Slovakia selects Rafael’s SPIKE LR2 ATGM

Slovakia is the 6th nation to choose the 5th generation SPIKE LR2

TEL AVIV, March 5, 2020 – The Slovak Ministry of Defence has signed a contract with Eurospike (a European Joint Venture between Rafael Advanced Defence Systems Ltd., Diehl Defence and Rheinmettal Electronics) for the supply of the advanced 5thgeneration SPIKE LR2 ATGM and dismounted advanced ICLU launchers (Integrated Control Launch Units). The procurement was carried out through the NATO Support & Procurement Agency (NSPA).

The Slovak army is the 6th armed force to choose the modern 5th generation SPIKE LR2, and it is part of  another 34 SPIKE user nations. Slovakia is also the 3rd NATO nation which will be using the SPIKE LR2 and follow the seamless transition by SPIKE Missile user nations from 4th generation SPIKE LR missiles to the 5th generation SPIKE LR2 Missile variant fired from the same vehicle or dismounted launchers.

In April 2018 the Slovak MOD published the successful results of the field testing phase of the Slovak Turra 30 mm Remote Control Weapon Stations (RCWS) mounted on Patria vehicles including multiple launch of vehicle-mounted SPIKE Missiles from the EVPU RCWS.

The current contract includes dismounted launchers, signifying that the SPIKE LR2 is now the ATGM of choice both for the Slovak infantry as well as for its cavalry.

SPIKE LR2 is a cutting-edge 5th generation, multi-platform, multi-mission and multi-range electro-optical missile, with enhanced standoff range of 5.5 km, fire & forget capabilities as well as man-in-the-loop features, such as retargeting mid-flight, attack of hidden targets beyond-line–of-sight, as well as the ability to launch to non-line-of-sight targets based solely on their geo-coordinates.

Slovakia is among 19th EU / NATO SPIKE missile user nations. More than 33,000 SPIKE missiles have been supplied to-date around the world, with over 6000 SPIKE missiles firings, both in training and in combat.

The selection of the SPIKE LR2 missile by the Slovak armed forces will allow the Slovakia army 5th generation tactical overmatch. This purchase is part of the ongoing modernization of armed forces taking place around Europe, in which the SPIKE Missiles have assumed a major role in enhancing deterrence and capability.

EUROSPIKE Managing Director, Mr. Wolfgang Herrnberger :
“We are very thankful for the confidence of the Slovak army and would like also to thank NSPA for their quick responsiveness and professionalism. This procurement by Slovakia follows past contracts of SPIKE Missile by Germany, Baltic States Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, as well as many other European countries, which has created common ATGM capabilities within Europe, serving interoperability and potentially future cross-nation mutual support”.

Steinel Ammunition Revives a Classic Military Round, the 6.5 x 52mm Carcano

 

Unlike current factory loaded 6.5 Carcano ammunition, Steinel’s load respects the original concept, thus providing outstanding accuracy as in its original format in 1891.

Twinsburg, Ohio (February 2020)Steinel Ammunition, a manufacturer of premium vintage military, hunting, and self-defense ammunition, tackles another milsurp round, bringing back its original accuracy performance: the 6.5 x 52mm Carcano.

The 6.5x52mm Carcano cartridge has been around since 1891, and was only phased out of military service in the 1970s. Carcano rifles were strong actions, and most used gain-twist rifling to extend barrel life and improve accuracy. Heavy for the caliber projectiles, it retained useful energy levels despite the round nose form. The original lead core bullets had poor terminal performance, so later designs filled the bullet nose with less dense aluminum to promote tumbling on impact. Nearly 3 million Carcano rifles were built, and many of them sold in the US as surplus.

Unfortunately, until recently the ammunition supply did not keep up with demand. Corrosive World War II vintage or older surplus ammunition is unavailable, and what can be found should not be shot due to the uncertainties surrounding the storage conditions. A relatively affordable PPU load is available but offers very poor accuracy due to the severely undersized bullets used in all observed samples, resulting in unstabilized projectiles right from the muzzle.

Fortunately, an excellent target load is now available from Steinel Ammunition. The new cartridges use soft point expanding bullets that provide excellent terminal effect and accuracy while promoting reliable feeding. Loaded to 1,770 fps (from 17.5in barrels), this load offers a significantly lighter recoil than the original, while retaining good terminal performance at distances reasonable with iron sights. At short range, the bullet expands to about 0.516-inch with 39-inch penetration of synthetic gel, sufficient for a double-shoulder shot on a deer. This ammunition is non-corrosive and made to much higher quality and more consistent specifications than either military surplus or other commercial loadings.

Steinel Ammunition’s new vintage military round, the 6.5×52 Carcano is available online for $31.99 a 20-rd. box.

Introducing Galco’s Combat Master For The SIG-Sauer P365 Pistol!

 

Galco is excited to announce a Combat Master™ belt holster for the extremely popular SIG-Sauer P365 pistol!

The Combat Master is a professional-grade belt holster constructed of the top 2% of premium steerhide available in America, hand-molded by our experienced craftsmen to fit specific handguns. This gives it excellent retention properties along with a beautiful appearance.

But beauty is only skin-deep, especially in a holster designed for concealment. The Combat Master’s traditional high-riding pancake-style design places the belt slots on either side of the holster, pulling the handgun tight to the body and making defensive handguns disappear under even light clothing. It also features an open top with firing grip accessibility for speed – since time is always in short supply in defensive situations.

The Combat Master’s covered trigger ensures safe carry. Meanwhile, its double-stitched seams enhance durability, making the Combat Master one of the longest-lasting holsters money can buy.

Lastly, the Combat Master’s twin belt slots fit belts up to 1 ¾” wide, so it blends perfectly with current clothing styles. And blending in is the name of the game when we’re talking about concealed carry!

Available in black or tan, the Combat Master is available at an MSRP of $99.

Savage Arms Delivers 12 Gauge Versatility: RENEGAUGE Field

 

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – March 4, 2020 – Savage Arms’ new shotgun is redefining the way shooters think about versatility. With its Dual Regulating Inline Valve gas system and adjustable stock, Renegauge Field is one of the most ergonomic and adaptable semi-automatic shotguns ever made.

“Renegauge can do it all,” Jessica Treglia, Senior Brand Manager at Savage Arms said. “With the D.R.I.V. gas system, shooters can go from the range to the hunt without making any adjustments to the gas system. From target practice to dove hunts—or even high-flying geese—Renegauge Field can do it all.”

The American made Renegauge Field is available with a 28” or 26” barrel. Every Renegauge is built with Savage’s commitment to refined ergonomics. The fit of a Renegauge can be adjusted in 20 different ways. From the length of pull and the comb height to the drop at heel, the stock can expand or contract as needed. This perfect fit is crucial for accuracy and performance.

And Renegauge has even more adaptability built into its action. The D.R.I.V. gas system takes only the pressure it needs from each shot to cycle the action. Any excess pressure is vented through the front of the gun. The result is a fine-tuned action that can cycle low-recoil target shells as easily as it cycles magnum hunting loads, and with no need for adjustment from users.

Features

  • D.R.I.V. gas system
  • Adjustable stock for length of pull, comb height, and drop & cast
  • One-piece, chrome plated action bar assembly
  • Chrome plated reciprocating components
  • Stock rod buffer to reduce felt recoil
  • Fluted barrel with melonite finish
  • Carbon steel ventilated rib with red fiberoptic sight
  • Competition-ready easy loading magazine port
  • Oversized controls
  • 3 interchangeable flush mount choke tubes (Beretta/Benelli) – IC, M, F
  • Hard-sided carrying case

Steinel Ammunition Releases its First Premium 9mm Defensive Load

Steinel Ammunition Co., known for their hard to source, unique MILSurp loads and premium hunting and target ammo, have designed a 9mm 124gr. Subcompact Carry SCHP round for EDC.


Twinsburg, Ohio (March 2020)Steinel Ammunition, a premium manufacturer of self-defense, hunting, and target ammunition, has launched its first-of-its-kind premium defensive ammo for the 9mm with the 9mm 124gr. Subcompact Carry Solid Copper Hollow Point (SCHP).

“This 9mm Subcompact Carry round is our first mainstream round we’ve added to our product line-up,” Andy Steinel, president of Steinel Ammunition, explained. “Although we have come to be known for our premium MILSurp rounds, we figured, even though we all love to go to the range and shoot these amazing classic firearms, we also carry defensive firearms every day. So why shouldn’t we have the same quality ammunition in our EDC as we do in our fine military collectibles?”

The Steinel 9mm Subcompact Carry load is perfectly suitable for any 9mm, regardless of barrel length, but its performance is optimized for the shorter, subcompact and compact-sized pistols. Taking the standard “cup and core” jacketed hollow point typically used in 9mm rounds for decades, Steinel Ammunition added modern CNC and EDM technology to produce their premium SCHP bullet.

Steinel Ammunition’s 9mm Subcompact Carry bullets combine premium components such as Maker Solid Copper Hollow Point bullets, new Starline nickel-plated casings, Hodgdon powder, and CCI’s primers. The bullets expand to a diameter of 0.706” when fired from a 3” barrel at 960 FPS. Fired from a 4.7” barrel, the bullet expanded to a diameter of .857” with 1,050 FPS velocity.

Steinel Ammunition’s new 9mm 124 gr. Subcompact Carry SCHP round is available online for $19.99 for a box of 20 rounds.

Tasmanian Tiger Partners with Team 5 Medical Foundation

Tasmanian Tiger’s Silver Sponsorship of the non-profit SOFMED veteran foundation helps provide medical care in remote areas of the world. 

 


Miramar, Fla. (March 2020)Tasmanian Tiger®, a tactical nylon line of products distributed exclusively for the US market by Proforce Equipment, Inc., proudly serves as a Silver Sponsor for the Team 5 Medical Foundation, a non-profit that brings critically needed medical relief to some of the most remote locations and indigenous populations on the earth. The Team 5 Foundation is certified by the World Health Organization to support its international healthcare efforts.

Launched in 2010 by founder (and chairman), Eric S. Linder, RMP, FAWM, with a mission to build a medical foundation that had no political or religious ties, Team 5 has grown to include special operations forces, ultra-athletes and survival experts who venture to these remote locations to educate healthcare workers, provide remote medicine and donate supplies.

Linder’s experience prior to the establishment of Team 5 includes Aerospace Rescue in the US Air Force, Operation Desert Storm Security Police, and Diplomatic Protection Agent. After his military service, Linder joined the Las Vegas Metro Police Department and served in various units including gang intelligence, fugitive detail, tactical medic, and crisis negotiator. During this period, Linder received an international fellowship to Israel for intelligence tactical medicine and counter-terrorism. He has worked with INTERPOL, Border Guard and INTERPOL’s Special Forces Combat Search and Rescue Team. After 9/11, he joined the Federal Air Marshal Program as an agent, tactical medic and instructor. Linder is an NREMT certified Tactical Medical Practitioner, an instructor of Medical Person-in-Charge for maritime and a lecturer at the School of Medicine at the University of Zagreb, Croatia.

It was during Linder’s Remote Medical Practitioner training at the Belize Institute of Tropical Medicine that he realized a vision for Team 5. Today, each team of five members includes one doctor/surgeon, two special forces medics, an oral surgeon and a pediatric intensive care nurse. Almost all members of each team are veterans, continuing to serve and utilize their expertise in working in austere conditions to bring much-needed relief to people living in hard to reach places.

Tasmanian Tiger’s partnership with Team 5 and Eric Linder also benefited from all of Linder’s tactical medical experience. Linder consults with Tasmanian Tiger on the development of the Medic Equipment line including backpacks, bags, accessories, IFAK pouches and tourniquet pouches.

The unique designs of Tasmanian Tiger’s medical equipment backpacks include the versatileTT First Responder Move On MKII pack, in which a large main backpack can be completely customized with medical equipment, and a smaller backpack zipped to the front, can be removed and used as a quick trauma pack.

Organization is key in medical emergencies or when packing for a remote medical mission. Linder and Tasmanian Tiger’s answer to organization comes in the TT Modular Medic Insert 30 and 45, each specific to the TT Modular Pack 30 or 45 and allows the user to configure the pack into a medic pack with pouches designed to be easily accessed and identified.

Tasmanian Tiger’s IFAK pouch is a quick-access, first-aid pouch for immediate care. Like many of Tasmanian Tiger’s medic equipment, versatility is key and items like the IFAK pouch can be used with the TT TACVEC systems such as the TT Modular Front Seat Panel or the TT Head Rest IFAK version which attaches to the back of a car seat headrest.

“Our medic equipment has consistently won high scores and praise from the National Tactical Officers Association Member Tested and Recommended Program and SWAT medics across the country,” Richard Lewis, President and CEO of Proforce Equipment, explained. “When you have someone with the kind of experience and passion that Eric Linder has for providing medical relief to less fortunate people on five continents, you know that the equipment has to meet his and Team 5’s most serious criteria for performance, durability, versatility, and ease of use.”

Tulster Introduces the SideKick

Tulster

Tulster SideKick

Jenks, Oklahoma (March 3, 2020) The Tulster SideKick is the latest in holster concealment hardware, an innovative claw-like device improving on a growing trend in the world of concealed carry. Anyone concealing a firearm every day wants better concealment without any compromises.

Perfect for long-time Tulster end-users, as well as individuals new to concealed carry looking for maximum concealment, the SideKick easily retrofits to the holster you already own and carry every day. Intended to reduce the print of your firearm while concealing, the SideKick was designed with the same goal in mind as the rest of Tulster’s innovative product line: to be ultra-concealable, comfortable, and maintain the profile of your firearm.

A minimalistic redesign of a concealment claw or wing, the Tulster SideKick has a similar function. Applied to the trigger-guard of your holster, it pushes against the backside of your EDC belt, leveraging the grip of the firearm into your side. The firearm and holster disappear into your clothing.

Due to dissatisfaction with current available claw or wing devices on the market, we set out to develop our own that functions better with the Profile holster lineup. Tulster has been in the development stages of a SideKick like device since mid-2019, making sure that the absolute best design was achieved. What sets the SideKick apart from the typical concealment claw is the direct application onto the IWB holster.

Unlike other concealment-enhancers which are applied to the retention area of your holster, the placement of the SideKick on the trigger-guard prevents interference with the function of your holster. There is no need to continually retighten or adjust your hardware since the Tulster SideKick is applied with durable pressure-activated adhesive pads. These fasteners, along with the included adhesive promoter pen, ensure the Tulster SideKick will remain securely attached, without involving complicated drilling or additional screw and post hardware kits.

Each SideKick is milled from Delrin (an Acetal polymer), a high strength, virtually indestructible plastic. With it, we ensure rigidity when consistent pressure is applied during daily use. It’s easy to attach to almost every Tulster Profile holster, and is also compatible with some other IWB holsters that have similar trigger guard areas with a significant flat surface.

The SideKick bundle is available at Tulster.com for only $12.99, and includes the following:

  • (2) Alcohol Prep Pads
  • (1) 3M Primer 94 Promoter Pen
  • (2) 3M VHB Adhesive Fasteners
  • (1) Tulster SideKick LARGE – 1/2″
  • (1) Tulster SideKick MEDIUM – 3/8″

Located in Jenks, Oklahoma, Tulster is all about the development and manufacturing of Every Day Carry gear.

New Axeon Optics Scope Made for Predators

New Axeon Predator Scope Made for Unforgiving Conditions

FORT SMITH, AR (March 2nd, 2020) – Axeon Optics is proud to announce, in conjunction with the Dog Soldier himself, Steve Criner, the arrival of the Dog Soldier Predator Scope. Steve Criner, professional predator hunter and host of both Dog Soldier TV show on Pursuit Channel and the web-based Real Air Gun Hunting show, worked closely with Axeon in developing a tough scope that would be ideal for predator hunting in unforgiving conditions. The Dog Soldier Scope notably features 4-16X magnification, large 50mm objective lens, 30mm tube, an illuminated mil-dot reticle, and covered, toolless 1/4MOA adjust turrets.Axeon Dog Soldier Scope

“You guys know that when predator hunters are out in the field things happen fast, and I need a scope that can react to changing light and predators on the move. I told Axeon that I needed a big bright objective lens and illuminated reticle that I could set my drops and see night or day. Axeon delivered and delivered big time.” Criner said. Steve was adamant that the turrets be low-profile so that once zero is established there will be no worry about the turret being accidentally turned while transporting the rifle to the blind or snagged while pulling it out of a scabbard.Steve Criner
The Dog Soldier scope was designed for hunters by a hunter. Steve’s extensive time in the field has given him insight into key characteristics he desires in any product. “When I’m on a hunt, whether its day or night, I have to have complete trust in my gear. I’ve been using Axeon scopes for a few years now and they’ve proven to be bright, clear and tough. I wanted them to push those principles and make a scope that will absolutely deliver in all the conditions I hunt in. Things get knocked around, dust flies, and Mother Nature doesn’t let up and neither do I. The Dog Soldier scope gets out of my way so I can do my job.”
Steve hasn’t been alone in testing the effectiveness of the Dog Soldier scope. His team of “Regulators” have also been giving this 4-16X50 scope a workout in the field hunting predators from Texas to Oklahoma to Colorado and Wyoming. The Dog Soldier scope is shock rated for 1200Gs and is right at home on a hard-hitting magnum or a lightning-fast .22-250 Remington. Criner has his Axeon Dog Soldier scope mounted on a 6mm Creedmoor Legend Maker made by Cutting Edge Rifles. This combination has been filling Steve’s social media pages and hunting videos with plenty of content over the past year. Like all the Axeon Optics scopes, the Dog Soldier scope comes with a limited lifetime warranty and scope caps. Hunters will be pleased to know that they can pick up the Dog Soldier Predator Scope for just $249.99 and still depend on it. It’s available now at select sporting goods retailers and

Trijicon VCOG® 1-8×28 Selected as USMC Squad Common Optic

Image result for VCOG® 1-8x28Wixom, MI — Trijicon, Inc., global provider of innovative aiming solutions for the hunting, shooting, military, and law enforcement markets, is pleased to announce the selection of the Trijicon VCOG (Variable Combat Optical Gunsight) 1-8×28 riflescope as the U.S. Marine Corps’ Squad Common Optic (SCO). The $64,000,000 contract award will begin with delivery of units in 2020. Trijicon will manufacture the SCO at its Wixom, Michigan factory.

“Our warfighters deserve the very best equipment in defense of our nation. The Marine Corps’ SCO evaluation process was extremely rigorous, and we are honored that the VCOG was selected to continue the tradition of battle-proven riflescopes that the Trijicon ACOG began in 2004 as the Marine Corps’ first Rifle Combat Optic,” said Stephen Bindon, Trijicon President & CEO.

Specifically designed for Close Quarter Battle and long distance marksmanship, the Trijicon VCOG 1-8×28 is forged from a nearly indestructible 7075-T6 aluminum housing and is waterproof to 66 feet. The first focal plane reticle allows subtensions and drops to remain true at any magnification. Featuring ruggedized electronics, the VCOG includes eleven user-selectable brightness settings, including two night vision settings. An integrated dial fin allows easy rotation through the magnification range, and a near-constant eye relief means no head or stock position adjustments are needed. An integrated mounting adapter eliminates the need for conventional ring mounts, allowing users to quickly and easily mount the VCOG to any rail system.

“We introduced VCOG 1-8×28 to the commercial market in early 2019, but its design was inspired by requests from our warfighters. During design, development, and testing, we constantly challenged ourselves to produce a scope that would deliver the performance necessary in the most punishing of conditions,” said Chuck Wahr, Trijicon’s Global Vice-President of Sales & Marketing.

There are just five days left to comment on the FAA’s Remote ID NPRM

Image result for Drone Pilot

If you are a drone pilot or operator you have just five day to tell the FAA how concerned you are about the Remote ID Regs. being proposed. For assistance in commenting on the proposed remote ID regulations click here.

As I mentioned in some of my earlier posts on this subject, there are a number of issues with the proposed regulations driving many industry leaders to express concerns. DJI, one such industry giant, has proposed a broadcast system to make available detailed drone information to the public and law enforcement. To address many of the issues, DJI has developed a software solution which the company calls Drone-to-Phone. The video below is a high level overview of the concept.

 

The app presents a map along with the current position of the drone, all of its identifying data, its track and the remote pilot’s location to anyone who has downloaded and installed the app on their smart device. This is a broadcast system, much like having a t.v. set and antenna, anyone can tune in and watch the broadcast.

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.

Bond Arms Rough Series Double-Barrel Handguns

Bond Arms Rough Series Double-Barrel Handguns

Granbury, TX (February 26, 2020) – Bond Arms is known for its outstanding fit and finish on every gun they build. To create a more affordable option for budget-conscious customers without compromising features, Bond Arms trimmed down its finishing process. The Rough Series was born and included the Roughneck, Rowdy, and the newest addition, the Grizzly double-barrel guns. The result is a handgun with the same outstanding qualities inherent in every Bond Arms’ gun without all the frills.

Each Rough Series gun undergoes a quick clean up and deburring to knock off the sharp edges. After the initial treatment, guns are bead blasted, giving them a rough finish. The parting lines in the metal frame and trigger guard add to the cool factor. Swirly tool marks on the barrels and tiny casting imperfections and rough areas add a unique individual character to these handguns. Built in a fraction of the time compared to standard production models, the reduced labor cost of the Rough Series guns translates into huge savings for the customer.

The Rough Series Handguns

Bond Rough Series handguns include premium features found in all their double-barreled guns, like stainless-steel barrels and frames, cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pins, spring-loaded cam-lock lever and rebounding hammer. Rough Series guns use the same grade of stainless steel as all production models.

The Roughneck is a new type of Bond Arms’ gun. It’s built with a 2.5′ barrel, chambered for 9mm, 357/38 or 45ACP, and features a blade

front sight and fixed rear sight. The compact handgun uses a textured rubber grip. The Roughneck works best with smooth lined holsters. $269

 

At 5 inches long, the Rowdy is the ‘big brother’ in the line, chambered for the powerful .45 Long Colt, and 2½-inch .410 bore shotshells. A blade front sight and fixed rear sight mount directly on its 3-inch barrels. A smooth lined holster works best. $299

The Grizzly features several upgrades from its Rowdy cousin. Vibrant rosewood grips engraved with grizzly bear artwork, the Bond Arms name and a checkered panel, add texture and character. The pistol includes a matching leather holster embossed with a grizzly bear. Its 3-inch barrels are chambered in .45 Long Colt, and 2½-inch .410 bore shotshells. $377

The Bond Arms Rough Series are compact and rugged handguns built with the same quality parts and materials as the other Bond Arms production models. The rough finish gives each pistol its unique charm.

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.

No Reason To Get Excited…

Friday is once more upon us and we all look forward to a relaxing weekend. There are a number of stressors that we’re having to deal with, but don’t run out and pay some jackass that studied psychology so her or she could understand themselves, $150+ per hour. Instead, stop fingering the iPhone, put it down and give Facebook and Twitter a rest. And as Paris’ mayoral candidate found out the hard way, don’t video tape yourself beating your meat and send it to a woman you’ve never met. So, let’s shoot the shit.

safe_image

A reader sent in a picture that I found inspirational – if only Santa were real. If you said to a therapist that you like this picture, he or she would likely say that you have a short penis complex. But, here’s what I see. I see a gal with a huge insecurity complex or a fruit and vegetable booster. What store asset protection employee would dare search this suspect. This brings back memory of San Francisco, possibly one of the most beautiful cities in the country, at least it used to be.

As most single San Francisco men and women know, the Safe Way Supermarket in the Marina District was the best spot in the City of San Francisco to get a date for the weekend. You did your shopping on a Friday evening and walk out of the place with a date for the weekend. The fresh fruit and vegetable section was usually very productive, but the entire store was rocking.

So, upon seeing this image from one of my readers, I was reminded of those great days and times.

Resized_20200216_115416_8566

2020 Mardi Gras Day was February 25 but Fat Tuesday was the last day of the Carnival season, which is the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. The most popular time to visit New Orleans is the extended weekend before Mardi Gras when you can catch parades. The picture captures some of New Orleans’ ladies “The Camel Toe Lady Steppers.” Watching camel toe is one of those things a therapist would consider symptomatic of a small penis complex. However, as our Cajun brothers and sisters know “Laissez les bons temps rouler.”

The Coronavirus mess appears to be heating up with cases popping up in the throughout the Middle East and EU, but as Jimmy Hendrix sang in his hit tune All Along The Watch Tower, “no reason to get excited; ” but just the same, NürnbergMesse GmbH, has postponed IWA OutdoorClassics 2020 and Enforce Tac / U.T.SEC 2020 to a future date to be announced. The reason given was the coronavirus.

Hopefully you had refundable travel reservations. The airlines should be no problem but where you may have a slight problem is with the hotels.

The problem with the coronavirus, is that clinicians and scientists have not been able to nail down the transmission mechanisms so they’re applying typical influenza procedures e.g. wash hand regularly, don’t touch your eyes with unwashed hands, etc. What makes matters even more difficult is that an asymptomatic individual can be virulent and readily transmit the virus. Infected individuals may exhibit simple cold like sniffles and coughing but still spread the virus. Unlike bacterial pathogens, a virus can’t be eliminated with a broad spectrum antibiotic, so typically, clinicians treat its symptoms and let the immune system deal with the virus. This is where a vaccine comes in like a dressed rehearsal for the immune system.

The Coronavirus attacks the respiratory system and the heart, so individuals with weak immune systems, like young children and the elderly are at risk. The mortality rate for the coronavirus is estimated to be 1 in 100. Also at risk are individuals with compromised immune systems e.g HIV/AIDS patients. Events like long flights and large international gatherings, like IWA, present a high risk. In general, any large contained group gatherings are very risky environments.

Remember that a shoot the shit is a freeform unstructured discussion of any subject of interest. Participants don’t need to know anything about the topic, they can make unsupported statements or claims, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject altogether.

Have a great weekend be safe and spend some quality time with your buds and family!

Galco Is Excited To Introduce The VHS 3.0 For The New Ruger-57 Pistol!

 

 

Galco’s original VHS™ (Vertical Holster System) was field-proven across the globe from Afghanistan to America. Thousands were used by US military personnel fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Countless others are in use by US and international law enforcement, being particularly popular among police helicopter pilots. The VHS also provides an alternative for those who want the concealment of Galco’s Miami Classic but prefer the traditional vertical carry style.

Refined and improved in 2019, the VHS 3.0 brings a reshaping/redesign of the harness straps, replacement of harness screws with a key-hole harness fastener attachment, and the addition of an innovative new tie-down system. It uses a four-point harness that pivots independently, connected by our clover-shaped, trademarked Flexalon™ swivel back plate. This, along with our patented swivel connectors, results in a perfect fit and lasting comfort for virtually all body sizes and shapes. 

The wide harness straps on the VHS 3.0 have been recontoured to enhance both comfort and concealment. It also features our improved key-hole harness fastener system that replaces the earlier screw-and-post system – resulting in greater security, ease of assembly, and greatly reduced chance of fastener loss. The VHS 3.0 also uses an improved tie-down system that is simple to use, compact and concealable, and fully ambidextrous.

The VHS 3.0 comes complete with vertical holster, harness, ammo carrier, tie-downs and a set of harness fasteners. Fully modular, optional accessories and components for the VHS 3.0 may be purchased separately. 

Whether you patrol the perilous sands of the Middle East, metropolitan America on the ground or from the air, exercise your Second Amendment right to bear arms, or stalk the hunting fields of the world, the VHS 3.0 will help you and your handgun stay secure in an often-dangerous world. 

The VHS 3.0 is ambidextrous and available in black or tan, at an MRSP of $259.

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.
