Federal Introduces Hydra-Shok Deep in 380 Auto that Delivers the Industry’s Best Penetration Depths

January 17th, 2020

ANOKA, Minnesota – January 14, 2020 – The newest addition to Federal’s Hydra-Shok Deep lineup is the industry’s first expanding 380 Auto to consistently meet FBI protocol recommendations for penetration (12 inches minimum) through bare gel and through heavy clothing.

This new product will be on display in Booth No. 14551 at the 2020 SHOT Show, January 21-24 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. New Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep 380 Auto is scheduled to ship in the Spring of 2020.

In the past three years, Federal Premium’s new Hydra-Shok Deep ammunition product line has been greatly recognized by its customers—and the industry—for its improved penetration and superior reliability. This has been most recently proven by it winning a 2019 NRA Golden Bullseye Award for “Ammo of the Year” by Shooting Illustrated magazine.

In response to the growing popularity of ultra-compact handguns by citizens of all ages, genders and demographics—particularly among shooters looking for a downsized yet effective defender— Federal Premium has expanded its award-wining Hydra-Shok Deep lineup with a new 99-grain 380 Auto load. This new offering is tailor-made for arming compact, concealed-carry “pocket pistols” or “micro guns” with an expanding, yet deepest-penetrating round. The new Hydra-Shok Deep 380 Auto even exceeds the FBI protocol performance measures of 12 inches minimum through both the bare gel and heavy clothing tests. These are achievements the industry has never seen before in the 380 Auto cartridge.

“FBI protocol incudes a series of rigorous scenarios. Bullets are shot through materials such as 10-percent ordinance gelatin, laminated automotive safety glass, plywood, wallboard and heavy clothing specified by the FBI,” said Federal Handgun Ammunition Product Manager Chris Laack. “While our larger caliber ammunition is designed to meet and exceed these requirements, the smaller 380 Auto is designed to offer the best possible blend of performance in a compact handgun platform.”

Testing done by Federal ammunition engineers in their Anoka, Minnesota facilities showed typical results of 13 to 13 ½ inches of penetration in bare gel and 13 ¼ to 14 inches through heavy clothing. Test gun barrel lengths were from common, compact handguns ranging from 2 ¾ to 3 ½ inches. The bullet and load are also fine-tuned to ensure delivery of consistent performance across all handgun platforms, including ones with longer barrels, to stay within that 13- to 14-inch goal range.

Hydra-Shok Deep has quickly become a favorite of those who rely on ammunition to protect themselves and their families. The product lineup now consists of four loads with the new 380 Auto 99-grain being the latest. Also available are 9mm Luger 135-grain, 40 S&W 165-grain and 45 Auto 210-grain. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices range from $25.95 to $33.95 from 20-count boxes.

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.

Introducing the Riton Optics all new 2020 Primal Series

January 17th, 2020

Tucson, Arizona (January 15, 2020)- All new for 2020, Riton Optics is introducing a new line of optics complete with proprietary, high performance reticles and enhanced features all at the industry’s best value. The new line has been touted as the industry’s new, better way to buy optics, breaking from the normal confusion of abstract product designations with an intuitive buying guide.

As the World’s only Military and Law Enforcement Veteran Owned optics company, Riton Optics foundation was largely rooted in the tactical market. While their foundation began in the tactical realm, the founder of Riton discovered his true beginning in the outdoors as a young hunter.

Brady Speth, Founder and CEO remembers, “Growing up in a family of seven, we hunted to put food on the table and to sustain us. One of our fundamental goals at Riton has been to put quality optics in front of those who love the great sport and tradition of hunting, as well as those that live the same lifestyle that my family did.”

The all new Riton Optics Primal Series of optics is just that: a blend of high quality, affordable optics focused specifically on the needs of the hunter. The Riton Optics Primal Series includes a full line of HUNTING optics. From high performance riflescopes to magnesium alloy binoculars, the Primal Series of optics have been designed and built to meet all the demands of the hunter.

The Primal Series riflescopes include features such as capped, zero resettable turrets to ensure the end user will not lose zero in the field or on the move. Enhanced, low light coatings provide a clear picture in dawn and dusk hours, while integrated throw levers for quick adjustments. The reticles within the Primal Series riflescopes are designed for optimal field of view, while still providing indicators for hold overs and wind.

Every optic in the Primal Series is purged and sealed ensuring variation in temperature and environmental stressors will not affect the optic. These rugged built optics are 100% shockproof, waterproof and fog proof for a lifetime of optimal performance.

New for 2020, the Primal Series includes the following optics:

X1 Primal 3-9×40 Riflescope

X1 Primal 4-16×44 Riflescope

X3 Primal 3-15×44 Riflescope

X5 Primal 3-18×44 Riflescope

X7 Primal 1-8×28 Riflescope

X5 Primal 10×42 HD Binoculars
