Sometimes you need something with some uumph. In the summer of 1914 an older British volunteer is said to have knocked a German aircraft down with a mounted 2-gauge fowling piece. Correia’s Owen Pitt used a custom Saiga to go after dangerous prey and Buettner’s Jazen Parker a HATT to do the same thing. Authors are going to need to consider this now.
It’s a .959 caliber rifle; 2,400 grain $40 bullet driven by 240 grains of powder.

This isn’t the first time that Blackhawk! has recalled their SERPA holsters. Apparently, this time it’s the light bearing models made before 2011.
The issue is that some SERPA Level 3 Light Bearing Duty Holsters have broken away from the jacket slot (the interface between holster and belt) due to improper assembly caused by using excessive force, improper screws or missing screws. They are offering a free replacement holster.

You may have seen the “GLOCK Statue of Liberty Gun†a one-of-a-kind, hand-engraved GLOCK 22 at SHOT Show or on Gunbroker.com where it served as the official Handgun for the 2012 SHOT Show Auction. It went to auction and was won by Alexander Smith for $15,025. The proceeds will be used to benefit programs to further America’s hunting and shooting sports heritage. In addition to the pistol, Mr Smith will also receive a signed drawing of the original GLOCK pistol.
The exclusive GLOCK features an intricate, hand-engraved tribute to the United States and the Statue of Liberty. This theme was selected to recognize GLOCK’s 25th Anniversary in the United States, which coincides with the 125th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty.
“In celebration of GLOCK’s 25 years in the United States, Mr. GLOCK wanted to recognize the customers who have helped the company achieve such a milestone,†stated GLOCK Vice President Gary Fletcher. “This one-of-a-kind piece demonstrates GLOCK’s dedication to its advocates.â€
DPM System Technologies has introduced a Magazine Floorplate with Carbide Tip for Car Glass Breakage. The secret is the carbide tip. The idea is that you can use the butt of your weapon to break vehicle windows. Alternatively, you can assume a reverse grip on a magazine with a mounted floorplate and use it as a stand alone device.
Designed to fit the following Glock magazines: 9mm / 40s&w / 357SIG / .45 AUTO / .45 G.A.P. (Except for the Single – Stack Magazine, Glock 36 model). In addition to polymer versions in Black, Green, Tan, and Yellow there is also a Black aluminum model available.
I don’t know if I am convinced this is where a glass breaker belongs but I am sure some of our readers will find this useful.
Once again, EMDOM USA has teamed with Military Morons to create a new version of the Ammo SAC. This new version, called the Split Ammo SAC, features a divider flap so that you can carry two types of ammo or keep other items segregated.
Weighing only 5 oz, it is available in Multicam, Coyote Brown, and Foliage Green.
The TYR Tactical MICO holds 575 rounds of 7.62 or 925 rounds of 5.56. One pack can support either caliber by switching out feed chutes and weapons feed attachments.
“We welcome Para into the Freedom Group Family of Companies,†stated. E. Scott Blackwell, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Freedom Group Inc.
“Para USA is a leader in handgun technology and their fine products exemplify quality, innovation and performance. Para is a perfect complement to our industry-leading family of brands, and our success in 2011 with the Remington R1 – 1911. We look forward to deploying both human and financial resources to continue to develop and supply current and future handguns for consumers and our channel partners. We also wish to thank all its employees for their continued dedication that has made Para a success.”
That’s how Scott Blackwell characterized Freedom Group’s purchase of Para USA in an official statement. For many years FGI has wanted to add a pistol manufacturer to their portfolio, even going so far as to internally launch the Remington R1, a 1911 clone that has received tepid response from the market.
Rumors swirled around the sale at SHOT Show after Gear Scout spilled the beans about the pending deal but FGI marches to their own tempo so it’s no surprise they took a few extra weeks to announce the deal. Generally, a very secretive conglomerate, FGI only recently removed any mention of the long defunct EOTAC clothing business from their website with never even an acknowledgement that it had closed its doors.
The best part of the FGI press release was this little gem, “Para will continue day-to-day operations at their Pineville, NC based facility.” We’d like to add a “for now…” to the end of that one.
