guesswork as to which mode the unit is in. The XCEL 500BT also comes with programmable auto shut-off, so forgetting to turn the muffs off and accidentally running down batteries is a thing of the past.

Bluetooth compatibility is another valuable feature. By pairing the XCEL 500BT to a mobile device, calls and notifications connect through the muffs. Messages and conversations can be heard clearly even in noisy environments.

U.S. LawShield® Sponsors Arizona’s 9th Annual 2A Rally

Posted on Friday, 18 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

U.S. LAWSHIELD® SPONSORS ARIZONA’S 9TH ANNUAL CELEBRATE & PROTECT THE SECOND AMENDMENT RALLY

With Featured Speaker Stephen Willeford


Houston, Texas – February 17, 2022 – U.S. LawShield®, industry leader and America’s largest provider of Legal Defense for Self Defense® coverage, is a proud sponsor of Arizona’s 9th Annual Celebrate & Protect the Second Amendment Rally to be held on February 19, 2022, in Phoenix, Arizona. U.S. LawShield member Stephen Willeford, known for his life-saving actions during the Sutherland Springs church shooting, will be part of the RidersUSA motorcycle parade to the Capitol and be featured at the rally as the keynote speaker.

CEO of U.S. LawShield, P.J. Hermosa, states, “The Celebrate and Protect the Second Amendment Rally is a fantastic opportunity for the community to show their commitment to the right to keep and bear arms and hear from fellow patriots. We’re proud to support the event and anticipate folks will learn how vital self-defense coverage is to their Second Amendment rights when they hear from Stephen Willeford about his harrowing experience.”

According to Cheryl Todd, co-emcee of the rally, “We are especially thankful for U.S. LawShield’s backing that helps secure the blessings of our Second Amendment for ourselves and future generations. We invite you to be part of history and join us at this patriotic, family-friendly, pro 2A rally.”

U.S. LawShield Member, Stephen Willeford

About Stephen Willeford

Sunday morning, November 5, 2017, Willeford was alerted by his daughter that a mass shooting was occurring at the neighboring First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. He wasted no time responding. Grabbing his AR-15 and a handful of rounds, Willeford embodied the “good guy with a gun” persona as he rushed to the church. Shots were ringing in the air, and he knew the harsh truth: each shot represented the life of one of his neighbors. Willeford confronted the shooter without hesitation, shouting as he approached the place of worship to draw the shooter outside. His many hours logged at the gun range and his years of experience in gun safety helped prepare his response.

Twenty-six lives were lost that November morning, and 22 were injured in the tragic shooting. Willeford is the first to say that he stepped in and did what anyone would have done, but it was his unique background and personal beliefs that helped him act so courageously in his effort to save his friends, neighbors, and community.

Lipsey’s Renews Support of Walk The Talk America (WTTA)

Posted on Friday, 18 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Lipsey’s® Renews Support of Walk The Talk America (WTTA)

For the second consecutive year, Lipsey’s®, a leading national shooting sports distributor, donates $10K to help WTTA further its mission to bridge the gap between mental health awareness and the firearms industry.


Las Vegas, Nev. (February 2022) – Walk The Talk America (WTTA), a non-profit organization designed to bridge the gap between the firearms industry and owners and the mental health industry, is honored to have received a generous donation of $10K from one of America’s leading firearms distributors, Lipsey’s®, for the second consecutive year.

“Lipsey’s has been a partner with Walk the Talk America from the beginning,” Laurie Aronson, Chairwoman and CEO of Lipsey’s, commented. “Their organization continues to make positive strides toward closing the gap when it comes to addressing mental health and firearms and we are happy to renew our support of this very worthy cause.”

“We are very thankful to have the continued support of Lipsey’s,” Michael Sodini, WTTA founder, added. “With every donation, WTTA can provide more tools and resources like training instruction, online and downloadable information for individuals, companies, and retailers. It is our goal to bring together not only the firearms industry and mental health resources but to make them available to all firearms owners. When large distributors like Lipsey’s step up to the plate like this it helps support our common mission to end gun violence and gun suicide.”

If you work on the AR platform for personal enjoyment, or a livelihood, an essential piece of equipment is a quality armorers block. The armorers block secures the upper and lower receiver so that they’re level and secure as you work on the rifle.  For 2022 XS Sights introduced their Generation 2 for upper and lower receivers. The XS Armorers Block Gen 2 is compatible with DPMS patterned 308, DPMS GII, Armalite Rifle, and standard AR 15/10 pattern rifles, and is made in the USA from 6061 T6 aluminum, it also ships with the locking pins and fitment screw for the AR 15 lower.

XS Sights manufactures sights for just about every handgun made; they also make sights for shotguns, hunting rifles and tactical rifles. Addison modeled a shotgun for me along with a few pistols equipped with XS DXT2 BIG DOT and R3D sights. XS Sights are bright, and they are designed for combat shooting where picking up the front sight quickly is essential. They are ideal for law enforcement applications, and XS Sights also offers a factory installation service.

CZ-USA Introduces Bobwhite G2 Shotguns for Lefties and Smaller Shooters

Posted on Thursday, 17 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

The Bobwhite G2 Southpaw and Bobwhite G2 Intermediate are purpose-built and feature-rich

CZ-USA Introduces Bobwhite G2 Shotguns for Lefties and Smaller Shooters

The Bobwhite G2 Southpaw and Bobwhite G2 Intermediate are purpose-built and feature-rich

Kansas City, KS (February 16, 2022) – CZ-USA is proud to introduce two new affordable side-by-side purpose-built double guns. Both are an extension of the popular Bobwhite G2 shotgun line: the Bobwhite G2 Intermediate, with dimensions that are a little more compact, and the Bobwhite G2 Southpaw, designed for left-handed shotgunners.

Left-handed shooters always face difficulties when shooting guns cast for right-handed people, but there is a new double gun option from CZ-USA that will make things a bit easier for lefty shotgunners.

CZ is proud to expand its lefty-friendly offerings with the Bobwhite G2 Southpaw side-by-side. Nearly identical to the standard Bobwhite G2, the Southpaw’s stock is “cast on,” meaning it’s bent in the opposite direction so that it will properly fit when a shooter brings it to their left shoulder.

All other popular Bobwhite G2 features remain, including its CNC’d receiver, double triggers, English-style straight grip, and interchangeable choke tubes. It features 28-inch barrels and includes five flush chokes from Cylinder to Full in 12 or 20 gauge with an incredible price point of $709.

In 2019, CZ introduced its first “intermediate” model at the request of Pheasants Forever, the CZ Quail over/under. In 2021, CZ added another affordable mid-sized double gun, this time in a side-by-side configuration as part of the Bobwhite G2 line. The shorter barrel length and length of pull of the Bobwhite G2 Intermediate provide a better fit for teens and shooters of smaller stature. The shorter overall dimensions make for handling tight spaces like hunting woodcock in the northwoods much easier.

The Bobwhite G2 Intermediate has a 26-inch barrel, two inches shorter than the standard model, and a length of pull that is right at 14 inches. Otherwise, it includes all the great features found on the standard model. The new Bobwhite G2 Intermediate is available in 20 gauge only with a suggested retail price of $709.

Since 1997, CZ-USA has given American shooters and hunters the best firearms the Czech Republic has to offer. In 2019, we completed yet another milestone by producing CZ firearms here in the United States at CZ-USA’s Kansas City, Kansas, facility. With our ever-increasing production capabilities stateside, CZ-USA will continue to improve, innovate, and add to the CZ-USA line-up of high-quality, affordable handguns, rifles, shotguns, plus custom-quality handguns from Dan Wesson.

NDIA statement on provisions to America COMPETES Act

Posted on Thursday, 17 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Feb. 16, 2022

NDIA statement on provisions to America COMPETES Act

ARLINGTON, VA — The National Defense Industrial Association offers the following statement on the America COMPETES Act of 2022:

NDIA applauds the House of Representatives for including provisions important to the defense industry in the America COMPETES Act. As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) described, the bill is to ensure America can “outcompete any nation.”

Similar to the Senate’s bipartisan-supported U.S. Innovation and Competition Act (USICA) of 2021 bill, passed last June, America COMPETES aims to increase semiconductor manufacturing by including $52 billion to make chips. NDIA is among 21 organizations that signed a letter this week<https://www.ndia.org/-/media/sites/press-releases/documents/2022/multi-assn-letter-on-chips-and-fabs-2162022.pdf>, stating it is essential that Congress act swiftly to provide funding to make this law a reality. “Our global competitors are investing heavily in semiconductor manufacturing and research,” the letter states, and continued U.S. inaction “risks placing our country further behind in the competition for economic growth, supply chain resilience, technology leadership and strengthened national security.” The CHIPS Act passed more than a year ago, but the chip shortage continues. We need action now to fortify semiconductor manufacturing and research.

Of equal importance, the House version also includes an amendment to reauthorize the Small Business Innovation Research program (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer program (STTR), expiring at the end of fiscal year 2022.

Reauthorizing the SBIR/STTR program is critical to small-businesses’ ability to develop emerging technologies for America’s economic future and national security. As USICA and America COMPETES are reconciled in the coming weeks, NDIA implores Congress to include reauthorization of SBIR/STTR in the final bill. We ask Congress to take steps to remedy the severe impact chip supply-chain disruptions have on the U.S. manufacturing base and our national security complex.

The legislation in both bills seeks to foster innovation and our competitive advantage, address critical issues in supply-chain resiliency and develop talent in the United States. NDIA supports a bipartisan, bicameral effort to ensure legislation that protects our competitive edge is rapidly signed into law.

SHOT SHOW 2022–KESTREL BALLISTICS

Posted on Wednesday, 16 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

As is always the case, my visit with Kestrel Ballistics at SHOT 2022 was as enjoyable as seeing Katie and the rest of the Kestrel team. This Pennsylvania Company deserves recognition for the level of innovation they’ve brought to the long-range precision shooting sports, and as a notable, at the height of the COVID 19 pandemic the company used its production and engineering expertise to manufacture PPE in service to the country. From a technology perspective, they have integrated ballistics software with their wind meters to provide the shooter with a firing solution to successfully engage targets well beyond one thousand meters. The importance of accurate environmental data in long range target engagements cannot be overestimated and Kestrel is the industry standard.

kestrel-5700-elite-hud-kit

The company’s 5700 meter and HUD display, combined with the Kestrel Ballistics app is presently in use by armed forces around the world. The meter not only captures environmental data but also stores gun profiles and a very robust ballistic calculator. When paired, via Bluetooth, with the HUD display, it provides the shooter with a visible and continuously updated firing solution. Besides price, one of the key advantages the system has over the Doppler LIDAR technology is that it is passive making detection difficult, if not impossible. Doppler LIDAR can be detected and jammed, and if detected can reveal the shooter’s position. This is a critically important advantage as our military’s focus turns to peer power adversaries.

kestrel-hud-front_12019 SHOT Show

 At this year’s SHOT SHOW, Kestrel Ballistics announced a completely different meter, the KST 1000 shot timer. Shot timers are used in shooting competitions more notably pistol shooting events. The Kestrel shot timer retains the same robustness as the ballistic meters but Kestrel enhanced its acoustic performance so it will detect even a dry fire click, making it a great training tool. It also features a loud and very audible buzzer. Shipping of the KST 1000 should begin in Q1 2022 at an MSRP of just under $300.

Blaser R8 .22 LR Conversion Kit Wins Gray’s Best Award

Posted on Wednesday, 16 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Blaser R8 .22 LR (002)

clip_image002

Blaser R8 .22 LR Conversion Kit Wins Gray’s Best Award

San Antonio, Texas (February 15, 2022) – The Blaser R8 .22 LR Conversion Kit has won a prestigious Gray’s Best award in the shooting category.

Lauded for its speed, accuracy and versatility, the modular straight-pull R8 bolt-action rifle is in a league of its own. Hunters who own this expertly crafted, lightning-fast rifle can buy barrels in different calibers with the corresponding bolt heads and magazine inserts and have multiple rifles in one. With the introduction of the .22 LR Conversion Kit, hunters can now shoot endless practice rounds of .22 rimfire before switching to their preferred hunting caliber and experiencing the same trigger pull with each.

Terry Wieland of Gray’s Sporting Journal had this to say in the magazine’s 2022 Expeditions and Guides Annual:

“There is no higher-quality production rifle for sale today than Blaser’s straight-pull R8. One of its great selling points is that you can buy barrels in different calibers, with appropriate bolt heads and magazine boxes, and have several rifles in one. Now Blaser has gone one step further with a .22 Long Rifle barrel for the R8. Have an R8 in .500 Jeffery for whacking dinosaurs? Now you can turn that thumper into a squirrel rifle for off-season practice. That’s a combination that, to the best of my knowledge, has never been seen before. The R8 is available in an astonishing number of calibers – 47 by my count – and if you multiply those by the various grades of engraving and stock wood, as well as some truly innovative composite stock designs, you have a single rifle that could keep you fascinated for a lifetime.”

The Blaser R8 is a favorite not only of hunters who travel the world in pursuit of game but also of those who hunt close to home and simply prefer the same feel and handling to their rifle, regardless of caliber chosen for a specific species.

“We are thrilled and honored to win a Gray’s Best award and appreciate Gray’s Sporting Journal’s recognition of the innovation behind the Blaser R8 rifle and .22 LR Conversion Kit,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “The R8 continues to grow in popularity, and you will see more exciting R8 introductions in the weeks to come.”

Grand Prairie, TX (February 15, 2022) – Bond Arms is well-known for its compact yet powerful personal protection pistols. Now, 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-barreled 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 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 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 firing +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 are interchangeable with other Stinger barrels. Currently, the Stinger is available in 9mm and .380 auto with a .22 long rifle model on the horizon.

Bond Arms created the Stinger for customers wanting a lightweight, slim pistol chambered for powerful defense rounds. Like all of Bond’s full pistol lines, the Stinger is safe, durable and reliable – perfect for self-defense. The company’s newest derringer is shipping now in limited quantities.

  • · 7075-T6 Aluminum, Type III Hard Anodized frame is both lightweight and tough

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.

The American-Made Independence Holster from We The People Holsters; Premium Leather, Perfect Fit

Posted on Wednesday, 16 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

The Independence Holster pays tribute to America’s Western past in a beautifully crafted premium leather OWB or IWB holster with all the modern fit, functionality and retention today’s handgun enthusiasts expect.

The American-Made Independence Holster from We The People Holsters; Premium Leather, Perfect Fit

The Independence Holster pays tribute to America’s Western past in a beautifully crafted premium leather OWB or IWB holster with all the modern fit, functionality and retention today’s handgun enthusiasts expect.

Las Vegas, NV (February 2022) – Nothing speaks to handgun enthusiasts like the iconic leather holster; a reflection of pride in America’s past and the Old West traditions. Today, most leather holsters on the market are made off shore, but the new Independence leather OWB and IWB holsters from We The People Holsters are proudly made in America using only the finest leather from patriotic American cows.

Unlike the competition, The Independence does not require “working” the pistol in the new holster to “mold” to the shape of the handgun. Designed using a double-layer shell for added rigidity, The Independence allows a custom-tailored fit to your handgun, first time and every time you draw and reholster, without sacrificing retention. The Independence is constructed using four layers of the highest quality, premium, vegetable-tanned American cowhide resulting in superior durability even when worn every day, all day.

The Inside the Waistband (IWB) Independence holster is a low-profile design with one of the smallest footprints possible while maintaining maximum strength and retention. The Independence IWB features tuckable clips that are fully adjustable for ride and cant, offering the user multiple ways to wear The Independence in comfort and confidence with three retention points for maximum security.

The Outside the Waistband (OWB) Independence holster features a “tail fin” that pushes the firearm against your body to reduce printing. The proprietary belt-loop design allows the holster to be easily taken off or on in a hurry. The rear belt-loop is made from reinforced PVC-coated ballistic nylon that easily snaps open for quick deployment. With three retention points for maximum security the Independence OWB holster will feel and wear like a custom-made holster at an affordable price.

The We The People Holsters American Eagle emblem is proudly branded onto The Independence holsters for a classic American Western vibe. The heavy-duty stitching, outlining the holsters, not only adds increased durability, but compliments the rich brown or black hand rubbed and handcrafted leather holsters.

The Independence premium leather American-made OWB or IWB holsters are available in the right- or left-hand models for the GLOCK 17-22-31 (Gen 1-4) for an MSRP of $149.00.

NSSF Announces Study on Assessing the Quality and Availability of Hunting and Shooting Access in the United States

With support from an AFWA grant, new research looks at availability, access, issues and current perceptions

NSSF Study

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Access to hunting land and to shooting ranges are key indicators affecting the future of hunting and sport shooting. A new study, announced by the National Shooting Sports Foundation®, reports on findings regarding current availability of public and private areas accessible for hunting and sport shooting collected from a nationwide survey that included a trend analysis to see how perceptions have changed over the last decade.

With support from a grant awarded by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’ (AFWA) Multistate Conservation Grant program, the report titled “Assessing the Quality and Availability of Hunting and Shooting Access in the United States,” produced by Responsive Management, provides major findings from the surveys reporting on activity locations, factors considered for location selection and factors that affect hunter/shooter enjoyment, access constraints and ratings, information sources for locations and user awareness of programs and resources.

Beyond the survey information reported is a robust recommendations section – 99 of them in all. A recurring message in many of the recommendations is the importance of current information supported by using effective communication, marketing, branding and outreach strategies. These efforts have a clear impact on awareness of, participation in, and satisfaction with access programs/resources, and will increase the success of implemented programs.

Attached to the Assessing the Quality and Availability of Hunting and Shooting Access in the United States report is a Hunting and Shooting Access Inventory Report that includes a national summary total and a one-page report per state. A detailed Excel file reporting all 50 states is also available for download.


About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

SHOT SHOW 2022–FN USA

Posted on Tuesday, 15 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

DSC_3241

If you like guns, FN’s exhibit is a can’t miss on your to do list. The company marks its beginnings to 1889 as Fabrique Nationale d’Armes de Guerre when a group of Belgian arms makers got together to build 150,000 Mausers. Over the years, the company has produced firearms like the legendary Hi-Power 9mm pistol, the FN FAL, as well as the more modern M240- and M249-series of crew-served machine guns. FN, Browning and Winchester are all part of the Herstal Group. Industry wide, if it went bang, there’s a very good chance that FN and its designers had something to do with it.

This year, 2022, is a special year in that FN has reintroduced the iconic Hi-Power but they didn’t just duplicate the same design that made you suicidal at the thought of having to field strip it. They kept all of its unique characteristics with significant improvements to make the 2022 offering far more ergonomic, an improved fire control group, and increased magazine capacity. If you’re familiar with the original, you know all too well about its propensity to not cycle reliably or stovepipe with commercial 9mm ammunition, FN zeroed in on those concerns and has improved both accuracy and reliability of its 2022 release. Prospective buyers, you’ll have three flavors to choose from at an M.S.R.P. of $1300.

Life-saving L3Harris T4™ robot puts big robot capabilities in a small package

Posted on Tuesday, 15 February, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Going into harm’s way so your people don’t have to

From disposing of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to conducting dangerous intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, military personnel put their lives at risk every day to make the world a better place.
Robots play a crucial role in ensuring they stay safe.
While most robots offer mission-critical protection, many do not provide sufficient precision. Without any means of physical feedback to allow the operator to experience what the robot is interacting with, it can prove difficult to perform complex tasks. This can lead to increased task completion time, a greater number of errors, and frustrated operators.

The T4™ robot from L3Harris Technologies leverages intuitive haptic control to provide unparalleled precision and human-like dexterity during complex missions. Put simply, the T4 arm moves how you move, and you feel what it feels. Offering big robot capabilities within a medium-sized footprint, it’s compact, ruggedized, and ready for any challenge.
With the ability to deploy even the most powerful EOD disruptors, the T4 is changing the game for the mid-sized robot market. Thanks to best-in-class reach and strength, it allows operators to perform jobs that up until now have only been possible with larger robots.
