Visit EAA Corp at the 2020 SHOT Show, Booth No. 12271

EAA’s new Commander-sized 1911-style pistols have features, options, and performance similar to the more expensive versions, with money to spare for accessories or ammo.

Cocoa, Fla. (December 2019) – European American Armory Corporation (EAA Corp.), importers of select quality and affordable handguns, rifles, and shotguns, have taken the popular 1911 Commander-style pistol and put their stamp of excellence and affordability on their new Girsan MC1911C and C-TV pistols in .45 ACP and now 9mm.

The 1911 pistol-style is one of the most sought-after models for everyday carry and competition and the new MC1911C and C-TV pistols will not disappoint. The fully-machined steel frame and slide are offered in three finishes: Blue/Black, Two-Tone, and a Dark Earth finish. The pistols feature a checkered frame grip front and back for added grip confidence. An accessory rail in front of the trigger guard allows for lights and lasers. Many of the features on these pistols are typically found on more expensive competition pistols, but come standard on the MC1911C and C-TV, such as a Novak® style rear sight, an extended beavertail with checkering, a long-hole hammer, slide serrations, and a skeletonized trigger. An option for a Dot Carry Optic instead of the Novak sight is available on the MC1911C-TV.

The new Girsan MC1911C and C-TV pistols not only look great but are outstanding performers. A clean, crisp trigger pull generally comes in at around 3.5 to 4 lbs.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

Image result for merry christmas gif

We’ll be shutting down the presses to spend some time enjoying the Holy Season, but before we do that I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our readers and industry partners who make our product reviews possible. They represent the very best this great industry has to offer, who keep producing quality innovative products year after year. Innovation is hard and expensive so we fully support intellectual property rights and their protection and we won’t review or endorse knockoffs; believe me, we are asked to do that all too often. We wholeheartedly recommend our industry partners to our readers and consumers looking for quality products of excellent value, design and backed by exceptional customer service.

From our families to yours, may your Holiday Season be an exceptional one and may 2020 bring you great opportunities and their commensurate prosperity.

This will also be my last shoot the shit for 2019. Remember that a shoot the shit is a social interaction in which participants don’t need to know anything about the subject being discussed, they are free to make unsupported comments, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject altogether. Shoot the shits accomplish two important things, for a moment they separate you from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram allowing you to have human interaction; lastly, it will keep you from paying $150+ per hour to a jackass who studied psychology so they could understand themselves. Can you imagine sitting in front of someone like Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to explain why you like chicks in thongs. OK here we go.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to fire the Russian Dragunov SVD. If you’re not familiar with the SVD it’s the standard issue Designated Marksman and Sniper Rifle, chambered in the 7.62X54R cartridge. It’s a great damned rifle and I’d love to own one but at $10,000 + per copy I’ll have to be satisfied with just looking at one.

Dragunov SVD

Anyway, Russian military units will soon surrender their Dragunov SVDs for the new Chukavin SVCh. The new DMR / Sniper rifle is manufactured by the Kalashnikov Group and was introduce at Russia’s 2017 Army Exhibition. The Spetsnaz and some of the other special Russian units have been using the new rifle and contributing to perfecting the design. The Russian government plans to rollout the new rifle for export and general military use 2020 – 2021.

The SVCh is chambered in 7.62x54R, 7.62×51 and the 338 Lapua Magnum, so take your choice. The rifle is fed from a Dragunov SVD 10-round box magazine, has an overall length of 1,000 mm, a barrel length of 410 mm, a weight of 4.3 kg (with empty magazine) and an accuracy of no more than 1 MOA at 100m. The barrel can be replaced with a longer versions of 460 mm or 565 mm as desired. The SVCh in 7.62×51 mm has the same specifications and is fed from a 20-round box magazine.

Image result for chukavin sniper rifle

Some of the more interesting features, at least to me, are the full length Picatinny rail, AR style ambidextrous safety selector, the generous use of M-LOK attachment points along the handguard. Other features worthy of mention are the folding stock adjustable for length of pull and cheek height . So, this is no rehash of the AK or Cold War Dragunov.

The rifle’s operating system is a gas-operated short-stroke piston with rotating bolt that’s fitted with a manual gas regulator.

Kalashnikov Group feels that their Chukavin:

“meets the requirements to the best world`s DMRs, for instance, the M110 SASS (Semi-Automatic Sniper System) by the US Knight Armament Company (KAC) in terms of dimensions, magazine capacity and accuracy.”

I’ve shot the KAC M110 SASS and it is an extremely accurate rifle, so Kalashnikov’s claim is worthy of a side by side comparison. We’ll see…

In this video President Putin may have gotten a bite from that Schmidt & Bender optic on his first shot. What do you think?

Readers, have a wonderful Christmas, give your iPhone a break and in its place schedule a shoot the shit with your buds and family.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

SIG SAUER Introduces CROSS Rifle

SIG SAUER Introduces CROSS Rifle: The First SIG SAUER Precision Bolt-Action Hunting Rifle Manufactured in the USA

NEWINGTON, N.H., (December 18, 2019) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is pleased to introduce the CROSS Rifle.  The first SIG-built precision bolt-action hunting rifle is designed by SIG SAUER engineers, completely manufactured and machined at the SIG SAUER facilities in New Hampshire, and tested by premier competitive shooters, the world’s best long range shooters, and a team of professional hunters that the CROSS is built for.    

“When our product management team and engineers researched developing a bolt-action rifle, they looked at what was missing from the market, and what new innovation SIG could bring to hunters and precision shooters,” began Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales.  “Hunting rifles are typically focused on less weight, and accuracy is secondary.  Precision rifles are designed for extreme accuracy, with no weight limitations.  What was missing from the market was a true crossover.  Our product management team and engineers took the best of both worlds and developed the CROSS featuring the characteristics of a hunting rifle, with the accuracy of a precision rifle.” 

The CROSS Precision Bolt-Action Hunting Rifle is a lightweight precision rifle with a push button, foldable SIG precision stock, a one-piece aluminum receiver that eliminates the need for bedding the action, and AI magazines for creating the most accurate precision hunting platform. The CROSS features a stainless-steel rifled barrel with a free-float M-LOK handguard, a 2-stage match-grade trigger externally adjustable from 2.5 – 4 lbs., ambi-safety, a three-lug bolt design with a 60-degree throw and interchangeable bolt handle.  The precision stock is spring-loaded for one handed operation and can be fully adjusted in the field for length of pull and comb height with no tools.  The rifle has a full-length replaceable picatinny rail that allows for direct optics mounts, 20 MOA, and O MOA.  The CROSS is available in 6.5 Creedmoor, 308 WIN, and the soon-to-be-released 277 SIG Fury Hybrid Ammunition with a black anodized or First Lite camo finish.

“Right out of the box the CROSS comes loaded with new innovation and features that hunters and precision shooters will appreciate at a very affordable $1,779.00 MSRP price point,” continued Taylor.  “The CROSS delivers on all fronts, and we are especially proud that everything about the CROSS from concept to completion is 100% SIG SAUER and comes directly from our U.S. operations here in New Hampshire.”

CROSS Bolt-Action Rifle Specs (6.5 Creedmoor):

  • Overall Length: 35.5””
  • Folded Length: 27.0”
  • Barrel Length: 18”
  • Barrel Twist: 1:8

NSSF Honors Fallen Officers with $25,000 Fraternal Order of Police Donation

NSSF The Firearms Industry Trade Association

 


WASHINGTON, D.C.
— The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the firearms industry trade association, is honoring the nation’s fallen law enforcement officers by contributing $25,000 to the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Foundation. The donation was delivered to FOP National President Patrick Yoes at NSSF’s Washington D.C. office.

“The firearms industry proudly stands law enforcement and the brave men and women in blue across this great nation who every day don the uniform and uphold their oaths by putting their lives on the line to serve and protect our citizens,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President for Government Relations and Public Affairs and General Counsel. “Our industry is intrinsically tied to our police officers and for many like myself those roots run deep. As a former prosecutor and son of a New York City policeman, I am deeply grateful to represent our industry’s contribution to this worthy cause.”

The ongoing professional relationship between law enforcement and NSSF members extends well beyond the purchasing of firearms, ammunition and related products. NSSF enjoys longstanding relationships with law enforcement agencies to bring Real SolutionsSM that make communities safer. This partnership addresses the criminal misuse of firearms and the responsible ownership and storage of firearms.

The firearms industry, through NSSF’s partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, administers the straw-purchase prevention campaign “Don’t Lie for the Other GuyTM”, that has both retailer education and public awareness components to educate federal firearms licensees of the warning signs of someone attempting to purchase a firearm for someone who may be prohibited from possessing firearms and educating the public of the consequences of a $250,000 fine and 10-year prison sentence for committing the felony crime of lying on the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) form. NSSF and the ATF extend this partnership through Operation Secure Store® that educates firearms retailers on measures they can take to prevent the theft and burglary of firearms. One particular component of that program NSSF’s commitment to matching rewards ATF rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in thefts from firearms retailers.

Project ChildSafe® supplies police departments with firearm safety kits for distribution in their communities. More than 38 million kits, which include a free firearm lock, have been handed out through 15,000 law enforcement organizations. Most recently, NSSF brought this effort to Texas at the request of Gov. Greg Abbott to distribute more than a half-million locks through with the assistance of a state grant of $1 million.

Firearms manufacturers have long recognized the importance of giving back to the law enforcement community — a community that is an important and growing segment of the firearms industry market. The law enforcement segment of the NSSF-owned and sponsored Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) ShowSM represents 28 percent of the show’s floor space at nearly 180,000 square feet. If the segment were broken out as a stand-alone show, it would be the largest law enforcement show in the country.

About NSSF

The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the trade association for the firearms 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.

Shell Shock Technologies’ NAS3 Casings Used in Liberty Ammunition’s New Ultra-Lights

Liberty Ammunition’s new Ultra-Lights, featuring Shell Shock Technologies’ casings, are 52 percent lighter than standard 125 grain 9mm lead jacketed hollow-points.


Westport, Conn. (December 2019)
Shell Shock Technologies, LLC., an early-stage technology and manufacturing company focused on developing innovative case technologies for the ammunition industry, announces that Liberty Ammunition has introduced its Ultra-Lights round featuring Shell Shock Technologies’ revolutionary NAS3 casings.

The new Liberty Ammunition Ultra-Lights are the Civil Defense rounds taken one step further. Liberty Ammunition’s innovative projectiles have been added to Shell Shock Technologies’ groundbreaking NAS3 casings. The 9mm Ultra-Lights total cartridge weighs only 93 grains, and is 52 percent lighter than standard 125 grain 9mm lead jacketed hollow-points.

“We are truly excited and proud to have our cutting-edge casings be a part of Liberty Ammunition’s innovative new Ultra-Light round,” said Craig Knight, CEO of Shell Shock Technologies.

Ultra-Lights Ballistic Performance:

  • Total Cartridge Weight: 93 Grains
  • Projectile Weight: 50 Grains
  • Velocity: > 2,000 feet per second
  • Kinetic Energy: > 450 ft. lbs.
  • Permanent Cavity: 3 ½” W x 10-13” D
  • Accuracy: < 1” at 25 meters

Liberty Ammunition’s Ultra-Lights projectiles are copper monolithic with nickel plating and are turned on a precision CNC machine for consistency and accuracy. They are lightweight, extremely fast projectiles, with a large diameter deep hollow-point cavity.

Our ammo penetrates barriers well, but when this cavity fills with soft tissue/liquid, the hydraulic pressure explodes the side walls of the projectile in a starburst-shaped pattern creating a devastating wound with multiple channels that cover a much greater area inside the target. Combined with Shell Shock Technologies’ two-piece cases, the new Ultra-Lights are the ultimate self-defense round.

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. NAS3cases 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. White Laboratory (a major munitions testing facility), rounds fired using NAS3 cases achieved a velocity standard deviation of 0.093 FPS (124-grain FMJ bullet, 4.2 grains Titegroup powder, 10 rounds, extreme variation 3fps).

Founded in Westport, Connecticut, in 2015, Shell Shock Technologies, LLC is an early stage technology and manufacturing company focused on developing innovative case technologies for the ammunition industry.

Team Bushnell Finishes Season Strong at 2019 Australasia Championship

Team Bushnell Australasialowres

Pro Shooter KC Eusebio Places 1st Overall in Production Optics Light Division

OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – December 17, 2019 – Team Bushnell shooters put an exclamation mark on the end of the 2019 season, bringing home top place finishes at the 2019 IPSC Australasia Handgun Championship. Competing overseas in the last match of the season, team members KC Eusebio and Jessie Harrison traveled to Lipa City, Batangas, where they tested their shooting skills against a field of over a thousand competitors from the around the world. In the end, Eusebio finished 1st Overall in the Production Optics Light Division while fellow teammate Harrison placed 3rd Overall in the Ladies Open Division, both using the Bushnell First Strike 2.0.

Held every three years, the 2019 Australasia Championship featured four days of competition across 24 unique stages of fire. Rated as Level 4 match due to its high degree of difficulty and number of stages, this year’s championship was considered by many to be one of the most challenging international competitions outside of the World Shooting Championship.

Eusebio, who competed in and won during his last trip to the Australasia Championship in 2013, agreed that this year’s match was one of the toughest matches he’s participated in during his 24 years of competitive shooting.

“While this was one of the best international matches that I’ve competed in, the degree of difficulty each stage presented combined with the physical exhaustion that you experience with multiple days of intercontinental travel, it certainly pushed me to the limits,” said Eusebio. “Despite those challenges, I was very pleased with how I performed as it’s always a special feeling to claim another Australasia Handgun Championship title.”

A hometown favorite, Eusebio especially enjoyed the reception he received from the local spectators. “The Filipino culture is extremely gun friendly,” commented Eusebio. “This match certainly had a hometown feel to me and it means a lot that I was able to perform at such a high level on a world stage.”

Competing in the Production Optics Light Division with his Bushnell First Strike 2.0, Eusebio outpaced the field of competitors, utilizing the red dot to gain a competitive edge against an array of over 50 moving targets and other staged obstacles.

Meanwhile, teammate and Hoppe’s pro shooter Jessie Harrison also utilized the FS2 to bring home a bronze medal in the Ladies Open Division. Competing in the Australasia Championship for the first time, Harrison had nothing but compliments on the match.

“From the breathtaking opening ceremonies to the extremely accommodating ROs and match staff, this is certainly a match that I intend to shoot again,” said Harrison. “Enough can’t be said about all the individual efforts that went into hosting a match of this magnitude. It was in a way southern hospitality at its finest and I can’t wait to come back in 2022.”

Cimarron’s The Blue and The Gray limited series of revolvers are detailed replicas of the originals used by the officers and soldiers during the Civil War.

Rare photo of Confederate and Union Soldier together. Courtesy of the Library of Congress.

Fredericksburg, Texas (December 2019) –  Cimarron Firearms, a leader in authentic reproduction firearms in the tradition of America’s Old West frontier guns, honors the soldiers on both sides of one of the darkest times in our Nation’s history, the Civil War, with a limited series of replica revolvers in The Blue and The Gray Series.

“There is no denying that this period of American history continues to be controversial,” Bryce Wayt, VP of operations and media for Cimarron Firearms, explained. “The Blue and The Gray Series are highly collectible, beautifully made replicas of the revolvers that made their way onto our country’s battlefields. This is Cimarron’s way to not only pay tribute to the brave soldiers on both sides, but to honor the continued freedom enjoyed by all American citizens as a result of that bloody war.”

Five revolvers are featured in The Blue and The Gray limited series. Representing the North is the 1860 Army .44, the 1860 Richards Transition Model® conversion .45 LC., and the 1860 “Grants Gun” 8”, .44 with it’s beautiful laser engraving. For the South, Cimarron offers the Leech & Rigdon CSA in .36 and the 1851 Richards Mason® Conversion in .38 Special.

Both North and South revolvers feature a finely rendered version in pure silver of the Old Glory Flag or the CSA Stars and Bars Battle Flag inlaid into the grips. The flag inlay was hand-carved from a block of micarta knife handle material by the legendary grip carver and maker Paul Persinger of El Paso, Texas. Champe Jennings, Cimarron’s fine jeweler in Fredericksburg, Texas, made the molds and cast the inlays in the pure silver for each revolver.

German Precision Optics Introduces RANGETRACKER 1800 Rangefinder

 

 

RICHMOND, Va. (Dec. 16, 2019) — German Precision Optics (GPO) USA announces the introduction of the new compact, lightweight, one-handed RANGETRACKER 1800 Rangefinder. Designed to meet and exceed the rangefinding needs of the hunter, the new 6x RANGETRACKER™ 1800 allows the hunter to accurately range its target out to 1800 yards with one of the fastest laser rangefinding systems on the market.
The GPO RANGETRACKER™ 1800 handheld rangefinder incorporates state-of-the-art optical and electronic technology, wrapped into a small durable multi-use rangefinding tool. It will work perfectly for both long-range rifle hunting (up to 1800 yards) and close archery usage (6 yards.)
Key features of the GPO RANGETRACKER™ 1800 include a high-transmission optical system coated with GPO’s proprietary GPObright™ lens coatings, both line of sight and/or True-range™ adjusted angle distance readings, a Hyperscan™ feature that provides three readings per second, Targetseeker™ technology that offers “best” and “last” laser hits and an outside temperature reading in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. The display is an HLDC system that allows up to 25% more light to get through the optical system, making it usable in very low-light situations.
“We are excited to bring our laser rangefinding technology to the hunting markets,” said Mike Jensen, GPO owner and CEO. “By using the very best designers, materials, manufacturing and quality control available in the world we very successfully launched rangefinders in the golf market last year. We anticipate our new RANGETRACKER for the hunting market to be even more successful.”
The RANGETRACKER has an retail price of $399.99 and is currently available at retailers nationwide. For more information on this product line call 1-844-MY-BINOS (692-4667) or visit

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.

INDRA “THE FCAS WILL MEAN A GIANT LEAP IN COMPETITIVENESS ACROSS SPANISH INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE”

· The program makes the whole sector face the challenge of developing – from the earliest stages – a cluster of dual nature technologies which will reach the market in the upcoming decades

· Indra, as FCAS coordinator, calls for transparency and cohesion in tackling a program which will demand the capability and talent of all companies and research organizations

· Indra believes that the government has been able to identify the tremendous development opportunity that the program meant for the country, and that they have shown great determination by joining it during its earliest stages

Madrid, December 13th 2019.- “The FCAS program will entail a tremendous development opportunity for the Spanish industry, and it will consolidate the sector’s position in the competitive arena introduced by the new Europe with its focus on Defence.” This was the message that Indra, as industrial coordinator of the program, conveyed to the research organizations and companies which had attended the work meeting convened by the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) this Friday.

During his speech, the FCAS program director at Indra, Manuel Rodríguez Cerezo, explained that the program means a “considerable fast-tracking and will have tremendous impact in new dual-nature technology development – which can be marketed to both the military and civilian spheres – big data, artificial intelligence and advance simulation techniques being just a few of them.”

Indra’s director pointed out that this program is at the heart of the driving forces in all kinds of national technological capabilities – not only military – and that it shows a mature and pragmatic approach on the part of the State regarding its support for Research and Development (R&D) within Spanish companies.

According to Rodríguez Cerezo, it also benefits from “an enviable inter-ministerial coordination structure, which ensures focus, budget, prominence, industrial planning and a cross-cutting vision of all the program.” He also affirmed that the Government has displayed “tremendous determination and courage in adhering to the program during its earliest stages, which will in turn translate into tremendous technological development for the country.”

The FCAS will also provide the stability that the sector needs in order to tackle its digital transformation and to foster and facilitate its international business projection and global supply chain integration.

Companies, universities and other research bodies will work in the earliest stages of technological development, which will pose an important challenge.

According to Rodríguez Cerezo, this is a project for which “we must take advantage of all the capacities, talent and infrastructure available in Spain.”

He pointed out that, in order to succeed, it will be imperative for “each company to be clear and realistic in regards to its capacities and interests, and to work cohesively with other partners. A long-term business approach must prevail at all times.”

Indra’s role in the program will revolve around defending the interests of the Spanish State, coordinating and boosting the Spanish industry’s participation, and functioning as a point of contact and interlocutor with the Directorate-General of Armaments and Material (DGAM).

Rodríguez Cerezo considers that the FCAS will transform the business model of many companies in our country, so that R&D and product and proprietary technology development can become the new driving force for growth.

It will also serve as a lever to place them at the heart of the European Defence market, which will be seeing an influx of billions of euros in investment in the coming years.

According to Indra, Spanish industry will be able to compete in this new environment only if it has top-level technological capabilities and alliances with companies throughout Europe.

Indra is a company which places innovation at the heart of its business, and has marked out a strategy based on an ecosystem of collaboration among customers, partners and governments in order to develop the most advanced solutions capable of catering to market needs.

About Indra

Indra (www.indracompany.com) is one of the main global technology and consultancy companies and the technological partner for its customers’ key business operations around the world. It’s a major global supplier of proprietary solutions in specific segments of the Transportation and Defence markets and a leading company in digital transformation and information technology consultancy in Spain and Latin America by means of its Minsait subsidiary.
