Propel Meets the Growing Demand with CSM-1000 Face Masks

Thursday, May 7th, 2020

Propel LLC is woman owned small business, focused on product innovation, development, sales, and marketing of innovative textile driven technologies for the First Responder and US Military markets.

Propel has quickly pivoted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and developed a Cloth Mask using Rhode Island-made textiles and a RI-made nose stay.

The CSM 1000 mask uses athletic wear textiles that are:
• Breathable
• Comfortable
• Quick drying
• Hand or Machine washable
• Soft, comfortable elastic band for retention
• Adjustable nose stay for customized fit

At Propel, we usually spend our time developing innovative solutions for customers such as the US Navy, US Army, US Air Force and US Marines. In response to the COVID

-19 pandemic we have reacted quickly to leverage our deep knowledge of textile technology and the US textile industry to develop a comfortable, quick-drying, washable cloth face mask.

The full scale of the shortage of face masks within the United States began to take shape as early as March where both the CDC and FDA began to reach out to American businesses to request local supply of alternative masks (no 510(k) clearance). The FDA recognized the urgent need for face masks in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic due to increased use and shortages in their availability – luckily Propel’s President, Ms. Clare King and her team of textile experts and designers had already anticipated that this would be the case and were focused on this problem for several weeks prior.

Our goal was a great product at a fair price. From concept to production took 5 days, including developing the all-important aluminum nose stay. We are now producing our masks in multiple US factories, sourcing US-made textiles and components from our home state of Rhode Island and across the country. Factory capacities are expanding to meet demand.

Available in white, we are adding navy blue, black and tan. We are working hard to have inventory on hand, but right now masks are selling even before they hit the shelf.

We are serving the need for cloth masks for individuals, families, employees and employers everywhere, as well as the US Military and our valued First Responders.

PLEASE NOTE:

You may use this face mask when face masks approved for medical purposes are unavailable. Although FDA has not specifically cleared or approved our masks, FDA has authorized their use under an Emergency Use Authorization for use by health care practitioners to help prevent the spread of infection or illness in healthcare settings and by the general public to help slow the spread of the virus during the COVID-19 pandemic.* The CSM Mask does follow all FDA requirements for masks being made in response to the COVID 19 need for social distancing.

BODY CONTACT MATERIALS ON THIS MASK INCLUDE: KNIT ELASTIC, 100% POLYESTER THREAD, AND 100% NYLON KNIT FABRIC. MACHINE WASH OR HAND WASH, HOT WATER AND SOAP. LINE DRY OR TUMBLE DRY. NOT FLAME RESISTANT.

$6 per Mask

Minimum Order Quantity:12 (per color)

Langdon Tactical Revolutionizes the PX4 Again

Thursday, May 7th, 2020

(Pheonix, AZ) – Langdon Tactical has revolutionized the Beretta PX4 platform again, with the brand new Optimized Performance Trigger Bar (OPTB). Following the success of the 92 series Optimized Performance Trigger Bar released last year, the company has meticulously reengineered the PX4’s trigger bar to provide the best possible performance for the polymer DA/SA pistol.

The LTT Optimized Performance Trigger Bar for the PX4 reduces reset to less than a tenth of an inch in single action and significantly reduced overtravel, setting a new standard for the Beretta PX4 Platform.

The PX4 OPTB is machined from A2 tool steel, heat treated to a Rockwell hardness rating of 52 HRC, and finished with an NP3 coating, producing an incredibly durable bar that will last through years of hard use.

Langdon Tactical’s NP3 PX4 Optimized Performance Trigger Bar is available now for 9 mm and .40 cal PX4 pistols as an option on the Langdon Tactical PX4 Carry & Compact Carry models, LTT’s PX4 Trigger Job in a Bag kit, and individually for an MSRP of $67.00 at www.LangdonTactical.com.

Installing the Langdon Optimized Performance Trigger Bar should be performed by a qualified gunsmith or by the team at Langdon Tactical.

Following in the footsteps of legendary exhibition shooter Tom Knapp, Steve and Aaron Gould have picked up that mantle and continue performing trick shots that amaze audiences with their energetic live shows. “We watched Steve and Aaron hone their craft over the years and Federal is excited to join forces with them,” says Jason Nash, Vice President of Marketing at Federal Ammunition. “We are happy to watch them make incredible shots with Minnesota made products.”

Route Clearance System: Bundeswehr Awards Rheinmetall Supplementary Procurement Order for EOD Equipment

Wednesday, May 6th, 2020

Rheinmetall has been awarded a supplementary procurement order by the Bundeswehr to supply four Route Clearance Systems. The order is worth a figure in the lower two-digit million-euro range. Signed in December 2019, the contract is set to run for approximately four years.

Under the contract, Rheinmetall will be turning five Fuchs/Fox 1A8 wheeled armoured transport vehicles into operator team vehicles, and converting four Wiesel/Weasel 1 airmobile weapons carriers into tracked detector platforms. The scope of delivery also encompasses seven reserve dual sensors with transport and storage racks, together with logistical support. The dual sensor, a key component of the Route Clearance System, is a new version purged of obsolescent elements.

It was in 2011 that Rheinmetall first supplied the Bundes¬wehr with seven Route Clearance Systems as part of the Heavy Explosives and Ordnance Demolition Platoon. A complete system consists of five vehicles configured for the following tasks: detection and clearance of landmines and improvised explosive devices, command, and transport.

The remotely controlled Wiesel/Weasel features a newly developed, integrated dual sensor with ground-penetrating radar as well as a metal detector. Its task in the so called DEU Route Clearance System is to detect landmines and IEDs on sections of road as well as in off-road terrain.

Equipped with operator consoles for controlling the vehicles and systems for evaluating the dual sensor signals, the Fuchs/Fox 1A8 armoured transport vehicle serves as a mobile, highly protected command post.

Ordered separately, the ordnance verification vehicle is tasked with remotely controlled inspection of suspicious objects. An integrated video system lets operators onboard the Fuchs/Fox command vehicle monitor the situation on the ground at all times.

The vehicles of the DEU Route Clearance System are transported using Multi FSA trucks made by Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV).

Barnes Bullets is Awarded the Sporting Classics 2020 AWARD OF EXCELLENCE

Tuesday, May 5th, 2020

Mona, UT – It is a great pleasure that Barnes Bullets received the 2020 Award of Excellence from Sporting Classics Publications in the ammunition category.

“The extraordinary success of Barnes Bullets is the X-factor. But the X is not an unknown quantity. Or quality. Quite the opposite. It is the consistent, dependable shape of an eXpanded Barnes monolithic, copper-alloy hunting bullet. On impact, the hollow noses of X bullets flare into four sharply edged blades that double the surface diameter, enlarge wound channels and eXtinguish game. From the original X through the TSX, TTSX and LRX, eXpansion has been backed by eXtraordinary mass retention. The bullets typically retain 90 to 100 percent of their mass after impact. As one African PH explained, “That Barnes bullet is like a soft-nose and a solid in one bullet.” Popularity of X bullets led to an extensive line of factory loaded VOR-TX ammunition that makes it easy for everyone to find the perfect X load for their rifles and handguns”. – Ron Spomer

Sporting Classics’ 18th annual Awards of Excellence salute the best of the best— those companies and individuals whose products and services are having a significant and long-lasting impact on our sporting lives. Nominees for the 2020 awards were submitted by our senior and contributing editors, then finalized by the magazine staff. The honorees were chosen for their achievements in defining what a great sporting product should be. Their engineering, craftsmanship and innovations have set higher standards than ever before.
