Fast Metal to Introduce New Products at 2025 SHOT Show

Tuesday, January 14th, 2025

Yuma, AZ – Jan. 14 – Fast Metal, manufacturer of premium sunglass frames machined from the highest and strongest grade alloys known to man, has announced that they will be unveiling several new products at their booth (#31102) at SHOT Show 2025, in Las Vegas, NV, to include their newest line of Military eye wear.

Fast Metal® will unveil the brand-new additions to their Military line, along with the addition of several other glasses to their sunglasses / lifestyle side of the house.

The Fast Metal Military Line of eyewear features technology in Ballistic Performance, meeting or exceeding MIL-PRF-32432A clause 3.8.4.1 Ballistic fragmentation characteristics Class 1 spectacles and ANSI Z87.1-2020 clause 7.1 Impact-Rated Protector Requirements (Z87+). The eyewear lenses are made of highly durable, optical-grade polycarbonate and provide 100% UV-A-B-C protection; and come equipped with an anti-fog coating, maintaining clarity in extreme conditions, and lasting 10-20 times longer than competing anti-fog solutions.

The new Military Line of Fast Metal eyewear consists of:

HALEN: The Halen eyewear system with a wraparound design provides unobstructed field-of-view and ballistic protection for fast-paced tactical, special ops, and military operations. Boasting interchangeable 100% UV protection lenses that are resistant to scratches, and have an anti-fog coating, preventing the eyewear from fogging in the heat of the mission.

OZZ: The Ozz system design sits cleaner against the face and integrates with helmets and head subsystems. The adjustable arms bend to shape and extend for optimal fit and comfort, with a brow design that integrates with helmets, anti-fog performance, customizable fit, and lens swap capabilities.

FONTANA: Fontana eyewear system features a browless design, anti-fog performance, customizable fit, and rapid lens swap capabilities. Fontana also exceeds stringent military ballistic impact requirements. The unique style of Fontana delivers numerous advantages over traditional ballistic eyewear – it allows airflow to provide unparalleled venting, exceptional anti-fog capabilities and allows for unobstructed views while in a head-down or prone position. The temple arm design works seamlessly with head-borne equipment for optimal comms compatibility and performance in the field while offering all-day comfort.

ZANT: The Zant eyewear system features a high performance, scratch-resistant, anti-fog lens, offering superior ballistic protection and flawless optics, providing extreme low-profile defense for fast-moving, dynamic missions. The adjustable head strap keeps eyewear secure during rigorous activity.

Announcing the Launch of the Staccato HD Family of Pistols

Tuesday, January 14th, 2025

FLORENCE, Texas, January 14th, 2025 – Staccato, the creators of the Staccato 2011® pistol, Staccato Ammo, and Staccato Ranch, is excited to announce the introduction of an all-new family of 2011 pistol: Staccato HD.

Born out of direct feedback from Staccato’s elite law enforcement and government end users, the Staccato HD incorporates a wide array of new features and technology resulting in the most technologically advanced 2011 pistol design ever brought to market.

The HD’s grip module is built around the Glock pattern magazine, already widely used by the law enforcement community and commonly available to all shooters in the retail market.

The HD’s controls are fully ambidextrous, with dual-sided safety and slide release levers as well as a swappable magazine release. There are also forward thumb index points machined into both sides of the frame.

Our signature forward slide serrations have been re-designed to wrap over the top of the slide with a more aggressive profile, assisting manipulations from the front of the pistol while wearing gloves or under adverse conditions.

Internal upgrades include a buffered, flat-wire recoil system and active firing pin block. Our updated HOST optic mounting system allows direct-to-slide mounting for the most popular miniature red dot optics. The rear iron sight is mounted directly to the slide, forward of the optic to negate the need for BUIS-equipped plates or adapters.

The first pistol to launch in this family is the Staccato P4. The P4 is built around a footprint that’s become increasingly popular among both armed professionals and citizens alike: a 4-inch barrel and slide mated to a full-size grip. The P4 grip will accept any full-size Glock-pattern magazine, but will ship with 18-round, heat-treated carbon steel magazines finished in a low-friction coating.

Coming in spring of 2025, the Staccato P4.5, built on the same full-size frame, features a 4.5-inch DLC barrel with a “sight block” design that increases non-reciprocating weight at the muzzle to help reduce felt recoil while preserving the faster cycle speed of the 4-inch slide.

The Staccato HD line has been extensively tested for reliability, endurance, and harsh environment conditions both at the factory and by the highest tiers of Federal Law Enforcement.

The Staccato HD P4 will be available for purchase on January 28th, with an MSRP of $2499, and the HD P4.5 to be released at $2699. The HD line offers a new, ruggedized option for 2011 users looking for reliability under the toughest conditions while still experiencing the world’s best shooting handgun. Only from Staccato.

HOP Munitions Unveils Baller .68 Caliber Projectiles: The Ultimate Innovation in Less Lethal Tactical Ammunition

Monday, January 13th, 2025

HOP Munitions is proud to announce the exclusive launch of the revolutionary Baller .68 caliber projectiles, a groundbreaking advancement in less lethal ammunition. Engineered in partnership with Roborounds, these projectiles address a critical gap in law enforcement operations by combining enhanced glass-breaking capabilities with an OC agent or UV Marker.

A Tactical Game-Changer for Law Enforcement
In high-stakes situations like barricaded suspects or crowd control, reliable less lethal options are essential. Standard polymer rounds often fail to break through tempered auto glass, leaving officers at a tactical disadvantage. The Baller projectile shatters these limitations—literally. With the ability to break tempered auto glass from up to 50 yards, these projectiles deliver precision and performance unmatched by conventional .68 caliber rounds.

“Baller projectiles are designed to bridge the gap between safety and effectiveness. We’re committed to equipping law enforcement with tools that ensure control while minimizing risk to everyone involved.”

Innovative Features That Redefine Performance
Baller projectiles stand apart thanks to the following:

Unmatched Glass-Breaking Ability: Penetrates tempered auto glass at 50 yards using a standard .68 caliber launcher at 240–300 fps.

Reduced Penetration Risk: Designed to mitigate harm after breaching glass, ensuring the safety of individuals inside the vehicle.

Optional Dual-Action Payloads: Can deliver OC powder or UV marking agents for swift de-escalation post-barrier breach.

Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with existing .68 caliber launchers, making adoption easy for law enforcement agencies.

Addressing Tactical Challenges with Confidence
Baller projectiles enable law enforcement officers to respond confidently, from vehicle barricades to volatile crowd control scenarios. Their precision minimizes collateral damage, and their innovative payload options streamline operational efficiency.

“By offering a safer, more effective solution for glass-breaking scenarios, Baller projectiles provide agencies with a critical tool to enhance their response capabilities.”

Availability
Baller .68 caliber projectiles are available exclusively through HOP Munitions. Agencies seeking to equip their departments with these projectiles should contact max@hopmunitions.com for more details.
