The Hellfire Linear Flash Suppressor

Introducing the

Hellfire Linear Flash Suppressor

ORDER YOURS NOW

You asked for it, so here it is.

As the Hellfire line has grown to not only have the Flagship 3-Port Brake, but the 2P, and a wide variety of Suppressor Mounts, the need became clear for a carbine-specific muzzle device. We got requests for linear/blast-forwarding devices, as well as flash-hiders, and couldn’t decide which we liked better – and weren’t convinced it had to be one or the other.

This device is half flash hider and half blast forwarder, giving carbine, SBR and AR Pistol owners a tailor-made device for reducing flash signature as well as concussion mitigation. Made from 17-4 PH Stainless and Black Nitrided, this system is constructed of two parts, and assembled in a manner that we intend to be permanent. The bore aperture of the LFS is suitable for calibers up to .458, loading the device with versatility and function.

SUNGLASSES  EYEGLASSES  APPAREL  TACTICAL

TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS,

Effective Tuesday, March 17th, 2020 our local California counties have enacted a “shelter in place” order— the strictest measure of its kind in the country. This measure directs everyone to stay inside their homes and away from others as much as possible for the next three weeks as public health officials try to get their arms around this crisis. The directive is to remain in place until at least April 7th.

As a result, Wiley X has immediately suspended operations until further notice. Any online orders placed will be delayed as a result of these forced actions by the county. Kindly check back daily on this website for updates on when orders can be shipped.

We also recognize that we are in a position to support the collective fight against COVID-19. Following guidance from public health authorities, we understand that practicing social distancing and reducing dense public gatherings as much as possible is critically important at this time. This is a global effort that requires all of our participation.

As news develops, Wiley X will continue to follow all recommendations by the CDC to help flatten the COVID-19 curve. Be safe out there. We are all in this together.

American Defense Announcement: COVID-19

The health, safety and well-being of the American Defense team, our consumers, and the communities in which we live, work, and play is the most important consideration today and always. As we cope with the ever-changing circumstances related to COVID-19, we believe we have to take unprecedented steps to protect our staff and our consumers, and to reduce the pressure on our healthcare professionals and local communities.

Effective today, we will close our factory showroom to limit the spread of COVID-19. Right now, we plan to be closed until Friday, March 27th – but we’ll continue to evaluate that decision as we learn more about the crisis and take direction from local and federal agencies.

We look forward to getting back to business as usual as quickly as possible and we know this is a challenging time for everyone, but we will get through this together.

Be safe and be well and thank you for supporting American Defense Manufacturing.

ASP business operations update (Coronavirus)

Coronavirus Update

We want to keep our colleagues, employees, suppliers and customers—especially the all-important law enforcement officers and agencies we serve—regularly updated on the status of our business operations during this international crisis. As of this post (17 March):

Shipping: We are in a good inventory position, with minimal manufacturing/supply disruptions, and are continuing to ship orders with few if any delays. Of course, this is a very fluid situation and may change based on demand or changing events, but at this point it is business as usual in terms of our ability to supply. We recognize—and take very seriously—the role we play in making sure that public safety professionals have the equipment they need to safely perform their duties, and are doing everything we can to ensure that they do.
Staffing: As important as our obligation is to our customers, of course we must also look after the health and safety of our employees. We are implementing a carefully-designed, strategic staffing plan that balances the need to maintain business operations with the need for safe interpersonal separation. Through a combination of shift structuring, physical space planning, remote work and other options at our disposal, we are confident that we can manage both our responsibility to emergency service workers and our responsibility to our own people and those around them. It is also our intention to ensure continuity of income to our employees regardless of modifications to business schedules or hours worked.
Customer support: Whether in the office or working remotely, we are here to support our Dealers, Distributors, agencies, officers and others in need of our help. Though we will have people answering phone calls, we recommend and request that customers reach us by email whenever possible. Specific contact notes:

  • For general inquiries and service, please write to customerservice@asp-usa.com and your message will be relayed to the right individual. We anticipate being able to maintain our usual high standards of responsiveness, but appreciate your patience in the event of any unexpected delays in communication.
  • Dealers and Distributors should contact their dedicated ASP Sales Director whenever possible.
  • For important business meetings, we are ready and able to host telephone or video conferences on a variety of platforms.
  • Remember that www.asp-usa.com provides a wealth of information, from product specifications to sell sheets to instructional videos.

Training and travel: Early in this crisis, we began canceling or postponing all offsite meetings and training (ASP Instructor Certification, ASP Trainer Certification) programs. Currently all are postponed through August, and we are continuously monitoring and reviewing the situation. We know that officers and agencies want and need the training we provide, but clearly this was the right decision. We have also instituted a no-travel policy for all of our employees. We very much look forward to being able to start rescheduling our training programs and our in-person business meetings as soon as it is safe to do so.
In short, to the extent that we can foresee it, ASP is equipped and prepared for continuity of operations through this difficult period. We will continue to keep you updated as appropriate, and hope you will all stay healthy and safe.
Cordially,
ASP, Inc.

Performance Upgrades for AICS Rifle Systems by Anarchy Outdoors

Ergonomic Performance Upgrades for AICS Rifle Systems By Anarchy Outdoors

North Logan, UT- Anarchy Outdoors, a leading industry innovator and supplier of precision rifle components and other high-performance firearms accessories, has introduced significant ergonomic upgrades for select Accuracy International rifle systems.  Designed in partnership with Accuracy Obsession, these precision-oriented upgrades include a Thumb Rest for a proper precision rifle grip, an improved Adjustable Cheek Piece for better eye-to-scope alignment and a Spigot Mount for superior bipod attachment.

A thumb rest is critical for a proper grip when shooting a precision rifle.  Most shooters in the precision rifle discipline do not curl their thumb around the grip in the traditional manner but position it on the trigger finger side of the grip.  This helps eliminate torque while squeezing the trigger and keeps the rifle on target.  The Anarchy Outdoors Thumb Rest provides an ergonomic and repeatable-position support on the strong side of the grip for the thumb to rest on, providing much better hand alignment and consistent trigger pull.  TheThumb Rests are manufactured from composite Nylon 12 material, resulting in a strong, thin, and perfectly textured interface.  Available in black with an MSRP of $39.99 Thumb Rests are compatible with select versions of the “AT” and “AX” rifle systems.  Please visit https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/accuracy-international-thumb-rest/for complete model compatibility.   

The Anarchy Outdoors Adjustable Cheek Piece is thinner and can be set lower than the factory version to allow mounting the rifle’s scope lower to the bore axis and still provide better and more comfortable eye alignment.  This minimizes the effect of parallax and the greater range of adjustment allows setting the comb height for maximum comfort while in the shooting position.  Made from composite Nylon 11, the installation only takes minutes using a basic Allen wrench.  The Adjustable Cheek Piece fits the factory AX buttstock and the AX-AICS R700 Chassis and is now available with an MSRP of $59.99.  Please visit https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/accuracy-international-ax-aics-cheek-piece-low/

The new Spigot Mount from Anarchy Outdoors provides an upgraded bipod attachment point for select Accuracy International AE, AT and AW rifle systems including the AWM and AW50.  Models are available for bipods that attach to either Picatinny or Arca Swiss type rails.  Rather than mount the bipod to the bottom of the stock, the Spigot Mount positions the bipod closer to the bore axis and further toward the muzzle by extending out from the front of the stock rather than the bottom.  This results in greater stability and accuracy.  All versions of the Spigot Mount are machined from a single piece of 6061-T6 Aluminum and are Type-III hard coat anodized black.  This one-piece bipod mount replaces the Accuracy International factory bipod “block” held within the square tube forend to provide the user a rigid bipod attachment point.
User installation is easy. It requires a 5/16” roll pin punch, 2.5mm Allen Key, 3mm Allen Key, and blue Loctite.  The Anarchy Outdoors Spigot Mounts have an MSRP of $119.99.  For more information please visit
https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/accuracy-international-spigot-mount/

Umarex Fusion 2 Sends 9 Rounds in Silence

 

FORT SMITH, AR (March 13, 2020) – Umarex USA continues blazing the path to deliver innovation, adventure and performance at an attractive price with the new Umarex Fusion 2 CO2 powered bolt action air rifle. The original Umarex Fusion pellet rifle was a CO2 powered bolt action design that was very popular for backyard plinking and quiet pest control. Umarex has carried over the best aspects of the original Umarex Fusion and added to it a re-designed SilencAir muzzle device, a nine-shot rotary magazine, a flexible CO2 power system, and an all-new stock design.
The original
Umarex Fusion was popular because of its accuracy, quietness, and compact design. These three elements remain the bedrock to which Umarex began their revamp of this classic rifle. The first thing shooters will notice about the Umarex Fusion 2 is how quiet it is. Umarex re-worked the SilencAir for better performance and a bold look. Shooters will notice the impact of the pellet on the target as louder than the muzzle report.
The repeater revolution that began in the pre-charged pneumatic category is finding a home in other rifle based platforms as well. The Umarex Fusion 2 proudly features one of the best designed rotary magazines in the industry. The Fusion 2 magazine is extremely easy to load and holds nine .177 caliber pellets. To load the magazine, insert a pellet into the first open space in the cylinder and rotate the magazine cylinder counter-clockwise. The magazine will hold on the last pellet seated, therefore the shooter doesn’t need to worry about the magazine getting out of sync. Umarex Fusion 2 magazines also feature a last shot indicator to help prevent dry-firing.
The original Umarex Fusion was powered by two 12-gram CO2 cartridges and that is still true of the Fusion 2, but with a twist: the Umarex Fusion 2 uses a removable 12-gram CO2 adapter that can be set aside if the shooter wants to use a single 88-gram CO2 cartridge. The Fusion 2 offers shooters the best of both worlds in powering convenience. Shorter shooting sessions can be done with economical 12-gram cartridges or a longer shooting session can be powered with a single 88-gram cartridge. Shooters can expect around 70 shots from a pair of 12-gram CO2 cartridges and around 250 with a single 88-gram cartridge.
While these big changes are offering shooters quite the bang for their buck, it must also be stated that the Umarex Fusion 2 comes with a 4X32 scope which mounts to an integral Picatinny style rail. The Fusion 2’s ergonomic stock has grip serrations on the fore-end and a raised cheekpiece that make getting a solid cheek weld a piece of cake for just about any shooter. The Umarex Fusion 2 also has a manual safety that is recessed into the stock just above the trigger on the right side. This oversized lever has a 90-degree throw for positive engagement and disengagement of the safety. The recessed positioning also means the safety is protected from accidental disengagement.
At the end of the day, Umarex wants shooters to find an air rifle that works for them. The Umarex Fusion 2 is an air rifle that will compel the whole family to get together and put in some valuable trigger and family time. The Umarex Fusion 2 is just one more rifle in the Umarex Airguns catalog that steps into that role with an impressive host of features and an MSRP of only $139.99.

COVID-19: Answers to Your BLADE Show Questions

 

Blade Website

SHOW INFO TRAVEL CLASSES EXHIBITOR LIST FAQ

An Important Update About BLADE Show

The BLADE Show team is continuing to monitor all information from federal, state and local governments regarding large public events to make the best decisions about the status of the event.

At this time, the federal government has recommended that no events exceeding 50 people take place in the next 8 weeks. BLADE Show is set for three weeks after that deadline, and therefore can take place. However, there is much uncertainty surrounding this virus. That timeline could change.

Refunds: In The Event of a Cancellation Only

Options currently under review include keeping BLADE Show on its regularly scheduled dates or postponing to allow for more time for the virus to curtail. Once a final decision is made, you will receive notice through official communication channels, including newsletters, websites, social media, etc. At that time, we will outline any refund policies in the event of a cancellation ONLY.

In addition, the BLADE Show will be working with the Cobb Galleria to ensure all recommended safety measures are in place. The city of Atlanta is continuing to maintain rigorous cleanliness and safety standards throughout public spaces, hotels and meeting facilities to host successful trade events.

Watch For Official Communication & Please Allow Staff to Work

The BLADE Show team asks that you refrain from e-mailing about refund information or other questions regarding cancellation or postponement at this time. The team is diligently working to make the best decision possible for exhibitors and attendees.

Hoping For The Best

It is certainly the team’s hope that BLADE Show will go on and provide an opportunity to connect with friends new and old.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Firearms Unified


Many of you know me as an artist. Many of you know me from my marketing business. Many won’t know me at all. With the scene in America, it’s time I said something.

Let me preface this by making clear that I’m not saying to be unprepared. I was a Boy Scout — I’m always prepared. We should be prepared for the unpredictable— tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. We should be ready to take care of ourselves, our families and friends.

But last night, I saw someone in true fear from this “pandemic”. They were alone. I could see it in their face, their eyes. It was silent panic. They needed reassurance.

Enough is enough.

As you read this, you should know who’s reading this, too. This is going out to many tens of thousands including many members of the U.S. Government, tens of thousands of our nation’s Law Enforcement, news and media organizations, artists, businesses, charitable organizations, the “Left”, the “Right”, all races, all politics. Many Americans nationwide will be reading this concurrently.

What I want to say is this: For the amount of actual death that has occurred, this “pandemic” has been blown way out of proportion. The Mainstream Media is having a field day. There is much missing, omitted and even false information. This is a “created” hysteria. Any good or positive news is missing or even ignored. This is fearmongering on a whole new level. While we all should obviously take precautions and be prepared, I think we need a reminder.

Here is the truth — For those old enough to have lived through 9/11, this was not only an American tragedy but the entire world lived through it with us. This was a planetary wake-up call. In a single day, everything changed. Of course we all know many thousands of people died, a new war began, rights diminished. But what else happened?

Despite what news, TV or movies make people believe, in the aftermath of 9/11, it was not pandemonium. People did not turn into cannibals or kill their fellow man in desperation. In fact, it was the opposite. There was no Left or Right. No black or white. No Republicans or Democrats. Just people. Just Americans. Unknown citizens emerged as heroes. The world poured help into New York City. People pulled together.

I remember this very clearly and it showed me the truth. People are good. They are decent. They help each other. They care. They do not need to be “forced” to help — they will just help. People will rise up in difficult times and care for others. Despite a few bad seeds, the vast majority of people are good. In my lifetime, 9/11 was the best reminder of this truth.

Movies, TV, and much of modern media is entertainment. The division of the American people is a pretense, and the evidence is 9/11.

My message is to not forget who we are. We’re Americans. We will take care of each other. This is who we are and it is what we do. For sure we should be prepared. We should be vigilant. Everything is going to be okay. We should all relax a bit knowing this truth.

Hartley vs. Sig Sauer Class Action Resolution

 

Although plaintiffs have not proven their claims, SIG SAUER has reached an agreement to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging that P320 pistols manufactured prior to August 8, 2017, have the ability to fire when the pistol’s slide and barrel are in an unlocked condition. The plaintiffs in this lawsuit claim that the inclusion of a mechanical disconnector in the design of the P320 pistol after August 8, 2017, a feature which is also included in the free Voluntary Upgrade Program (VUP) provided to all owners of P320 pistols manufactured prior to August 8, 2017, prevents the P320 pistol from firing in this condition.

SIG SAUER denies plaintiffs’ claims. By entering into this agreement, SIG SAUER is not admitting that any of plaintiffs’ allegations have merit, and plaintiffs have not proven their claims. In fact, it is SIG SAUER’s position that the design of the P320 pistol – both pre-upgrade and post-upgrade – prevents the P320 pistol from firing in an unlocked condition. SIG SAUER has conducted extensive testing of both the pre-upgrade and post-upgrade P320 pistols to confirm its position that the pistol will not fire with the slide and barrel in an unlocked condition.

In late 2017, SIG SAUER implemented an upgraded design of the P320 pistol to enhance the safety and performance of its P320 model pistol. All P320 owners who purchased a pistol prior to the design change are able to have their P320 pistols upgraded through the P320 Voluntary Upgrade Program (VUP). The upgraded design and implementation of the VUP was designed to further enhance the drop safety of the P320 model pistol. Although the P320 pistol met and exceeded all U.S. safety standards, it was discovered during additional testing beyond those standards that in some cases, under very specific conditions, the P320 pistol could discharge if dropped at a specific angle. Additionally, as part of this design upgrade, a mechanical disconnector was added to the P320 pistol to enhance trigger feel and consistency, as well as to prevent a “dead trigger” condition when the trigger has been pulled with the slide retracted. Although this disconnector serves as a redundant safety against the pistol firing in an unlocked condition, it is not its primary function and is not necessary to prevent such occurrences.

The SIG SAUER P320 pistol continues to meet and exceed all industry safety standards, and it is safe to carry and use in both the pre- and post-upgrade versions, when handled in accordance with the operator’s manual. However, to avoid the uncertainty and high costs of further litigation, SIG SAUER has reached an agreement to resolve this case. The forms attached below describe the rights which current and past P320 pistol owners may have under the terms of this agreement. If this agreement is finally approved by the court, these individuals may be entitled to certain benefits, including continued availability of the P320 VUP free of charge, a lifetime warranty against specific kinds of damage to the firearms, and a potential refund of amounts previously charged to repair firearms or replacement of unrepairable pistols. Please review these documents carefully to determine whether you may be eligible to submit a claim for such benefits.

NOTE: IF YOU CURRENTLY OWN A P320 PISTOL THAT WAS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO AUGUST 8, 2017, AND WHICH HAS NOT GONE THROUGH THE VOLUNTARY UPGRADE PROGRAM, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM TO HAVE AN UPGRADE PERFORMED. SIG SAUER ENCOURAGES YOU TO VISIT THE VOLUNTARY UPGRADE PAGE TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR FIREARM IS ELIGIBLE FOR UPGRADE, AND TO INITIATE THE UPGRADE PROCESS.

Completed claim forms can be submitted to: hartleyagreement@sigsauer.com.

NFA Processing & Coronavirus

As you are well aware, the coronavirus is disrupting nearly every facet of society. This morning, ASA spoke with our contacts at ATF to get you theFACTS about the potential impact the coronavirus could have on NFA processing times.

Here is what we know:

  1. NFA Division is operating as normal.
  2. At this time, West Virginia (where the NFA Division is located) has no confirmed cases of coronavirus.
  3. NFA Division is assessing their current remote work operations. They are identifying which staff (examiners and contractors) will be able to work remote if necessary, and are taking the necessary steps to ensure that the transition to remote processing would be as seamless as possible.

Should remote work become necessary, NFA Division will do their best to minimize disruptions and continue processing transfers as accurately and efficiently as possible. For those of you who recall the government shutdown in early 2019, any coronavirus related disruptions will be far less impactful.

ASA commends ATF for being proactive in their approach to the coronavirus. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide relevant factual updates as they become available.

Aero Precision

Aero Precision Customers and Followers,

We would like to address questions we have been receiving regarding COVID-19 and how it will impact our business and customers. Being located in the state of Washington, we are at the forefront of the fight against this virus and are subject to some major changes being made by our local government, including yesterday’s decision to close down K-12 schools for the next 6 weeks.

IT’S CORONA TIME !

download

How’s it going guys? Hope you’ve all had a great week and looking forward to a relaxing weekend, if that is even remotely possible. If there was ever a time for a shoot the shit this is it. Have you tried buying toilet paper, paper towels and hand sanitizer, LOL! What’s a shoot the shit say you?

A shoot the shit is a social interaction during which any topic can be discussed. The goal is to get participants to stop fingering their iPhone and clean themselves with Facebook and Twitter as toilet paper is unavailable. During a shoot the shit, the participants don’t need to know anything about the subject being discussed. They are free to make any unsupported statement, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject. The alternative is to pay a jackass who studied psychology, so they could understand themselves, $150 USD per hour to hear them tell you that you have a short penis complex. I’ll tell you how bad the situation is, consider the psychological conditioning imbedded in one of the Peloton ads. I’m referring to the ad that features two women with the following ad line: “…after a hard day, can you take a hard twenty…”. Now you are totally convinced that your manhood is lacking making their diagnosis correct. Remember that a psychologist is an individual who couldn’t pass the M.C.A.T. (Medical College Admissions Test).

Holy bat shit readers, can you believe what’s going on around this country of ours. Every “preper / survivalist” is hunkered-down in their bunker with 500 packages, of 24 count, of toilet paper expecting a “Red Dawn “ scenario for self actualization. Folks, the Coronavirus or COVID 19, is a respiratory virus, so unless you chowed down on a bad taco you won’t need that much toilet paper. Even if you shit yourself all over the kitchen floor do you need 100 rolls of super absorbent Bounty? When it comes to the Coronavirus it’s important to understand that the mortality rates of 2-4% is based on the best information available. Here’s what that means.

If you only know of 1000 people infected with the virus and 20 of those perish then we say its mortality rate is 2%, but in reality the actual number of those infected with the virus is much larger but are either asymptomatic or experiencing no more than flu symptoms, they have not been included in the calculation because we don’t know they exist. So, you are more likely to contract a case of the clap than be infected with Corona provided you use reasonable care. So why all the panic? Media hype aided by a group of politicians trying to instill fear in the population in order to undermine the President of the United States. So as they say in Hawaii, “TAKE IT EZ ALREADY EH YOU.”

BUT

I want you to think about this. China has as its strategic objective world dominance. They have a population of approximately 1.5 billion people, and they have an active chemical and biological weapons development program, they are accelerating expansion of their military and increasing space assets with a proposed colonization of the dark side of the moon. They want to replace the United States of America, so they will not hesitate to destroy our economy, just pay attention to what’s happening with our medical response to corona. They have used their huge market to lure American companies into the country. Part of that deal is the theft of technology. I know of companies who developed network routers and sent them out to China for manufacture. Five months later they saw the same router enter the U.S. market at 50% the price and under a different brand.They are also conducting industrial espionage using Chinese university students in US schools.

China has the capability to strike at the United States using cyber to disrupt all services including medical. They also have the capability to strike at the U.S. with biological weapons. If we respond with a nuclear strike and kill 300 million Chinese, the remaining 1.2 billion will have a better life. They can literally replace our entire population along with the EU’s.

As extreme as this sounds, and it is, as a country we need to have our eyes wide open and our heads out of our ass and fully oxygenated when it comes to dealing with the Chinese Communist Party at any level.

Having said that, shift those sweat pumps into low speed. Have a great weekend and relax, but if you wake with sniffles remember that it could be pollen.

XS Sights Announces 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee

xs logo

Fort Worth, TX (March 11, 2020) – XS® Sights is now offering a 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee on all pistol sights in addition to its No Questions Asked Warranty and world-class customer service. If a customer tries one of XS’s pistol sights – such as the F8,DXT2 Big Dot, or 3-Dot RAM night sights – and is not completely satisfied, the company will swap out their sight set for a different model or even offer a refund if the sight is purchased directly from the company or participating partners.

“As a family owned business, we believe in exceptional customer service and want those who have never used our sights, or perhaps are new to express sights in general, to feel comfortable trying them risk free,” said Zack Kinsley, Marketing Manager for XS Sights. “Some shoot Big Dots best while others will prefer the F8 or our 3-Dot RAM night sight because people’s eyes, training, and preferences are different. We want to make it as easy and stress-free as possible for everyone to find the sight system that works best for them and feel confident knowing XS sights are not only the fastest sights in any light, but that you can count on them for speed and accuracy when you need them.”

If the XS sight is purchased from a dealer, customers can still send their sights directly to XS for exchange. Customers will pay to ship their sights to XS, and XS will send them a new sight free of charge. If customers who purchase XS Sights pistol sights from dealers want a refund, they should work directly through their dealer.

XS will exchange for a new product if one exists. Exchanges can be made up to 30 days after the original purchase date. Customers should provide a photo receipt if not purchased through xssights.com. Sights that have been installed and test fired still qualify for exchange or refund. For more information or assistance email tech@xssight.com or call (888) 744-4880.

XS offers a variety of pistol sights including the following:

DXT2® Big Dot® Night Sights – This second-generation version of the company’s popular Big Dot sights offers exceptional front sight visibility in all lighting conditions. Available in two colors – Optic Yellow™ and Optic Orange™ – the DXT2 Big Dot sights drive focus to the front sight (and thus to the downrange threat) using a large, high-contrast front and a V-notch rear sight for an unobstructed view of the front sight.

F8® Night Sights – Excellent personal defense sights for fast target acquisition in all light conditions. Featuring a figure-eight, inline sight picture for an easy two-point alignment, the F8 sights are designed to instantly increase front sight focus thanks to the large (0.160” wide) high-contrast front sight with a photoluminescent orange colored ring surrounding the tritium.

RAM™ Night Sights – The brightest 3-dot sight options for fast and accurate shooting in bright and low light. RAM (radioactive material) night sights have a traditional 3-dot tritium, notch and post sight picture. The rear sight is blacked out to increase contrast against the front sight which is available in bright orange or green. The front sight features XS’s proprietary Ember® Glow Dot technology, which absorbs ambient light and glows in low light. The front tritium lamp in the RAM sight charges the Ember Glow Dot, making the front sight glow brighter than the rear, keeping one’s focus down range.

About XS Sights

XS Sights is known for making the fastest sights in any light. For more than 20 years, the XS team has created some of the most innovative sights on the market today for pistols, rifles and shotguns.

Galco Is Excited To Introduce The FasTrax PAC In Black MultiCam!

Header Logo

Fastrax PAC

Fastrax PACFastrax PACFastrax PAC

 

 

Galco is excited to introduce the best-selling FasTrax PAC™ in black MultiCam®, a stylish and distinctive option on the world’s most modern concealed carry waistpack. Designed to blend with casual modern clothing styles while discreetly carrying a compact defensive handgun, the FasTrax PAC keeps you ready for action.
Unlike old-style waistpacks that required the user to dig deeply into the pack to draw the handgun, the FasTrax PAC uses a highly innovative combination of a pivoting holster component and external activation cord. This enables you to unzip the pack and get your gun into action quickly compared to legacy waistpack designs. As we all know, speed is often in very short supply when you need a handgun to defend yourself and your loved ones.
Comfort is key when carrying all day, of course. To maximize wearer comfort, the FasTrax PAC’s back panel is made of Galco’s Comfort Cloth™, a soft and breathable adaptive performance mesh that keeps the pack comfortable against your body when worn all day long – even on sweaty trips to the gym or summer jogs.
Convenient concealment is also important. The FasTrax’s adjustable, stretchable elasticized waist strap also helps make for easy carry, and uses a Nexus® buckle for quick on-off capability. The pack’s contemporary 400 denier packcloth body has a zippered pocket that carries EDC items like keys, a wallet, phone or flashlight. A helpful pass-through port on the front pocket accommodates cables for earbuds or other devices.
The versatile FasTrax is easily adjustable to fit a wide range of handguns. From .380s like the Ruger LCP to smaller fighting pistols like the Glock 43X, and including small-frame revolvers, it’ll fit just about any popular compact or subcompact defensive handgun.
Galco’s patent-pending FasTrax PAC tops the list for comfortable, convenient carry and speed into action in an increasingly casually-dressed world. Also available in gray/black, it retails for $79.

  

 

Galco International, LTD is the designer and manufacturer of the Galco holster brand, the premier American-made line of superb-quality holsters, belts and accessories. Encompassing law enforcement, military, defensive and sporting use, the Galco brand utilizes leather, nylon, injection-molded plastic and Kydex® to meet the demands of today’s consumers. The award-winning Matrix™ line of holsters and accessories, women’s holster handbags, tactical slings and hunting accessories round out the line. All Galco products are proudly made in the USA since 1969.

For Fourth Consecutive Year, MasterPiece Arms (MPA) Named Official Chassis of the 2020 Precision Rifle Series (PRS) Season

 

MPA will also sponsor multiple PRS Pro Matches throughout 2020, including the 2020 PRS Finale.

MPA BA Competition Chassis


Comer, Ga. (March 2020)MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturers of the MPA BA Rifles and Chassis Systems, is honored to have been named the Official Chassis of the 2020 Precision Rifle Series (PRS) Season. This is the fourth consecutive year that MPA has been named the Official Chassis of the PRS. MPA will also sponsor multiple PRS Pro matches throughout the year, including the 2020 PRS Finale, held Dec. 13 – 15, 2020, in Ninnekah, Oklahoma. In addition, MPA will host the MPA Spring Shootout and the MPA Summer Shootout during 2020, which have proved to be two of the more popular PRS Pro Series matches in the past.

“We have a long and deep commitment to the long-range shooting community, and we are truly humbled and honored to once again be named the Official Chassis of the PRS. We never want a customer to regret the decision to purchase one of our hand-built precision rifles, so we are constantly listening to their feedback and continue to use it to produce a better product,” commented Phil Cashin, owner of MPA. “We are committed to producing innovative, quality-built chassis and rifles that every shooter can rely on.”

The MPA BA Competition Chassis is the competition version of MPA’s highly successful MPA BA Chassis System. It is designed to give shooters a competitive advantage when shooting in long-range tactical rifle competitions, such as the PRS. Features include an Enhance Vertical Grip (EVG), a front night vision bridge, lower Picatinny rail, multiple QD sling swivel locations, a V4 spigot mount, an ultra bag rider, and a two-round holder. The unique pocketing system reduces weight and increases the structural integrity of the chassis. MSRP ranges from $999 – $1,150.

MasterPiece Arms introduced its most revolutionary chassis configuration yet, the MPA Matrix Chassis, in the fall of 2019. This is an enhanced version of MPA’s highly successful BA Chassis System. With a multitude of configurations in grips, thumb rests and trigger finger supports, the primary interface between the shooter and the rifle (the grip) has over 100 different variations. The MPA Matrix Chassis features five different grip options (three swept and two vertical), three different thumb rest designs and four different trigger finger supports. It also has M-LOK slots along the side of the chassis forend and barricade stop holes along the bottom of the forend. The forend of the chassis is the same length as the MPA ESR Chassis, making it two inches longer than the standard BA or BA Competition Chassis. MSRP ranges $1,250 – $1,450.

MasterPiece Arms continues to keep the PRS shooter in mind with its BA PMR (Precision Match Rifle) Pro Competition Rifle, which is designed specifically for the Production Class requirements of the PRS, keeping in mind the revised increased price threshold of $2,500 for the 2020 season. This is an approved rifle for the Production Class of the PRS and includes many competition-related features while staying under the $2,500 price limit.

The PRS is the preeminent rifle organization in the world, structuring a yearly point race for both the PRS Pro Bolt Gun Series and the PRS Regional Series. The PRS Championship Shooting Series is synonymous with precision rifle shooting. The PRS is home to countless competitors, including 6,000 active PRS shooters with scores being tracked. The PRS unites the 40 most renowned national pro series precision rifle competitions and continues to expand the PRS Regional Series, which hosts hundreds of one-day matches from coast to coast. The influence of the PRS, with more than 1,000 professional-level competitions and growing global presence, extends in every conceivable direction inspiring the precision rifle community at its grassroots, hometown level.

Tasmanian Tiger Donates $25K to Team 5 World Expedition

The non-profit Team 5 Medical Foundation sets off on a five month, five continent expedition to bring medical relief across the globe, supported by donations from individuals and companies like Tasmanian Tiger®.

Miramar, Fla. (March 2020) – Tasmanian Tiger®, a tactical nylon line of products distributed exclusively for the US market by Proforce Equipment, Inc., and Silver Sponsor for the Team 5 Medical Foundation, has donated $25,000 to support their five month, five continent expedition around the world to bring much needed medical care to hard-to-reach populations.

The Team 5 expedition “Deploying for Humanity,” was the brainchild of Team 5 Medical Foundation founder, Eric Linder, to “deploy, explore new locations that have been overlooked, forgotten or undiscovered. Then, break bread with village elders and leaders and learn the culture and gain trust with them.” The volunteer teams will also inspect and inventory clinics and medical facilities, provide mini-clinics for local healthcare providers, generate information on demographics, patient assessments and needs of the community. As part of their initiative, Team 5 members will also gather information for partners working with clean water initiatives and human trafficking. Once all the information is gathered and reviewed, Team 5 will return in 2021 to the hosting village with surgical and medical plans in place, including providing medications, surgery, and educational courses.

The Team 5 volunteers comprised of a doctor, PA/RN/SF medics, Veterinarian, Logistics, translators, and cameramen are currently in Guatemala, where they begin their journey. From there, the teams will venture to Costa Rica; Columbia, South America; Nepal, India; Israel; Ethiopia, Kenya and Somaliland, Africa; Australia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Cebu and finally, Alaska. Team 5’s travel blog will provide up-to-date information on locations, peoples, and situations throughout the next five months.

“Supporting Team 5 on this critical mission is reflective of the core values of Tasmanian Tiger and Tatonka GmbH,” Andreas Schechinger, CEO of Tatonka GmbH, said. “All of our employees, from our corporate and satellite offices to our factories, are part of our Open Factory concept. That means we respect our employees and provide for them a socially responsible and sustainable environment in which to create, produce, and thrive. Like Team 5, Tasmanian Tiger strives to make the world a better place.”

Another Texas Police Department Implements Viridian® Gun Cameras

  MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – March 10, 2020 – The Decatur, Texas Police Department has deployed the FACT Duty Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC) in the field. Police Chief Rex Hoskins, Captain Delvon Campbell and officials from Minnesota-based Viridian Weapon Technologies will give a short news conference on the impact of the new technology. The news conference will take place at 10:00 AM at the Decatur Conference Center (Great Hall) located at 1910 West US HWY 380, Decatur, Texas 76234.

Decatur’s announcement comes on the heels of a high-profile trial in Vernon, Texas just last month. For the first time, footage from Viridian’s gun camera was used in an officer-involved shooting (OIS) trial, and a jury quickly convicted the defendant of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a public official. The WMC provided the critical evidence in the case by showing the defendant pointing a sawed-off shotgun at Vernon Police Corporal T.J. Session during an exchange of gunfire in which both Corporal Session and the defendant were shot and wounded.
“The Weapon-Mounted Cameras now in use by our department better prepare them for the dangers and realities facing police officers today,” said Decatur Police Chief Rex Hoskins. “The FACT Duty provides a perspective different from any other cameras available today. We saw this when we first learned of the cameras, and last month’s trial in Wilbarger County was very compelling reinforcement on why we want it for our officers.”
Viridian has created an important category for law enforcement with the introduction of the Weapon-Mounted Camera. This distinctive camera provides an unobstructed view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras.
“The decision by Chief Hoskins and other law enforcement agencies across the country further demonstrates the need for our FACT Duty gun camera,” Viridian President and CEO, Brian Hedeen, said.  “Our technology can be a supplement or alternative to body cameras as a mandatory evidentiary tool to provide the critical evidence of a subject’s actions at the time a police officer is forced to make the split-second decision to pull the trigger.”
The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment.
More information, including sample video and access to Decatur and Viridian personnel for comment, is available before or after the news conference by contacting Tim Brandt at
tim.brandt@murrayroadagency.com or calling 763-291-9044.

GALCO Introducing The FasTrax PAC Elite

Header Logo

Galco Is Excited To Introduce The FasTrax PAC Elite!

Fastrax Elite

Fastrax EliteFastrax EliteFastrax Elite

 Following closely on the enormously successful introduction of the FasTrax PAC™ waistpack at SHOT Show 2020, Galco is excited to introduce a full-grain leather version – the FasTrax PAC™ Elite! Designed to blend with casual modern clothing styles, the Elite discreetly carries a compact defensive handgun ready for action.
Unlike old-style waistpacks that required the user to dig deeply into the pack to draw the handgun, the FasTrax PAC Elite uses a highly innovative combination of a pivoting holster component and external activation cord. This enables you to unzip the pack and get your gun into action quickly compared to legacy waistpack designs. As we all know, speed is often in very short supply when you need a handgun to defend yourself and your loved ones.
Comfort is key when carrying all day, of course. To maximize wearer comfort, the FasTrax PAC Elite’s back panel is made of Galco’s Comfort Cloth™, a soft and breathable adaptive performance mesh that keeps the pack comfortable against your body when worn all day long.
Convenient concealment is also important. The FasTrax’s adjustable, stretchable elasticized waist strap also helps make for easy carry, and uses a Nexus® buckle for quick on-off capability. The pack’s contemporary full-grain leather body and front face features a zippered pocket that carries EDC items like keys, a wallet, phone or flashlight. A helpful pass-through device on the front pocket accommodates cables for earbuds or other devices.
The versatile FasTrax is easily adjustable to fit a wide range of handguns. From .380s like the Ruger LCP to smaller fighting pistols like the Glock 43X, and including small-frame revolvers, it’ll fit just about any popular compact or subcompact defensive handgun. Fully ambidextrous, it also easily converts from right hand to left hand use.
Galco’s patent-pending FasTrax PAC Elite is at the top of the list for comfortable, convenient carry and speed into action in an increasingly casually-dressed world. Available in black, it retails for $99.

  

 

Galco International, LTD is the designer and manufacturer of the Galco holster brand, the premier American-made line of superb-quality holsters, belts and accessories. Encompassing law enforcement, military, defensive and sporting use, the Galco brand utilizes leather, nylon, injection-molded plastic and Kydex® to meet the demands of today’s consumers.

Our 5 Must-Have Items to Have In Your Range Bag

 

Gainesville, GA (March 9, 2020) For some long-range shooters, their “range bag” is whatever they can stuff into their jacket pockets. For others, the actual bag resembles an oversized suitcase and weighs as much as a St. Bernard!  

A better option? A range bag that can be carried in one hand or over the shoulder, holding a shooter’s most commonly-needed gear items plus a few pieces for emergencies, is ideal for long-range shooters.

  • For the long-range shooter at practice or competition, the first item, no doubt, is your mobile device loaded with Ballistic, the definitive and free long-range shooting app. Add in a notebook and writing instruments, and you are all set to calculate and record your day’s shooting.
  • Safety is always on the mind of the shooter, so that means hearing protection and shooting glasses should also be found in your bag.
  • A small medical kit is a real plus to have on hand, too, and for worst-case scenarios, a tourniquet is a great idea that takes up very little room. But, make sure you know how to use it before loading it into your bag. During a high-stress situation is not the time to try to figure out a tourniquet!
  • Ammo, yes, whatever ammunition you think you might need should definitely be in your bag.
  • Of course, long-range means knowing the distance is of extreme importance, so a range finder and a spotting scope or higher-magnification binoculars are a must. 

Curt Vaughn, Head of Product for Ballistic and a long-range shooting competitor, carries his range bag to hundreds of practice sessions and competitions annually. Over the years, he’s found that a selection of tools in his range bag is a huge help.

BONUS ITEMS: “I make sure I have a selection of Allen wrenches, Torx wrenches, a scope level kit, pliers and a crescent wrench,” Vaughn said. “You can’t carry everything, of course, and I focus on the tools I might need to make minor adjustments and quick repairs. These aren’t just for me, but, in a match, someone else might need them, too.”

He suggests tossing in a sharp pocketknife, too, which can be a lifesaver in dozens of situations. Likewise, a roll of masking or duct tape can fulfill a thousand and one uses.

Safety is always on the mind of the shooter, so that means hearing protection and shooting glasses should also be found in your bag. Vaughn likes to make sure he has extra safety glasses and hearing protection in his range bag. “Another shooter or competitor might need them,” Vaughn noted.  “Either they were forgotten, or the items experienced a malfunction. Hey, we long-range shooters are here to help each other, right?”

To have these very-needed items at your fingertips, here are two of our favorite new range bags:

 

— The Ulfhednar Short Day Range Bag is a durable field bag with a tough, water-resistant exterior made from Cordura nylon. Inside is a removable bag that simplifies the organization of items, while an ergonomic carrying strap with non-slip material makes transporting this bag super easy. The Short Day Range Bag features a side pocket with a removable “table” for smaller accessories.

 

 

— The Plano X2 Range Bag Medium includes a hard pistol case and ammo can providing sturdy, dependable protection for firearms and ammunition. Remove either of the molded items for large bulk storage, though there’s plenty of room on the exterior to take care of additional storage needs. Easy-carry handles and comfortable, removable shoulder strap makes this the perfect “grab and go anytime” range bag. 

For a great day of long-range shooting, load up and carry on!

 

 

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.
