ASA Hosts Freedom Raffle

Saturday, July 22nd, 2023

ATLANTA, GA – The American Suppressor Association (ASA) has partnered with some of the top brands in the gun industry to raffle over $12,000 in prizes.  This raffle will run from July 14th  through July 31st, 2023, participate and help protect your rights.

Owning a suppressor is your constitutionally protected right. However, anti-gun legislators and activists are fighting to deny your rights! Eight states and the District of Columbia still don’t allow law-abiding citizens to possess suppressors. Nine U.S. Senators and fifteen members of the House openly support legislation to ban and confiscate every legally obtained suppressor in the United States. Noncompliance to their tyranny would turn you into a felon!

This year, state legislators in Virginia, New Mexico, Colorado, and Washington all tried to ban or restrict your ability to use these hearing safety devices. This year it happened in four states. Next year it will happen more.

Help ASA protect your right to own and use suppressors by buying a raffle ticket today.  Your donations are the lifeblood that gives us the resources to fight for your rights!  Visit asaraffle.com

The Freedom Raffle Prize Packages:

– Yankee Hill Machine Diamond Specter XL chambered in 5.56 paired with a Vortex Sparc AR Red Dot optic and a YHM Turbo 3 suppressor.  $200 Tax Stamp covered by Silencer Shop, $100 gift card from Cole-Tac and an ASA Owl Leather Patch Hat.  Package Value:  $2,725

Rab Launches Material Facts on Apparel and Sleeping Bags From This Autumn

Friday, July 21st, 2023

Your chance to find out transparent sustainability information and make an informed purchasing choice 

British outdoor brand Rab is clearing up the confusion many of us often feel when trying to understand sustainability jargon and logos on outdoor products. From September 2023, Material Facts will be available for all Rab apparel and sleeping bags, accessible online through scanning a QR code on the product hangtag. You will be able find out more detailed, easy-to-understand information on recycled content, fluorocarbon status and production information.

Rab doesn’t believe in hiding behind a ‘green logo’ or ‘eco-friendly’ label. A quick scan of the QR code on your smartphone will take you to a clear and accurate Material Facts sustainability data table. This information will enable you to make your own educated choice, before buying a Rab clothing or sleeping bag product.

Rab and Lowe Alpine’s parent company Equip Outdoor Technologies Ltd., frustrated with a lack of clarity around sustainability criteria, created the pioneering Material Facts sustainability information tables to drive a focus on accuracy and transparency, as product director Tim Fish explains: “Communicating sustainability information is complex and means different things to different people, often leading to misleading claims and greenwashing. We’ve developed our non-branded Material Facts program to provide consumers with enough information to make their own educated purchasing decisions. The program leads the way by taking into account consumers’ and retailers’ demands for accurate and honest sustainability product claims.”

By the end of 2024, all Rab and Lowe Alpine packs, equipment and accessories will also include Material Facts tables, and more criteria will be added in the future.

Equip will continue to drive industry-wide engagement to constantly improve Material Facts and to jointly create an industry standard with other brands and industry stakeholders. This is a clear step forward in terms of aligned accurate, honest and transparent CSR communication.

ITS Tactical SPIE Marker

Friday, July 21st, 2023

[ARLINGTON, TX, 07/21/2023]. Imminent Threat Solutions is proud to release the SPIE® (Special Purpose Insertion Extraction) Marker. Hidden in plain sight, it offers six valuable Escape & Evasion tools, disguised as an ordinary everyday permanent marker. Whether you need it to function as an Impact Tool, escape from illegal restraint or even pick a lock, the SPIE® Marker has you covered.

A quick at-home conversion is all you need to prep your SPIE® Marker. Simply remove the standard permanent marker tip, add the included Micro Tradecraft Toolset into the marker body (give it a quick tap on the table to seat it, so it doesn’t rattle) and put in the Impact Insert. 

While the Impact Tool needs no specific instructions on usage, the ideal way to access the tools in an emergency is with a quick snap of the insert and the marker body. The best part is that the Injection-Molded ABD Impact Insert is stronger than the marker body, so the body will be what breaks. Simply grab another permanent marker you have laying around and you can set up the SPIE® Marker again for use. Just in case, we’ve included a spare Impact Insert as well.

Imminent Threat Solutions provides indispensable skill-sets and products to explore your world and prevail against all threats.

Raven Concealment Reintroduces Limited Time Iconic Phantom Holster

Thursday, July 20th, 2023

Raven Concealment Systems has turned back time to 2015 to bring you a chance to own the concealment holster that started it all – the legendary RCS Phantom.

Over the next several weeks, they will be offering limited-edition drops of Phantom and Phantom LC holsters for dozens of different pistols. What makes this opportunity even more rare is that most of the model-fits we will be releasing have never been available before.

The Phantom was the very first modular, polymer, pancake-style holster. Invented by RCS in 2006 and made wildly popular by being featured in the Magpul Dynamics DVD series, the Phantom was always a highly-coveted holster. So coveted, in fact, that customers who ordered a Phantom between 2009 and 2015 had to be willing to wait through a lead time of 16-18 weeks.

Over the years, countless holster companies, big and small, have come to base their own concealment holsters on the Phantom’s trailblazing design. It’s safe to say that the Phantom is the archetype of the modern concealed-carry holster.

This promotion revives the quintessential Phantom experience:  The sleek lines, body-hugging contours, and modularity allow you to wear IWB or OWB. The envy of all your friends when you show up rocking the most sought-after concealment holster of our generation.

RCS will release new model-fits a few at a time over the next several weeks, so you’ll have to watch for upcoming press releases announcing which models are dropping each time.

Thus far, RCS has announced the following Phantom SKUs:

– CZ P-10C
– Glock 17 Gen 5
– Glock 48 MOS
– Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro
– Staccato C2
– Staccato P
– Walther PDP

…and the following Phantom LC SKUs:

– CZ P-10C + Streamlight TLR-7A
– Sig P365 XMACRO + Streamlight TLR-7A
– Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro + Streamlight TLR-7 Sub
– Staccato C2 + Streamlight TLR-7A
– Staccato P + Surefire X-300U A/B
– Walther PDP + Streamlight TLR-7A

RCS is expected to release additional new model fits early next week, with and without lights, as well as some revolver fits.

The Phantom Summer event is being conducted by pre-order ONLY. You will be charged when you place your order. The estimated lead time is 4-6 BUSINESS WEEKS from the time of order.

Using the combat-specific ICEPLATE EXO® architecture as a foundation, ICEPLATE EXO®-SLK HiVis has organic SwiftClip compatibility to easily connect a matching HiVis MOLLE Placard for carrying essential equipment like radios, pens, first aid, external batteries, smartphones or just about any other tool you might need at work. A large Velcro Loop field makes branding or job identification incredibly easy.

ICEPLATE EXO®-SLK HiVis packs the power and durability found on ICEPLATE EXO®, but without all of the highly technical features specific to armed combat applications. This trade greatly increases accessibility for everyone: private and professional users alike.
