Innovative Forensic Exhibits at First-Ever Virtual ISHI Conference
The annual International Symposium on Human Identification will launch its first virtual conference and exhibit on Sept. 14, 2020.
Emporia, Va. (September 2020) – Innovative Forensic, an investigative genetic genealogy firm providing services to law enforcement, will exhibit at the first International Symposium on Human Identification (ISHI), launching Sept. 14, and running through Sept. 18, 2020. ISHI is the largest annual conference focusing on DNA forensics and presents the latest advances in DNA technology from all the top experts in this growing field.
As COVD-19 precautions and concerns for attendees and exhibitors for events across the country mount, many businesses and industries are turning to virtual conferences. These Internet-based events allow attendees from around the world to access virtual booths, network, and view presentations from their computers, tablets, and phones. Workshops provided by ISHI will be held live streaming for attendees.
“ISHI is a great way for us to connect with members of our industry, meet new people, and see what innovations are on the horizon,” Jennifer Moore, co-founder, CEO, and investigative genetic genealogist at Innovative Forensic, stated. “Although we wish we could be physically exhibiting at ISHI, the virtual exhibition has turned out to be a blessing. With all the new cases we are currently working on, we have expanded our team. All of our new members came with the key experience, ethical and legal backgrounds that we, as a company, have built our mission and foundation on. They were able to hit the ground running. We expect to have multiple announcements in the coming weeks.”
Innovative Forensic works with law enforcement agencies from the submission of a case through conclusion, whether it is a violent crime, cold case, a missing person, living identification, or unidentified decedent. The eleven-member team draws on years of experience in investigative genetic genealogy, legal, family and victim advocacy, and law enforcement.

INDRA STAYS IN THE FTSE4GOOD FOR THE FIFTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR AND ACHIEVES THE BEST SCORE IN GOOD GOVERNANCE AND ANTI-CORRUPTION
· The company ranks above the average in the companies in its sector, Computer Services, and its benchmark industry, Technology, in this prestigious global sustainability index
· Indra’s performance is considered to be best practice in corporate governance and anti-corruption measures, areas in which it has reinforced its commitment to sustainability, its culture of compliance and the mechanisms to eradicate any unethical or irregular behavior
· The fight against climate change, risk management and labor standards are other aspects in which Indra achieves an outstanding score, confirming the company’s commitment to its professionals and to sustainable development
Madrid, September 10, 2020.- Indra has been included for the fifth consecutive year in the FTSE4Good Index Series, one of the most prestigious sustainability indices in the world, designed to provide investors with information on companies that comply with best practices in terms of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) globally.
In order to stay in this index, Indra was independently assessed based on the public data offered in relation to more than 160 indicators and has met the demanding requirements that FTSE4Good imposes on its members, which demonstrate solid management of ESG risks.
Indra ranks as above the average among companies in its sector, Computer Services, and its benchmark industry, Technology. In addition, its performance in corporate governance and anti-corruption measures is considered “best practice”, as it achieved, as it did last year, the best possible rating. In terms of risk management, Indra significantly increased its rating.
The effort that Indra has made in recent years to strengthen its culture of compliance and to improve in all aspects related to sustainability has been key to achieving this result.
Last year, Indra created a Sustainability Committee in its Board of Directors, updated its Sustainability Policy and approved a new Sustainability Master Plan. In addition, it is working to integrate sustainability into its strategy and throughout the organization, with the promotion and close monitoring of a Sustainability Committee in which executives from different units of the company participate.
Indra has recently become the first Ibex 35 company to certify its Risk Management system with AENOR, in accordance with the ISO 31000 standard, and in 2019 it obtained the Criminal Compliance certificate for its Criminal Risk Prevention Model, among other advances.
Upholding labor standards and the fight against climate change are other areas in which Indra achieved outstanding scores and which confirm its commitment to its professional staff and sustainable development.
Thanks to the talent management policy and the cultural change that Indra is carrying out, supported by pillars such as diversity, flexibility, training and development of professionals and innovation, the FTSE4Good Index places Indra at one point from the highest score in labor standards.
In this respect, it should be noted that Indra was recognized as a Top Employer in 2019 and 2020 and is also one of the 15 Spanish companies included in the 2020 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, a benchmark index in diversity worldwide, which distinguishes companies around the world that stand out for their promotion of equality and for their transparency in information related to gender issues.
Key ally in the fight against climate change
Indra also achieved an excellent rating from the FTSE4Good for its contribution to the fight against climate change. Its corporate policies and commitments include emission reduction goals, the transparent annual publication of performance through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the approach to the proposals of the European working group on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD).
However, Indra’s role goes beyond this. As one of the main leading technology and consulting companies, it has products and services that are already playing a key role in global climate action, covering a broad spectrum that few corporations can achieve and with a strong impact on the major causes of climate change. In addition to combatting climate change and protecting people from it, with its technology it helps governments and companies also to become more sustainable.
Technologies that tackle climate change from space; that advance towards more environmentally friendly transport and infrastructure; solutions for smart, efficient and green management of energy and cities; that facilitate better use of resources through digital transformation – these are just some of what Indra has to offer when it comes to protecting the planet.
Compliance culture and anti-corruption measures
The highest rating obtained by Indra for the second consecutive year in corporate governance and anti-corruption in the FTSE4Good is the result of the work that the company has been doing since 2015 to strengthen its governance and regulatory compliance culture. Among many other actions, the Code of Ethics and Compliance and the Criminal Behavior Prevention Model have been reviewed and strengthened; the Compliance Unit and the Internal Audit function have been given greater independence and resources; punitive and disciplinary measures have been adopted when improper actions have been detected; and continuous monitoring is carried out by the Audit and Compliance Committee and the Board of Directors in this matter. This same year the Board approved a new Risk Prevention Manual in Competition Law to prevent anti-competitive practices.
In addition, Indra has promoted knowledge of and respect for the law and its Code of Ethics and Legal Compliance among employees to eradicate any unethical or irregular behavior. It has also promoted the use of the Direct Channel, which it makes available to them so that they can raise questions about the interpretation and application of the Code, as well as to report any irregularity or infraction.
Global leader in sustainability
Indra’s permanence in the FTSE4Good Index and the good results achieved constitute recognition of Indra’s commitment to sustainability and continuous improvement, as well as to the company’s strategy and policies in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility, integrated throughout the organization and aligned with its lines of business and objectives.
The FTSE4Good set of equity indices, created by FTSE Russell, includes companies that are proven leaders in their environmental, social and governance practices. Their criteria are developed from an extensive process of consultation with the market and are updated annually. They are based exclusively on public data, which contributes to greater credibility and transparency. A wide range of stakeholders helps define admission criteria, including NGOs, government agencies, consultants, academics, the investment community, and the business sector.
About Indra
Indra (www.indracompany.com) is one of the leading global technology and consulting companies and the technological partner for core business operations of its customers world-wide. It is a world-leader in providing proprietary solutions in specific segments in Transport and Defence markets, and a leading firm in Digital Transformation Consultancy and Information Technologies in Spain and Latin America through its affiliate Minsait. Its business model is based on a comprehensive range of proprietary products, with a high-value focus and with a high innovation component.

Suppressor Sales On Track For Record Year
This Election, ASA has the Winning Ticket!
As our nation gets ready to head to the polls, the American Suppressor Association remains hard at work protecting and expanding your suppressor rights!
We’ve quietly put together 5 suppressed prizes we know you’ll be interested in! Stay tuned for a full announcement on September 14th.
Suppressor Sales On Track For Record Year
You’ve been to the gun counter and seen the empty walls, display cases, and ammo shelves. In terms of driving forces, if the election is the main course we have a giant helping of pandemic and civil unrest on the side.
It’s the perfect trifecta for record FBI NICS checks and suppressor transfers are tracking right along with them. The good news: transfer times are creeping down even though there are record numbers of Form 4’s being submitted.
Based on industry data collected by ASA, 2020 will likely eclipse the previous record set in 2016 following the announcement that ATF 41F would be implemented in July of that year. During the first half of 2016 ATF received over 276,000 tax-paid applications (Form 1 & Form 4). Time will tell if our predictions are correct, but we wouldn’t be surprised if tax-paid applications eclipsed the 312k forms received for all of 2016!

Springfield Armory® Introduces XD-M® Elite 3.8" Compact – Springfield Armory
GENESEO, ILL. (9/8/20) – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the newest addition to the popular XD-M® Elite series — the XD-M® Elite 3.8″ Compact. This EDC-ready 9mm, like all the XD-M Elites, redefines what you should expect from modern, striker-fired firearms.
The XD-M® Elite 3.8″ Compact is designed for concealed carry, combining impressive capacity and performance with concealable dimensions for ease of carry. The 3.8″ match grade Melonite® finished barrel maximizes ballistic performance while remaining compact for concealability, and the compact grip frame houses a double-column stainless steel magazine that provides 14+1 capacity in the two included magazines.
To facilitate quick reloads, the XD-M® Elite 3.8″ Compact also features a removable extended and flared “short” magwell. An additional benefit of the removable magwell is that you can quickly convert the pistol from a compact to a full-size frame with a 19+1 capacity. This is accomplished by simply removing the magwell and employing optional full-size XD-M magazines with compatible magazine sleeves.
At the heart of the pistol is the Match Enhanced Trigger Assembly (META™) system, a superbly refined trigger designed to wring out the most from the pistol’s most important interface with the shooter. Featuring a flat face and integral overtravel stop, the META™ system delivers the finest trigger pull available on a production polymer-framed pistol.
The XD-M® Elite 3.8″ Compact includes an ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release, ensuring that it can be run easily by either hand. Additionally, improved slide serrations with enlarged grasping grooves provide enhanced ergonomics and slip-free purchase. Topping off its forged steel slide is Springfield Armory’s excellent Tactical Rack U-Dot™ rear sight. It features a u-shaped white outline and works in concert with the high-visibility fiber optic front sight.
“This newest addition to the XD-M® Elite line of pistols gives shooters and concealed carry users a great option for EDC,” says Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “Features like the META™ trigger, fully ambidextrous controls and a funneled, removable magwell make the XD-M® Elite 3.8″ Compact a must-have for CCW.”
If you need a capable and powerful 9mm pistol that combines ultra-refined performance with concealable dimensions, then look no further than the new XD-M® Elite 3.8″ Compact.

The 9mm FMJ (not plated) S&M Ammunition total cartridge weighs 115 grains and is available in a box of 50 rounds for $19.00. The rounds are currently out of stock on S&M Ammunition’s website due to shortages caused by COVID-19 but expect to be back in stock shortly.
“We are excited to be offering ammunition using Shell Shock Technologies’ cases and look forward to increasing our ammunition line with other calibers in the future”, said Jay Slaughter, co-founder of S&M Ammunition.
“We are truly excited and proud to have our groundbreaking NAS3 casings be a part of S&M Ammunition’s line up,” said Craig Knight, CEO of Shell Shock Technologies.
About Shell Shock Technologies NAS3 Cases:
NAS3 9mm 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) and are fully reloadable (using S3 Reload dies) and can be reloaded many more times than brass cases. NAS3 cases have been tested successfully by customers to pressures over 70k psi. 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.

Surefire Introduces The XSC Rechargeable 350 Lumen Weaponlight For Your Micro-Compact Handgun
Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce the release of the all-new XSC family of micro-compact handgun weaponlights.
We all know violent crime happens at night, and yet a premium-grade weaponlight for the best concealment guns on the market didn’t exist. Until now. Extremely compact and virtually indestructible, the new rechargeable SureFire XSC family delivers intense white light, allowing you to face the dark with confidence. Its micro-footprint doesn’t hamper concealability, so you’ll have it with you when you need it most.
There are three models in the lineup, each precisely engineered and purpose-built for a seamless & secure fit to each host handgun. The XSC-A is made for the Glock 43X & 48 with accessory rail, the XSC-P365 is for the SIG SAUER P365 & P365 XL and the XSC-HELLCAT is for the Springfield Armory Hellcat line of handguns. Less than 2 inches long and weighing under 2 ounces, the XSC provides an immense force multiplier to each host handgun with no compromise in concealability.
Intuitive, ambidextrous switching provides ease of momentary-or constant-on activation with one or two hands. The XSC’s premium LED delivers 350 lumens of intense white light via a parabolic reflector, creating a concentrated hot-spot with significant throw and surrounding spill. Made from rugged aerospace aluminum, the body is Mil-Spec hard anodized for scratch and corrosion resistance. The XSC is gasket sealed for weatherproof and waterproof reliability, and it is IPX7-rated.
The XSC is rechargeable via a quick-detach lithium polymer battery, and can be changed without removing the XSC from the host pistol. The battery charger is included with purchase, and it is capable of charging two batteries simultaneously. Each battery features a LED fuel gauge that displays charge level with the press of a button. If you’re serious about personal protection, there’s no excuse. The XSC is your only option.

Bond Arms: Made in Texas, By Texans
Custom-quality manufacturing makes for best double-barrel pistols available for concealed carry and cowboy action shooting.
Grandbury, TX (September 8, 2020) – Just 35 miles from the sprawl of Fort Worth, Granbury, Texas is home to 8,000 residents. Granbury is a small town full of American pride and faith, exactly what makes this nation great. Perhaps it’s only fitting that in this town, some of the best, most compact handguns designed for concealed carry are also made. This is where Bond Arms calls home, founded in 1995 by Greg Bond, brother of current company owner Gordon Bond.
In building what would become the best modern double barrel available, Bond completely redesigned every aspect of the model starting with the frame, formed from lost wax stainless castings, which offer superior strength and durability shot after shot. Other design enhancements from the original double barrel design include changing the safety so it can be manipulated from left to right in order to allow the right-hand thumb to adjust the safety to fire. Their double-barrel pistols feature a rebounding hammer design and a wider hammer that allows for smoother, faster cocking.
Today, Bond Arms has grown into the leader of the double barrel industry, particularly where new product development is concerned. These guns are made from high-quality, stainless steel and other heavy-duty, top-grade materials. All Bond firearms are put through the strictest manufacturing processes to ensure a quality product with every single double barrel.
“We’re one of the few manufacturers that still builds exclusively in the U.S. and uses American-made parts for all of our handguns,” says Gordon Bond, owner of Bond Arms. “We like to say, ‘100 percent Texas Made.’ Even our grips and holsters are made in the U.S.A.”
Some of the most popular models offered by Bond Arms include the Texas Defender, Cowboy Defender, Snake Slayer, and Snake Slayer IV, the Ranger and Ranger II, the USA Defender, the Mini 45 and the Girl Mini. Bond Arms’ double barrels have not only become a top choice among serious concealed carry adherents but also are very popular on the cowboy action shooting circuit, where the spirit of the old West is celebrated and lives on in Bond Arms’ handguns.
Bond Arms not only makes the top double barrels available today, but they also make and offer a full line of accessories for their handguns. These accessories include holsters, carry cases and extended grips.
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.

Brownells Donates $50K to CRPA for Standard Capacity Magazine Fight
Brownells Donates $50K to CRPA for Standard Capacity Magazine Fight
GRINNELL, Iowa (September 8, 2020) – Brownells is donating $50,000 to the California Rifle & Pistol Association to help fund the fight to restore freedom and standard-capacity magazines to California gun owners.
In August, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit upheld a previous decision against California’s ban on magazines in the Duncan v. Becerra case. The panel determined a ban on magazines with capacity of over 10 rounds violates the 2nd Amendment rights of Californians.
In an effort to delay striking down California’s draconian magazine ban, the California Attorney General’s office petitioned for an en banc review of panel’s ruling, extending the struggle for California gun owners to regain their Constitutionally-guaranteed rights.
To help see that struggle through to a victorious finish, Brownells is contributing $50,000 for CRPA’s efforts to the cause.
“The California Rifle & Pistol Association Foundation is proud of the partnership with Brownells to fight for the rights of all Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights,” said CRPA Foundation Director of Development Rick Travis. “Brownells’ generous donation will be used 100% in the fight to see the Duncan v. Becerra case to a successful conclusion in restoring the Second Amendment in California.”
If the rulings against California’s magazine ban are upheld, they could serve as precedent in similar decisions against other similar bans enacted by anti-gun politicians in other states.
About CRPA
The California Rifle & Pistol Association (CRPA), founded in 1875, is a nonprofit membership and donor supported organization that works tirelessly and relentlessly to defend the civil and constitutional rights of individuals to choose to responsibly own and use firearms. Through its Sacramento and local legal and political advocates, CRPA works in the state capital, in regulatory agencies, and in city halls throughout California to promote laws that protect these rights, and to oppose laws that infringe on these rights.

NSSF, Project ChildSafe Support Suicide Prevention Month with Resources for All Gun Owners
NEWTOWN, Conn. – As suicide prevention groups mark Suicide Prevention Month by calling for prevention to become a national priority during the COVID-19 pandemic, the firearm industry is supporting that effort by educating the public – particularly the gun-owning community, including veterans and their families – on how storing firearms responsibly and simply talking to loved ones can mean the difference between a life saved and a tragedy.
“It is a fact that suicide is preventable, and securing firearms is one of the most important steps gun owners can take to protect those at risk of suicide,” said Joe Bartozzi, National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) President and CEO.
NSSF, the firearm industry trade association, has partnered with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) since 2016. Recognizing that nearly two-thirds of all firearms deaths are suicides and that half of all suicides in the U.S. are by firearm, NSSF took action by partnering with experts in the suicide prevention field. Around the same time, AFSP launched “Project 2025,” which seeks to reduce the rate of suicide by focusing on primary care settings, emergency departments, the gun owning community and correction systems.
As COVID-19 continues to elevate levels of stress, anxiety and uncertainty, NSSF is also marking Suicide Prevention Month by sharing educational resources for gun owners and veterans:
-
Through Project ChildSafe®, its firearm safety educational program, NSSF has partnered with former US Army infantryman Omar Avila, who was awarded the Purple Heart and Combat Infantry Badge for his service during the Iraq War in 2004. As a motivational storyteller, Paralympic powerlifter and hunting enthusiast, Avila is a prominent figure in the veteran community with more than 300,000 followers on Instagram. During Suicide Prevention Month, Project ChildSafe will “take over” Avila’s Instagram story to share firearm safety tips and resources directly with veterans and their supporters.
-
NSSF and AFSP partnered with the U.S Veterans Administration and the U.S. Concealed Carry Association in a groundbreaking cooperative effort to produce a webinar on “Protecting Mental Health and Preventing Suicide During COVID-19.” The public is also encouraged to read this recent blog post from AFSP on taking care of one’s mental health during times of uncertainty.
-
Also for veterans and their families, NSSF has a new resource for military families with tips on how to have this conversation and with suggestions for firearm storage options.
-
NSSF and AFSP have created a Firearms and Suicide Prevention Brochure to help all gun owners better understand the risk factors of suicide and what prevention steps they can take. Given the importance of secure storage, gun owners can also review NSSF’s infographic on Safe Storage Options to Suit Your Lifestyle.
-
NSSF and AFSP have also created a Suicide Prevention Toolkit to help firearm retailers, shooting ranges and gun owners nationwide understand risk factors and warning signs related to suicide, know where to find help and encourage secure firearm storage. Central to all the advice is how to “Have a Brave Conversation.”
-
In the coming weeks, NSSF and AFSP will roll out a series of additional new resources on suicide prevention, specifically for parents.
“In addition to storing firearms securely, we’ve learned one of the most important things anyone can do if they’re worried about a friend or loved one is to talk to them,” Bartozzi says. “It’s okay to have a brave conversation and ask them directly about suicide. The experts tell us that asking about it won’t put the idea in their head, or cause them to act. In most cases, they’ll feel relieved someone cares enough about them to bring it up.”
Anyone experiencing a crisis, or concerned about the safety of a friend or loved one, is urged to contact any of the following resources:
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Call 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255)
Veterans Crisis Line: Call 1-800-273-8255 and press “1”.
Lifeline Chat: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/chat/
Crisis Text Line: Text TALK to 741741
About Project ChildSafe
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association of the firearms industry, launched Project ChildSafe in 1999 (originally as Project HomeSafe). Since then, the program has provided more than 38 million free firearm safety kits and gun locks to firearm owners in all 50 states through partnerships with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. That’s in addition to the more than 70 million free locking devices manufacturers have included, and continue to include, with new firearms sold since 1998. While helping to prevent accidents among children is a focus, Project ChildSafe is intended to help adults practice greater firearm safety in the home. More information is available at projectchildsafe.org.
About NSSF
NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

Ulfhednar Tripod Accessories: The Ultimate in a Secure Shooting Platform
Kløfta, Norway (September 3, 2020) – Serious long-range shooters that fire from the standing, sitting and kneeling positions discovered the value of locking their rifle on target using a heavy-duty tripod combined with a clamp that provides a rock-solid, wiggle-free rest. This is where the new Ulfhednar “Deadlock” Clamp stands out. Standard 1/4-20 & 3/8-16 threads allow direct mounting on most standard tripods or ball heads — including Ulfhednar’s state-of-the-art Tripod HD 40. The ruggedness and versatility of this combination stand above the crowd – even in a strong wind.
The Deadlock is quick to maneuver, and grips from both sides, with rubber grips that also provide protection and help absorb vibration. The large adjustment knob makes it easy to adjust with one hand. Made from 7075 T651 aluminum, with a black MIL-A-8625 Type III hard coat anodized surface, the dimensions are 95x95x60 mm (3.75 x 3.75 x 2.35 inches); the knob adds 25 mm, or .98-inch). Weight is 500 grams (17.64 oz.) It comes with a small Ulfhednar storage pouch with Molle on the back for easy transportation. MSRP is $420.02.
For rifles with a Picatinny rail, the Ulfhednar “Loke” adapter is the company’s signature product. Named for the god Loki in Norse mythology — a cunning trickster who could change his shape — the Loke adapter is a Picatinny / Arca adapter with Atlas PSR footprint. It fits right on the Atlas PSR two-foot and allows seamless foot-to-back movement along the Arca rail on all sport rifles. The fast and reliable adjustment knob makes it easy to slide the clamp back and forth. It’s made from 7075 T651 aluminum, comes in a black MIL-A-8625 Type III Hard Coat Anodized surface, and weighs just 70 grams (2.47 oz.) MSRP is $152.12.

This higher-grade American Black Walnut exhibits more streaking, fancy figure, and fiddleback on both sides of the stock than standard or fancy walnut versions.

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.

It’s High Noon on a new Cimarron Originals with Mike Harvey
Mike Harvey, founder of Cimarron Firearms, sets the record straight on what makes Cimarron Firearms different.
Fredericksburg, Texas (August 2020) – Cimarron Firearms, recognized as the leader in quality and authenticity in Old West replica firearms, continue their fan-favorite video series “Cimarron Originals with Mike Harvey” with a twist. The sixth in an on-going series of videos on YouTube aims to set the record straight in regards to the significant role Mike Harvey and Cimarron have played in the cartridge firearm replica market.
In response to many articles Harvey has read within the firearms industry that reference Old West replicas, Cimarron and the competition, Harvey takes issue with “fake gun news” and during this new video, in his casual story-telling way, furnishes a behind-the-scenes look at how replica guns are really made.
When Mike Harvey started in the importation of the replica business, he found a real lack of craftsmanship in the products. He explains that early American firearms, from the 1800s, were finely crafted – by hand – using dozens of different files and tools to create a superior fit and finish, including much of the engraving. These early models of Colts and Winchester Harvey says were made by “artists.” What had been lost in the centuries after with the arrival of machinery and technology was the attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Not to be deterred in working with the Italian companies producing Old West replicas, Harvey brought a 1st Gen original Colt to Aldo Uberti, a gun that Mr. Uberti, until then, had never had in his possession to work from. Harvey worked with the Uberti team to develop the first Cimarron version of the Colt Cavalry model. The relationship between Cimarron and Uberti went far beyond manufacturer and distributor. Both companies partnered to bring significant changes to the replica market to produce replicas that were almost indistinguishable from the originals. Along the way, Harvey also decided that, unlike the competition, he would have all the internals made in the USA and supplied by Cimarron to their specifications for the replicas. As a result, the Cimarron replicas function smoothly without the stiffness or clunkiness found in other replicas. Most all of the Uberti replicas produced have been through the expertise and guidance of Mike Harvey and his unique collection of original Old West firearms.
Mike Harvey’s smooth storytelling continues with fond memories of his relationship with Aldo Uberti and Pietro, who continues his father’s legacy. Cimarron Firearms is proud to own the Aldo Uberti Museum of Firearms, of which many unique guns were hand-made by the master Uberti himself.
In our culture of sound bites and rapid news assessment, Mike Harvey reminds us that much of our history and culture is still a living culture. In his easy manner and slow Texas drawl, Mike Harvey extols the heroes, dreamers, and darers that built our country and puts the legend in many of these classic American firearms. The “real news” of American Western firearms is just a video or phone call away.

The Joy of Eating…
Did someone say it was Friday? Yes it is and we’ve made it through another insane week; be thankful your not living in Portland. In all honesty, I’m having a difficult time deciding on who the worst Mayor in the United States is: Ted Wheeler of Portland, OR or Bill De Blasio of NYC, NY. Wheeler, a Harvard graduate had his ass chased out of his personnel condominium by a mob. He’s part of the political aristocracy who are largely inept. An invading force would not need to establish a beach head on the west cost, they can just fly in to Portland and Wheeler would turn over the keys. Makes you fell secure doesn’t it. What this guy has done is throw the community that he’s sworn to protect under the bus and has the audacity to blame it on the President. Laughable!
Man, I’m starting to sound like I need therapy but I refuse to pay a jackass who studied psychology so they could understand themselves $150+ per hour to do what I can do for free with a good shoot the shit. For those new to the site, a shoot the shit is a social interacting during which any topic can be discussed. Participant don’t need to know anything about the subject, they are free to make any unsupported statement, use uncensured profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject altogether. Shoot the shits can be organized with any number of people and work even better when you’ve got some great chow.
So, just in time for Labor Day and because who the hell wants to go to a restaurant I share with you possibly the best rice dish on the planet. It is called Paella (pronounced Pa ey ya) if you call it pa el la, people will know you’re an impostor and expel your ass from the shoot the shit.
This dish folks is delicious, it is classical Spanish cuisine (not Mexican) recognized along with French cuisine as the best in the world. It takes a little bit of time to cook but worth the effort. There are numerous renditions but the authentic Paella if from the Valencia region of Spain, there’s also a version from Barcelona equally as good but with differences.
The first thing you’ll need is the appropriate pan, I like a copper clad pan because copper distributes heat evenly and efficiently, cast iron is great as well.
Your looking at about a 2 hour project including preparation.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ a whole chicken (roughly 4 pounds), cut into 6 pieces (keeping bone)
- ½ a whole rabbit (roughly 2 pounds), cut into same size pieces as the chicken
- 1 head of garlic, with cloves separated and peeled
- 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 can of butter beans
- 10 ounces (285g) frozen green peas
- 10 ounces (285g) frozen green beans
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- salt, to taste
- 1 pinch saffron
- 4 bay leaves
- 4 cups Bomba rice
Preparation
- Heat a paella pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Swirl to coat the entire base of the pan.
- Add the garlic, chicken, and rabbit and fry until browned.
- Push the meat away from the center of the pan, and add the tomatoes, butter beans, peas, and green beans. Season with the paprika and mix to combine.
- Using a measuring cup, add enough water to fill the paella pan almost to the top. Record how much water you needed, this will let you know how much rice to use later on. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Keep simmering for 45 mins to an hour, to make a broth.
- Once the broth is formed, add a few generous pinches of salt. Also add the saffron and bay leaves. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Stir until the broth becomes a vivid orangey-yellow color. If the color doesn’t seem intense enough, add a bit more paprika and another strand of saffron.
- Now it’s time for the rice! Add half as much rice as you did water to make the broth. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook until all of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. You’ll know when the rice is ready and the broth is gone, as you will hear a faint ticking/cracking coming from the bottom layer of rice.
- Serve immediately, straight from the pan. If it’s done well, the paella should have a healthy socarrat, the crispy, blackened layer of rice at the bottom!
The finished product should look like this…
Notes:
- The Bomba (that’s its name) is important to achieve authenticity.
- If you want to get creative you can add some shrimp to enhance the presentation
- Top it all off with a nice Ribera del Duero red wine.
- I have just turned you on to some of the best eating since you and your partner found some quiet time together.
Alright readers, enjoy a great Labor Day shoot the shit with your friends or family and do try the Paella Valenciana.
HENSOLDT further develops its self-protection system MUSS
MUSS 2.0 will be available for the second lot of the PUMA. (Photo: PSM.)
Taufkirchen, Germany, 02 September 2020 – “We have fundamentally revised and repositioned our technology,” explained Dr Oliver Rudow, Head of Business Line Countermeasures & Ground Protection Systems. The Multifunctional Self-Protection System (MUSS) is a soft kill-based active protection system (APS). It offers infantry fighting vehicles and main battle tanks efficient protection against enemy laser and armor-piercing threats. These can be effectively countered by warning sensors that detect the threat from missiles or lasers and initiate appropriate countermeasures. The MUSS self-protection system is already in series production and has so far been delivered more than 350 times.
The improvements include a new laser detector that covers all modern laser threats. MUSS 2.0 now offers improved and extended sensor technology, significantly improved software and modern countermeasures. MUSS is being further developed into a layered system and offers modern interfaces, which, among other things, enable the integration of a hard kill effector. “In addition, MUSS 2.0 will be even smaller and lighter than before”, said Dr Oliver Rudow.
“Our MUSS is a popular solution in Germany, but we are also in discussion with armed forces in a number of other regions,” says Franck Friedlander, Sales Director Self-Protection at HENSOLDT. “In order to achieve our ambitious goals, we are expanding our highly qualified team across locations.” The new system will be available for the upcoming second lot of PUMA and similar platforms.

Trijicon Unveils RMR cc – A Reliable and Rugged Miniature Reflex for Concealed Carry
Wixom, MI – New for 2020, Trijicon, an industry leader in miniature reflex optics, has set a new standard for pistol optics with the introduction of the RMR®cc. Born from the legendary Trijicon RMR®, the thinner, lower profile RMRcc provides fast, both-eyes-open target acquisition, accurate aiming, and proven reliability for concealed carry pistols, and is a great addition to the extensive line of durable reflex optics offered by Trijicon.
Weighing a mere 1 ounce with battery installed and measuring less than 1 inch in width and height, the RMRcc is ready to pair with any pistol to provide the ultimate concealed carry setup. The RMRcc is constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum, tested to Military Standards and backed by The Science of Brilliant® testing methodology that Trijicon applies to every product. Its patented shape absorbs impacts and diverts stresses away from the lens and is designed to withstand the rigors of hard use under the most severe environmental conditions.
“Trijicon is proud to offer pistol owners an optic designed around their needs and built to Trijicon’s standards for durability,” said Chuck Wahr, Global Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Trijicon. “Users can have confidence in carrying a pistol equipped with the RMRcc.”
The RMRcc keeps all the great features of the RMR, including easy-to-use buttons, a common 2032 battery with up to 4 years of illumination, and a wide variety of mounts to fit today’s most popular concealed carry pistols. The RMRcc is available in either a 3.25 or 6.5 MOA dot size and provides a bright, illuminated aiming point under any condition. Best of all, the RMRcc is parallax-free, meaning simple “point and shoot” operation with superior accuracy.
The RMRcc is designed to be thinner than the RMR, making it ideal for mounting on popular single stack and subcompact pistols. The RMRcc is also well suited to mount to 1911 style pistols, and durable enough to stand up to the harsh recoil generated by the .45 ACP and 10 mm.
For the ultimate in confidence, the RMRcc features an automatic brightness mode and 8 manual positions for custom settings. A Button Lock-In Mode prevents accidental adjustments to your preferred brightness setting, while a Battery Conservation Mode adjusts the aiming dot to ambient lighting conditions after 16.5 hours without a button push to further extend battery life. Windage and elevation adjustments allow for quick and easy zeroing with no need for any special tools or devices.
For more information on the new Trijicon RMR®cc, the extensive line of pistol reflex optics including the RMR® and SRO®, and the complete array of Brilliant Aiming Solutions™ for the hunting, shooting, military, and law enforcement markets, contact Trijicon®, Inc. at (248) 960-7700 or visit Trijicon.com.
