P365 XL; Why You Need One, True Precision Releases P365 XL Barrels

October 22nd, 2019

ACWORTH, GA – True Precision, the industry leading manufacturer of pistol accessories has today announced the release of their aftermarket Sig Sauer P365 XL Barrels. Options of barrels will be Threaded 1/2X28” and Non-Threaded. Coating options will also be consistent with True Precision’s past offerings such as Gold TiN, Black Nitride, Grey, Copper and several other custom colors.

Exciting improvements were made to the design and were thoroughly considered during development. One implemented upgrade is a widened feed ramp to allow smoother feeding with all types of 9mm ammunition. Hollow Point defense ammunition is now easily fed with the addition of True Precision’s aftermarket barrel. There are noticeable aggressive chamfers that were added to the lower area of the lug to reduce metal peening that was experienced on earlier production OEM models. Each Barrel is checked multiple times throughout the manufacturing process for concentricity to ensure the quality True Precision consistently delivers. The rifling process is cut broached for dependable accuracy. Whether looking for a direct non-threaded replacement barrel or wanting the options that a threaded barrel delivers, the shooter will feel the difference of a True Precision Barrel.

True Precision also makes barrels for the Sig Sauer P365, Glock 19, Glock 26, Glock 43 and Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9. With the overwhelming popularity of micro sub-compact pistols, True Precision aggressively works in that market. True Precision has seen a need for the aftermarket of these Sig Sauer pistols in particular, so Sig P365 and P365 XL owners can rest assured there are some exciting products in the pipeline coming their way.

Jason Allen, CFO of True Precision said “listening to the wants and needs of our customers is always in the forefront of our minds. Without our amazing customer base, we cannot conduct business successfully.”

Domestic Footwear Manufacturing Association to Continue to Defend American-made Footwear

Washington, D.C., October 20, 2019:   The Rubber and Plastics Footwear Manufacturers Association, RPFMA, announced that the association’s management and advocacy operations are now performed by SMI, Inc., a Washington, D.C. based federal marketing and government affairs firm.   Bill McCann, COO of SMI, is the new Executive Director of RPFMA.

“There are a host of pressing trade issues that face our industry.  It is a dynamic and shifting playing field.   RPFMA is committed to protecting the domestic rubber footwear industry’s interests and viability.  It is with this singular goal in mind that the board selected SMI.   The association will remain laser focused on protecting our categories of footwear from imports,” said John Larsen, Chairman of RPFMA and the President Emeritus of New Balance Athletics.

Since the 1930’s RPFMA, and its earlier affiliation with the Rubber Manufacturers Association, has effectively protected the remaining U.S. rubber footwear industry against imports by maintaining the existing duty rates on categories of rubber (nonleather) footwear still manufactured in the US.  

“It’s an honor and a privilege to work for and with the RPFMA members.   These companies are committed to making footwear in America.   In order to ensure that domestic footwear manufacturing is sustainable and indeed able to grow, our nation needs to commit to fair trade policies and investments in advanced manufacturing technologies and workers,” said McCann.   “RPFMA will continue to the be the voice of all domestic footwear manufacturers and will look to lead on fair trade policy and other issues of importance to this industry.”  

As Executive Director, McCann will act on RPFMA’s behalf in Washington.  He will lead advocacy efforts with federal agencies and the U.S. Congress.   McCann is a principal at SMI and previously served as a Chief of Staff on Capitol Hill.  He has both advocacy and management experience.  McCann is well known for his lobbying efforts to require the DoD to comply with the Berry Amendment with respect to athletic shoes issued to enlisted recruits. Patrick Malloy will work with McCann on trade advocacy.   Malloy is a former senior Congressional trade staffer.   The SMI team will also provide event planning, website maintenance, communications, financial operations and membership services.  

RPFMA’s official address is now 1020 19th Street, NW Suite 375, Washington, D.C.
