The Dead Center of Precision ™

LaRue Complete 18″ 6.5 Grendel Match Grade Upper

SIZE MATTERS ™

We paused selling our 16″ 5.56 MGU = MATCH GRADE UPPERS on Monday so that we could switch over to our 18″ 6.5 Grendel MGU. It’s a complete, ready-to-shoot-extremely-small-groups 18” 6.5 Grendel MGU @ $799 … first time offered !
It’s widely-recognized that we’re crafting the most accurate production rifles on the planet. But if you’ve got any other type of AR-15, you can buy and drop this new LaRue MGU onto your any-brand AR-15 lower, toss on a magnified scope, use match ammo or your own handloads, and easily shoot under 1-inch groups at 100 yards. I shot one of these about a week ago and posted it on Instagram. If you’re not following me on Instagram, you should be.
$799 gets you everything shown here …

… and the awesome molded case holds a lot more. Just break down your new and improved AR-15, and put it all in the non-descript case as shown below.

We’ve got 100 of these standing by for your order. The sooner you slam us with your order, the quicker you’re shooting ragged holes at 100 yards.
We appreciate your business … past, present, and future.
As always, thanks for giving us all here a reason to pursue accuracy.

Blackhawk® Launches New Custom Holsters and Accessories

New Program Allows Consumers to Build and Order Their Own Custom Holster Online

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – October 7, 2021 – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, has announced a new custom Kydex holster program where customers can build and order their own holster or magazine carrier directly on Blackhawk.com. With limitless options to select from, consumers can now craft a true one-of-a-kind holster with all the features they need to carry confidently while matching their own personal style.

Through the new program, which is exclusive to the Blackhawk website, consumers can choose either IWB (inside-the-waistband) or OWB (outside-the-waistband) Kydex holster models, as well as custom EDC dump trays and magazine carriers for both pistol and rifle. By following the easy-to-use online instructions, consumers can now tailor the form and function of their holster to meet their own exact specifications.

To get started, simply go to the Blackhawk website and choose your handgun manufacturer and model; left-handed, right-handed or ambidextrous carry; as well as red dot compatible options, light-bearing models, belt loop size, threaded barrel compatibility and more. Make your holster unique to you by choosing the finish on the front and back – choose from solid colors, carbon fiber colors (made of Boltaron®), camo patterns and specialty prints.

All of Blackhawk’s custom Kydex holsters are manufactured in the U.S. and are ready to ship within three business days. Each holster is constructed from heavy-mil 0.08″ thick Kydex and utilizes a sleek design for a lifetime of reliable use. An undercut trigger guard keeps the Kydex from interfering with your draw, while an over-cut open face accommodates threaded barrels and clears suppressor height sights.

Blackhawk custom IWB holsters start at $73.95, OWB holsters at $90.95 and EDC dump trays at $59.95. Single pistol magazine carriers start at $35.95, double pistol magazine carriers at $59.95, AR rifle magazine carriers at $59.95 and AK rifle magazine carriers at $59.95. Prices vary depending on materials and configuration. To learn more about Blackhawk custom Kydex holsters or to build your own, visit Blackhawk.com.

Big Horn Armory Expanding to Meet Increasing Customer Demand

Posted on Thursday, 7 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

BHA is hiring more employees, obtaining a new and larger building, increasing the number of machinery, and doubling sourcing suppliers to reduce lead times.

Big Horn Armory Expanding to Meet Increasing Customer Demand

BHA is hiring more employees, obtaining a new and larger building, increasing the number of machinery, and doubling sourcing suppliers to reduce lead times.

Cody, Wyo. (October 2021) – As with most industries, the firearms industry has seen an impact on suppliers and vendors due to COVID-19 restrictions and limitations. In addition, there has been an increase in product demand as American citizens turn out to support their 2A rights with a record-setting number of background checks in 2020 alone. The delays from suppliers and vendors, as well as the increase in demand, have resulted in extended lead times for Big Horn Armory (BHA) firearms. However, Big Horn Armory, makers of big-bore firearms, are implementing several changes that will work to improve product lead times over the next few months. These new changes include hiring more employees, obtaining a new and larger building, increasing the number of machinery, and doubling BHA’s sourcing suppliers.

“We hope to increase our manufacturing capabilities two to three times over the next year,” commented Greg Buchel, Owner of Big Horn Armory. “Much of this will involve new personnel in our assembly and quality control departments. We have a core workforce of excellent people right now and we intend to use these people to train and orient our new personnel to create more of the fine products that we currently produce for our customers.”

BHA will be doubling its workforce in the next few months in the manufacturing department. A new building will increase the manufacturing space by 500 percent and in addition to providing more manufacturing space, will also offer better facilities for building BHA’s firearms and for maintaining inventory. New machinery will include CNC mills and lathes and barrel-making equipment, which will help to lessen the dependency upon outside vendors.

“Our firearms are not purchases made on a whim, but thoughtful investments in heirloom-quality rifles aimed at giving you the biggest bang for your buck. We know our customers want these rifles, and we want to give them to them. We’re working our hardest to get our firearms out the door and into our customers’ hands,” Buchel stated. “We appreciate our customers’ patience as they bear with us as we continue to fulfill our orders and implement these changes to meet our customers’ needs.”

Dealers, email bworthen@bighornarmory.com for pricing and programs.

About Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

RCBS® ChargeMaster™ Supreme Accelerates Accurate Reloading

RCBS® ChargeMaster™ Supreme Accelerates Accurate Reloading

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – October 6, 2021 – RCBS®, the leading manufacturer of ammunition reloading equipment for rifles and pistols, has announced the introduction of the new ChargeMaster™ Supreme powder dispenser. Taking reloading to the next level, the ChargeMaster Supreme combines RCBS precision with automatic adjustments and Bluetooth® compatibility to make reloading easier than ever.

The RCBS ChargeMaster Supreme features a Proprietary Learning Mode which uses a unique feedback loop and algorithms to automatically adjust dispensing speeds and stop points. This two-minute process allows the Supreme to learn the unique characteristics of the powder being dispensed. Once it has been ran, normal sized charges will typically dispense in less than 15 seconds.

“The Chargemaster Supreme is the next evolution in powder dispenser technology,” said Will Hemeyer, Sr. Product Manager for RCBS. “Our patent pending learn process is quick, efficient and easy to use. This function makes sure your powder throws are optimized to the powder you are using, plus the process only takes a few minutes to run and once it does your dispense times are significantly reduced. The Chargemaster Supreme is sure to be the only dispenser most handloaders will need on their bench.”

In addition, the ChargeMaster Supreme is Bluetooth compatible, which allows the user to dispense charges and operate the dispenser hands-free from their phone with the newly redesigned RCBS app. The updated app also offers a virtual reloading bench, a comprehensive load data log, and convenient access to the technical service team to help answer any technical questions a handloader might have.

The ChargeMaster Supreme boasts 0.1-grain accuracy and a 1500-grain load cell capacity. The unit can run on an external battery, meaning reloaders can operate it at home or in the field without being tied to power cords.

The ChargeMaster Supreme has an MSRP of $499.95. For more information or to view other RCBS reloading products, visit RCBS.com.

The Escort DF12 Modern Sporting Shotgun

Posted on Wednesday, 6 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

The Escort DF12 Modern Sporting Shotgun

Bentonville, AR (October 5, 2021) – A bold design loaded with smart features, the Escort DF12 stands out in an ever-growing world of modern shotguns. This auto-loader is a sporting enthusiast’s dream and is ideal for close-range hunting applications. Using the modern sporting rifle design and capitalizing on adaptable features, the DF12 reaches beyond its potential as a mere shotgun. Its 5-piece multi-choke system accommodates heavy slugs as well as it does light bird shot, making it a great all-around option for a wide variety of game.

With an overall weight of 8.9 lbs., this shotgun is manufactured from tough aircraft grade alloy. The upper and lower receivers are overbuilt with a robust construction that is meant to take a beating. The semi-automatic DF12 runs on a gas-powered system, similar to those found in traditional autoloading shotguns, but without the added bulk of a tube below the barrel.

This 12-gauge magazine fed shotgun is chambered in 3″ magnum and will cycle both 3″ and 2 ¾” loads without hesitation. The DF12 comes outfitted with an Escort standard oxidation-proof, chrome plated, drilled steel barrel. To ensure the utmost strength, each barrel is proof tested at the factory. A muzzle cover protects the barrel and locks the forend into place, adding to the robustness and modularity of this shotgun platform.

The DF12 makes field-stripping and cleaning a breeze. The upper and lower receivers are detachable, much like their modern sporting rifle brethren, allowing enthusiasts to feel at home with this shotgun.

Escort helps usher shotguns into the 21 st Century with amenities that make the DF12 a joy to shoot. A reversible bolt-cocking handle enables ambidextrous operation and ease of use for all shooters. Picatinny rails have been meticulously crafted into upper receiver forend, providing real estate for shooting accessories. An elevation adjustable cheek rest allows optimal sight alignment with both open sights and mounted optics.

Ballistic: Four Steps to Fall Hunting Success

Posted on Wednesday, 6 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Gainesville, GA (October 5, 2021) Fall hunting season is here, and now is the time to get your hunting rifle ready. The smart hunter will use Ballistic and our 4-Step Process to ensure their shooting preparation is as efficient as possible.

STEP 1: Chronographing

At the shooting range, begin by chronographing the various hunting rounds to be used later in the season to true the rifle and calculate accurate muzzle velocity. Then use this data to start building a Ballistic Profile for each hunting round.

STEP 2: Zeroing

Next, the hunter needs to zero each round at 100 yards.

Once the 100-yard zero is established, it’s time to reach out further. If the shooting range has 200- and 300-yard and longer opportunities, practice at these distances. If the range is limited to 100-yard shots, find some wide-open land and set up targets at various distances.

The longer-distance practice will make a hunter familiar with the bullet drop and wind adjustments needed in the field, and Ballistic will provide those holdover and windage points.

STEP 3: Targets

Longer-distance shooting also lets the hunter see how targets look at various distances. Speaking of targets, investing in life-sized paper game targets can be a huge help, too. When these life-sized targets are arranged at various distances, hunters become familiar with how animals will appear at these distances through their optics.

STEP 4: Environmentals

Practice during windy days is also a must! That left-to-right breeze likely won’t make much difference for a 100-yard shot. However, many hunters are amazed to discover just how much bullet drift even a 5 M.P.H. breeze can create at 400-plus yards.

With Ballistic, shooters and hunters can input wind speed and direction in a manner of ways. Angle inputs (e.g., 90° = crosswind left to right) are possible for the wind direction or the O’clock format (e.g., 3:00 will automatically translate to 90°) can be used, too. Headwinds can also be added in, and Ballistic will automatically adjust velocity to account for the headwind calculation.

Working Ballistic into these practice sessions will pay big dividends when hunting. Just as they would in the fields during the season, hunters practicing for the fall should regularly update Ballistic’s environmental inputs, including wind speed and directions.

A little prep with Ballistic can mean a fall full of hunting trophies!

Ballistic is the definitive ballistics trajectory calculator, intended for long-range and precision shooters who want a serious–and a seriously accurate–application. Ballistic will calculate your bullet’s trajectory, windage, velocity, energy, lead, and flight time for any valid range. The app can also compensate for atmospheric conditions such as temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, and altitude–it can even accept density of air or density altitude inputs! The world-renowned JBM Ballistics engine powers all Ballistic computations. Ballistic is used by competition shooters, long-range hunters, and the military to deliver the most precise calculations possible.

With Ballistic, you’ll be able to make the most accurate calculations for every shot, everywhere, even in areas with no cellular coverage.

U.S. LawShield® Praises CCDL on Improving Pistol Permit Delays

Posted on Wednesday, 6 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

U.S. LAWSHIELD® PRAISES CONNECTICUT CITIZENS DEFENSE LEAGUE ON IMPROVING PISTOL PERMIT DELAYS

Federal Lawsuit Success

Houston, Texas – October 5, 2021 – U.S. LawShield®, industry leader and America’s largest provider of Legal Defense for Self Defense® coverage and proud supporter of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL), praises the organization for its role in facilitating a timelier application process for Connecticut citizens to obtain firearm permits in the City of Bridgeport.

“U.S. LawShield stood in firm support of the CCDL when they took the City of Bridgeport to federal court for violating the Second Amendment rights of its citizens,” said P.J. Hermosa, CEO of U.S. LawShield. “When bureaucrats attempt to infringe on people’s right to self-defense, it is time for action. We proudly offer our assistance to organizations like the CCDL when it comes to preserving the constitutional rights of people burdened with barriers such as those happening in Connecticut.”

In August, the CCDL filed a federal civil lawsuit against the City of Bridgeport (and others) for illegally delaying city residents’ applications for municipal firearm permits. That application is only the first step in the lengthy process of obtaining a state-issued pistol permit. Since the legal action occurred, the City of Bridgeport has reformed its practices to allow applicants a much faster process.

According to CCDL President Holly Sullivan, “Imagine the stress of waiting numerous months or even years to apply for your firearm permit. Law-abiding citizens should not have to suffer or forgo their right to bear arms because of unwarranted delays. Rest assured, the CCDL will keep an eye on how long the City of Bridgeport takes to process those applications and will act again if required,” she added.

“The burden and expense of legal action are difficult for individuals to manage on their own, and that is why our partnership with U.S. LawShield is so crucial. Their financial support allows us to work on behalf of our citizens and further protect their Second Amendment rights,” she said.

“The CCDL’s victory in Connecticut is a positive outcome for the residents of Bridgeport,” said Hermosa. “We remain unwavering in our commitment to protect the rights of law-abiding gun owners by supporting organizations like the CCDL,” he stated.

About Connecticut Citizens Defense League

The Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL) is a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots organization devoted to advocating rights affirmed by the Constitution of the United States of America and the State of Connecticut. We are especially dedicated to protecting the unalienable right of all citizens to keep and bear arms, for the defense of both self and state, through public enlightenment and legislative action. We welcome anyone who believes that the defense of our constitutional rights is critical to the longevity of our freedom and to the success of this nation and that the rights to self-defense and to keep and bear arms to actualize that defense are fundamental and undeniable.

Oct. 5, 2021

NDIA announces recipients of its highest annual honors

ARLINGTON, VA – The National Defense Industrial Association’s board chairman, Arnold Punaro, is pleased to announce the 2021 awardees of the Arlington, Virginia-based trade organization’s highest honors.

* Michèle Flournoy will receive the Dwight D. Eisenhower Award, recognizing her outstanding leadership and influence at the highest levels of national security. The award is bestowed on someone who best reflects Eisenhower’s strong commitment to ensuring a robust national security posture.

Flournoy is co-founder and managing partner of WestExec Advisors and co-founder and former CEO of the Center for a New American Security, where she currently serves as the board chair. She was undersecretary of defense for policy from February 2009 to February 2012, and principal adviser to the Secretary of Defense in formulating national security and defense policy, oversight of military plans and operations and in National Security Council deliberations.

“Michèle Flournoy’s storied career is exemplary of the spirit of Dwight Eisenhower,” Punaro said. “Her many and varied roles in defense have all been in the best interest and service of national security. She is most deserving of this award.”

* Eren Ozmen will receive the James Forrestal Industry Leadership Award, recognizing her as an industry leader and champion for a strong and agile defense industrial base. The award is bestowed on an industry executive who best reflects Forrestal’s vision, guidance and staunch support of a strong defense industry.

Ozmen is chairwoman and president of Sierra Nevada Corp., a global aerospace and national security firm which she co-owns with her husband. When purchased in 1994, Sierra Nevada was a small, high-technology startup business with 20 employees. Under Ozmen, it has become a top woman-owned aerospace and defense contractor, a multibillion-dollar global leader in space, aviation, national security and defense.

“Eren Ozmen’s leadership and drive as a visionary in aerospace and defense is a prime example of what is possible with a strong commitment and belief in the mission,” said Michael Bayer, NDIA’s vice chairman of the board. “Her leadership exemplifies the essence of NDIA’s Forrestal award.”

* Adam “AJ” Jarnagin will receive the Kathleen P. Sridhar Small Business Executive of the Year Award, recognizing his steadfast commitment to excellence and advancements of small business in defense. The award is bestowed on a defense industry small-business executive in honor of the late Kathleen Sridhar, known for her leadership, selfless passion for mentoring small-business owners and support for a strong small-business sector within the defense industrial base.

Jarnagin is founding partner and CEO of EXPANSIA, a service-disabled veteran-owned company of strategy architects, engineers and technologists who consult on design, development execution and technology integration for defense organizations.

“NDIA is thrilled to honor AJ Jarnagin, who has demonstrated how vital fast and nimble small businesses are to defense,” said Mary Lockhart, chair of NDIA’s Sridhar Award Selection Committee. “He has shown through EXPANSIA a commitment to national security and proven strategies to support our warfighters.”

The Sridhar award will be presented at the NDIA Fall Board of Directors Luncheon; the Eisenhower and Forrestal awards will be presented at the Eisenhower Award Dinner. Both events will take place Monday, Nov. 15, at The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City, in Arlington.

Rafael unveils BNET NANO Software Defined Radio

Posted on Tuesday, 5 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Rafael unveils BNET NANO Software Defined Radio

The new palm-sized form factor shares the same technological advancements of the BNET family that include scalability, multi-channel reception, spectrum superiority, and more

Tel Aviv, October 4, 2021 – Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. introduces BNET NANO, its newest member of the BENT SDR Family.

BNET NANO brings groundbreaking capabilities to the battlefield, based on Rafael’s game-changing Multi-Channel Reception (MCR) technology, unprecedented network capacity in terms of data rates and number of users, minimal delay, and support for “flat” networks with hundreds of members.

BNET cognitively manages scarce spectrum resources, providing seamless force merge with minimal planning and efficient spectrum usage. The radio works in GPS-denied areas, a growingly typical scenario in today’s battlefield. BNET is able to sense and avoid spectrum interference and operates as a LPI/LPD device in dense environments.

VP, Yoav Wermuth, head of Rafael’s C3I directorate: “The BNET NANO radio is a significant advancement to soldiers and platforms that are very weight and power aware. Rafael’s BNET MCR patent has been integrated into a small form factor allowing the operation of several voice groups, data streams and video, all in a single device. The MCR technology breaks the paradigm of a radio that has single channels, and allows the simultaneous reception of dozens of channels.”

Amihai Dekel, BD Director at Rafael’s C3I directorate, added: “Our solution, encapsulated in a box the size of a soldier’s palm is a breakthrough that can address many tactical programs that have previously run into capacity restrictions. This technology finally enables the capacity and connectivity of hundreds of units, without burdening the soldier with several communication boxes that all require SWaP.”

BNET is a lightweight radio unit enabling point-to-point and point-to-multipoint topology and an Ad Hoc Mesh Network, supporting complete brigade area-of operation connectivity with a unique SDR full IP design.

BNET NANO will be exhibited in upcoming international defense shows, including AUSA Washington DC, SITDEF Peru, Expodefensa in Colombia, FEINDEF in Spain, ADEX Korea and others.

About Rafael:

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. designs, develops, manufactures and supplies a wide range of high-tech defense systems for air, land, sea, and space applications. The company offers its customers a diversified array of innovative solutions at the leading edge of global technology, from underwater systems through naval, ground, and air superiority systems to space systems.

Galco’s Chest Holsters!

Posted on Tuesday, 5 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Galco’s Chest Holsters!

Phoenix, October 2021

Ideal for both handgun hunting and protection while fishing, camping or hiking in bear country, Galco’s chest holsters position the handgun on the torso, keeping the handgun clear of gear carried near the waistline. This also helps keep the handgun dry when wading, and is a great choice for riding, whether on an ATV or horseback.

Carrying a large-frame revolver or auto in the torso position, the Great Alaskan™ is ideal for protection when hunting, fishing, camping or hiking in bear country. Constructed of premium steerhide, the holster component is fully lined with smooth leather. The harness pivots at the holster attachment points for comfort, while its 2” width at the shoulder distributes weight extremely effectively.

Designed to keep a large hunting handgun both comfortable and accessible, Galco’s Kodiak™ and Kodiak Hunter™ Chest Holsters carry the gun diagonally across the torso. Using the same principles as modern backpacks, a padded shoulder strap is used in conjunction with a torso strap that allows for instant adjustments throughout a day spent afield. As the torso strap is tightened, weight is shifted off the shoulder strap, allowing for a full day of comfortable field carry.

The Kodiak carries unscoped revolvers, while the Kodiak Hunter is designed for scoped revolvers and single-shot pistols. The Kodiak Hunter’s holster component is designed for an abbreviated draw stroke through its open top, for much faster target acquisition than a typical scabbard-style holster.

All three chest holsters’ positioning at the front of the body offers a fast and simple draw. An outdoorsman’s holster also needs to retain the handgun in the rough-and-tumble hunting and hiking fields, so Galco’s chest holsters all offer secure retention with a simple safety strap featuring a glove-friendly polymer finger tab. Holster, harness and straps all come ready for easy end-user adjustment.

See all of Galco’s chest holsters!

NightHawk Custom: Double Stack Upgrade

Posted on Tuesday, 5 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Double Stack Upgrade

1911s Parts & Accessories Revolvers

What’s cool about Nighthawk Custom is that no matter what your taste is- we have the model for you. Some people are only classic .45 ACP 1911 people, some like a little modern twist on the 1911, and some must have high capacity on the 1911 platform. Today we are highlighting the Nighthawk Custom Double Stack Upgrade.

Everyone knows the 1911 is the best platform, and when high capacity meets the best design then there is nothing that compares. Our Double Stack Upgrade features a fully machined, aircraft grade aluminum grip that is textured with a non-slip surface. The mainspring housing has received the same non-slip texturing for full 360-degree coverage. An integrated magwell allows for fast and easy reloads while a fully machined hand fit steel frame provides the durability to keep your pistol running just like it did new for generations. Capacity is 17 +1 rounds.

Nighthawk Custom has a couple models that come as a double stack, but otherwise you are able to take any 5” model we offer, besides the Thunder Ranch and Agent 2, and upgrade it to the double stack platform. We would love to help you find one through one of our awesome dealers, or just answer some questions you have.
*This upgrade is available on new builds only and is not available on pre-existing pistols.

Contact your local Nighthawk Custom dealer or call one of our account managers for more information on our Double Stack Upgrade today!

Team Federal Finished Strong at the 2021 USPSA Walther Arms Area 4 Championship

Posted on Tuesday, 5 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Team Federal Finished Strong at the 2021 USPSA Walther Arms Area 4 Championship

ANOKA, Minnesota – October 5, 2021 – Team Federal had an impressive finish at the USPSA 2021 Walther Arms Area 4 Championship, recently held at the United States Shooting Academy in Tulsa, Oklahoma. USPSA Area 4 consists of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas although competitors from around the world are able to compete. There were 305 shooters on hand competing in seven divisions – Open, Carry Optics, Limited, Single Stack, Production, Revolver and PCC.

“In a major match like this, winning or losing can come down to a tenth of a second. Your ammunition has to be accurate and dependable in order to perform well,” said Federal Shooting Sports Promotions Manager Jason Spradling. “I’m proud that these team members rely on Federal Syntech Action Pistol to help them achieve their goals.”

Grant Kunkel finished fifth overall and second in the PCC division. Tim Herron won first place the Single Stack division. Cory Klemashevich finished sixth in the PCC division. All of these shooters use 9mm Syntech Action Pistol (AE9SJAP1).

“I was able to bring home another Area Championship win in Single Stack division with Federal Premium Syntech Action Pistol,” said Tim Herron. “I achieved my personal goal during this match which was to push my performance and finish as the highest overall of the low-capacity divisions of Single Stack and Production. What an outstanding match with a great squad!”

“It was great shooting with my Federal teammates and pushing each other to perform at our best,” said Grant Kunkel. “The transition from Steel Challenge to USPSA has been challenging and I’m proud to have earned a second place finish for PCC. I’m excited to go shoot USPSA Nationals next month.”

“The competition in the PCC division was fierce, and I was proud to be able to earn a sixth place finish in a stacked field,” said Cory Klemashevich. “There is no way to compete at this level if your equipment is not completely squared away. I know that I can trust my Federal Syntech ammunition to perform flawlessly every time.”

Syntech Action Pistol is specifically designed for the action shooting sports and loaded to power factor requirements with heavy, flatter-nosed bullets for more reliable knock-downs on steel targets in competition. Like all Syntech loads, they feature the exclusive Total Synthetic Jacket (TSJ), which prevents metal-on-metal contact between the bullet and barrel, eliminating copper and lead fouling as well as reducing damaging heat and friction. Combined with clean-burning powders and the Catalyst lead-free primer, Syntech Action Pistol provides the softest-shooting and most reliable performance possible for high-volume competitive shooters and is the official ammunition of USPSA.

LEARN MORE

The Strike Industries OPPRESSOR Universal is a blast shield that works with almost any muzzle device on the market that has a maximum outer diameter of 25.00mm (0.98”). This OPPRESSOR U version works just like the rest of the SI OPPRESSOR family and redirects blast and sound while maintaining the recoil reduction of muzzle devices. Designed with a SI proprietary 3-lug quick detach base, the OPPRESSOR Universal is easily installed and removed with a push and a slight turn. Install SI OPPRESSOR Universal 3-lug QD base, the included correct sized crush washer, properly set the timing/alignment of your muzzle device and you are ready to go. Fire your weapon with or without the OPPRESSOR Universal on. The OPPRESSOR family is multi-caliber compatible with .223/5.56, .308/7.62 and 9mm calibers. The OPPRESSOR U is made of a steel core with a 6061-T6 aluminum body and is anodized in SI Black, Red, Blue and FDE. The Universal continues the SI OPPRESSOR line for redirecting the gas pressure produced by aggressive brakes and compensators. Advanced internal geometry actively draws the gasses out and thrusts the gasses forward through ports to accomplish linear braking in order to retain more efficiency. The SI OPPRESSOR Universal can be rapidly installed before indoor shooting, outdoor public firing line or being kind to the classmates next to you while training.

EOTECH® Supports Operation Recovery’s Critical Mission with $50K Donation

Posted on Monday, 4 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Ann Arbor, MI (October 1, 2021) – Afghanistan is in the midst of a crisis. Unknown numbers of Americans and Afghan allies are in desperate need of assistance. Operation Recovery, a group of individuals who served in Afghanistan, vows not to sit idly by while so many lives are in jeopardy. Operation Recovery is a charitable organization who supports the efforts of Task Force Pineapple, a group of U.S. veterans who are working to repatriate American Citizens and Afghan allies by helping fund safe cover, movement, and medical services to injured and displaced people.

All donations, including a major contribution from EOTECH, directly influence operations for the movement of at-risk individuals out of Afghanistan as well as continuing efforts for resettlement and reintegration once back in the United States at the community level. It is expected that Operation Recovery will take on a full spectrum of refugee aid in the coming months and time is of the essence – Operation Recovery’s list of assistance requests has swelled to over 4000 people!

The war in Afghanistan lasted 20 years and has left heroes broken mentally and physically. Some never made it home. Many are still in Afghanistan. EOTECH believes in the time-honored principle of No Man Left Behind. “American patriots and Afghan allies desperately need our help now,” warns Lisa Kemp, EOTECH Director of Marketing. In the true American spirit, EOTECH is donating $50K to Operation Recovery, supporting their grassroots mission of moving people to safety now, as well as the longer-term settlement of our veterans and Afghan allies.

Success stories from Operation Recovery give donors hope and encouragement. Currently, support personnel are caring for over 550 individuals while others are protecting 70+ persons at high risk of reprisal from the Taliban. To date, Operation Recovery has moved over 800 people to safety and there is still a great deal of work left to do amidst many challenges both now and in the future.

Veteran-friendly businesses like EOTECH recognize the urgent need for donations – critical funds that provide transport, food, lodging, medical care, and safety to those within the Task Force Pineapple network. The United States owes its freedom to the sacrifices of its brave military men and women, and now is the time to help veterans, fellow Americans and allies in need. “We hope our contribution to Operation Recovery encourages like-minded businesses and individuals to donate to this time-sensitive operation,” encourages Kemp.

Operation Recovery is incredibly grateful for the support and active involvement from the community. For anyone wishing to contribute, there are many ways to send money. See Operation Recovery’s website (operationrecovery.org) for complete details.

About Operation Recovery

Operation Recovery serves America’s heroes: veterans, first responders, and their families. They provide awareness and support for veterans and first responders through supplies, training, housing, health services and community events, and provide charitable support for distressed Americans located abroad.

Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, EOTECH designs, manufactures, and markets the original Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS) and designs and distributes Vudu® rifle optics, thermal and night vision systems, and laser devices. The world’s tier-one professional’s trust EOTECH’s full line of professional-grade optics to deliver unparalleled speed, accuracy, and reliability. Since 1996, EOTECH Holographic Weapon Sights (HWS) have been designed, developed, and manufactured in the US. In 2016, EOTECH expanded its optics line by introducing the Vudu line of premium magnified optics designed to cater to the most sophisticated of users. Our exacting standards demand continued focus on product quality, not quantity, ensuring that the highest specifications are not only met but exceeded. Every optic manufactured is treated as if it will be the one that will face a life and death situation. When there are zero margins for error, there is only one clear choice – EOTECH.

AKTI & W.R. Case Applaud Introduction of Pennsylvania Knife Legislation

Posted on Monday, 4 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Legislation Removes Barrier to Benefit Local Manufacturers

Rep. Martin Causer

Cody, Wyoming (October 1, 2021) – The American Knife & Tool Institute (AKTI) and W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company, a Pennsylvania-based knife manufacturer, applaud the introduction of HB 1929 by Representative Martin Causer (R-Turtlepoint) that would provide positive changes for knife owners and manufacturers in Pennsylvania by removing dated prohibitions. This legislation will bring Pennsylvania laws in line with 43 other states and remove barriers that put Pennsylvania-based manufactures at a competitive disadvantage.

“Over the last several years, Case has been growing its business with the help of new technology to deliver an ever-expanding menu of new products. So naturally, the idea of adding automatic knives to our portfolio is of interest to us. At the same time, such a change would allow Pennsylvania residents the opportunity to carry an automatic knife, as citizens from many other U.S. States have done for decades. As a corporate supporter of AKTI, Case would like to recognize their hard work in advocating for this issue, along with Representative Causer for carrying this legislation forward,” stated Mark Paup, President and CEO of Case.

Pennsylvania law prohibits the ownership, possession, manufacture, and sale of automatic knives, commonly used tools in agriculture, the trades, and outdoor enthusiasts such as fishermen and hunters. HB 1929 removes these restrictions and will allow knife manufacturers to make the knives and retailers to sell the knives as is common in other states.

“Pennsylvania knife law changes have been a priority for the American Knife & Tool Institute since 2013,” said CJ Buck, AKTI Legislative Chair and CEO of Buck Knives. “We sincerely thank Representative Causer and all the co-sponsors for their efforts to bring relief to both individuals and knife businesses. Similar legislation has had broad bipartisan support in other states across the country and was signed into law by Republican and Democratic Governors. We look forward to working with the Pennsylvania Legislature to make this bill a law.”

“My bill will repeal an archaic provision in our law and bring it in line with nearly every other state in the nation by allowing for the manufacture, sale, use and possession of automatic knives,” Causer said. “This is a commonsense solution that will be good for Pennsylvania knife owners and good for Pennsylvania knife manufacturers like W. R. Case & Sons.”

Knife laws of all the fifty states and D.C. can be reviewed on the AKTI website www.AKTI.org, as well as detailed articles about understanding knife laws and court decisions.

About AKTI

The American Knife & Tool Institute (AKTI) is the effective non-profit advocacy organization for the knife industry and all knife owners. Its mission is to ensure that Americans will always be able to make, buy, sell, own, carry and use knives and edged tools. Formed in 1998, AKTI is dedicated to educating, promoting, and providing relevant and accurate information about knives and edged tools as important tools in daily American life. AKTI is recognized worldwide as the most respected, credible, and accurate source of knife law information and legislative input, encouraging reasonable and responsible knife laws and regulations and consistent enforcement.

Kalispel Tribe/Kalispel Case Line Becomes Latest Sponsor of NSSF’S Project ChildSafe

Posted on Monday, 4 October, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Kalispel Tribe/Kalispel Case Line Becomes Latest Sponsor of NSSF’s Project ChildSafe®

NEWTOWN, Conn. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association of the firearm industry, is pleased to announce that the Kalispel Tribe of Indians and its manufacturing company, Kalispel Case Line (KCL), have become a financial sponsor of NSSF’s Project ChildSafe® program.

“The Kalispel Tribe has always prioritized the safety of children, and this is a commitment we take seriously, “ said Curt Holmes, General Manager of Public and Government Affairs for the Kalispel Tribal Economic Authority. “We know home defense is important, but so is firearm security, and we see that philosophy as a perfect match with the mission and work of NSSF and Project ChildSafe.”

NSSF launched Project ChildSafe in 1999 as a nationwide initiative to promote firearms responsibility, provide safety education to all gun owners and help prevent firearm accidents, thefts and misuse. As suicide prevention, especially among tribal communities, has garnered greater national attention, NSSF and Project ChildSafe have been working with several tribal organizations and tribal law enforcement agencies across the country to emphasize the importance of storing firearms securely.

“Kalispel Tribe and its Kalispel Case Line company, which manufactures cases specifically so firearms can be stored securely in the home when not in use, represent exactly the kind of strategic partnership that we know can help save lives,” says Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO and Chairman of the Project ChildSafe Foundation. “We’re so grateful for their support and really look forward to working with them.”

Project ChildSafe is funded by NSSF member companies and is also supported by the Project ChlidSafe Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity. The centerpieces of the program are its free firearm safety kits, which include a cable-style gun lock and safety brochure. To date, the program has distributed more than 40 million free gun locks through partnerships with more than 15,000 law enforcement agencies. In recent years, demand for the safety kits and program resources has surged, so donations, grants and corporate sponsorships from partners like the Kalispel Tribe and KCL help NSSF meet the demand. More information on Project ChildSafe sponsorship opportunities can be found on the Project ChildSafe website.

About Project ChildSafe

NSSF, the trade association of the firearms industry, launched Project ChildSafe in 1999 (originally as Project HomeSafe). Since 1999, the program has provided more than 40 million free firearm safety kits and gun locks to firearm owners in all 50 states through partnerships with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. That’s in addition to the more than 70 million free locking devices manufacturers have included, and continue to include, with new firearms sold since 1998. While helping to prevent accidents among children is a focus, Project ChildSafe is intended to help adults practice greater firearm safety in the home. More information is available at projectchildsafe.org.
