BREAKING NEWS: SIG Responds to New Jersey Attorney General’s Latest Attack on Firearms Industry
SIG SAUER Responds to New Jersey Attorney General’s Latest Attack on Firearms Industry
NEWINGTON, N.H., (October 17, 2025) – New Jersey Attorney General Platkin (D) filed a complaint against SIG SAUER, making numerous false and unsubstantiated claims about the P320. This false information requires immediate clarification and remedy.
AG Platkin’s assertion that the Modular Handgun System (MHS) program would not accept SIG SAUER’s submission because testing by the U.S. Army deemed it “unsafe” without a manual safety is outright false. The MHS program solicitation required all firearm manufacturers’ bids include pistols with manual safeties. The Government assured all bidders it would discontinue testing and eliminate a competitor from further consideration if the testing process uncovered any safety issue. SIG SAUER was not eliminated from the competition, but in fact was awarded the contract for the military’s official sidearm.
The Attorney General’s office further stated that an FBI Ballistics Research Facility report claimed one of the safety mechanisms of the P320 can be disabled without any pressure on the trigger. This is also false. SIG SAUER engineers worked directly with the FBI and the Michigan State Police, who commissioned the report, to conduct a comprehensive battery of follow-on tests. The tests resulted in zero failures and today the Michigan State Police confidently issue their officers P320 pistols.
Contrary to the baseless allegations, SIG SAUER has always and will continue to put the safety and security of the US Military, the law enforcement community, consumers, and the public first. AG Platkin’s statement that the P320 can fire uncommanded is also incorrect. To date, nearly twenty (20) P320 lawsuits have been dismissed. Despite years of litigation, plaintiffs’ “experts” have been repeatedly excluded from testifying after being unable to re-create a P320 discharge without a trigger pull. SIG SAUER intends to seek dismissal of AG Platkin’s baseless complaint.
The P320 pistol is one of the safest, most advanced pistols in the world. It meets and exceeds all industry safety standards. Its design has been thoroughly tested and validated by the U.S. Military and law enforcement agencies at the federal, state and local levels, along with several major global militaries. Since its development in 2014, the P320 has undergone more testing and technical review than virtually any other pistol in history.

San Antonio, Texas (October 16, 2025) – Team Blaser dominated at the 2025 World Skeet Championships once again with Caile Bradham winning HOA World Champion (498/500) and HAA World Champion (598/600).

The 2025 NSSA Mini-World Skeet Championships were held September 26-28 at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, Texas, followed by the NSSA World Skeet Championships September 29 – October 4.
“I switched to a Blaser F3 Vantage in early 2025, and shortly after I was able to achieve higher scores and more wins all culminating in winning the HOA at the World Skeet Championships,” said Team Blaser’s Caile Bradham. “Without everybody’s support from Blaser USA, none of this would have been possible!”
Team Blaser continued to deliver impressive performances throughout the events. Rachel Barringer was Wayne Mayes Ladies World Champion, Mini-Worlds Ladies HOA Runner-Up, and Mini-Worlds Ladies Doubles 3rd.
Melissa Hinton was Worlds Ladies HOA 3rd, Worlds Ladies .410 3rd, Worlds .410 A Class Champion, and Mini-Worlds Ladies 20 Gauge Runner-up.

“We have an incredibly strong team this year and tip our hats to all member of Team Blaser on their outstanding performances,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “Caile Bradham and Ed Smith are our newest members, and their switch to the Blaser F3 shotgun has been fun to watch. They have absolutely crushed it, as have our other talented team members.”

GA-ASI and Dutch Ministry of Defense Sign Agreement To Develop New Defense Capabilities
GA-ASI AND DUTCH MINISTRY OF DEFENSE SIGN AGREEMENT TO DEVELOP
NEW DEFENSE CAPABILITIES
WASHINGTON – 16 October 2025 – On October 16, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and the Dutch Ministry of Defence (MoD) signed an agreement to develop innovative defense capabilities starting with a small unmanned aircraft system (SUAS) designed to provide multi-role intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. The new platform will be low cost and able to host a variety of operationally relevant payloads and capabilities.
The partnership envisions implementing a business model that will enable the platform to scale up to high-volume production to meet demand.
“This contract is the first step in a strategic partnership with the Dutch MoD that will ultimately contribute to the defense of Ukraine and NATO by creating a versatile European defense system,” said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue.
GA-ASI is the world leader in UAS products and capabilities. The company is building on its established relationship with the Netherlands to create an urgently needed partnership to help defend Europe.
As part of the first phase of the contract, the Dutch MOD will collaborate with GA-ASI to establish UAS manufacturing capability.
Minister for Arms Procurement and Personnel Gijs Tuinman mentioned that this partnership is important: “Together with GA we will be increasing innovative SUAS capabilities and advancing technical knowhow in the Netherlands. This project is an example of strategic trans-Atlantic collaboration that supports our defense and technological base as we contribute to the defense of Ukraine and NATO by creating a versatile European defense system and working with a strong U.S. partner.”
VDL Defentec has been selected by GA-ASI to provide contract manufacturing of the new SUAS. VDL Defentec is based in the Netherlands and specializes in the development, engineering, subcontracting and production of military and special-purpose vehicles and other platforms. GA-ASI will work closely with VDL and provide detailed knowledge about the design, manufacture, logistics, and support of the new SUAS.
“We are excited having been selected by General Atomics and we are proud to support Dutch MOD to create, together with GA-ASI, this unique capability for the Netherlands making our country and our allies more resilient,” said Paul Malcontent, managing director of VDL Defentec.
The new aircraft is expected to fly before the end of this year with low-rate initial production expected to commence in 2026 in both the U.S. and the Netherlands.

Put Food on the Table with Akkar USA’s Meat Stick Pump-Action Shotgun
Put Food on the Table with Akkar USA’s Meat Stick Pump-Action Shotgun
![]()
North Kansas City, MO (October 16, 2025) – The Meat Stick pump shotgun series is designed for the local pond pounders and big water duck hunters. Rugged, reliable, and ready, it’s everything the waterfowler needs to bring home the birds. Cloaked in camo and available in three game-getting gauges, Akkar USA’s Meat Stick is a trusted “grocery getter.”
The shotgun features a 28” barrel with five extended choke tubes. Extended tubes make swapping between constrictions a breeze. By doing so, hunters can tailor shot patterns to the target and conditions. With a versatile chambering of 2 ¾” to 3” on the 20-ga and 28-ga and an impressive 2 ¾” to 3 ½” on the 12-ga, this shotgun is ready to tackle a variety of waterfowl loads.
The Meat Stick shotgun is equipped with a standard-length magazine tube and holds five 2.75-inch shells. However, with the plug installed, it complies with migratory bird hunting regulations, creating a maximum capacity of 2 + 1.
Akkar USA takes safety seriously. The Meat Stick features a reliable and familiar cross-bolt safety conveniently positioned on the trigger guard for quick access when the birds are within range.
Utilizing Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades camouflage, the Meat Stick blends seamlessly into wetland environments and gives hunters the edge to outsmart wary waterfowl.
The Meat Stick has a smooth pump-action operation, a gun that always goes bang three times in a row. Never miss the perfect opportunity when the birds finally commit.
A lightweight aluminum alloy receiver enhances durability and offers the option of installing a 1913 rail. Modern meat hunters know shotgun optics make a big difference when filling the game straps with birds, and the rail makes it possible.
Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, hunters can trust the quality and craftsmanship of Akkar USA shotguns for years to come. When it’s time to feed the family, grab the Meat Stick and head to the marsh.

NSSF Urges Justice Department to Resume NFA and Import Processing During Federal Government Shutdown

NSSF Urges Justice Department to Resume NFA and Import Processing During Federal Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, urged the Department of Justice (DOJ), in a letter, to fully reopen the National Firearms Act (NFA) Division and the Import branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The processing of Import permits and NFA forms are legally required for firearm industry members to provide certain firearms to law-abiding Americans wishing to exercise their Second Amendment rights during the current lapse in government funding, that shows no sign of ending any time soon.
Processing of applications for Import permits and NFA forms have been suspended since the federal government shutdown began on Oct. 1, 2025. Background checks for firearm transfers have remained operational through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), as it is deemed essential to ensure law-abiding citizens can freely exercise their Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. However, additional processing requirements for lawful transfers of suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and manufacture and import notifications are in limbo until the federal government is reopened.
“While we understand the operational challenges that arise during a lapse in federal funding, the complete cessation of commercial Imports and the processing of NFA items represents an infringement on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Americans’ Second Amendment rights cannot be suspended because Congress has failed to fund the federal government.”
Suppressors are legal to own in 42 states and are used by over 3 million law-abiding guns owners. That figure continues to grow annually. Suppressors are critical to preserving hearing for hunters, recreational shooters and range personnel.
NSSF pointed out that FBI NICS background checks are currently still being conducted, which are required for every suppressor transfer. Resuming Form 4 processing for suppressors, short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns would not place additional burdens on the background check infrastructure, nor would it require additional staffing by FBI NICS.
Continued processing of Form 2 manufacture and import notifications is critical to ensure that the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR) remains up to date, to allow for the transfer of newly manufactured or imported NFA items throughout any shutdown period. Coordinately, continued processing of Form 3 applications for transfers between licensees is critical to ensure that products remain available for customers who may wish to exercise their Second Amendment rights by purchasing an NFA item at their local firearms retailer.

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, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

The ROMEO-RS features a convenient side-mounted illumination adjustment button embedded into the polymer housing to prevent accidental interference, and the side-load battery tray makes battery replacements easy to do while maintaining zero.
Key Features of the ROMEO-RS:
Hybrid design featuring a skeletonized steel chassis, molded into a high-strength polymer housing
Molded glass aspheric lens for a distortion-free sight picture
High efficiency point source LED emitter with 8 individual brightness settings
Large side control button for easy reticle adjustments
Convenient side-mounted CR1632 battery tray with security screw for easy access without removing the optic from the firearm
Minimum continuous runtime of 20,000 hours (at medium setting – dot only)
MOTAC (Motion Activated Illumination) that powers up when motion is detected, powering down when inactive
Designed, developed, tested and assembled in the USA

TUO’s Boot Gaiters are the top choice for western hikers, big game hunters and off-the-grid whitetail fanatics
MUSKEGON, Mich. (October 14, 2025) – There are conditions where even the burliest brush or field pant are no match. Think about western big game hunters who crawl jagged rock formations for the perfect glassing position. Or undaunted whitetail hunters who push through any thicket to hang their saddle on a chosen tree. That’s TUO Boot Gaiter country.
“In a word, they’re ‘kickass’,” said TUO Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “If there’s such thing as over-testing, we did it with the TUO Boot Gaiters.”
The virtually impenetrable and durable Boot Gaiters are also lightweight and packable, as well as waterproofed with the company’s proprietary H-TUO™ waterproof membrane. A durable 2-way stretch fabric defends against menaces like firethorn and crucifixion thorn, while highly abrasion-resistant Bemis™ overlays protect the high-friction inner cuff areas. Bemis fabrics set the bar for abrasion-resistance in hunting apparel, used by only the best in brands.

TUO Boot Gaiters also fit like your favorite jeans. Rugged calf buckle adjusters afford a customized fit, while a front hook and loop closure and lace strap collaborate to keep your gaiters locked in place. On the inside, specialized grip tape keeps them securely in place.
“Where them once and you’ll be sold,” said Allie.

AGLOW Presents Prestigious Golden Glow Award to National Shooting Sports Foundation

AGLOW Presents Prestigious Golden Glow Award to National Shooting Sports Foundation
Lincoln, Neb.(Oct. 14, 2025) — The Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers (AGLOW) presented its prestigious Golden Glow Award in the Organization Category to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). The honor recognizes diverse and wide-reaching accomplishments in the field of outdoor communication.
The ceremony was part of the AGLOW annual conference, staged this year at the Metropolis Resort in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
The NSSF was recognized for being a promoter and defender of shooting sports and our national right to keep and bear arms. The NSSF has been a leader in supporting science-based wildlife management and has promoted and defended public access to public lands. They have championed the Pittman-Robertson Act by celebrating the over 17 billion dollars in federal excise taxes that firearm and ammunition manufacturers have contributed to wildlife conservation. The NSSF has taken the lead on scholastic hunting, archery, and shooting sports programming and proudly supported the House of Representatives Resolution 5110, the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act, which passed into law in 2023 and authorizes the use of elementary and secondary education funds to purchase and use firearms and weapons for purposes of providing students with educational instruction or enrichment activities like archery, hunting, shooting sports, or wild game culinary instruction.
The NSSF has led on R3 (Recruit, Retain, Reactivate) efforts, providing $100,000 in annual grants through the Hunting Heritage Trust Grants to support work to expand participation in hunting and the shooting sports. Their Plus-One Movement seeks to encourage recreational target shooters and hunters to develop peer-to-peer mentoring programs that grow new hunters and recreational shooters.
AGLOW Past President Ken Perrotte noted how the NSSF understands and acts upon its relationship with the outdoor media, striving daily to help anyone better understand and accurately report on issues related to shooting sports. “The NSSF’s list of activities and accomplishments is exhaustive,” Perrotte proclaimed. “This is representative of an organization that readily engages across wide-ranging spheres of influence, whether in the halls of legislative power or the corridors of mass communications. Mark Oliva and his communication team at NSSF are always prepared to give whatever time is needed to outdoor media so that we might thoroughly understand and cover issues. We, as outdoor communicators, are fortunate to have such professionals affiliated with AGLOW.”
Mark Oliva, Managing Director of Public Affairs for NSSF, accepted the award.
“AGLOW’s recognition of NSSF’s efforts to advance hunting, recreational shooting, and exercising Second Amendment rights is humbling as it is invigorating,” Oliva remarked. “AGLOW has been a critical voice for sportsmen and women to understand how America’s firearm and ammunition manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are working to ensure they pass along their hunting and shooting traditions to the next generation. To know NSSF is worthy of this award, and to be included in the company of those AGLOW has previously recognized, underscores the importance of the work and the mission of NSSF to promote, protect, and preserve hunting and the shooting sports and inspires us to rededicate ourselves to ensuring we continue to see our valued traditions continue for generations to come.”

GA-ASI and Hanwha Finalize Deal To Produce Gray Eagle(r) STOL UAS

GA-ASI AND HANWHA FINALIZE DEAL TO PRODUCE GRAY EAGLE® STOL UAS
Partnership Will Enable Cost Savings By Manufacturing Unique and Flexible UAS Platform in South Korea
SAN DIEGO – 14 October 2025 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and South Korea industry leader Hanwha Aerospace signed an agreement on October 14 to partner in development of the Gray Eagle® Short Takeoff and Landing (GE STOL) unmanned aircraft system (UAS). This landmark agreement marks the beginning of a new phase in U.S.-Korea defense cooperation, extending beyond traditional alliance structures to deliver next-generation, runway-independent UAS solutions that maximize commanders’ options in the face of evolving mission demands.
The deal marks the beginning of a co-development and co-production program between GA-ASI and Hanwha, with work set to begin immediately. The GE STOL will be offered to a worldwide customer base, including South Korea Ministry of Defense and the United States War Department.
Under the agreement, the two companies will design and build a production representative GE STOL. The maiden flight is scheduled for 2027 and first delivery to customers in 2028. With a GA-ASI-funded prototype already flying, the program has demonstrated its ability to accelerate from development to delivery. By leveraging the trusted Gray Eagle foundation and forward-leaning investments, the partnership offers the fastest path with lowest risk to operational capability. GA-ASI and Hanwha Aerospace will work closely throughout the design phase and establish a production facility in South Korea for final assembly and manufacturing of the GE STOL, with GA-ASI handling the final integration. GA-ASI will continue to produce its other Gray Eagle models in San Diego.
“GA-ASI and Hanwha are committed to investing in this project and building development and production capabilities in South Korea,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “We’ll be leveraging the expertise of both companies to quickly bring the Gray Eagle STOL to global customers.”
Gray Eagle STOL is the only medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS in its class to offer true runway independence by operating from semi-improved surfaces, including dirt roads, open fields, beaches, and parking lots. This exponentially increases its operational employment by providing multi-mission capability for Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA), counter UAS, and other missions including Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) while leveraging GE STOL’s modular open systems approach.
Using the GE STOL demonstrator, called Mojave, GA-ASI recorded several first-of-their-kind aviation milestones, including a 2024 demonstration when GA-ASI and Hanwha flew Mojave from the South Korean Navy’s amphibious landing ship ROKS Dokdo (LPH-6111) as it was underway at sea off the coast of Pohang, South Korea. It has also been launched and recovered aboard the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales (2023), performed live-fire testing at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona (2024), and performed dirt strip operations (2023) underscoring GA-ASI’s advances in runway independence and operational flexibility.
The initiative is part of Hanwha’s strategic investment plan in its UAS business. This commitment, together with GA-ASI’s continued focus on UAS, demonstrates both companies’ strategy to invest ahead of customer demand, reducing risk and lowering lifecycle costs through international cost-sharing, and ensuring timely delivery of next-generation UAS solutions in Korea and abroad.
“Jointly producing GE STOL in South Korea and the U.S. will create jobs and help Hanwha secure talent in related fields as well as foster our domestic (Korean) UAS industry ecosystem. Hanwha is poised to become a comprehensive UAS company capable of executing everything from design to production and maintenance based on our capabilities, which span from fighter jet engines to radar and avionics equipment,” said Mr. Jae-il Son, President and CEO of Hanwha Aerospace.
Together, GA-ASI and Hanwha are delivering a low-risk, investment-backed, and innovation-driven UAS solution that provides commanders unmatched flexibility faster and at lower cost.

RIVERTON, Wyo. (Oct. 14, 2025) — As fall hunting season kicks into high gear, many hunters are faced with the growing challenge of finding a local wild game processor.

STANDING UP FOR 2A RIGHTS
WATCH BEHIND THE BAFFLES EPISODE 3
In this episode of Behind The Baffles, we’re diving into two major battles that affect every gun owner in America.
Silencer Central and CEO Brandon Maddox are leading the charge for fair business practices for Second Amendment companies. The results are already making waves.
We break down the JPMorganChase banking controversy, how the firearms industry fought back, and their policy reversal that followed.
Then, we cover our ongoing lawsuit against FedEx for refusing to ship fully legal suppressors, and what you can do to help influence change.
This isn’t just about suppressors, it’s about protecting the infrastructure that allows us to exercise our constitutional rights.
Standing Tall on 2A: Taking FedEx to Court
Having just achieved a landmark reversal from J.P. Morgan Wealth Management regarding discriminatory denial of services, Silencer Central and its CEO Brandon Maddox are fighting back against FedEx. The goal? To ensure firearm manufacturers and related organizations get fair treatment from one of the nation’s largest courier companies.
We built our business on making things simple.
For too long, the process to buy a silencer has been too complicated. We’ve pioneered an easier way. High-quality suppressors, firearm experts you can trust, and a process dedicated to your convenience.
That’s silence made simple.
