NSSF Welcomes FFL Protection Act Introduction in U.S. House of Representatives

Posted on Tuesday, 18 May, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

For immediate release | May 17, 2021

NSSF Welcomes FFL Protection Act Introduction in U.S. House of Representatives

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation^® (NSSF^®), the firearm industry trade association, welcomes and fully-supports U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb’s (D-Pa.) introduction of H.R. 3252, the Federal Firearms Licensee Protection Act. The bipartisan bill would strengthen and enhance criminal penalties for thefts of firearms from federally licensed firearm retailers. It sends a strong message to those violent criminals engaging in these illicit activities and helps provide for safer communities, assists law enforcement and protects the livelihoods of firearm retailers.

“The bill sends the clear message that Congress will not tolerate criminals who victimize firearm retailers in order to further prey upon and threaten communities,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “The firearm industry is grateful to Congressman Lamb and the bipartisan cosponsors for reaching across the aisle to provide those firearm retailers who follow the law the protection they deserve. We are further grateful that this legislation properly assigns the blame where it is warranted and tells criminals that Congress and the firearm industry will hold those committing crime responsible for their reprehensible actions.”

The Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Protection Act builds on the efforts NSSF has taken to address robbery and burglary of firearms through the partnership with Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on Operation Secure Store^®. As part of Operation Secure Store, NSSF matches ATF reward offers for information regarding these crimes that leads to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible and recovery of the stolen firearms. Additionally, NSSF helps educate firearm retailers on steps they can take to reduce the chance guns will be stolen from them during a burglary or robbery, and in cooperation with ATF, conducts retailer store security seminars, assists retailers with store security audits of their premises and endorses and promotes the use of security products like smash resistant display cases.

NSSF has been advocating for decades for programs and policies that ensure firearms remain beyond the reach of those who should never possess them, including criminals that are already prohibited individuals. The firearm industry leads the way through the Real Solutions. Safer Communities ^® campaign.

The FFL Protection Act was co-sponsored by Reps. John Rutherford (R-Fla.), Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), Ron Kind (D-Wis.), Greg Steube (R-Fla.), Jared Golden (D-Maine) and Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.).

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.

FN EVOLYS™: THE NEW ULTRALIGHT MACHINE GUN BY FN HERSTAL

Posted on Monday, 17 May, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Belgium-based designer and manufacturer of small caliber weapons, associated weapon systems and ammunition FN Herstal has announced earlier today the entry of a brand-new machine gun with unique features, the FN EVOLYS™. With this new addition to FN Herstal’s product portfolio, the Company definitely intends to write a new chapter in the history of machine guns.

Earlier today, FN Herstal has unveiled to the Defense and Security markets a completely new machine gun – the FN EVOLYS™ – during a global digital product launch event. It is with a great satisfaction and pride that the Company succeeded in combining its universally recognized expertise in the field of machine gun design, development and manufacture; its innovative spirit and current unmet market requirements to bring life to a new machine gun. The FN EVOLYS™ features an incredibly innovative and open architecture together with unique characteristics.

The FN EVOLYS™ is a radically different, ultralight weapon that combines the firing capabilities of a belt-fed machine gun with ergonomics and balance similar to an assault rifle. This is exactly what is needed and expected by users for current and future operations.

The FN EVOLYS™ has been developed in two calibers, 5.56x45mm NATO and 7.62x51mm NATO.

A TRUE, ULTRALIGHT MACHINE GUN…

The FN EVOLYS™, with a weight between 5.5 and 6.2 kilos depending on the caliber, is much lighter than current reference machine guns. This reduced weight enables the user to move across difficult terrain quickly and to engage with a high volume of fire when needed with no difficulty.

Its reduced weight and excellent balance also mean that the weapon can be fired from any position. Transitioning from one firing position to another is made easy by the design of the sling attachment interface.

… FEATURING ASSAULT RIFLE CHARACTERISTICS

The FN EVOLYS™ ultralight machine gun fires like a machine gun, and handles like an assault rifle.

The ambidextrous fire selector has a semi-auto position to engage point targets as with a rifle while the full auto position allows suppressive fire as with a machine gun.

The buttstock is adjustable in length and height. Whatever his size, or the equipment he is wearing, the user can always find a comfortable shooting position.

RELIABLE, EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE AND STABLE WHEN FIRING

The latest-generation materials and technologies used on the FN EVOLYS™, combined with FN Herstal’s longstanding expertise and innovative spirit, ensure that the reduction of weight has not compromised the vital factors of reliability, user safety and long life of parts.

The hydraulic buffer gives a steady rate of fire and reduces recoil.

The FN EVOLYS™ was designed from the start to fire intensively with a sound suppressor and therefore showed no reduction in performance when fitted with a suppressor, no excessive fouling, and no debris projected towards the user, even for left-handers.

INNOVATIVE AND UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE

Another big innovation in the FN EVOLYS™ is the patented lateral feed mechanism, which has allowed the design to include several major improvements requested by users:

The one-piece long top rail enables mounting a combination of various in-line optical sights such as day and night sights together, or magnifiers for instance, without removing the iron sights.
Easy, instinctive and fast access to all controls by left or right-handed shooters for improved handling in the field
All actions can be done with just one hand, including engaging the belt.
Cartridges are automatically repositioned when the feed cover is closed if the belt is not correctly placed on the feed tray. This avoids a failure to feed the first round, which is a great reassurance for the user.
The last link is automatically ejected, clearing the way for a faster and more reliable reload.

Introducing the PROOF Research Tundra Rifle

Posted on Monday, 17 May, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

PROOF Research®’s newest long-range hunting platform, the Tundra rifle, is designed to meet the toughest and most challenging hunting environments and won’t weigh you down getting there.

Columbia Falls, Mont. (May 2021) – PROOF Research®, an innovator in precision rifle technology, announces their latest model rifle to hit the market: the Tundra rifle. Combining the adjustability and performance of a tactical rifle, with the design necessary to meet the demands of high-country hunting, the Tundra rifle is an exceptional long-range, lightweight hunting rifle.

The Tundra bolt-action rifle is the next generation of PROOF Research’s popular hunting rifle, the Terminus. With a starting weight of only 7 lbs. 3 oz., the Tundra, and its carbon fiber stock and a Sendero contour carbon fiber barrel, keep weight to a minimum without sacrificing any of PROOF Research’s “Terminally” accurate sub ½ MOA accuracy.

“The design of a monte carlo stock is timeless and a long running staple for hunting rifles. We took this timeless design to the next level by adding adjustability. At 7lbs., the Tundra is an already incredible hunting platform, before the addition of any optics or muzzle devices,” Kelly Streiff, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for PROOF Research, said. “The last thing a hunter needs to worry about is the weight of their rifle system. There are many lightweight rifles out there, but many come sacrificing accuracy for weight. The Tundra embodies everything that we stand for, which is to develop a lightweight rifle that maintains and delivers extreme long-range accuracy.”

The Tundra’s lightweight, ergonomic carbon fiber stock features an adjustable Monte Carlo-style adjustable cheek piece for a customized fit. The BDL-style magazine ensures perfect cartridge seating every time and a smooth feed. The TriggerTech trigger’s crisp break and very short reset allow the user to make follow-up shots with greater precision and accuracy. Machined to tighter tolerances, the Defiance Ruckus bolt-action has a guaranteed headspace of +/-.001” making it one of the most accurate actions for long-range hunting. Completing the ultimate long-range hunting Tundra rifle is PROOF Research’s own Sendero contour carbon fiber barrel, specifically designed for long-range accuracy and performance, no matter the environmental extremes. The barrel comes threaded 5/8-24 with a thread protector and is ready for the installation of any aftermarket muzzle device.

PROOF Research’s new Tundra long-range hunting rifle is available in a variety of calibers:

6CM
6.5 CM
6.5 PRC
7 Rem Mag
28 Nosler
.308 Win
.300 WM
.300 WSM
.300 PRC
.300 RUM
.338 Lapua

Offered in finish color choices of Black Granite, Green Granite, Brown Granite, Tactical Flat Dark Earth, Black Jungle Camo, Blue Jungle Camo, Green Jungle Camo, Desert Warrior, Grassland Green, Grassland Tan, and Cotton Candy, the Tundra rifle has a starting MSRP of $6,999.00.

Bond Arms’ Bold New PT2A Handgun – Defending the 2nd Amendment in Style

Posted on Friday, 14 May, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Granbury, TX (May 13, 2021) – Bond Arms designed the “Protect the 2nd Amendment” handgun as a testament to what they believe – every citizen has the right to bear arms. The Bill of Rights enshrined this constitutional right in 1791. Today, however, the 2nd Amendment is under attack! Bond Arms joins the fight to protect the 2A with a distinctive model—the PT2A.
The bold and beautiful PT2A handgun packs a double punch, protecting American gun owners in two ways. First, Bond Arms donates a portion of each PT2A’s sale to organizations fighting for gun owners’ second amendment rights. Secondly, like all Bond Arms’ handguns, Americans can trust their lives to the compact, powerful PT2A for personal protection.
The PT2A inherits the premium features found on all Bond Arms, including stainless-steel barrels and frame, cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pins, spring-loaded cam-lock lever and rebounding hammer – essential elements in a modern derringer.
The Protect the 2nd Amendment has a 4.25″ long barrel providing tighter shot patterns, higher velocities and even more manageable recoil than shorter barrels. The PT2A is customizable, accepting all Bond Arms’ standard interchangeable barrels from 2.5 inches to 6 inches long.
Buying a PT2A leaves no doubt as to where you stand on the 2nd Amendment. Engraved on the flats of the octagonal handgun barrels’ right side are the words “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”; on its left side, “In God We Trust” – both statements Bond Arms’ believes and lives by each day. The model’s name, PT2A, is laser etched on the frame’s side and directly below the fixed rear sight. An ornate, extended rosewood grip, laser engraved with the stars and stripes overlaid with “2nd A” and finished in high gloss, adds character to this unique derringer.
Bond Arms chambers the PT2A in .38SPL/.357MAG or .45LC/.410 Bore. Any of these cartridges are solid choices for self-defense, with the .410 bore option capable of shooting the powerful 3-inch .410 shells stoked with either birdshot or buckshot. The gun’s automatic spent casing extractors expedite reloads.
Carry your pistol in style with its included BAD premium leather driving holster. White stitching accents this custom wet-molded holster, while an embossed “2nd A” mark proudly touts the constitutional right to bear arms.

PT2A Features:

Stainless steel barrels, trigger guard and frame
Patented rebounding hammer
Retracting firing pins
Automatic spent casing extractor
Cross-bolt safety
Spring-loaded, cammed locking lever
Compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels
BAD premium leather driving holster
MSRP $887

PT2A Specifications:

Barrel: 4.25-inches
Overall Length: 6.25-inches
Weight: 23.5 Ounces
Barrel and Frame material: Stainless Steel
Grip Size: Extended
Grip Material: Rosewood
Sights: Front blade, fixed rear
Cartridge: 357Mag/.38Spl or .45LC/.410 bore
Finish: Polished

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.

FAA Awards $898.9 Million in Airport Improvement Grants

Posted on Friday, 14 May, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

FAA Awards $898.9 Million in Airport Improvement Grants

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced the award of more than $898.9 million in infrastructure and safety projects through the FY2021 Airport Improvement Program (AIP). This total includes $113.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding to award all grants at a 100-percent federal share.

“Investing in our nation’s infrastructure is how our country helped spark an aviation industry that now supports millions of jobs,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. “These Airport Improvement Program grants will help modernize America’s airports and ensure that our air transportation system remains the safest and most efficient in the world.”

Grant projects funded through the Airport Improvement Program promote safety, efficiency, environmental stewardship, infrastructure, and security at the nation’s airports. Today’s announcement includes 488 grants to 447 airports in 49 states and American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands and Puerto Rico. Today also marks the 75th anniversary of the legislation that established federal investment in our Nation’s airport infrastructure.

“These grants represent the legacy and vital role of airport infrastructure grant programs in helping the air transportation system operate safely,” said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson. “Investing in our nation’s infrastructure through AIP grants is a cornerstone of our commitment to safety.”

Examples of airports receiving grants for projects in this round include:

Glendale Municipal, Glendale, Arizona, $1.4 million – To rehabilitate 3,500 feet of the existing southern portion of Taxiway A pavement to extend its useful life and enhance safety by minimizing foreign object debris.

Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California, more than $18.9 million – To resurface and seal the pavement for the airport’s primary Runway 16R/34L. This project will extend the useful life of the runway pavement. Van Nuys airport is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the United States in terms of aircraft operations. Work is scheduled to begin in February 2022 and be completed in November 2022.

Bradley International, Windsor Locks, Connecticut, almost $11.3 million – For reconstructing the Taxiway S and to bring the connector taxiways to current federal design standards.

Denver International, Denver Colorado, nearly $26.7 million – To rehabilitate the pavement and lighting systems on Runway 16L/34R to enhance safe airfield operations during low-visibility conditions and to rehabilitate a taxiway.

Valdosta Regional, Valdosta, Georgia, nearly $5.7 million – To rehabilitate 8,000 feet of Runway 17/35 maintaining the structural integrity of the pavement and minimize foreign object debris. Additionally, this project enhances safety by removing vegetation obstructions from the Runway 35 approach and departure paths.

Scott AFB/MidAmerica, Belleville, Illinois, more than $12.6 million – For expanding the terminal building to accommodate existing passenger demand and meet security and American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The airport has seen an increase in enplanements from 20,000 in 2015 to more than 150,000 in 2018. The security checkpoint is being relocated to the first floor of the terminal and expanded by an additional lane to meet Transportation Security Administration design requirements.

Frederick Municipal, Frederick, Maryland, more than $4.8 million – For extending Runway 05/23 to meet the operational needs of the airport. Additionally, this project relocates the parallel taxiway to meet federal design standards for separation between runways and taxiways.

President Harry Truman established the first program to provide federal investment for airport infrastructure and development of the nation’s civil airports when he signed the Federal Airport Act of 1946. The first grant was awarded to Twin Falls, Idaho, to help construct an airport. Since 1946, the FAA has issued more than 89,000 grants totaling $96 billion.

The Airport Improvement Program receives approximately $3.2 billion in congressional funding each year. The FAA will award more than 1,500 grants this year. A complete listing of grants (PDF) and an interactive map of airport recipients is maintained on the FAA website.

GRAND JUNCTION, CO (AGirlandAGun.org) – A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League (AG & AG), the firearm industry’s first large-scale chapter-based women’s organization, recently hosted its 9th Annual National Conference Presented by GLOCK. The sold-out event took place at Cameo Shooting and Education Complex near Palisade, CO, from April 27 through May 2, 2021. More than 600 AG & AG members, sponsors, staff, and friends were in attendance.

“Last year we hosted a very successful virtual Conference, but we were unable to meet face to face, give hugs, and cheer for success,” says Julianna Crowder, AG & AG’s Founder. “This year, with RISE 2021, we welcomed diverse and enthusiastic women, aged 12 to 77, who each have unique goals for self defense and recreational shooting sports. It is an honor that we get to share in their journeys and guide them along the way.”

Participants included approximately 450 members representing 96 AG & AG chapters from 35 different states. The women were able to choose from among 250 training classes run by 54 of the nation’s top firearms educators. Training classes ran over 3 days, with an additional 2 days of lectures and leadership development. The event also included a Vendor Day with 49 brands, including GLOCK, CZ-USA, Walther, USCCA, XS Sights, Primary Arms, Stag Arms, Heckler & Koch, U.S. Law Shield, and others, showcasing the latest product lines to AG & AG members and their guests.

“The firearms industry is not only providing superior products for women, but also providing opportunities for training and helping our members grow in skill and confidence,” says Robyn Sandoval, AG & AG’s Executive Director. GLOCK’s National Director of Training Willie Parent, CZ-USA Field Sports’ Brand Manager Dave Miller, and Walther’s Tatiana Whitlock, Jim Dexter, and Gabby Franco were among the all-star instructors at Conference.

U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert was also on site to welcome the attendees to her home state of Colorado. This was the first AG & AG National Conference to be hosted outside of Texas.

Cameo Shooting and Education Complex was the ideal location for the event. With 20 live-fire bays, numerous field classrooms, a beautiful sporting clays course, and a 2,003-yard rifle range, AG & AG was able to provide training classes on a wide variety of shooting and self-defense topics. Cameo also allowed AG & AG to bring Heligunner, so attendees enjoyed aerial gunnery with views of the gorgeous Grand Mesa. The Cameo staff and volunteers were invaluable to the success of the event, as were local businesses and the Grand Junction Sports Commission. With facility developments planned in the next several months, AG & AG will be able to increase attendance for CELEBRATE 2022.

Registration for CELEBRATE 2022 opens September 1, 2021. Learn more at AGirlandAGun.org/conference/.

HIRSUTISM – what the hell is this?

Posted on Friday, 14 May, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

States Hardest Hit By Gasoline Lines to Feel Relief By Weekend

We’ve made it through another week, but I’m not going to ask if you’ve had a nice week so as to not provoke a desire to book a session with a therapist; however, I will tell you in a less than delicate manner that it’s been huge cluster fuck.

When it’s not COVID and the facemask extravaganza, we find ourselves in a “a la 70s” gasoline shortage because some moron clicked on a link or visited a website with his’ or hers’s work PC and picked up malware. These perpetrators do not attack routers, gateways or firewalls, state actors do that; instead, they attack the individual implanting keyboard loggers and other forms of malware which then spread across the enterprise network.

If after my less than tactful introduction you still feel you need to see a psychologist, keep in mind that the majority of therapists are jackasses who majored in psychology so they could understand themselves and could not make it through calculus or organic chemistry, and for sure couldn’t pass the Medical College Admissions Test (a.k.a. MCAT). The $150 per hour that you’re going to spend can best be directed to putting on a great shoot the shit. What’s a shoot the shit?

A shoot the shit is a social interaction during which any topic is open for discussion. Participants don’t need to know anything about the subject, are free to make unsupported comments, use uncensured profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject altogether. So, let’s get this shoot the shit started!

Those of you familiar with the Hippie movement know that it was an era of social revolution. People believed in free love, communing with mother earth and yes, drugs. If you’ve spent time in the Height – Ashbury district of San Francisco you were able to observe or participate in that spirit. You could hear the music of Ravi Shankar, Jimmy Hendrix, Janice Joplin and others playing from apartments, stores and restaurants. The Height-Ashbury is the area near the University of California School of Medicine and is defined by the intersection of Height and Ashbury Streets. It’s a colorful place even today.

At the Height it was not uncommon to see women who favored a more natural look, but as earthy as this look may seem, it does present a significant hygiene challenge; imagine what this photo is not revealing. Is this an expression of a desire to be natural and commune with mother earth or is she afflicted with Hirsutism?

Hirsutism, is excessive female hair growth on unexpected areas of the body, such as on the face, chest, and back. It also manifests itself in a large accumulation of thick stiff hair in the pudendum and emanating from the intergluteal cleft.

Hirsutism can result from an excess of androgens and may occur with certain medical conditions. It may also be inherited. Hirsutism results in excessive amounts of stiff and pigmented hair on body areas where men typically grow hair, including the face, chest, and back. Hirsutism is treatable with medications and hair can also be removed with electrolysis or laser therapy.

Whether by design or affliction it’s quite likely she has never experienced workplace harassment.

I neglected to mention that this female “en naturel” way of life was also prevalent in Europe and a number of Central and South American countries. Unfortunately it was usually associated with poor hygiene resulting in a particularly offensive permeating aroma and violating the olfactory senses .

Moving along…

I feel that social decorum is lacking in our society, so in older shoot the shits I’ve included topics like proper use of silverware, and not inhaling cigar smoke or be exposed as a charlatán and impostor, all of my tips are important in communicating that you are upper crust. So, in this shoot the shit, I will introduce you to the Baccarat card game, one of the oldest and most selective card games in human history.

Baccarat origins are still up for debate; however, the intelligentsia believes this card game was created in Italy, in the 1400s, by a man named Felix Falguiere or Falguierein. He called the game “baccara,” Italian for “zero,” because all the tens and face cards were worth zero. There are a couple of variants, but by far the most influential is Chemin de Fer. The game is very upscale, A number of years ago, I was at a table where two individuals affiliated with the Mexican oil company were making $30,000 bets a hand.

Only three bets can be made in Baccarat: bank, player and/or tie. If you bet on the bank and win, you pay the house a commission of 5%. If you bet on the player and win, you get even money and if you bet on a tie, and the bank and player tie, you’ll see a 9:1 return.

You can bet on the bank and a tie, a tie only or on the player and tie. Betting on the bank has the highest probability of winning, which is why the house charges you a 5% commission. The game of Baccarat has the lowest probability in favor of the house which is why many of the Vegas Baccarat games have all kinds of spins.

Baccarat Casino High Resolution Stock Photography and Images - Alamy

In Baccarat, 10s and face cards are worth zero, so this hand is a 9. In Black Jack you’d have a 19 not in Baccarat.

Baccarat Guide : Visual Hand Examples

Here A = 9 B=5 and C=3 (not 23) “A” is the winning hand. Unlike black jack, a baccarat has no bust.

If either hand, Player or Banker, totals 8 or 9, both hands automatically stand. The hand closest to a value of 9 wins (except on a
Tie).

If the Player’s hand totals 6 or 7, the Player’s hand will stand (take no more cards). When the Player stands, the Banker’s Hand must
take one more card if the Banker’s total is 5 or below, and must stand if the total is 6 or above.

If the Player’s Hand totals 5 or below, a third card is dealt to the Player’s hand. When the Player hits, the Banker’s Hand must abide
by the following set of rules:

Banker Hand	Player’s 3rd Card	Banker Must
0, 1 or 2	Any	Draw a 3rd card
3	0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 or 9	Draw a 3rd card
4	2,3,4,5,6 or 7	Draw a 3rd card
5	4,5,6 or 7	Draw a 3rd card
6	6 or 7	Draw a 3rd card
7	Any	Stand
8	Any	Stand
9	Any	Stand

Baccarat – Pay Outs

Bet on Player: Pays 1-to-1
Bet on Banker: Pays
1-to-1, minus 5% commission
Bet on Tie: Pays 9-to-1

A croupier (dealer) runs the game and in the more formal games played in large oval tables a pallet is used to handle the cards. Unlike Black Jack players aren’t dealt cards. In baccarat, the dealer draws cards for both player and bank

You may hear of a “natural” in Baccarat, this is a two-card total of 8 or 9. The picture above would be called as a natural 9

There are a number of systems used to play Baccarat. Systems are used to help you recognize a streak or capitalize when hands are going back and forth between bank and player.

Player behavior is important in communicating your social status, when you’re betting simply hesitate as you dip your head and look up with your eyes. Make your bank bet by softly saying “banco” while your head is dipped and your eyes looking at the croupier.

Have a great weekend! Schedule your own shoot the shit with your buds or family you’ll be glad you did!

Holosun- How To Zero Your New Optic

Posted on Thursday, 13 May, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

City of Industry, Ca. (May 12, 2021)- One of the best things about some of the optics advancements in recent years has been the ability to incorporate them into all sorts of firearms, including pistols. This proves extremely beneficial for acquiring a target with as little effort as possible and takes the guesswork out of aiming. For a new and inexperienced marksman, this gives immediate results with little effort; that is, if it’s dialed in correctly.

Holosun offers a broad range of reflex sights that will work on properly equipped pistols. The 407, 507, 508 and 509 series come with all sorts of options. Mounting interface, reticle choice and color are the most obvious choices that need to be made. While these optics series are going to be different sizes, they are adjusted in remarkably similar ways.

When first using a reflex optic – let’s use the 508 series, for example – check to see if there are any specific items or tools necessary for adjustments. While the 508 series need a small flathead screwdriver, other brands may require custom tools and measurement systems. This is one significant benefit and testament to the consistency of Holosun products.

The Process:

Here’s a few basics before we begin on the overall process. Every optic will have a north-south knob for adjustment and an east-west knob for adjustment. Depending on where you aim and the location of the impacts, any changes to point-of-impact would be made using these knobs. Holosun includes a small tool that can be used for making these adjustments. Every time the knob is twisted, there will be a small ‘click’ sound. Each click is equivalent to a 1 MOA adjustment which may be unnecessary to know depending on your method for finding zero.

#1: With standard sight co-witness:

With some pistol optic installation, the ability to use the standard sights may still be possible. One method of zeroing a reflex optic is to line the dot from the optic over – or directly on – where the point of aim would normally be on the standard sights. There is some personal preference when it comes to co-witnessing. The next step would be as easy as heading to the range. From there, if the projectile is traveling too far in any direction, move the reticle an appropriate amount using the built-in knobs.

#2: Without co-witness:

A bit more complicated, this method can also be used even when co-witnessing. While you can eyeball it and waste ammunition in the process, a 10-yard zero target makes the process move without a hitch.

Pistol zero targets will most likely have an MOA measurement built-in. They are reliable if a target is set up at the proper distance. With an optic mounted and the target set up at ten yards, fire a group of 5 shots. From the shot group, find the center and estimate the MOA adjustments necessary to reach the bullseye. Using the dials on the side of the optic, adjust accordingly. Remember, Holosun pistol optic adjustment values are 1 MOA per click, so a 3 MOA adjustment would be three clicks.

Final Steps:

Following any adjustments, it’s recommended to do the same target process 3-5 times. After each group, continue making slight adjustments if necessary. This will do several things.

First, it will work out the user’s cobwebs and any flinching that might have happened during the first group shots.

Second, it will allow the settling in of any irregularities with the pistol, such as lack of lubrication or magazine difficulties.

Third, it will also test the consistency of the ammunition itself. Ammunition is one of the largest uncontrollable variables when finding zero and the accuracy of any firearm.

Conclusion:

So, there you have it! Two methods of zeroing your pistol-mounted optic. Promptly, find some inexpensive ammunition and get out to the range. The only thing standing in the way of an accurate pistol is you… and ammunition prices…

Holosun Technologies, Inc., located in City of Industry, California, is committed to

creating innovative optic and laser/IR technologies that benefit a broad range of

shooting, hunting, law enforcement and professional needs. Using the quality

NSSF Supports Ohio Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination (FIND) Act

Posted on Thursday, 13 May, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

May 12, 2021

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation^® (NSSF^®), the firearm industry trade association, wholeheartedly supports Ohio state Representative Scott Wiggam’s introduction of House Bill 297, the Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination (FIND) Act. This crucial legislation would stop corporations from discriminating against the firearm and ammunition industry and diminishing the Second Amendment.

“The legislation protects firearm and ammunition businesses from being canceled by ‘woke’ activists who would unfairly and unlawfully discriminate against an entire industry simply because they disagree with Americans exercising their constitutional rights,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “We have witnessed the highest levels of government abusing their authority to discriminate against the firearm industry when the Obama administration and Department of Justice began Operation Chokepoint to deny services to the firearm industry. That discriminatory practice continues by big corporations and NSSF is grateful for Representative Wiggam’s leadership to end it in Ohio.”

Ohio’s Firearm Industry Non-discrimination (FIND) Act would protect the Second Amendment rights of Ohioans by requiring that government contracts include verification that the company seeking the contract does not have discriminatory policies against the firearm industry and will not discriminate against the firearm industry for the duration of the contract.

Ohio would join Georgia and Wyoming, which enacted their own versions of the FIND Act, to end discrimination against the firearm industry within their borders. This legislation doesn’t force corporations to change policies but enables Ohio to exercise discretion over which corporate entities the state will do business with. Ohio’s legislature has an opportunity to stand with the industry that makes products that are critical for military personnel, law enforcement officers and the Second Amendment rights of Ohioans.

SIG SAUER, Inc. Files P365 Magazine Patent Infringement Case Against Springfield, Inc.

Posted on Wednesday, 12 May, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

NEWINGTON, N.H., (May 11, 2021) – Today, SIG SAUER, Inc., filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Rock Island Division, alleging that Springfield, Inc. (Springfield Armory) infringes two SIG patents relating to SIG’s P365 magazine.

The P365 has seen tremendous commercial success, due to the innovative design of the high-capacity magazine. In its complaint, SIG alleges that Springfield Armory’s making and selling of certain “Hellcat” branded magazines infringes upon two SIG patents. SIG SAUER is seeking injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages for Springfield Armory’s past and ongoing infringement.

Ron Cohen, President and Chief Executive Officer, made the following statement:

“When the SIG SAUER P365 was introduced it took the market by storm as the most innovative high-capacity, micro-compact pistol to be introduced due to its magazine capacity, and quickly became one of the top selling handguns in the market due to this unprecedented innovation. SIG is not a litigious company, but given the extent of infringement by Springfield, SIG has a responsibility to protect both our intellectual property and the significant investment we make to develop our innovative products.

Holosun increases its commitment to the NSSF, furthering the mission to promote, protect and preserve the shooting sports and firearms industry.

Holosun is excited to announce their elevation to Patron Membership with NSSF as of April, 2021.

City of Industry, Ca (May 11, 2021)- Beginning in February of 2014, Holosun opened a membership with NSSF (The Firearms Industry Trade Association). The NSSF is best known for hosting with US’s largest firearms industry event, SHOT Show, which is held in Las Vegas, Nevada, every January. Exhibitors at this event are some of the biggest names in the industry. SHOT Show is used to present new releases and the best innovations in the outdoors and shooting world.

The NSSF membership consists of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide. The purpose of the NSSF is to unify and amplify our strong industry voice and Holosun is proud to support that mission.

Industry and community programs developed by NSSF and supported by Holosun include: Don’t Lie For The Other Guy™ (www.dontlie.org), First Shots® (www.nssf.org/firstshots), GunVote®, Project ChildSafe®/Own It? Respect it. Secure it.® (www.nssf.org/safety), NSSF Congressional Fly-In, NSSF Industry Summit, NSSF Import/Export Conference, NSSF Import/Export Committee, NSSF Rimfire Challenge, NSSF Political Action Committee, Suicide Prevention, and SHOT Show.

“Holosun will continue to focus our resources on providing the best optics in the industry,

but we also see it as our responsibility to give back to consumers through political efforts

and educational programs that grow our customers as shooters and protect their second

amendment rights. We truly believe that the second amendment was written into the constitution because the right to keep and bear arms guarantees all of our other rights.

For Holosun, upgrading to Patron membership at NSSF provides a vehicle to help our customers enjoy the shooting sports responsibly and to pass on that tradition to the next generation,” said Holosun’s Business Development Manager, Louis Craig.

“At Holosun, we are excited to participate at this new membership level with the NSSF. Our goal is to bring the best products and innovations to consumers. Our optics make shooting more fun, intuitive and safe for every participant. Our partnership with the NSSF

will help to grow the industry, which is good for America.”
