Federal Ammunition Announces an All-New Handgun Cartridge: 30 Super Carry

Thursday, January 13th, 2022

ANOKA, Minnesota – January 12, 2022 – Federal Ammunition is proud to announce its all-new 30 Super Carry cartridge and will showcase this new product launch at the 2022 SHOT Show (Booth No. 11838), January 18-21 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Federal Ammunition has 100 years of experience producing ammunition and is the ideal company to develop a better concealed carry cartridge for the next generation of self-defense pistols, and that’s exactly what the company has accomplished with this introduction. With so many advantages over existing cartridges, 30 Super Carry stands to revolutionize self-defense.

The new 30 Super Carry cartridge provides the power of the 9mm Luger with comparable felt recoil. The .312-inch diameter projectile carries the same energy as 9mm Luger at the muzzle, with better ballistics than 380 Auto. In addition, it could be chambered in smaller, easier to conceal handguns, once gun manufacturers start to offer guns designed and built specifically for this cartridge.

“The self defense market is a driving force behind new gun ownership. When considering what the market is looking for when it comes to self-defense, they have told use that concealability, comfort in carrying and ability to shoot, 9mm performance, and the ability to carry more rounds,” said Federal’s Handgun Ammunition Product Director Mike Holm. “There is a lot here, and that is what drove the development of 30 Super Carry.”

With a higher capacity and smaller frame size than the 9mm but with similar muzzle blast, recoil and terminal performance, 30 Super Carry offers a decided advantage.

“Our 30 Super Carry cartridge hits like a 9mm, which means shooters can increase capacity without sacrificing performance,” continued Holm. “With ballistics that mirror the 9mm, there’s no doubt regarding the 30 Super Carry’s effectiveness for self-defense.”

30 Super Carry’s introduction is truly unique. While most new cartridges struggle with availability for years before production catches up with growing demand, 30 Super Carry will hit the ground running with not only loads from Federal but also sister brands Speer, CCI Blazer and Remington. In fact, it’s the first time in history so many manufacturers have offered loads for a new cartridge on “day one” of a new product introduction.

Federal Ammunition can be found at dealers nationwide or purchased online direct from Federal. For more information on all products from Federal or to shop online, visit www.federalpremium.com.

XS R3D Night Sights for CZ P-10 C Optics-Ready and Glock 43, 43x and 48 MOS Pistols

Wednesday, January 12th, 2022

Fort Worth, Texas (January 11, 2022) – XS® Sights is pleased to extend its R3D Night Sight offerings for CZ and Glock pistols with the addition of standard height R3D sights for the CZ P-10 C Optics-Ready pistol and suppressor height models for Glock 43, 43x, and 48 MOS pistols.

Available with a bright Orange or Green Glow Dot front sight, the XS R3D has a traditional 3-dot tritium, notch and post sight picture with a notch that is 15% wider than the front sight, allowing more visible light around the front sight. This space, combined with the XS Glow Dot technology, makes it easier to see the front sight in changing light conditions and when shooting on the move. It also aids in faster sight alignment and increased accuracy.

“The Glow Dot technology in our R3D front sight activates even before the tritium is visible, giving those who prefer a 3-dot notch and post sight picture a significant edge in high-stress situations,” said Addison Monroe, Marketing Manager for XS Sights. “The R3D front dot also glows brighter than the two-dot tritium rear which drives your focus downrange and prevents you from mistaking a rear dot for the front sight when your adrenaline is surging.”

Retail Price: $110 to $123

For more information, visit www.xssights.com.

All XS Sights are backed by a 10-year, No Questions Asked Warranty and XS’s 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

Savage Arms Announces New Impulse and Model 64 Designs

Wednesday, January 12th, 2022

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – January 11, 2022 – After the debut of the new 9mm Stance, updates to Renegauge, and new Model 110s, Savage Arms is adding two new rifle designs to the growing list of guns slated for launch in 2022.

“2022 is off to an impressive start for Savage,” said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing at Savage Arms. “And we’re not done yet! Today we’re building on this momentum with the Impulse Elite Precision, a rifle that adds the lightning-fast Impulse straight-pull action to an already robust and reliably accurate long-range design. And the new Savage 64 Precision offers new potential by extending the range of the rimfire by building Precision Series upgrades into a design that’s popular with plinkers and target shooters.”

“The Elite Precision has changed the way Savage shooters think about long-range capability,” said Jessica Treglia, Senior Brand Manager for Savage Arms. “The addition of the Impulse straight-pull action is going to add a new element of speed to an already efficient rifle. When split times are an important aspect of the competition, Impulse Elite Precision will be a game-changer.”

“The Model 64 has been a tremendous gun for Savage,” said Jessica Treglia, Senior Brand Manager for Savage Arms. “It deserves a big upgrade—and this is it. Savage is showing just what the 64 can do. We’ve taken our benchmark plinker and added performance driven features that will allow shooters to connect at extended distances.
