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.

Hatsan Announces Market’s Most Powerful PCP Rifle

Posted on Wednesday, 3 June, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

Bentonville, AR (June 2, 2020) – Hatsan proudly announces the introduction of its first .50 caliber air rifle, and the market’s most powerful production PCP rifle. The PileDriver is designed exclusively for high-powered hunting applications. Capable of producing over 800 ft-lbs. of energy in .50 cal, it is also available in a 700+ FPE-generating .45 caliber model. Although this rifle utilizes a 33-inch barrel, its bullpup design keeps the maximum length under 4 ft. The side lever cocking mechanism is easy to reach and operate. A 480cc carbon fiber bottle fills to 4350 PSI and will provide up to 6 high-powered shots on a single fill. The PileDriver’s unique, patented hammer design eliminates traditional steel coil springs in favor of a smoother, easier-to-cock, gas piston mechanism. This top-loading single-shot rifle also features an extra-large loading port that will accommodate ammo up to 34mm in length.

The all-weather synthetic bullpup stock features an ergonomic pistol grip with textured grip surfaces for enhanced feel and control. The soft rubber buttpad is both elevation and angle adjustable to ensure controlled recoil and a comfortable fit. An elevation adjustable cheek rest ensures proper sight alignment with any optic. The rifle’s 14-inch-long scope rail is cut to accept both Picatinny and 11mm Dovetail mounts, offering plenty of real estate for a wide variety of optics. Three Picatinny accessory rails are attached around the air bottle for added customization. The high-strength steel barrel is precision rifled for long-range accuracy, and the absence of a shroud allows for the use of sabot rounds, further expanding one’s ammunition options.

Genuine bullpup design, manual loading high-powered PCP air rifle
Available in .45 and .50 caliber

Summer Scouting with Styrka Optics

Posted on Wednesday, 3 June, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

Eagan, MN (June 2, 2020) – In these high-tech times of ours, summer scouting in preparation for our fall hunts often starts online. Digital maps and similar resources help us find public hunting areas and guides us to other options. If we already have access to specific lands or properties, many of us will have game cameras in place.

Both are great ways to start gathering information for the fall. When we really want to know what’s on the land, we need to be on the land. And Styrka optics can help tremendously with this in-the-field scouting.

If we don’t know the land or property, we need to at least walk the edges of it to acquaint ourselves. But what does a hunter do once that’s done? Think, distance scouting.

Hunters want to observe but not be observed or smelled. There’s no better way to accomplish this than to set up at various observation points and scan from afar with a pair of Styrka binoculars or our S7 Series Spotting Scopes.

Of course, hunters are looking for the obvious–wild game animals, where they appear and at what times of the day. Also, search out trails they use and openings between wooded areas where they cross-note sources of water and food, especially crops.

Before setting up hunting blinds, pay attention to the prevailing winds, too, and plan the blind locations to take advantage of these winds.

What happens if the area has been hunted before? Don’t assume the deer will just be there. White-tailed deer, for example, are known to get into feeding and bedding routines. However, human disturbances and changes to vegetation from year to year can have these same deer altering their travel, bedding and feeding patterns.

If hunters know these routines from past hunts, spend some time confirming them-or discovering the changes.

Styrka optics are designed and made with the hunter in mind–and that means they are ready for the field! The “Styrka Pride” warranty covers all optics. If hunters ever have a problem, the Styrka optic will be fixed or replaced. Forever. Plus, once a year, hunters can send back their optics, and the company will clean and tune it as needed.

Launched in 2015, Styrka offers a dynamic line up of hunting scopes, binoculars, red dots and spotting scopes. The Styrka philosophy is simple but non-negotiable: make high quality optics at affordable prices; always tell your customers the truth about what optics can and can’t do; and, stand behind your products 100-percent, forever. Styrka Pride. Styrka Strong.

Can You Spot the Differences?

Posted on Tuesday, 2 June, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

PSR vs. CAL Atlas Bipod Comparison

Both are bipods with two legs used to support firearms, BUT each for different applications. Our bipods are certainly all bipods, but they too have different characteristics that warrant a little thought prior to selecting the right tool for the job.
Our full featured V8, PSR, and 5-H all have the ability to both Pan and Cant, while the CAL series, including the new Super CAL will only cant.
Panning is a great feature where flexibility and the ability to move on a target or load then pan to a target is necessary. Most likely encountered in urban environment or uneven terrain. Those shooting at longer distances at a static target don’t typically require the ability to Pan, so the CAL series that “Cants And Locs” will likely make more sense.

If you are unsure, just give us a call and we will spend some time helping you determine the best choice. Or if you don’t like to talk on the phone…get one of each! Everyone knows we should use the right tool for the job…right!?

Whether you’re dialing back your gas system to reduce back-pressure when shooting suppressed or just trying to find the sweet spot to manage recoil on a competition gun, our Adjustable Gas Block allows you to fine tune your gas system with 15 “clickable” adjustment points. The sleek design occupies the same height and width and a standard low-profile gas block making it a natural choice to install underneath slim free-float handguards like the ATLAS system.
Worried about carbon locking? We’ve thought about that too! Carbon fouling is channeled into an included “sacrificial chamber” in the design. While this feature provides protection from carbon deposits directly to the adjustment screw, it doesn’t eliminate the possibility completely. In the event your adjustment screw becomes seized, this chamber provides an access point for solvents to help break any carbon locking should you encounter it.
Our new Adjustable Gas Block is machined from 4140 Steel and is Nitride coated for extreme durability. Upgrade your build today!

New Rifle Scope Leveling Tool From Fix It Sticks!

Posted on Friday, 29 May, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

New Rifle Scope Leveling Tool From Fix It Sticks, The Scope Jack

Chicago, IL– Fix It Sticks, the industry innovator of modular firearms maintenance tools and torque limiters has introduced the Scope Jack. This clever new tool simplifies one of the most critical steps to properly mounting a riflescope, leveling the reticle. The Scope Jack eliminates the need for plumb bobs, levels, lights and other tools while quickly and effectively leveling the scope to the rail in a matter of seconds. Made for rifles utilizing two-piece scope rings, a single-piece Picatinny rail and a scope with a flat bottom turret housing, the Scope Jack is portable and easily fits into most Fix It Sticks tool kits and cases.

Long range shooters know a level reticle is critical for accuracy particularly at extended ranges. Unfortunately leveling the reticle can be time consuming and inconvenient. Using the Scope Jack is quick and foolproof. There are no additional leveling aids necessary and the firearm does not even have to be level or on a level surface. With the scope mounted in the scope rings but able to rotate, simply mount the Scope Jack to the Picatinny rail under the scope with the leveling bar under the flat-bottomed turret housing. Then with any ¼” drive rotate and lift the leveling bar until it engages and levels the scope in the rings. One feature that sets the Scope Jack apart from other methods is user can maintain pressure on the scope while applying proper torque to the fasteners. This keeps the optic level throughout the process.

The new Scope Jack is lightweight and portable. When used with Fix It Stick torque limiters mounting a scope properly torqued and leveled is easy to do in a matter of minutes. Made from 6061 T-6 aluminum and hard coat anodized matted black, the Scope Jack weighs a mere 0.84 oz and is now available with an MSRP of $44.00.

About Fix It Sticks: Fix It Sticks is a highly modular multi-tool system featuring a variety of specialty tools and torque limiters, along with standard 1/4″ bits, to keep your gear running at the range and in the field. Unlike other multi-tools out there, which compromise function for portability, Fix It Sticks uses a T-handle concept to give you the best of both worlds: shop level function, paired with light weight and portability.

Afterwards, attendees can move freely from range to range to enjoy various shooting activities. Lunch is served around noon by a popular Taco food truck, and attendees can eat and rest at the picnic grove on site. Raffles for door prizes will be drawn and distributed during lunch. The event lasts until the range closes at 4:30 pm, and attendees can shoot and socialize throughout the day at leisure.

SHOT SHOW 2021

Posted on Friday, 29 May, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

How was everyone’s week? Are you all keeping the stress levels down and staying away from the mental health apps? I’d ask you about your plans for your weekend but it’s none of my business, and with this lockdown you may be staying home and playing video games. But look readers, things are opening up and from what I’ve seen individuals and businesses are being responsible in how they conduct themselves and their businesses. So, hang in there!

I’ve always suspected that the COVID 19 virus created Zombies as evidenced in my dashcam video below.

The streets are still empty, I’ve never seen this intersection with virtualy no traffic.

In this week’s shoot the shit I’d like to relay what the NSSF SHOT SHOW team had to say about the 2021 event. I’ve had a number of conversations with people who are wondering what is going to happen. Somewhat premature, but valid just the same as we are rapidly approaching the time when exhibitors and attendees make travel plans etc. So, here’s the official skinny on Shot Show 2021 as of today.

Looking Toward the 2021 SHOT Show

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of exhibitors have inquired about what our plans are for the 2021 SHOT Show. Any details at this point in time would be premature because we just don’t know what the parameters for holding large events will be nine months from now. Our first and foremost priority is to ensure the safety of our customers—the exhibitors, attendees and media—and our employees. So, as the situation develops on a daily basis, we’ll continue discussing what that looks like from an operational and customer perspective. Sometimes it feels like we’re planning to fight 100 different battles on the same ground. That’s why everything is on the table at this point in time. I think the fact that our show is held in January puts us in a very good position because there is a very good chance that we’ll emerge from this well in advance of the show. —Chris Dolnack, NSSF

It looks like NSSF is aware of the concerns and their team is working on formulating and evaluating the options. One thing is certain, the sheer magnitude of the event and the challanges of the times will keep the NSSF folks busy.

Alright readers, have a great weekend and don’t stress out, it’s easy to do under these conditions but this too shall pass.

Anarchy Outdoors Innovates Rimfire Performance Upgrades

Posted on Thursday, 28 May, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

North Logan, UT- Anarchy Outdoors, a leading industry innovator and supplier of precision rifle components and other high-performance firearms accessories, has developed a significant product line of upgrades and accessories for precision rimfire rifles. Designed in house from their own competition experience as well as customer input, Anarchy Outdoors’ rimfire upgrades are built to the same exacting standards their centerfire rifle product lines. Recent editions to their rimfire product line include a Ruger Precision Rimfire Bolt Handle (also fits the Ruger American rimfire), A Ruger Precision Rimfire Scope Base With Integrated Bubble Level, Ruger Precision Rimfire Bull Barrel Full Port Muzzle Brake.

An ergonomic bolt handle is a must for precision rifle competition. The shooter’s hand must come off the grip and naturally engage the bolt handle in one sweeping, ergonomic motion. The Anarchy Outdoors Ruger Precision Rimfire Bolt Handle is slightly longer for better leverage and has a more natural rearward angle to it. This allows the shooter to smoothly cycle the action with one fluid motion. The Ruger Precision Rimfire Bolt Handle is machined from 17-4 stainless steel with a Black Nitride finish option to reduce wear and corrosion. The end of the handle is threaded 5/16-24TPI which works with most aftermarket bolt knobs as well as the factory Ruger bolt knob. The Upgraded Bolt Handle for Ruger Precision Rimfire and American Rimfire is now available with an MSRP of $59.99. https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/rimfire-ruger-precision-american-bolt-handle-upgrade/

The Anarchy Outdoors Ruger Precision Rimfire Rifle Scope Base with Bubble Level addresses the needs of competitive and long range rimfire enthusiasts for keeping their rifle level while shooting at extended distances. Precision shooters know that as the range to target increases maintaining a level rifle/scope combination is critical to maximizing accuracy. The Ruger Precision Rimfire Rifle Scope Base with Bubble Level replaces the factory Picatinny rail and has an integrated bubble level at the back of the scope mount. This allows the shooter to stay on the rifle with a proper cheek weld and with literally just a slight eye movement confirm if they are level or make slight adjustments before shooting. Machined form 6061-T6 aluminum and hard coat anodized black, the Ruger Precision Rimfire Rifle Scope Base with Bubble Level is now available with an MSRP of $79.99. https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/ruger-precision-rimfire-rifle-scope-base-w-bubble-level/

A rimfire muzzle brake is a must for the serious rimfire competitor. Even though a rimfire has negligible recoil, it is enough to move the reticle off target. A muzzle brake lets the shooter quick require the target and fire the next round. The Anarchy Outdoors RPR Rimfire Bull Barrel Full Port Muzzle Brake (1/2″x28) was designed specifically for the competitive rimfire shooter. Made from titanium, this muzzle brake was designed by a master gunsmith with spiral port cut outs as well as a parabolic internal taper. The result is a lightweight brake that reduces recoil without being overly loud. This brake is made to perfectly match the Ruger Precision rimfire barrel but works just as well an AR-15s or any other 22 caliber rifle threaded ½-28 TPI. The RPR Rimfire Bull Barrel Full Port Muzzle Brake (1/2″x28) is left in the polished titanium finish and is now available with an MSRP of $59.99. https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/rpr-rimfire-bull-barrel-full-port-muzzle-brake-1-2×28/

INDRA STRENGTHENS THE SPANISH AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM

Posted on Thursday, 28 May, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

· The company will modernize and strengthen the encryption of the IFF (identification, friend or foe) systems to adapt them to the new NATO standards

· These are systems with the capability to interrogate and identify an aircraft in flight over 470 kilometers away

· The system joins the Lanza 3D radars deployed by Indra in Spanish territory, the backbone of the national air defense and of NATO’s southwestern flank

Madrid, May 27, 2020.- The Ministry of Defense has awarded Indra the tender for the IFF (identification, friend or foe) systems modernization for Lanza 3D radars used by the Aerial Surveillance Squadrons of the Spanish Air Force.

With this upgrade, the systems will comply with the most recent NATO interoperability standards, which will soon be mandatory for military aircraft and ground systems.

These are systems capable of interrogating an aircraft over 470 kilometers away to identify it and determine whether or not it is a threat.

The Spanish Air Force will have the following interrogation capabilities throughout the national territory: Mode 5 (encrypted), Mode S and ADS-B. All these identification methods will be incorporated into the different air command and control centers that protect Spanish air space and Europe’s southwestern flank within NATO.

The new equipment supplied by Indra will be set up for security accreditation and will be resistant to cyber attacks. They will offer reinforced protection for the data exchanged with civil air traffic control entities.

The contract has a duration of 3 and a half years, and comes with the associated logistic support in the Air Surveillance Squadrons (EVA, in Spanish) as well as in the Logistic Transmissions Center (CLOTRA, in Spanish). This ensures that the systems will be operational throughout their life cycle of at least 15 years.

Indra is one of the leading companies worldwide in the development of IFF systems that it has implemented in ground stations as well as in platforms of all types.

Indra is a leading company in radar development and one of the main suppliers for NATO. The company has won all the radar tenders awarded by the Alliance in the last five years and has delivered a total of more than 50 Lanza 3D radars to countries on all five continents. Its equipment has been extensively tested in all kinds of scenarios and environments. Indra is also experienced in the supply of complete air defense systems that protect the air space of several countries.

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 Defense 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.

Steinel Ammunition Co., 9mm 124gr Subcompact Carry SCHP round for EDC.

Posted on Tuesday, 26 May, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

Ohio manufacturer, Steinel Ammunition has built a reputation on producing the finest hard to source unique military surplus ammo. In March the company announced a premium 9mm defensive round, a first for Steinel. What is unique about this first offering is that it has been specifically formulated for the subcompact pistol. The 124gr solid Copper Hollow Point (SCHP) exits a 3 inch barrel at 960 feet per second, but the lower muzzle velocity does not detract from its impressive terminal ballistics.

The Maker Solid Copper Hollow Point bullets, new Starline nickel-plated casings, Hodgdon powder, and CCI’s primers makes Steinel’s 9mm defensive round a very high quality offering. Its performance is defined by a bullet expansion to a diameter of 0.706” when fired from a 3” barrel at 960 FPS, and .857” when fired from a 4.7” barrel with 1,050 FPS velocity.

I’ll be test driving this impressive 9mm round from Steinel in June.

Galco is excited to introduce the Scout 3.0™ tuckable inside the waistband holster for the SIG-Sauer P365

Posted on Monday, 25 May, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

Introducing The Scout 3.0™ For The Sig Sauer P365

PHOENIX, May 2020
Galco is excited to introduce the Scout 3.0 tuckable inside the waistband holster for the SIG-Sauer P365, one of today’s most popular modern carry pistols! The highly versatile Scout 3.0 merges Galco’s historic quality, comfort, and high performance as an option for daily CCW needs.
The Scout 3.0’s open top and full firing grip accessibility combine for a fast and easy draw – critically important in fast-moving self-defense situations. The reinforced holster mouth provides a safe and simple return to the holster after action.
The Scout is constructed with the rough side of the leather out. This construction method provides additional stability in the waistband, as well as a smooth leather holster pocket for a faster, slicker feel on the draw.
The Scout 3.0’s versatility comes from its adjustability for cant and angle. You like to carry in the currently-hot appendix position? Adjust the belt clip to a neutral (vertical) cant. Prefer a more traditional strongside behind-the-hip position? Just angle the clip to accommodate. Like a crossdraw carry? Move the clip the other direction!
The ambidextrous Scout 3.0 is supplied with two types of interchangeable tuckable clips. The first is the UniClip™, designed to go over the belt, but which also works well without a belt. The second is the Ultimate Stealth™ clip with hook, which fits on the trouser waistband, under or behind a belt with just the clip showing, for the ultimate in stealthy concealment!
Available in natural finish with black mouth band, the Scout’s MSRP is $89.

Now, as stay-at-home orders are loosened and people are beginning to leave their homes for socialization and recreation—and especially as an uptick in FFL store and range foot traffic is expected with the upcoming Memorial Day weekend—businesses are asking what liability they have for the safety and health of their staff and customers.

To help answer those questions, NSSF worked with Jay Porter, partner at Bradley, Arant, Boult, Cummings, LLP, to develop our new webinar, “Am I liable? The Changing Landscape of Liability in the Age of COVID-19.” In this 60-minute presentation, Porter will answer three of the most pressing questions NSSF has been asked by its members:

When I reopen, what new liabilities should I be concerned with?
If I do reopen and someone becomes sick (including employees and customers), can I be sued?
Does my insurance policy protect me from personal or corporate liability when it comes to COVID-19?

Webinar attendees will also gain a deeper understanding of the implications of reopening or continuing operations during the ongoing public health situation, including:

Steps you can take to limit your liability exposure in respect to COVID-19
Guidance on what you need to know about responding to the coronavirus and how it may impact you and your business
Critical legal questions to ask your insurance and law professional partners

The “Am I liable? The Changing Landscape of Liability in the Age of COVID-19” webinar takes place Thursday, May 28 from 11:00 a.m. to noon EST. NSSF webinars relating to COVID-19 have proven to be extremely well-received. This webinar is free to all interested industry members, but attendance is limited, so we encourage everyone to register at the earliest possible convenience. Register here.

CZ P-10 Pistol Leads The Way

Posted on Friday, 22 May, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

Numerous Upgrades Make The P-10 Line
Better Than
Ever

Kansas City,
KS (May 21, 2020) –
All CZ P-10 semi-automatic pistols feature a swappable magazine release, which
operates smoother than the ambidextrous release of the past. Just a few minutes’
work reverses the release, so lefties can hit the release with their thumb from
the right side of the pistol.

P10’s feel right in the hand much like
the classic CZ 75 and their trigger feel is at the top of the class when it
comes to striker-fired pistols. With a solid wall, a clean break, and a tactile,
audible reset, the P-10’s trigger leaves many other striker guns in its
dust.

Built to withstand the rigors of
military use, the P-10’s are constructed around a fiber-reinforced polymer frame
coated with a hardy nitride finish. Ardent shooters will appreciate the
ruggedness of these P-10’s. The generous trigger guard allows use with gloved
hands and is undercut to allow as high a grip as possible. With CZ reliability,
engineered ergonomics and a bevy of features both familiar and new, the P-10 is
the complete package.

CZ P-10 F SUPPRESSOR-READY
With
an extended barrel threaded 1/2×28, this striker-fired pistol can fill every
role – from range-day plinker or duty weapon to bedside protector (the later
with the addition of a light and compact can). High night sights provide
impressive visibility over most 9mm cans, while the extended magazine bases
boost ammunition capacity by two rounds.

GREEN

With its OD Green frame and a set of
tritium 3-dot night sights, this full-size P-10 holds 19+1 in the magazine and
features CZ-USA’s, easily-swappable magazine release. Built with the same crisp
trigger and engineered ergonomics that have made the P-10 platform a favorite,
the full-size frame of the F model brings a longer sight radius, longer barrel,
and longer grip for more consistency and control. Result: superior accuracy in
all shooting scenarios.

National Police Ammunition Introduces its New 9mm Solid Copper Hollow Point +P HELO Defense Round

Posted on Friday, 22 May, 2020 by twobirdsflyingpub

Based on the same HELO bullet used by law enforcement, the HELO Defense round is available for responsible citizens.

Miami, Florida (May 2020) – National Police Ammunition (NPA), the world’s leader in lead free ammunition, is pleased to announce the development and the release of their HELO Defense 9mm 115 grain + P solid copper hollow point with proprietary interior skives. The HELO Defense 9mm is the same bullet that has been adopted by several law enforcement agencies known as the “HELO Duty” but is now available for the law-abiding citizen for self-defense. “H.E.L.O” is an acronym for High Expansion, Law Enforcement, Ordinance.

The NPA proprietary HELO family of products was originally designed for law enforcement and specifically to pass and exceed all FBI performance protocols. Unlike bonded jacketed bullets the HELO is formed from a solid piece of high-grade virgin copper. At that point a proprietary cavity is formed with interior skives, the copper bullet is heat treated to the ideal hardness to allow the projectile to achieve maximum penetration and expansion while retaining 100% of its grain weight through ballistic gel and does not break apart like many copper hollow points on the market today.

An additional benefit is the HELO is designed to defeat barriers and not have its cavity get “plugged” by heaving clothing, drywall, and even plywood. The projectile also has a black oxide coating that reduced copper fouling in a firearms barrel and reduces drag for maximum velocity without over-pressuring the cartridge. The HELO was designed to hit all the benchmarks of the FBI Protocol Test, even penetrating at the minimum length of 12” into bare gel from a Glock 43 sub-compact pocket pistol and will also penetrate an average of 15” of gel from a full size defense pistol averaging 1,150 FPS from a 4” barrel.

Along with a press release announcing the product, NPA has also released a demonstration video which shows the cartridge being tested for accuracy, reliability, and terminal ballistics using a high-speed camera that captures the projectile creating the temporary wound cavity into clear ballistics gel media.The 9mm HELO was tested for accuracy by using several full sizes duty pistols and not a test fixture barrel which most manufacturers use when reporting their accuracy specs. The 9mm HELO consistently shoots below a 2” group at 25 yards shot from a rest with a 4” duty pistol.

Reliability and versatility of the HELO 9mm defense was shown by shooting multiple pistols from full sized to pocket pistols and even select-fire machine guns, in which the bullet reliably fed and fired from each firearm.

To demonstrate the terminal ballistics, the HELO 9mm cartridge was run through every FBI Protocol test and was captured on high-speed camera displaying the bullets’ flight into bare gel and through several barriers, which law enforcement can encounter in trying to stop an armed subject.

The video also shows the penetration, expansion, and weight retention of the HELO 9MM Defense round.

NPA will first introduce the 9mm 115 grain + P HELO pistol cartridge in the popular 9mm caliber and will be expanding the line to all other major calibers. The HELO Defense round can be purchased on National Police’s commercial brand site www.alchemistammunition.com.

Clear Ballistics gel 20 percent was used in all FBI Protocol tests because it closely mimics the density of true FBI gelatin.

NPA has released 2 demonstration videos: a long format showing all the full FBI Protocol Tests and a short format video showing bare gel and heavy clothing which would be the most likely scenario in a self-defense situation, these videos can be found below:

Tested, Adopted, & Recommended by Law Enforcement

Based in Miami, Florida for over a decade National Police Ammunition is one of the leading manufacturers of lead-free ammunition in the United States whose products have been tested, approved, and recommended by State and Federal law enforcement. NPA’s products are held to the strictest of quality controls which have been developed with our customers to address the unique requirements of law enforcement agencies. NPA is the only manufacturer of sintered nontoxic, heavy metal free, and low spark frangible bullets which they also load the same bullets into their own cartridges. This is in contrast to most other companies that purchase their frangible bullets from a third-party vendor. NPA consistently provides superior lead times, outstanding service, and the most cost-effective lead-free products to the industry.
