Morphix Technologies® to Exhibit at CBRNe Convergence 2018

Posted on Thursday, 1 November, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Morphix Technologies® will be displaying its TraceX® Explosive Detection Kit and Chameleon® Chemical Detection Armband at Booth #203 in Orlando, Florida, Nov. 6 – 8, 2018.

Virginia Beach, Va. (October 2018) – Morphix Technologies®, an innovator in the science of detection devices for dangerous chemicals, will be exhibiting at the CBRNe Convergence 2018, to be held at the Rosen Plaza Hotel in Orlando, Florida, Nov. 6 – 8, 2018. Morphix Technologies will be exhibiting its TraceX® Explosive Detection Kit and its Chameleon® Chemical Detection Armband at Booth #203.

“We are excited to meet the great caliber of CBRNe experts traveling from over 30 countries and discuss current attacks, exercises and research to improve the CBRN defense capabilities with them at the CBRNe Convergence. We are looking forward to exhibiting what the TraceX and Chameleon detection devices can do for these esteemed professionals,” commented Kimberly Pricenski, vice president of sales and marketing for Morphix Technologies.

The TraceX Explosive Detection Kit is an affordable and easy-to-use product that aids in the detection of major explosive material threats and their precursors in a single test without exposing the kit to contamination or the user to dangerous chemicals. It was developed by Morphix Technologies under contract from the U.S. Department of Defense and meets their demanding requirements. It is small enough to fit in a cargo pocket, lightweight and rugged. Each kit comes in its own disposable protective plastic case, so the handler will be ready to use it when needed and is shelf stable for 24 months. With a single swab, the TraceX Explosive Detection Kit detects all the major families of explosive materials and their precursors.

The Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband is an easy-to-use, inexpensive, wearable, reusable armband that can hold up to 10 cassettes, each of which detects a particular toxic chemical and changes color upon detection. One color indicates the absence of toxic gas. When two colors appear in the window, the user knows it is time to take action. Designed for use in the arctic, tropical and desert conditions, the Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband can even be immersed in water. Morphix Technologies has prioritized its product development based on the advice of the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies, so the Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband cassettes are available for many of the high-risk Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) identified by the U.S. government. It has also been approved by the U.S. SAFETY Act of the Department of Homeland Security as an anti-terrorist technology.

Growing closer, staying distinct, merging civilian and military response to CBRN, IED and all hazard threats is the constant theme of CBRNe Convergence. The event is planned by Gwyn Winfield, editor of CBRNe World magazine, who brings together expert speakers from around the globe, chosen for their insight and challenge, providing attendees with shortcuts to best practices. Streamed sessions allow attendees to choose presentations that best fit the needs of their organizations and foster an understanding of how they can bring together civil and military forces in such fields as CBRN, EOD and Hazmat to better prepare for current and future challenges.

If you’d like to receive more information on the Chameleon or TraceX, please contact Morphix Technologies toll-free in the US at 800-808-2234 or +1- 757-431-2260 internationally. You can also email sales@morphtec.com.

Posted on Wednesday, 31 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

9f3c75dc-a3d6-4ae7-9490-5018a70c3bda

(Pillager, MN) – Magnum Research, Inc, maker of the world renowned Desert Eagle pistol and leader in innovative firearms design and manufacturing, is proud to announce the launch of the new 429 DE pistol cartridge.
Magnum Research has developed a new, fast, powerful .44 caliber pistol cartridge. The 429 DE (Desert Eagle) was designed to enhance the famous and powerful Desert Eagle platform. This cartridge has a 25% velocity increase and 45% energy increase over a 44 Mag (240 — 6″ barrel). It has a velocity of 1600 FPS with 240 grain bullets and 1750 FPS with 210 grain bullets.
The 429 DE features 30 degree shoulder headspaces and a neck long enough to properly hold and crimp a 240 grain bullet without set back under recoil. Based on the famous 50 AE cartridge, the 429 DE is made with Starline brass, and loaded by HSM in Montana with Sierra bullets.
“This new cartridge was engineered and designed specifically for the Desert Eagle Pistol, keeping in mind that the DEP is known world wide for its awesome firepower and performance. The 429 DE propels that history into the future,” says Jim Tertin, Design and R&D for Magnum Research.
The 429 DE rounds are available in boxes of twenty and distributed by Magnum Research, Inc. Available options include: 240 grain soft point (DEP429DE240JSP) MSRP of $42, and 210 grain hollow point (DEP429DE210JHP) MSRP of $42.
To accompany the 429 DE cartridge, Magnum Research will soon be releasing a lineup of 429 DE 6-inch barrels in a variety of finishes. The 429 DE barrels will be compatible with any MK19 USA or Israel Desert Eagle Pistol with a wide .830” rail on top of the barrel and uses a 50AE magazine and bolt. More information on these barrels will be announced soon.
Note: The 429 DE is similar to, but NOT INTERCHANGABLE with, the obsolete 440 COR BON, but properly engineered with a sharp 30-degree shoulder, consistent headspace and reliable function and velocity.

Sumter, South Carolina Police Department Transitions to Complete SIG SAUER Platform with P320 and P365 Pistols

Posted on Friday, 26 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Newington, N.H. (October 25, 2018) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is proud to announce the Sumter Police Department in Sumter, South Carolina has adopted both the SIG SAUER P320, and the P365 pistols, chambered in 9mm, as their official duty pistols.

Sumter, South Carolina Police Department Transitions to Complete SIG SAUER Platform with P320 and P365 Pistols

The Sumter Police Department is a full-service law enforcement agency comprised of seven divisions with 120 sworn officers protecting over 40,000 citizens.

“The decision for us to transition from our GLOCK pistols to a complete SIG SAUER system was based on quality, performance, and safety. In testing we put the P320 and the P365 through the paces and, quite impressively, they both performed beyond expectations throughout our rugged testing requirements,” said Captain Michael Evans, Support Services, Sumter Police Department.

“Additionally, the modularity of the P320 allows our officers to choose a grip based on comfort without the addition of bulky backstraps, and we are really seeing the benefits of this feature in higher qualifying scores,” said Evans. “As for our detectives, the P365 is the perfect pistol because of the small size and high-capacity which makes it easy to conceal without sacrificing rounds. The P365 will also be placed into service as our agency issued backup firearm to replace the current GLOCK 43.”

Sumter, South Carolina Police Department Transitions to Complete SIG SAUER Platform with P320 and P365 Pistols

The SIG SAUER P320 is a modular, striker-fired pistol available in full-size, carry, compact, and subcompact sizing. The serialized trigger group makes the P320 adaptable to multiple caliber, size, and grip options. The P320 is available in 9mm, .357SIG, 40S&W, and .45ACP, with a choice of contrast, or SIGLITE Night Sights. The intuitive 3-point takedown requires no trigger pull for disassembly, and safety features include a striker safety, disconnect safety, and optional manual safety.

The SIG SAUER P365 is an everyday, concealed carry pistol. This high capacity micro-compact pistol is smaller and lighter than other pistols in its class. It features a high-capacity, patented modified double-stack magazine for a 10+1 full-size capacity, with 12-round factory made magazines available for 13-round capacity.

“The Sumter Police Department is our first agency to simultaneously adopt both the P320 and the P365 pistols as their official duty firearms and we could not be more excited about it,” added Tom Jankiewicz, Executive Vice President, law Enforcement Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “The P320 features unprecedented modularity and safety, and the P365 truly offers the ultimate in concealment combined with a full-size carry capacity. The features of both of these pistols is very desirable to law enforcement agencies, and we could not be more pleased to have them recognized by the men and women of the Sumter Police Department in their choice to transition to SIG SAUER.”

The Sumter Police Department will replace their current issue GLOCK pistols with the SIG SAUER P320 and P365 pistols. Local distributor Lawmen’s Distribution LLC in Columbia, South Carolina will provide product locally.

Hudson Mfg is pleased to announce that the H_RD Slides for our Pre-Order Customers are now shipping.
The H_RD slide is a variant of the H9 slide engineered to allow for the optimized mounting of red dot optics. The patent pending H_RD slide mounting plate system allows a single slide to use multiple optics. Initially, Hudson Mfg is offering a choice from three machined, steel mounting plates for:

  • Trijicon RMR
  • Shield RMS
  • Leupold DeltaPoint Pro

 

Every H_RD slide will ship with an anodized aluminum block-off plate for use when an optic is not mounted. The H_RD features a suppressor height front sight to use with the integrated back-up rear sight on the RMS, the optional rear sight on the DeltaPoint Pro, or the integrated suppressor height rear sight on the RMR mounting plate.
The hardened steel mounting plates fit over a robust pivot surface and rotate securely into cuts in the slide. The result is a robust system that prevents forward and rearward motion of the plate and provides the assurance that the H_RD plates will keep your optic in place while shooting. The H_RD slide is engineered to allow for the lowest possible mounting surface without sacrificing weight, reliability, or compromising critical features.
If you find yourself running more than one variant of these fine red-dot optics, additional mounting plates are available separately on our E-Store.

Thank you for your Pre-Orders & Congratulations to our Drawing Winners!

Customers who took advantage of our H_RD pre-sale enjoyed a 9% discount on the H_RD leading up to shipment of the first production. We thank you for being early adopters of Hudson Products.  Early pre-sale customers were entered for a chance to win their choice of popular red dot optics currently supported on the H_RD.  Congratulations to our winners!

  • Julio Henriques – RMR

Travis Gibson Brings Home the Bacon at Surefire World Multi-Gun Championship

Posted on Friday, 26 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Travis Gibson, of Caldwell, Idaho, on the move at the recent Surefire World Multi-Gun Championship at the Pro Gun Club of Boulder City, Nevada.

Competitive shooter and industry insider shares insights on the gear supporting his success

Competitive shooting veteran Travis Gibson wrapped up his 2018 schedule at the Surefire World Multi-gun Championship match earlier this month, narrowly missing a repeat of his 2017 title with a second-place overall finish in the 2X4 Open Division.

Gibson won the Open Division and was the overall match winner in 2017.

The match was held at the Pro Gun Club of Boulder City, Nevada, Oct. 5-7. Approximately 160 competitors—22 in the demanding 2X4 Open Division—participated over two-and-a-half days, shooting 15 stages, including two night stages.

Gibson, of Caldwell, Idaho, finished first on stage one, a rifle, shotgun and pistol-caliber carbine (PCC) stage, and crushed the long-range stage, finishing in first place there, engaging rifle targets from 120 to 360 yards. He also had top-three finishes on eight other stages.

The exciting 2X4 Open Division features fast-paced, dynamic shooting. Shooters use rifle, pistol, shotgun or PCC, and must use at least two guns per stage.

Gibson helped design the Caracal USA Versus rifle with a Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel he uses in competition. Gibson’s rifle is equipped with a Vortex Optics 1-6 scope with an MGM Switchview throw lever, an offset Vortex Optics red dot and a Surefire muzzle break. For ammo, he usesHornady 62-grain TAP for close-range targets and Hornady 75-grain Steel Cased for long-range targets. He carries an EMG Customs pistol chambered in 9mm with a Vortex red dot, which he loads with Hornady 135-grain +P ammo. His shotgun is an X Rail by RCI topped with a Vortex red dot.

Gibson has been wearing Howard Leight by Honeywell hearing protection since he began shooting competitively more than a decade ago, even preceding his formal sponsorship by the brand. He wore the new Howard Leight Impact Sport Bolt electronic earmuff with digital compression circuitry at the Surefire match.

Gibson says the demands of high-speed, multi-gun events favor a fast, low-profile muff design such as the Bolt. “They’re comfortable, fit well, and it’s easy to use them with a shotgun or any shoulder-mounted gun. I really like the fast attack time Bolt’s digital circuitry provides,” says Gibson, referring to the mere .5-milliseconds it takes the muff to detect and attenuate sounds louder than 82dB. “Plus, they have excellent clarity,” he adds. “That’s critical during competition. Being able to interact with the range officers, respond to questions, or hear commands when something like an equipment failure happens is huge.”

Gibson says Impact Sport Bolt’s blend of quality, performance, comfort and pricing makes it a clear winner, for any kind or shooter—or anyone else who values their hearing. “Getting a super quality earmuff for the price point they have is hard to beat. I wear these muffs even when I’m out mowing the lawn,” he says. “I’ll put a set of foamies in with the muffs over them, plug my phone into the external 3.5mm jack and listen to music or whatever. Whether I’m shooting, weed eating, running the chain saw, or whatever, if I’m making noise outside, I’m wearing these muffs,” he says.

The Surefire World Multi-Gun Championship event concludes Gibson’s competitive year. He called the Surefire match a “great time,” where he picked up a lot of points, but “struggled on some of the short/fast stages.” He simply attributed that to a lack of practice, and plans to put more training time in over the coming months. That may be easier said than done; as much as Gibson loves competitive shooting, his main role is Vice President at MGM Targets, where he is laser-focused on getting the company ready for the SHOT Show in January.

Gibson (L) finished second overall in the 2×4 Open Division, posting top-three finishes in nine of the competition’s stages (Match Director, Pete Rensing at right).

WHAT THE HELL IS TMBSTPUW?

Posted on Friday, 26 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Image result for acronyms and abbreviationsTGIF readers, we made it through another week and what a week it’s been! We often remind you that a psychologist is a jackass who studied psychology so they could understand themselves. Mind you, academically you’re taking classes from someone who also became a psychologist so they could understand themselves – a compounding effect!

So, save yourself $150+ per hour by participating in our shoot the shits. Remember that we will never say that you’re in denial.

Speaking of denial, did you like the Hillary Clinton and Democratic Party about-face? They were all resisting and calling for constituents to abandon civility until they take the House and Senate. Well, open mouth, insert foot, and some fruitcake decided to start mailing pipe bombs. So, what does Teflon Hillary do? Goes on national television to say that the country needs to be united and that it needs to elect someone that will unite the country – trying to put the package bombs back on Trump. It takes guts, but I’ll guarantee you that the DNC is hoping she goes away. BUT, just in case, they’ve retasked the Brett Kavanaugh witches to work on her. I also thought it ironic that police which they all criticized put it on the line to keep her and the others safe.

Corvus Defensio AUG Products Now Available from Steyr Arms

Posted on Wednesday, 24 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

 

BESSEMER, Ala. (Oct. 23, 2018) — Steyr Arms announced its exclusive importation partnership with Corvus Defensio at the SHOT Show, and the company had some of the AUG enhancement parts on display. The first of those parts have arrived, and more are on the way. The parts available in the initial batch are the Anti-Rotation QD-Sling Attach, the Enhanced Release Button, the Case Deflector and the M1 Receiver Rail.

The Anti-Rotation QD-Sling Attach solves two problems that often occur when using the original AUG rear sling/sub-assembly retaining bolt in challenging environments. The first is the indexed QD cup accepts a standard QD Sling Swivel (not included), which allows instantaneous sling detachment during disassembly or cleaning. Second, the optional anti-rotation feature eliminates the retaining bolt’s freedom to rotate, which eliminates sling twisting after repeatedly slinging and unslinging the rifle. The aluminum anti-rotation device tension-fits into all AUG trigger packs, and the entire unit is an exact weight match to the original sling/sub-assembly retaining bolt. The Anti-Rotation QD-Sling Attach has a suggested retail of $75.00.

The concave hard-anodized machined aluminum Enhanced Release Button is nearly twice as wide as the original release button, and it can make magazine changes faster and more reliable, especially under stress of competition or in wet or cold environments. Enhanced Release Button has a unique wide-wing design and adds just 0.5 oz. to any AUG when swapped for the original polymer magazine release. It has a suggested retail price of $89.00.

The Case Deflector  ejects spent cases forward or to the side, thus making it ideal to shoot in every position and from either shoulder without any additional modifications. Either right- or left-handed shooters can use the same AUG without changing bolts or ejection port cover. The two-piece, hard-anodized aluminum Case Deflector is simply inserted into the ejection port and expanded securely into place via two setscrews at the rear of the deflector. The Case Deflector can be added to any AUG (except the 9x19mm conversion) with a total added weight of a little more than an ounce. It has a suggested retail of $125.00.

The M1 Receiver Rail was designed for the newest version of the AUG A3, the M1. This rail offers a long, solid mounting solution for the attachment of optical aiming devices, iron sights, laser designators and other accessories. The hard-anodized aluminum M1 Receiver Rail spans from the front sling swivel almost to the ejection port, making it easier to use short-eye-relief optics. It is equipped with one QD-Sling Swivel on each side of the rail for balanced and comfortable attachment of a single-point sling. The M1 Receiver Rail also provides an interface to direct-mount Trijicon ACOG riflescopes. The M1 Receiver Rail weighs 4.1 oz. and has a suggested retail price of $179.00.

For AUG fans, these accessories are must-haves, and none of them permanently alter the user’s stock or rifle. These four enhancement products are currently available at www.steyr-arms.com/us. Check the site regularly, as new AUG accessories are added to the inventory frequently.

Firearms Industry Releases 2018 Midterm Election Scorecard

Posted on Wednesday, 24 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Image result for NSSF logo

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industries, released its 2018 Congressional Scorecard in advance of the upcoming midterm elections to assist voters when deciding which incumbent candidates, based on their voting records, are most likely to support their ability to purchase firearms and to exercise their Constitutional rights.

The scorecard is an assessment of several years of voting records on 10 key issues affecting firearms, ammunition, hunting and the shooting sports. It can be found by visiting www.nssf.org, then clicking the tabs for Government Relations and then Legislative Action Center. The voting records include such issues as concealed carry reciprocity, expanding access to public hunting lands and votes on Supreme Court nominees. The score reflects the voting record and is not an endorsement of a particular candidate.

“The National Shooting Sports Foundation is following a practice similar to that of other trade associations that report on how candidates voted on issues impacting their ability to conduct the lawful commerce in arms and encouraging participation in hunting and the shooting sports,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel for Government and Public Affairs. “It was clear in the last presidential election that the ability to freely exercise Second Amendment rights and fully participate in the shooting sports was a deciding factor for many voters. Members of our industry, gun owners and sportsmen and sportswomen are strongly urged to participate in this election and should be fully informed of how their prospective Members of Congress vote on the issues impacting their livelihood and recreational activities.”

The scorecard is an extension of NSSF’s #GUNVOTE® voter education campaign. #GUNVOTE allows voters to enter their information and find out who their candidates are, where they stand on firearms-related issues and steps to cast a ballot. NSSF urges all voters, “Don’t Risk Your Rights” and visit www.gunvote.org.

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 more than 12,000 manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers.

Howard Leight by Honeywell UVEX Eyewear

Posted on Tuesday, 23 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

P1000143

Back in late September, Howard Leight announced their new line of sport eyewear, which the company markets under the UVEX Hypershock brand. The folks at Honeywell were kind enough to send us a pair to review for our readers so here they are. Initial impression:

  1. comfortable
  2. light
  3. attractive
  4. Street price: ~ $10-$14
  5. ANSI Z87+ **

** A quick note on the ANSI Z87.n specification. The spec is complex and lengthy but thorough; anything that complies with Z87+ means that it has been tested for high velocity impact from foreign matter.

We’ll have a short review in November after we have a couple of range sessions with the glasses.

The P365 is an everyday, concealed carry pistol. The high-capacity, micro-compact pistol is smaller and lighter than other pistols in its class. It features a patented, modified double-stack magazine for a 10+1 full-size capacity, with a 12-round factory-made magazine available for 13-round capacity.

“Receiving this year’s Caliber Award for Best Overall Product in 2018 is a very fitting accolade for the P365 because this pistol checks all the boxes when it comes to ingenuity, value, and uniqueness,” added Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales. “We developed the P365 because we saw a need in the market for a true high-capacity micro-pistol that would meet our high standards for quality and performance. Based on the popularity of the pistol, and the continued demand for it in the marketplace, we proved to be successful in our mission and we could not be more proud to have our achievements with the P365 recognized by these two organizations.”

This is the first NASGW Leadership Award for SIG SAUER, and the second and third NASGW-POMA Caliber Award for SIG SAUER products. In 2017 the SIG SAUER P320 X-Carry received the NASGW-POMA Award for “Best New Handgun.”

HECKLER & KOCH’S VP9-B JOINS THE FAMILY

Posted on Monday, 22 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Columbus, Georgia — Introducing the newest option on the most ergonomic striker fired handgun available, the VP9-B in 9mm. Retail priced at $719, the VP9-B offers a new US-style reversible push button and utilizes the same magazines as the other VP9 Series. The new push-button style mag release option from HK means the VP doesn’t just fit your hand, it fits your shooting style as well.

In any firearm, especially a handgun, the many “touchpoints ”between the shooter and the firearm are critical to consistent, repeatable, performance. Now, no matter how you are built or how you shoot, the VP series just fits.

• Depending on your shooting style, you can choose between a European-style ambidextrous paddle mag release or the new US-style reversible button. This determination must be made at time of purchase, as the two models are not convertible.

• The most ergonomic, adaptable grip frame available allows you to interchange both backstraps and grip panels in 27 unique configurations to fit your hand.

• The VP trigger is a real upgrade over the industry standard of many years. It has a short, light take-up with a solid, clean break; followed by a short, positive reset.

VP9-B models are made in HK’s Oberndorf factory in southwest Germany using all of the company’s advanced barrel manufacturing technologies and high level production of their machined steel slides, polymer frames, and all internal components. HK VP pistols are competitively priced and covered by Heckler & Koch’s lifetime warranty.

STREAMLIGHT® MARKS 10TH YEAR SUPPORTING BREAST CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION®

Posted on Monday, 22 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

More Than $700K in Pink Product Donations Contributed to 14,000 Research Hours

EAGLEVILLE, PA, October 19, 2018 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting equipment, donated more than $700,000 over the past 10 years to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF), a not-for-profit organization seeking to prevent and cure breast cancer.  Each October, Streamlight recognizes Breast Cancer Awareness Month by highlighting its line of pink lights, the proceeds of which are contributed to BCRF.

In 2018, Streamlight donated a total of $30,000 in sales proceeds to BCRF from the pink Nano Light® key chain light, the pink Siege® AA ultra-compact lantern, and the pink Strion® LED tactical light.  For each of the lights, Streamlight donates $1.00, $2.00, and $5.00, respectively.

Over the years, a number of Streamlight employees have been affected by breast cancer.  Given the company’s tight-knit culture, the management team wanted to contribute to research efforts to find a cure.  In 2008, they decided to create pink versions of several of its most popular flashlights and donate a portion of each sale to BCRF.

“We are so proud to be a part of BCRF’s efforts to raise awareness and support research to find a cure for breast cancer,” said Streamlight Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Michael F. Dineen. “Several of our employees are breast cancer survivors, and we were determined to promote this worthy cause to help find a cure.  We are so pleased that our collective contributions to date have resulted in some 14,000 research hours.”

In 2018, the American Cancer Society estimates that nearly 270,000 women will have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and 41,000 will die from the disease.  Men also are affected, with 2,550 men expected to be diagnosed, and 480 expected to die from the disease.

The BCRF pink Nano Light, Siege AA, and Strion LED have MSRPs of $12.48, $52.44, and $196.52, respectively.  All lights come with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Lauder in 1993, BCRF has raised more than $500 million to fuel discoveries in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, survivorship and metastasis; making it one of the largest non-governmental funders of breast cancer research in the world.  For more information about BCRF, visit www.bcrf.org.

GLOCK DEFEATS SIG SAUER’S MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION IN PATENT INFRINGEMENT CASE

Posted on Monday, 22 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

GLOCK refers to media reports discussing pending patent litigation between SIG Sauer, Inc. and GLOCK GmbH.
In January 2018, SIG Sauer, Inc. (SIG) filed a patent infringement suit together with a motion for a preliminary injunction against Glock GmbH (GLOCK Austria) in the Commercial Court Vienna, Austria.
SIG´s motion requested the court to prevent GLOCK from manufacturing and selling some of its most popular pistol models. SIG´s motion for a preliminary injunction was dismissed by the court because GLOCK successfully proved that SIG´s patent is invalid. SIG did not appeal this important ruling, so it is a final decision.
The remaining case in the Commercial Court Vienna is currently stayed because GLOCK filed a motion for a declaration of invalidity of the disputed patent with the Austrian Patent Office in April 2018.
It is highly likely that the Patent Office will grant GLOCK´s motion and declare the disputed SIG patent null and void because GLOCK proved during the preliminary injunction court proceeding that the SIG patent is invalid.
Our industry would be better served by its members putting their efforts and resources into providing the best possible products for our customers and protecting their second amendment rights rather than engaging in meritless litigation.

 

About GLOCK, Inc.

GLOCK is a leading global manufacturer of firearms. The simple, safe design of GLOCK’s polymer-based pistols revolutionized the firearms industry and made GLOCK pistols a favorite of military and law enforcement agencies worldwide and among pistol owners.

Predator Ammunition, Changing the Course for Long Range Shooting

Posted on Friday, 19 October, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

GWT 600x400 logo.jpgARM Logo 2017_3D_transparent.png

The Predator patented projectile features an unparalleled technology accomplishing 1 mile+ shots.

Las Vegas, Nev./Horseshoe Bend, Idaho (October 2018) – Go West Trading (GWT), manufacturers of American-made rifle brass, and American Reserve Munitions, producers of quality ammunition for quality shooters, are proud to announce the game-changing Predator bullet specifically developed for long-range shooting. The Predator, both in the closed tip and open tip projectiles are available in .338 Lapua, .308 Win., .30-06, .300 Win. Mag., 6.5 Creedmoor and .260 Remington with other rifle calibers in development.

The patented process created from a monolithic lathe-turned projectile using proprietary brass and a patented parasitic drag elimination design on the tail of the bullet results in a round that eliminates dynamic transition instability during transonic flight speeds. What this means to the long-range shooter is that the bullet moves through transonic speed and into subsonic speed without any destabilization extending accuracy and distance by at least 20 percent.

“The Predator projectile is an ultra-long-range projectile,” Brian Lockerman, president of Go West Trading explained. “Essentially, the patented design defeats the problem of parasitic chaotic air flow behind the bullet. As air passes over the surface of the bullet, there is no drop at the base to create turbulence or instability. Instead the Predator projectile design forms a perfect cone shape pulse wave pressure shield behind the bullet. This results in a super sleek slipstream which virtually eliminates the airstream drag from ever forming.”

American Reserve Munitions (ARM) and Predator inventor Stephen Damron, U.S. Army Veteran, long-range shooting competitor and president of Dynamic Research LLC, worked together to develop the Predator projectile load using GWT’s match-grade quality brass for the .338 Lapua, 6.5 and .260 rounds (additional rounds in development). The results are bullets with velocities of over 3,000 fps and with higher accuracy performance by approximately 20 percent.

“The Predator is clearly the top-rated, long-range bullet on the market today,” Vaughn Wilkes of ARM explained. “Since the Civil War, there has been little improvement in bullet design, until the Predator, which takes advantage of all the ballistic technology today. For extreme long-range shooters, the Predator is really the only bullet to achieve this kind of success.”

Our goal, which we have met, is to provide hand finished holsters each meeting our exacting standards and we can do that with immediate delivery. Shooters may customize the retention and cant to their exact liking. Highest quality hardware provides lifetime service. Each unit includes our 1.5″ belt clip, yet other hardware may be easily substituted. It is available boxed or bagged with eye catching displays.” said MFT’s Vice President David Edelman.
