Wanamassa, N.J. (January 2017) – Eagle Imports, Inc., the exclusive distributor of Metro Arms, SPS, Bersa®, Comanche, Grand Power, Llama and Avidity Arms firearms products, is pleased to announce the debut of the Avidity Arms PD10 at booth #2610 at the SHOT Show 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Designed by renowned defensive shooting instructor, Rob Pincus, this Made-in-America pistol offers a high capacity, slim, single stack, lightweight, striker-fired pistol with concave sights that can be used for one-handed reloads. It’s ideal for concealed carry and personal defense and retails at a price that’s easy on the wallet.

“I’ve taught defensive shooting skills to many thousands of people over the past couple of decades. When it comes to defensive handguns, I’ve seen what works and seen what doesn’t. I’ve talked about preferences, priorities and problems with students, peer instructors and firearms industry professionals for immeasurable hours. There’s a list of features that in my experience are ideal for a defensive pistol and there are some variables that adjust to fit specific people, roles and conditions,” said Rob Pincus, owner of I.C.E. Training Company. “There is no one perfect gun for every person and every scenario, but I know it is possible to design and manufacture a pistol that fits as many people as possible and will serve them well in worst case scenarios. The PD10 is that pistol, especially for those interested in a full-size handgun feel while shooting, but with the carryability of a single stack design. I didn’t see anything on the market that had all the features of the PD10 in a modern firearm. If you’re interested in armed personal defense, we built the PD10 for you.”

Slumberjack Introduces Proprietary DST Camo Pattern For New 2017 Fall Outerwear Line

Sunday, January 1st, 2017

Leading with their Perception color, SJK’s DST camouflage apparel provides cutting-edge concealment and performance

perception-dst

Gunbarrel, Colo. (For Release on January 1, 2017) – Slumberjack (SJK), known for hunting, camping, and overland gear, is further cementing their leadership role in the hunting market with the launch of their proprietary DST (Disruptive Shadow Technology) camouflage. This cutting-edge camo pattern will be introduced on their first ever, new for fall 2017 apparel line.

Inspired by the shadows and negative spaces of natural foliage, Slumberjack’s DST blends sharp outlines with blurred, shadow-like shapes to effectively disrupt the human form at long range or in close quarters. By creating an illusion through depth of field and color adaptation, hunters will blend in with varied terrain for ultimate concealment.

SJK will debut the new DST Perception pattern on their highly anticipated, new for fall hunting apparel at the 2017 SHOT Show.

“As an artist and designer I’ve always been intrigued by camouflage design. Even before my time in the Army I had started collecting various camouflage patterns from all over the world. Working for SJK, I was excited to get an opportunity to create a camouflage pattern of my own design from the ground up,” says Vince Mares, SJK design manager. “After an extensive exploration of various graphic-based patterns, I found that nature itself had the best solution with its shapes, colors and shadows. What I extracted from nature is not only effective but has great aesthetics. I am really proud of what we now call the Perception DST camouflage pattern and I am excited to use it on my next hunt.”

The new fall 2017 apparel line consists of four core pieces; a rain jacket and pants and a DriDown and synthetic jacket. Fully-featured and equipped with Perception DST camouflage, each piece is made with “quiet touch” fabrics and DWR finishes to keep hunters undetectable and dry in the field. Built to be packable, SJK’s apparel line fits easily into day or overnight packs.

For hunts where the forecast calls for rain, snow, or both, SJK offers the Windage jacket (MSRP $179.95) and pants (MSRP $149.95). A 3-layer waterproof / breathable laminate sheds rain and melting snow while allowing internal moisture to escape. Articulation in the elbows, knees and crotch provide outstanding mobility while PU coated #7 zippers keep wind and rain out. A relaxed, athletic cut is designed for comfort and layering in colder weather.

For cold weather hunts where weight and packability are crucial, the Incog (MSRP $139.95) down jacket is the perfect choice. Insulated with 600 fill-power DriDown insulation (ordinary down treated with a hydrophobic finish) in the body for enhanced performance in damp conditions and synthetic insulation in the shoulders for durability while wearing a pack, the Incog packs and layers easily while providing outstanding warm on the hunt.

Synthetic insulation is the way to go as they are impervious to wet weather, the Grit (MSRP $99.95) jacket is stuffed with 60 grams / square meter of SJK’s SlumberLoft-PRO synthetic insulation. Packable, warm, and ready to take the edge off cold days in the field, the Grit is made to take abuse and come back for more.

Each rifle comes with a 16″ target crowned barrel made of 4140 steel with a 1:9 twist, and true to its name is lacking in “features” such as a pistol grip, muzzle brake, and forward grip that would define it as an “assault weapon” under California law. Additionally, every Featureless Rifle comes complete with the new Hera Arms California-compliant stock. These rifles are currently available for pre-order, and will be available in 6-8 weeks.
