Galco’s Thunderclap Belt Holster now available for 5″ railed 1911s!

October 2025

Now available for 5″ railed 1911s!

Galco’s Masterbilt™ holster series combines our finest-quality premium leathers with the skills of our most experienced craftsmen. The Masterbilt series is the pinnacle of leather holster construction, unrivaled by anything on the market. Masterbilt holsters get their final drying on a last, a solid form around which the holster is dried. They’re ready to go – right from Galco – with little or no break-in required. With detailed hand molding and full-grain leather lining, Masterbilt holsters are not only beautiful, but supremely functional.

Perfectly mated to everyday carry guns or elegant special-occasion pistols, the Thunderclap™ offers a unique set of features and best-quality construction methods. The Thunderclap is the very first holster in Galco’s Masterbilt™ series of best-quality, premier-grade holsters.

The Thunderclap features detailed hand-molding for both secure retention and a beautiful appearance. The smooth leather lining provides increased tactile feedback on the draw while easing wear on more-delicate handgun finishes. The refinement of leather lining is not only practical – it also enhances the overall look and feel of a hand-crafted premium holster.

The Thunderclap’s mild forward cant gives it a fast, wrist-locked draw stroke, while the reinforced opening provides easy, one-handed return to the holster. Relieved at the base of the trigger guard, it allows a full firing grip in the holster. The metal-reinforced tunnel-style belt loop provides excellent rigidity during carry and on the draw, and the trailing belt slot aids with concealment – even with large defensive handguns. A molded sight rail prevents snags on the draw.

Equally at home concealed with an EDC pistol or worn openly with a barbeque gun, the Thunderclap is sure to impress friends – or help defeat enemies!

The Thunderclap fits belts up to 1 1/2” wide and is available in black or tan.

Shell Shock Technologies Sponsored Shooter John Vlieger Finishes 6th Overall at 2025 IPSC World Shoot


Shell Shock Technologies Sponsored Shooter John Vlieger Finishes 6th Overall at 2025 IPSC World Shoot

Vlieger also helps Team USA secure First Place in the Open Division Team Event.

Eubank, KY (October 2025)Shell Shock Technologies, LLC. (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, John Vlieger, is proud to announce that its sponsored shooter, John Vlieger, finished 6th Overall in the Open Division at the 2025 IPSC Handgun World Shoot, held September 11 – 28, 2025, in Matlosana, South Africa. Vlieger competed against 335 competitors from across the globe in the Open Division and also helped Team USA claim First Place in the Open Division Team Event, Overall Category. His team members included Christian Sailer (1st Overall and World Champion), Bryan Jones (3rd Overall), and Aaron Eddins (7th Overall).


“Competing at the 2025 IPSC Handgun World Shoot was an incredible honor. With more than 1,500 shooters from around the globe, finishing 6th overall and helping the U.S. Open Team take first place in the world made it unforgettable,” commented Vlieger. “I’ve relied on Shell Shock Technologies NAS³ cases and the same gear setup for years because, at this level, reliability and consistency matter most. Everything ran flawlessly, giving me the confidence to focus completely on the match and the task at hand. I’m blessed to have had the opportunity to attend this event and bring home these successes.”



Vlieger has fired over 150,000 rounds of ammunition with SST’s NAS3™ cases since first becoming a sponsored shooter in 2017. Vlieger will next be seen competing in the Vortex Optics Race Gun Nationals Presented by Berry’s Bullets, to be held at Southern Utah Practical Shooting in Hurricane, Utah, between Oct. 24 – 26, 2025.

About Shell Shock Technologies NAS3 Cases:

NAS3 cases are 50 percent lighter than brass cases, offer greater lubricity, and will not abrade, clog, foul, wear out, or damage breach and ejector mechanisms. The cases offer greater corrosion resistance, tensile strength (2x stronger), and elasticity than brass. NAS3 cases will not split, chip, crack, or grow (stretch). The pistol cases are fully reloadable (using S3 Reload dies) and can be reloaded many more times than brass cases. NAS3 cases can be picked up with a magnet. The head can be colored for branding purposes and easy load identification.

NAS3 is “Best in Class” for maintaining consistent velocity between rounds. In an independent test performed by H.P. White Laboratory (a major munitions testing facility), rounds fired using NAS3 cases achieved a velocity standard deviation of 0.093 FPS (124-grain FMJ bullet, 4.2 grains Titegroup powder, ten rounds, extreme variation 3fps).

Introducing Akkar USA’s Ranch Hand Pump Shotguns – Rugged and Reliable

North Kansas City, MO (October 2, 2025) – The practical pump-action is perfect for any shooter.

All gauges feature a 28” matte barrel equipped with three extended chokes. Removable chokes allow shooters to tailor shot patterns to suit specific ammunition needs.

The lightweight and durable polymer buttstock and forend are completely waterproof, making them suitable for wet conditions. Its design enhances the shotgun’s overall aesthetic and provides a comfortable grip and solid control.

Safety is paramount. Akkar USA equips the Ranch Hand with a robust and familiar mechanical cross-bolt safety for the trigger guard, ensuring peace of mind when handling the shotgun.

New Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary Rifles

Henry Repeating Arms Expands Spirit of the Corps Rifle Series for Marine Corps’ 250th Anniversary


RICE LAKE, Wis., October 2, 2025 — Henry Repeating Arms, one of America’s leading firearms manufacturers, is building upon the success of its now sold-out and discontinued salute to the United States Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary with two new models: the Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary 2nd Edition .22 S/L/LR and the Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary .45-70 Gov’t.

“The response to the first rifle was remarkable, and we knew we had to continue this milestone collection for those who missed out the first time around,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “These new models pay homage to the branch’s 250 years of being both sword and shield for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, and the millions of men and women who have answered the call to serve amongst its ranks.”

Built on the award-winning and world-renowned Golden Boy platform, this lever-action rimfire rifle features mechanically transferred engravings based on a hand-engraved master plate for maximum clarity with 24K gold-plated highlights against a nickel-plated backdrop. The genuine American walnut buttstock showcases full-color portraits throughout history standing in front of the flag of the United States of America, while the forearm bears the banner: “In the Air, On Land, And Sea.” The MSRP is $1,350.

Introduced in direct response to customer feedback requesting a larger caliber option for the series, this rifle is chambered in the powerful and historic .45-70 Government, a cartridge once used by the United States Marine Corps until 1897. It pairs a nickel-plated, hardened brass receiver with 24K gold highlights and upgraded Semi-Fancy American Walnut furniture. The receiver features inscriptions from the Marines’ Hymn, while the buttstock depicts a crowd of hands triumphantly raising the U.S. flag. The MSRP is $2,360.

Both rifles are made in Wisconsin and backed by Henry Repeating Arms’ Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. They are available now through Henry dealers nationwide. For more information, visit the product page at henryusa.com.

These rifles are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially licensed by the U.S. Department of Defense or any of its branches.

New Study Finds AI Voice Cloning Now Nearly Indistinguishable from Real Speech

New Study Finds AI Voice Cloning Now Nearly Indistinguishable from Real Speech

Sep 30, 2025

(Source: iHLS)

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

A new academic study out of Queen Mary University of London has found that AI-generated voices, particularly those created using voice cloning tools, are now virtually indistinguishable from actual human speech. Published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One, the research suggests that synthetic voice technology has reached a critical point of realism, raising important questions for security, ethics, and digital communications.

The researchers tested how people perceived a range of voice samples: natural human voices, cloned voices based on real individuals, and generic AI-generated voices not linked to a specific person. Participants were asked to assess how realistic the voices sounded, as well as how dominant or trustworthy they appeared, according to TechXplore.

Results showed that cloned voices—produced using only a few minutes of original speech data—were frequently rated as equally realistic as the human voices. Interestingly, both cloned and generic synthetic voices were judged to sound more dominant than their human counterparts, and some were rated as more trustworthy as well.

Despite growing concern around the idea of “hyperrealism” in AI-generated media (where synthetic content is perceived as more authentic than real content), the study did not find that effect in the audio samples. Still, the inability of listeners to consistently tell real and cloned voices apart signals a major development in the field.

One key takeaway from the research is how easily these voice clones can be created. Using off-the-shelf software, researchers were able to generate convincing replicas of individual voices with minimal time, expertise, or cost. This rapid and low-barrier access underscores how far the technology has advanced—and how quickly it is becoming mainstream.

While this progress opens the door for useful applications in accessibility, education, and communication, the study also highlights serious risks. From fraud to impersonation and misinformation, the implications for voice-based security systems and public trust are significant.

The findings reinforce the need for better tools to detect synthetic speech, as well as updated frameworks for managing its use in both public and private sectors.

SUPPLE Launches SUPPLE PETS

SUPPLE Launches SUPPLE PETS®

The world’s first Supple Hip & Joint Care Chews for dogs with premium human-grade chondroitin and glucosamine at clinically effective dosages.

Neenah, Wis. (October 2025) – Supple Pets LLC, the sister company to Supple LLC, the makers of Supple® Drink, with more than 100 million human servings sold, today announced the launch of SUPPLE PETS® Hip & Joint Care Chews, a breakthrough in canine joint support. Built on Supple’s legacy of evidence-based, human joint health supplements, Supple Pets delivers clinically effective dosages of premium, human-grade glucosamine and European pharmaceutical-grade chondroitin – trusted and prescribed by physicians in Europe and used by more than 55 million people over 50 years.

“Pet parents are overwhelmed by cheap joint support supplements that make bold promises but are often filled with low-quality ingredients or token amounts just to make a label claim,” said Peter Apatow, founder of Supple Pets. “With Supple Pets, we set out to change that. These chews use the same uncompromising standards Supple applied to its human supplements for nearly two decades: premium, human-grade ingredients at dosages backed by strong clinical research. Our dogs deserve the same science and care as we do.”

Solving the Ingredient Problem in Pet Supplements

Many pet joint supplements cut corners and use unproven proprietary formulas, unproven ingredients, unproven dosages, and fake and/or low-quality ingredients that fail to deliver real results. Independent testing, international medical experts, and even the United States National Institutes of Health have long confirmed that all glucosamine and chondroitin is not the same.

Lower-purity ingredient forms and unproven dosages are ever-present in the market, but most pet owners likely do not even know that these problems exist.

Supple Pets is different. Each chew is formulated with:

  • European pharmaceutical-grade chondroitin sulfate – prescribed by European doctors, used by over 55 million people, and clinically studied for more than 50 years.

  • High-purity, shellfish-free glucosamine – with Supple chondroitin, supports comfort, flexibility, and mobility.

  • Clinically effective dosages – weight-based dosing derived directly from canine clinical research, ensuring small and large dogs alike receive the levels shown to support joint health and function.

This commitment to ingredient quality and effective dosing is the Supple difference: no fads, no unproven ingredients or dosages, no fake ingredients, no false claims — only what is shown to work based on strong clinical research and decades of real experiences of millions of people.

Comprehensive Joint Support Dogs Can Feel

Supple Pets Hip & Joint Care Chews are designed to:

  • Support canine mobility, comfort, and flexibility.

  • Help maintain healthy cartilage and connective tissue.

  • Promote joint protection throughout all stages of life.

The chews are tasty, easy to give, and manufactured with the same attention to quality that has defined Supple’s premium human supplements.

“For many families, pets are true members of the household. They deserve the same clinically supported science that people do,” Apatow added. “Supple Pets bridges that gap by delivering premium, human-grade joint care that pets can truly benefit from — and pet parents can finally trust.”

Solving a Pet Wellness Industry Challenge

Household pets are living longer, healthier lives thanks to advances in nutrition and veterinary care. Yet joint health remains one of the most pressing issues for dogs, with studies estimating that nearly 80 percent will experience joint issues or bone loss as they age.

With the U.S. pet industry spending now exceeding $69 billion annually and owners increasingly “humanizing” pet care, demand for evidence-based supplements is accelerating. Pet parents want products that are more than marketing hype — they want clinically supported solutions that reflect the same standards as human wellness.

Supple Pets enters this space as a category-defining brand, built on evidence-based science in both humans and canines, and backed by a global premium ingredient track record in joint health — now formulated specifically for dogs.

The Supple Legacy, Now for Pets

Supple has built its reputation on transparency, research, and clinically effective formulations with premium ingredients and dosages. Unlike brands that rely on proprietary blends, unproven ingredients, low-quality ingredients, or unproven dosages, Supple discloses its ingredients clearly, doses them at levels clinically shown to be effective, and sources only premium quality, independently verified raw materials.

Supple Pets is an extension of this philosophy:

  • Premium human-grade ingredients only.
  • Clinically supported dosing – grounded in veterinary research.
  • Independent testing – third-party verified for quality and purity.
  • Made in the USA with select global ingredients, consistent with FDA CVM guidelines.

This is the same science that has earned Supple ingredients the trust of millions of people worldwide — now formulated specifically for canine needs.

What is Action Length?

Warne Scope Mounts

What is Action Length?

Learn how your rifle’s action length impacts scope mount options.

At Warne®, we know that shooters understand the importance of a rock-solid mounting system for their optics. You’ve invested in a quality rifle and spent time picking out the right scope for you, for the system to work you need the correct mounting solution. One critical factor often overlooked when selecting scope mounts is your rifle’s action length.

What is Rifle Action Length?

In simple terms, the “action” of your rifle is the mechanism that loads, fires, and ejects cartridges. The majority of bolt action rifles can be broken down into 2 action lengths.

Short Action (SA): These rifles are built for shorter cartridges (e.g., .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, .243 Winchester).

Long Action (LA): Designed for longer cartridges (e.g., .30-06 Springfield, .300 Winchester Magnum, .270 Winchester).

Magnum Action: Designed for cartridges that are larger than the 375 H&H Magnum (e.g., .416 Rigby, .300 PRC, .338 Lapua Magnum, .458 Lott).

Why Does it Matter?

The length of your rifle’s action directly dictates the spacing of the mounting holes on your receiver if you are using a 1-piece base like a picatinny rail. Even if a short and long action receiver of the same model uses the same 2-piece base set, the overall hole spacing will differ between them. Sometimes it is even critical to know the action length to select the correct 2-piece bases.

How to Determine Your Rifle’s Action Length

Check the caliber: Generally, certain calibers are associated with specific action lengths (e.g., .308 is short action, .30-06 is long action). A quick online search for your rifle’s specific model and caliber will confirm this.

Consult your rifle’s manual: Your owner’s manual may specify the action length and advise what type of scope base to use.

Measure screw spacing: For some rifles, particularly older models or specific manufacturers, measuring the distance between the action screws can provide a definitive answer. While it is rare that this step is needed, Some models have hole spacing or screw sizes that have changed over the years and the only way to know what it needs is to measure.

Before you shop for your next scope mount, take a moment to confirm your rifle’s action length. This simple step will ensure you can quickly and easily select the perfect Warne mount.
