High Threat Concealment – Defend with Confidence From the HTC Vantage

Monday, May 1st, 2017

Newport News, VA— 4/21/17 — Today High Threat Concealment (HTC™) announced the company’s flagship Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) Holster line will now be called “Vantage™”. The popular product line in both civilian and government markets has evolved through fine-tuning the manufacturing process of the holster that started it all. At the core of the HTC consumer products division is this high-grade compilation of countless hours of design engineering and field testing that began over five years ago by two US contractors in Afghanistan driven by a need for more effective solutions to tactical problems.

As the name implies, these holsters offer shooters unsurpassed quality and craftsmanship. The Vantage™ provides a comfortable, secure, and custom-engineered fit for your weapon while minimizing the visible print of the holster. The Vantage™ is currently available for most popular semi-auto pistols. HTC’s OWB holsters come standard with rugged Zytel® belt loops that fit 1.5″ to 1.75″ width belts and a 0° cant or “straight drop/draw.” Those who wish to run their holster with a 15º or FBI-style forward cant can elect to do so using a pair of optional closed belt loops that allow for adjustable cant and ride height.  Shooters are also able to adjust the fitment and tension on non-light-bearing holsters to suit their individual preference, using a tension adjustment feature that precisely adds or removes pressure from the holster’s capture feature.

“James [Overton, President and co-founder of HTC] and I started years ago repairing broken holsters and equipment while working downrange.  What began as a couple of guys making their own thermoformed pancake holsters has continued to evolve into the Vantage Holster. Not content to merely make good holsters, we wanted to go beyond what we typically expected of an OWB holster and keep pushing to excellence.,” said Adam Garrison, COO at High Threat Concealment (HTC™).

Each Vantage™ Holster is made to order from premium grade Boltaron® and built to match the specific make and weapon model including most after-market features. Every HTC holster is then hand finished, inspected, and checked for proper fitment using the actual weapon and accessory combination as ordered. Vantage™ Holsters are currently available for pistols from Beretta, Century Arms / Canik, CZ, Glock, Heckler & Koch, IWI, Kriss, Ruger, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory, Walther Arms, and most 1911 models. 
 
Vantage™ Holsters start at $94 and can be found at www.highthreatconcealment.com.

Crimson Trace Adds Additional Laserguard Pros for Glocks

Saturday, April 29th, 2017

For Release: April 28, 2017

HyperFocal: 0

(Wilsonville, OR)—Crimson Trace announces the latest product additions to the company’s growing Laserguard® Pro™ laser sights series—the Laserguard Pro laser sight and white light models engineered to fit full-size, compact and sub-compact Glock® pistols. The new products are the LL-807G (green) and the LL-807 red laser sight and white light for full- and compact-size Glock pistols. Additionally, the newly released LL-810 Laserguard Pro is designed to fit numerous sub-compact Glock pistols.

Glock pistol designs incorporate a wide assortment of trigger guards sizes and shapes.

  • The LL-807 series Crimson Trace® Laserguard Pro laser sights and light combinations are designed to fit securely onto numerous Glock pistols, including: Third Generation 17, 19, 22, 23, 31, 32, 34, 35, 37 and 38. These products will also securely attach to Glock Gen-4 models 17, 19, 22, 23, 31, 34, 37 and 38 pistols.
  • The LL-810 Laserguard Pro laser sights and lights will fit these longer trigger guard Glock pistol models: Third Generation 26, 27, 29, 30, 33, 36 and 4th Gen 26, 27, 29, 30 and 33.
  • For Glock pistols with shorter trigger guards, the LL-810 Laserguard Pro fits these pistols: Gen 3 models 26, 27, 29, 30, 33 and 36 and Gen 4 models 26, 27, 29, 30 and 33.
  • Should you have problems determining which model Glock is to be fitted with a Crimson Trace Laserguard Pro laser sight, visit Glock.com and view the pistols display area in the website.

    These new Laserguard Pros feature Crimson Trace’s award-winning and patented Instinctive ActivationTM, a feature designed to activate the laser when the firearm is held in a normal firing grip—and when the user is ready to fire.  No other product within the laser sight industry offers this capability—the top reason why Crimson Trace is the undisputed leader in the laser sight market. The light can be operated in four modes: laser + light, laser only, light only and laser and light strobe. The unit also has a master on/off switch should the user not want to engage the laser or light.

    Released in 2015, Crimson Trace’s Laserguard Pro laser sights and lights incorporate a powerful 150-lumen LED white light with either a red or green laser diode within a sturdy and compact housing that’s simple to install onto the pistol’s trigger guard. The laser sight can be adjusted for windage and elevation. The necessary installation screws, plus battery for operation, are included in the product packaging. The Laserguard Pro LL-807 and LL-810 units are also covered under Crimson Trace’s popular Free Batteries for Life program. Manufacturer Suggested Retail Prices for Laserguard Pros begin at $279.

    Crimson Trace also offers Laserguard Pro light and laser sights for pistols manufactured by Smith & Wesson and Springfield Armory. There are also Laserguard Pro laser sights and lights available for Glock’s Model 42 and 43 pistols. Crimson Trace offers several models of laser sights packaged with inside-the-waistband holsters. Details on additional available holsters can be found at www.holsterresourceguide.com.

    Bushnell Announces New Best-In-Class Engage Optics Line at 2017 NRA Show

    Friday, April 28th, 2017

    REN21044DG_2_10x44_Standard1_LG - Copy

    OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – April 27, 2017 – Bushnell, an industry leader in high-performance optical solutions for more than 65 years, announces a new line of high-quality, performance-driven optics for modern hunters and shooters. The new Engage riflescopes and binoculars represent the latest evolution in Bushnell optics.

    “The Engage line is built to outperform all other comparable scopes and binoculars and completely dominate the elements,” said Curtis Smith Global Product Director for Bushnell. “The only sure thing about any environment is that it will change, but Engage optics were built from the inside out to deliver world-class performance every time, in every condition.”

    Engage scopes and binoculars boast fully multi-coated glass that captures bright, clear images while preventing glare and actively repelling water, oil, dust and debris. The new
    EXO Barrier is the absolute best protective lens coating technology Bushnell has ever developed. Added at the end of the coating process, EXO Barrier molecularly bonds to the lens and fills microscopic pores in the glass. The result is an ultra-slick coating that repels water, oil, fog, dust and debris. Rain, snow, fingerprints and dirt will not stick. Plus, the bonded coating will not fade from the passage of time or normal wear and tear.

    Engage riflescopes feature a new look, upgraded features and a brand new Deploy MOA reticle that offers 1-MOA windage and elevation hashmarks. Dialing in these scopes is easier than ever with several configurations featuring Toolless Zero Reset Locking Turrets.

    Available in nine configurations from 2-7x36mm up to 6-24x50mm, all Engage riflescopes feature Butler Creek Flip Caps, the new Deploy MOA Reticle and Bushnell’s new Ironclad Warranty. Five models feature a 1-inch tube and low-profile, capped elevation and windage turrets. An additional four models boast rugged 30mm tubes and the new Toolless Zero Reset Locking Turrets.

    “Engage scopes offer a full suite of the modern features hunters and shooters are looking for,” said Greg Palkowitsh, Riflescope Product Manager. “The Deploy Reticle and Zero Reset Targets give shooters all the confidence they need for mid- to long-range shots.”

    Adding to this best-in-class optic line, Engage also includes premium binoculars. Like the riflescopes, Engage binoculars are backed with the all-weather assurance of Bushnell’s exclusive EXO Barrier that repels dirt, debris, oil and moisture.

    With four configurations from 8x42mm to 12x50mm, these stunning binoculars feature fully multi-coated optics to offer maximum brightness and clarity, and a lightweight and rugged chassis. ED Prime Glass ensures razor-sharp images while the PC-3 Phase Coating enhances resolution and contrast.

    “The image is bright, clear and sharp thanks to ED Prime Glass and our dielectric phase-coated prisms,” said Steve Smith, Binocular Product Manager. “But these are rugged binoculars, too. The chassis is built to take a beating, and a locking diopter permanently secures the desired focus setting, so you can maintain focus and quickly engage what’s ahead.”

    The new line will be unveiled at the 2017 NRA Meetings and Exhibits Show in Atlanta, Georgia, April 27 to 30. All attendees are encouraged to stop by the Bushnell booth (#2542) during the Show to visit their favorite celebrities and learn more about the Engage Optics line and all of the latest products offered by Bushnell.

    “No matter which Engage you choose,” Curtis Smith added, “you’ll get best-in-class performance at no risk with the Bushnell’s new Ironclad Warranty. Dollar for dollar these optics will outperform every competitor!”

    Bushnell, a Vista Outdoor brand, is one of the most recognizable and trusted names in precision hunting, tactical and recreational optics and accessories. For more information, visit www.bushnell.com.

    Ruger Introduces An Integrally Suppressed Barrel for the 10/22 Takedown

    Friday, April 28th, 2017

    Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) proudly introduces the Silent-SR® ISB for the 10/22 Takedown® platform. The ISB, or Integrally Suppressed Barrel, is an exciting addition to the Ruger® Silent-SR family that delivers quiet and accurate performance in a compact and truly user-serviceable package.

    Known for its unrelenting reliability, durability and accuracy, the 10/22 Takedown rifle is the ideal platform for an integral suppressor. The Silent-SR ISB quickly and easily assembles to any Ruger 10/22 Takedown or 22 Charger™ Takedown, and features an induction-hardened breech with cold hammer-forged barrel that provide easy takedown and accurate return-to-zero – the same elements that have made the 10/22 Takedown an instant classic worthy of its heritage.

    Reducing sound pressure levels of .22 LR to an average of 113.2 dB with standard velocity ammunition, a 10/22 Takedown rifle equipped with the Silent-SR ISB is as quiet as a bolt-action rifle with a thread-on silencer. Its compact, 16.12″ barrel length makes the Silent-SR ISB easy to handle, and the relatively long barrel of the Silent-SR ISB (compared to other integral suppressors) means the bullet generates energy near that of a 16″ gun for consistent, accurate and effective performance on target. The pushed-cone baffle geometry has been stretched to utilize the volume under the barrel maximizing suppression of the gunshot without disturbing the travel of the bullet.

    Disassembly for cleaning is as simple as separating the barrel from your firearm and loosening the Silent-SR ISB’s single assembly screw using the included 5/32″ hex key tool. Once loose, pull the screw to remove all six 17-4 stainless steel baffles, spacer and front cap free of the sleeve for cleaning. The sealed baffles keep the fouling away from the serialized sleeve, yet easily come apart even after thousands of rounds. Finished with Cerakote, the Silent-SR ISB is engineered and built for a lifetime of hard use without clogged ports, seized components or loss of suppression that often plague other integrally suppressed rimfire barrels.

    Suppressed firearms help to preserve our hearing, make verbal communication on the range easier and make shooting more fun. Paired with the Ruger 10/22 Takedown, the Silent-SR ISB makes the perfect training, plinking and small-game hunting platform.

    For more information on the Silent-SR ISB or to learn more about the extensive line of award-winning Ruger firearms, visit Ruger.com or Facebook.com/Ruger. To find accessories for Ruger firearms, visit ShopRuger.com or your local independent retailer of Ruger firearms.

    Legal Manufacturing, LLC To Release NIB BATTLEWORN Mod 2 GLOCK 21 At 2027NRA Annual Meeting In Atlanta

    Friday, April 28th, 2017

    Atlanta, GA, April 27, 2017 – Legal Manufacturing, LLC, an industry leader in nickel boron plating is releasing their latest offering, the NIB BATTLEWORN® Mod 2 Glock® 21 at the 2017 NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits (NRAAM). The NIB BATTLEWORN® Mod 2 Glock® 21 is a factory Glock® modified to enhance the functionality, balance, and assist with weapon manipulation. Legal Manufacturing has added front serrations and weight reducing side and top slide cuts, removed finger grooves, reduced the pistol grip, undercut the trigger guard, stippled texture on the lower grip frame, installed an NIB BATTLEWORN® plated SSVi Tyr trigger which is designed to be the next evolution in an EDC/duty trigger and Glock® factory night sights. The factory Glock® 21 slide is plated in Legal Manufacturing’s patent pending NIB BATTLEWORN® nickel boron. The factory Glock® 21 barrel and optional SilencerCo threaded barrel and cap are plated in a matte variant of Legal Manufacturing, LLC’s proprietary NIB ONE® nickel boron. Legal Manufacturing’s nickel boron plated surfaces reduce the operating friction of the firearm due to the low static coefficient of friction without the need for lubrication. The NIB BATTLEWORN® MOD 2 Glock® 21 is a performance firearm that does not sacrifice Glock® factory reliability.

    For 2017 NRAAM, the American Suppressor Association (ASA) has teamed with its sponsors to raise money for ASA by auctioning off five suppressed custom Legal Manufacturing NIB BATTLEWORN® Mod 2 Glock® 21 packages. All five packages are identical, with one notable exception: they each include a suppressor from a different manufacturer: Silencerco Omega45K, Gemtech Lunar 45, Sig Sauer SRD45, Yankee Hill Machine Sidewinder 45 and Rugged Suppressors Obsidian. All proceeds of the auction will go directly towards the ASA’s fight to pass pro-suppressor reform on both the State and Federal Levels.

    Legal Manufacturing, LLC is a producer of NIB BATTLEWORN® plating, a low-observable, patent-pending nickel-boron plating treatment that offers superior scratch and wear characteristics while simultaneously reducing friction to aluminum, steel, and titanium firearm surfaces. NIB BATTLEWORN® creates a smooth and uniform plating barrier, increases the surface hardness of the plated part to over 70 Rockwell hardness, and produces a surface that is superior to competing plating systems.

    OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – April 27, 2017 – Butler Creek, maker of smart, field-proven hunting and shooting accessories, announces the new ASAP Magazine loaders are now available. Come see them and learn why “Shooting USA” host John Scoutten has chosen these loaders as his go-to option at the Vista Outdoor booth (#2542) during the 2017 NRA Meetings and Exhibits Show in Atlanta, Georgia, April 27 to 30.

    Available in Universal Single Stack, Universal Double Stack, AK-47/GALIL and AR15 magazine configurations these loaders are extremely easy to use and provide speed and relief from “shooter’s thumb.” The Universal Single Stack and Universal Double Stack ASAP loaders work with a large majority of common magazines between 9mm and .45 ACP (including .380 ACP for the Double Stack Loader).

    “They are extremely easy to use,” said Butler Creek Product Manager Will Hemeyer. “Simply push the mag loader down, insert the round below the feed lips, and raise the loader up. The cartridge is seated and magazine loaded… just like that.”

    The ASAP Universal AR15/M16 Mag Loader offers three ways to load MSR magazines—and none involve the user’s thumbs. Loose ammo can be loaded one round at a time with a simple click into place.

    “Or, users can engage the loading arm to expedite the process,” Hemeyer said. “The loading arm can handle up to 10 rounds of loose ammo, or rounds held in a stripper clip. The rounds are locked into the mag with a quick push.”

    Consumers can try the new loaders at the 2017 NRA Meetings and Exhibits Show in Atlanta, Georgia, April 27 to 30. Butler Creek brand ambassador John Scoutten will be on hand to answer questions.

All feature a 21-inch Sporter barrel and ergonomic, walnut-stained hardwood stock with unique, modern checkering. A 10-round rotary magazine and Savage’s accuracy-boosting adjustable AccuTrigger are also standard.

    The new single-shot Stevens 301 features a crisp, reliable break action and rugged, modern synthetic stock that withstands brutal abuse afield. It is available in .410, 12- and 20-gauge models.

    Precision long-range shooters looking for the incredibly accurate, high-speed, low-recoil performance of 6mm Creedmoor will now find it as one of the choices in Savage’s proven Model 10 BA Stealth and Model 10 GRS rifles.

    The short-action Model 10 BA Stealth is a lightweight, compact long-range chassis gun featuring a factory-blueprinted Model 10 barreled action mated to a custom version of Drake Associates’ Hunter/Stalker monolithic chassis. For its part, the Model 10 GRS houses a full suite of accuracy-enhancing features firmly within a GRS stock made of 15 percent fiberglass-reinforced Durethan, with 65 percent glass bedding material.

    Serious hunters know the fast, hard-hitting .338 Federal delivers the range and terminal energy to topple any North American big game animal. For 2017, Savage adds the hotshot short-action cartridge as an option for its MSR 10 Hunter, a lightweight modern sporting rifle purpose-built for high-powered big game performance.
