Blackhawk Adds New Basketweave Holster to T-Series Duty Line

Thursday, April 30th, 2020

New Level 3 Duty Holster Available for Glock 17

VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia – April 29, 2020 – Blackhawk, a leader in the law enforcement and military equipment realm for over 20 years, announced today that it has added a new Level 3 Duty (L3D) holster to its popular T-Series line. Available in a basketweave finish, the new T-Series L3D holster has been designed to better serve the needs of on-duty law enforcement officers and is compatible with the Glock 17 pistol.

The basketweave design is a staple finish in the law enforcement community as the pattern is quite common on active duty holsters and belts. The black leather design offers an enhanced look and feel, increasing the command presence of on-duty officers. The L3D holster was designed to match frequently used belts, pouches and other accessories and continues Blackhawk’s long-standing legacy of duty-rated holsters.

The Blackhawk T-Series line is the world’s first dual-injected molded holster. The holster combines the company’s proven outer body strength made possible with a glass reinforced nylon along with a soft touch inner layer that is both super slick and sound-dampening. This durable and efficient, low-friction design translates into a smooth, quiet draw or when re-holstering the sidearm. Designed to follow Blackhawk’s Master Grip Principle, all T-Series holsters have been specifically developed to allow the user’s hand to land naturally where it should in order to deploy the sidearm.

The T-Series line is available in Level 2 and Level 3 configurations, including options for both compact and light bearing holsters. All models are duty-rated and with their shared functionality, Blackhawk has helped solve the commonality of training with the same draw for every model holster. Whether going from concealment, Level 2 or Level 3, the draw stroke remains the same even with the holster changes making the T-Series the ideal holster to meet the needs of law enforcement and military professionals.

The non-light bearing holster will have a MSRP of $149.95. The light-bearing model will be $169.95.

Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC Cancelled for 2020

Thursday, April 30th, 2020

Against the background of the ongoing corona pandemic and its global repercussions, NürnbergMesse has now also decided not to hold Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC in September 2020. The industry is facing hitherto unknown challenges, including declining sales and production stops, as a result of public health measures and the associated economic situation. At the same time, trade fair participants in many places are finding it difficult to plan and prepare their involvement in events due to business activity being curtailed by official order as well as international travel restrictions.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many representatives of the sector for the frank and constructive discussions we have had with them in recent days. These exchanges were very helpful to us in making our decision. Our objective with Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC, like all our other events, is to create a special experience for exhibitors and visitors that helps them to establish and develop business relationships in a number of different ways. Unfortunately, the impact of the corona crisis means that we cannot do this to our usual high quality standard,” says Thomas Preutenborbeck from the NürnbergMesse management board.

Save the date: Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC in March 2021

The next Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC will take place from 10 to 11 March 2021, marking a return to the event’s usual springtime schedule in the run- up to the IWA OutdoorClassics. “This also accommodates the preferences of many exhibitors and visitors and will allow the synergies of these three high-calibre trade fairs to be exploited once again. After this crisis is over, the need for information and dialogue will be greater than ever,” says Frank Venjakob, Exhibition Director Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC. “This is why we are now looking to the future and setting the course for next year.”

Department of Defense Chooses 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo from Hornady

Wednesday, April 29th, 2020

Grand Island, NE — A specialized group from the U.S. Department of Defense has purchased an undisclosed amount of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition from Hornady for its long-range sniper platform.

The 6.5 Creedmoor was tested and selected for engagements from 0 to 1,200 yards.

The purchase agreement coincides with a Department of Defense decision to replace the MK13 bolt-action 300 Win Mag with a 20-inch semiautomatic AR-10 in 6.5 Creedmoor.

With less recoil, the change will provide enhanced accuracy and performance, as well as reduced ammunition and rifle weight, compared to the MK13 300 Win Mag.

The 6.5 Creedmoor from Hornady provides world-class performance in a factory-loaded cartridge. The high-performance, match-accurate round features an excellent cartridge-to-chamber relationship and shoots well in all guns.

The 6.5 Creedmoor features proven Hornady bullets, specially selected cases, carefully matched powder and stringent quality control.

Anarchy Outdoors Introduces The First Adjustable Ergonomic Bolt Handle

Wednesday, April 29th, 2020

North Logan, UT- Anarchy Outdoors, a leading industry innovator and supplier of precision rifle components and other high-performance firearms accessories, has introduced a significant improvement in bolt action ergonomics with the development of their new Threaded Adjustable Bolt Handle for the Tikka T1X and the Bergara B14 Rimfire. No two rifle shooters are exactly alike and how each manipulates a bolt action may vary slightly because of stature, hand size or technique. The new Threaded Adjustable Bolt Handle lets the shooter adjust how much the bolt handle is swept rearward which can have a significant effect on the functionality. Anarchy Outdoors is developing this new bolt handle for other models of rifles as well.

Part of maximizing the accuracy and functionality of any rifle system is properly fitting it to the shooter. The Threaded Adjustable Bolt Handle addresses the fine motor skills of how the shooter works the action, enabling precise placement of where handle and bolt knob are located in relation to the shooter’s hand. The sweep of the handle can be adjusted by rotation so it is closer to the grip and rifle or further away. Fine tuning the location of the bolt knob can have a dramatic effect on the overall feel of the rifle when working the bolt action. Installation and adjustment are simple, and once the handle is tuned to the user’s preference, simply lock it in place with the knurled locking collar.

Anarchy Outdoors is the leader in aftermarket bolt handle upgrades offering models for rifles including Ruger, Tikka, CZ, Thompson Center, Winchester, various rimfires and more. The Anarchy Outdoors Threaded Adjustable Bolt Handles are the next evolution in their bolt handle upgrade product line. They are currently available, accept any bolt knob with 5/16”-24TPI and are made from 17-4 Stainless steel with a satin finish or blackened finish. The Threaded Adjustable Bolt Handles have an MSRP of $54.99.

Federal’s New Terminal Ascent Component Bullet Delivers the Best All-range Performance for Hunting Handloads

Wednesday, April 29th, 2020

ANOKA, Minnesota – April 24, 2020 – New Federal Premium Terminal Ascent component bullets deliver unprecedented performance for hunters who handload. The bullets’ bonded construction fuels deep penetration on close targets, while the patented Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion on long-range targets. The bullets’ long, sleek profile offers an extremely high ballistic coefficient (BC), and its AccuChannel groove technology improves accuracy and minimizes drag. Now available in a full selection bullet weights and diameters for handloading the most popular long-range cartridges. Shipments of this product have begun to arrive at dealers.

Terminal Ascent’s solid copper shank and bonded lead core retain weight for deep penetration and energy dump, delivering extremely effective wound channels and terminal performance. A large hollow cavity in the bullet nose, along with exterior jacket skiving, further aid expansion and penetration. Serrations allow petals to peel back on contact at velocities as low as 1,400 fps—speeds typically seen 1,200 yards downrange in the 200-grain 30-caliber loads.

“Terminal Ascent features grooving along the shank to improve accuracy across a range of rifles, while decreasing barrel wear and fouling,” said Federal Centerfire Product Director Mike Holm. “However, unlike conventional grooving, the AccuChannel’s highly technical shape accomplishes these goals with only a minimal increase in drag. No other bullet has this grooving technology.”

The bullet’s Slipstream Tip features patent-pending hollow-core technology. A small cavity runs the length of the shank all the way up to just below the point itself. That point breaks free upon impact, allowing fluid to enter the hollow core, where it generates pressure and easy expansion, even at low velocities. The Slipstream Tip’s hollow core sets it apart from all other polymer tips on the market—but it’s also unique in its high resistance to the elevated temperatures a bullet experiences during flight.

“In addition to the AccuChannel and Slipstream Tip, our engineers incorporated other important features to boost BC, delivering flat trajectories and less wind drift,” said Holm. “The result of all these design elements is both close-range and long-range terminal performance with both accuracy and reliability. And with that ability to expand at the lowest velocity of 1,400 fps, the bullet is sure to be a hit with shooters using shorter-barrel rifles or hunting handguns.”

Features & Benefits
• Match-grade long-range accuracy in a bonded hunting bullet
• Extremely high ballistic coefficient
• Exclusive Slipstream polymer tip helps flatten trajectories and initiate low-velocity expansion
• Less wind drift and drop
• AccuChannel groove technology minimizes drag
• Copper shank and bonded lead core retain weight for deep penetration at any range

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.

GEONYX by Safran Optics 1 – Inertial Navigation Technology for GNSS-denied Environments

Tuesday, April 28th, 2020

Like the title says, GEONYX is Safran Optics 1’s solution for Inertial Navigation Technology for GNSS-denied Environments.

Areas with inherent signal interference such as subterranean, heavy urban terrain, hardened concrete (indoors) have been common challenges for those relying on GNSS. But we’re moving into new territory where navigation systems are subjected to enemy jamming, spoofing, or even meaconing.

In this back to the future world, where GNSS signals are unreliable, we are rediscovering Inertial Navigation Systems. These consist of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) where accelerometers pair with gyros such as a Ring Laser Gyro (RLG), Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) or the Hemispherical Resonating Gyro or HRG Crystal by Safran.

Their GEONYX system uses three HRG Crystals for X, Y and Z axis measurements to calculate precise locations. Unlike legacy systems intended for aircraft and naval platforms, GEONYX is designed to mount on vehicles, turrets and artillery pieces.

To learn more, visit www.optics1.com.

*GNSS is a compilation of GPS (US), Galileo (EU), GLONASS (Russia), BeiDou (China) and regional ones like IRNSS (India) and QZSS (Japan), whom all rely on the transmission of signals via satellite. Each system has their own launched satellites to which they communicate for terrestrial navigation.
