The Hotly Anticipated IceVents in Coyote are Now Available!

Tuesday, July 30th, 2019

McLean, VA: Since their launch in November 2018, IceVents Multi-Purpose Ventilated Pads have been a hit. IceVents sold out just four days after launch and multiple times since. Customers immediately started asking for 670-1 compliant IceVents in Coyote. Today, Qore Performance is extremely excited to announce the release of IceVents in Coyote to the general market.

Featuring a proprietary lightweight, breathable, super-strong honeycomb matrix that vastly outperforms foam-based padding, IceVents are a technological marvel and have no equal. Originally envisioned to enhance endurance by providing relief to the shoulders and traps while wearing a plate carrier, IceVents can be used for more than just plate carrier shoulder pads. This ventilated, anti-microbial and hydrophobic pad works on nearly every platform from Duty Belts, to plate carriers to packs/rucks and even ear pro.

IceVents in Coyote are proudly Made in America and available exclusively through Qore Performance’s website.

Bigfork, MT, October 29, 2018 7-22-19

The Shield Arms SA-15 built on the patent-pending FLR folding lower receiver is shipping now in stripped lower and complete pistol configurations!

The FLR is one of several innovative products we expect to see from Shield Arms, which was originally known for their extensive magazine extension line (and later for their 15-round capacity after-market Glock 43x/48 mags).

Features:
§ Built-in folding mechanism for compact storage – NOT AN ADAPTER
§ Machined from 7075-T6 aircraft grade billet aluminum
§ Ships with standard weight proprietary buffer

Personnel Change at the Rheinmetall Group

Sunday, July 28th, 2019

Automotive CEO Horst Binnig closes his career at Rheinmetall

After 20 successful years in the Automotive sector and on the Rheinmetall Group’s Executive Board, Horst Binnig (60) has asked the company’s Supervisory Board to be released for personal reasons from his duties as Chairman of the Executive Board of Rheinmetall Automotive AG and as a member of the Executive Board of the Group holding company Rheinmetall AG. Following the implementation of a succession plan with a smooth transition of leadership duties, he will relinquish his responsibilities within the Group by the end of 2019 and retire.

After working for the KACO Group and Hengstler GmbH, Binnig joined the Automotive sector of the Rheinmetall Group in 1999 where he was initially in charge of Corporate Development and then headed the Automotive subsidiary KS Aluminium-Technologie. During this time, he was also instrumental in setting up the Group’s second major joint venture with SAIC (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation) in China. In addition, he shaped and drove forward the vigorous expansion of Rheinmetall Automotive’s activities there as part of its internationalization strategy. Horst Binnig has been a member of the Executive Board of Rheinmetall Automotive AG since 2012 and took over as Chairman at the beginning of 2014. He was also appointed to the Executive Board of Rheinmetall AG in 2014.

Ulrich Grillo, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Rheinmetall AG and Armin Papperger, Chairman of Rheinmetall Automotive AG’s Supervisory Board, pay tribute to Horst Binnig’s entrepreneurial achievements: “Even though there is still some time left before his departure, we would like to thank Horst Binnig today. Not only has he played a decisive role in the extremely positive development of Rheinmetall Automotive’s business over recent years, he also delivered important impetus for the development of the Rheinmetall Group as such as a member of the Group’s Executive Board. All the more do we therefore regret his decision as much as we respect it.“

A Froglube First, A Rifle Bore Break-In Kit

Friday, July 26th, 2019

FrogLube, the foremost bio-based gun care pioneer delivers kit and maintenance guide

Burleson, TEXAS, July 19, 2019 —Quick and easy proper break-in and maintenance of the gun’s barrel using FrogLube’s simple guide and product kit.

A most often overlooked procedure, but one that can mean the difference in service life and consistent accuracy. Copper and hydrocarbon dust under high pressure and heat form a plasma that becomes deposited in a gun barrel. FrogLube non-abrasive solvent cleaners are formulated to tackle this type of fouling and stabilize the barrel surface condition. “We’ve shot hundreds of thousands of rounds during the development process to ensure we are attacking the precise fouling particles while not upsetting barrel stabilization over the life of the barrel.” CAPT Larry Lasky, FrogLube founder.

FrogLube’s Rifle Bore Cleaning and Break-in Kit uses a dual product procedure, with Rifle Bore Cleaner (RBC) FrogLube Solvent in conjunction with a metal bonding sealer type lube, FrogLube Extreme to inhibit further fouling build-ups and corrosion. This approach allows for a very simple and easy procedure to accomplish initial barrel conditioning during break-in. The kit contains FrogLube cleaner and lube products along with some handy container and applicator tools at price point under $20.00. See the Kit here.

WEST HARTFORD, CONN., (July 26, 2019) — Four Colt revolvers have been added to California’s “certified for sale” roster approved by the state’s Department of Justice. Each handgun passed all firing, safety, and drop tests required for certification and can now be legally purchased in California through licensed firearms dealers.

Models now available for sale in California include the 2” stainless matte Cobra with fiber-optic front sight (SM2FO) and its big brother, the brushed stainless steel, 3”.357 magnum King Cobra with brass bead front sight (KCOBRA-SB3BB). Most recently approved are two variations of the 2”, matte black DLC coated, .38 special Night Cobra – one with custom Colt G10 grips and night sight (COBRA-MB2NS), the other with hyena brown grips and a brass bead sight (COBRA- MB2BB-HB). The approved models are currently shipping to California dealers and are available for purchase.

“We have a loyal customer base in California, and we are following state-mandated protocol to ensure as many of our models as possible are available to them,” said Justin Baldini, Director of Marketing at Colt. “We are happy to know that California residents will have the chance to become Colt owners and we encourage them to stop by any of our stocking dealers. We plan to see additional models approved soon.”

Customers can find specific product and Colt stocking dealer information at colt.com. California’s Department of Justice manages the Bureau of Firearms which oversees education, regulation and enforcement actions regarding the manufacture, sales, ownership, safety training, testing and transfer of firearms.

KET Introduces a New Brass Catcher Alternative at TRIGGRCON

Friday, July 26th, 2019

San Jose, CA – July 26, 2019, KET, LLC is introducing a brand new patent-pending device – the Brass-Clip and Brass-Deflector, a traditional brass catcher alternative, at TriggrCon 2019, 4th floor booth. These products form the ideal training aid for military, law enforcement and performance-focused shooters alike, with a lightweight, non-intrusive design that is easy to attach, no capacity maximum, heat resistance, and high quality construction. Additionally, the products are 100% made in the USA  – an exceptional value to consumers, retailing at $32.99 for the complete kit. 

TangoDown owner, Jeff Cahill, said “Nice simple design, and a quick inexpensive solution. More time shooting, less time collecting empty brass. Well done”. Founder of KET, Mike Weiss, says “We are excited to debut our new product line at TriggrCon, as we’ve designed a product that solves for limitations that brass catchers have not been able to address.” 

BRASS-CLIP

The Brass-Clip firearm accessory comes in two formats, designed to attach to scopes or Picatinny rails. Attachment is simple – just slip a hat or the Brass-Deflector onto this durable clip, and snap the clip onto your firearm – no mounts necessary. In addition to blocking spent ammo from fellow shooters, this solution drops brass casings nearby for quick collection. 

Works with: All Scopes and Picatinny rails

Material: 900-series Acetal

Weight: ¼ oz. or less

Colors: Black, Coyote, Wolf Grey, Ranger Green, and Safety Orange

Origin: 100% made in the USA

BRASS DEFLECTOR

The Brass-Deflector works with the Brass-Clip to complete your solution to stop spent ammunition. This unique design has been tested on some of the toughest firearms, and has even proven to stop shotgun shells with ease (check out the video if you haven’t yet). One of the most unique qualities of this light-weight firearm accessory is that it has no capacity maximum, since it is not actually catching the brass, but dropping it directly beneath or next to your firearm for easy cleanup. This innovative design blocks ejected brass without jamming or weighing down your firearm, or overheating – allowing for increased accuracy and safe shooting.

For use with: Brass-Clip

Material: 1000D Cordura

Weight: less than 1 oz.

Colors: Black, Coyote, Wolf Grey, Ranger Green, and Safety Orange

Origin: 100% made in the USA
