Operation Urgent Fury

October 25th, 2019

On the morning of October 25th, 1983, America awoke to reports that US forced had invaded the small Caribbean nation of Grenada, in order to liberate American medical students from danger posed by political instability. Joined by Regional Security System troops from a variety of Caribbean partner nations, they swiftly overwhelmed the Grenadian and Cuban troops. While Operation Urgent Fury was in name, a joint force operation, and included the use of Special Operations Forces, it highlighted many interoperability challenges, such as use of joint operational overlays and communications issues.

Several stove pipe problems suffered by the pre-Goldwater-Nichols military were identified during this operation. Additionally, Urgent Fury was conducted with many systems dating from the Vietnam war.

Just six years later, during the invasion of Panama, saw the first employment of several new weapons developed during the Reagan buildup such as the F-117 stealth fighter and the Marine Corps LAV-25. Grenada was a great learning experience for the US military as it highlighted issues with joint service operations, particularly in the communications arena as well as interoperability between Special Operations and General Purpose forces. For example, SOF also took a much more prominent role in operation Blue Spoon during the Panama invasion. We’ve come even further in the past three decades.

Finally, as with any conflict, lives were lost. Let us not forget the 19 Americans killed in action and the 116 who were wounded. Unfortunately, there were also 24 Grenadian civilians killed in the conflict.

2nd Amendment 1791 LLC Acquires SNAGMAG

October 24th, 2019

2nd Amendment 1791 LLC, manufacturer of multi-fit holsters and accessories that accommodate a wide range of firearms, announces the acquisition of SNAGMAG™. This acquisition expands on their diverse product line-up focused on providing customers high-quality accessories at an incredible value.

SNAGMAG™ was invented by a plain-clothes law enforcement officer who needed a better option for carrying a spare magazine. SNAGMAG™ was the perfect solution, as it kept the magazine from turning sideways in his pocket or getting tangled with the other items. The bingo moment occurred while at a shooting range. He looked down at his pocket and noticed his pocketknife, and he wondered if he could incorporate a knife clip with a magazine holster. After a year of tinkering and fine-tuning, the SNAGMAG™ was born! Once perfected and patented, the magazine holster delivered on all its promises of discreetly and comfortably concealing an additional magazine with immediate access and convenience. With that their tag line was born “There’s no such thing as extra ammo”.

“After reviewing and using the SNAGMAG™, it didn’t take long for us to realize that it was the perfect addition to our 1791 Tactical line of products. With its ease of use and great concealability it slots right into our line of high-quality Kydex tactical products,” says Ramiro Romani, CEO. The SNAGMAG™ is designed to be worn in your front, support-side pocket and is available in over 50 variations that accommodate the most popular magazines.

SNAGMAG™

• Disguised as a Pocket Knife

• Doubles your Ammo

• Designed for a Quick Draw

• The Most Discreet Way to Carry an Extra Magazine

• Lightweight and Comfortable

Naroh Arms N1 Pro 9mm Compact Pistol Released at NASGW 2019

October 24th, 2019

(Orlando, FL) – Naroh Arms is pleased to announce their newest product, the N1 Pro.
Following the success of their debut at NRAAM earlier this year, Naroh immediately began working on the newest iteration of their N1 product lineup, based in part due to market demand for a striker style trigger as well as a factory night sight option.

The entirely US designed and manufactured N1 Pro features tritium night sights and a short reset trigger, colorfully coated in “High Tide Blue” – a departure from the “Chili Pepper Red” trigger featured in the N1 debut model.

More than just an aesthetic change, the Pro trigger features a short take up and crisp break at just six pounds, with a single audible-and-tactile-click rearward reset which will feel familiar to competition shooters and striker gun enthusiasts alike. While offering a fresh interface for shooters, the N1 Pro trigger system maintains the robust and reliable DAO hammer fired system the N1 line is known for.

The N1 Pro is 6.1” long with a width of less than 1”, weighs in at a featherweight 16oz empty and just over 19oz loaded, and sports a seven round magazine available with flush fit and extended base pads – one of each is included with every pistol, and replacement base pads as well as spare magazines are available for sale.

The N1 Pro ships with three-dot steel night sights, and like the N1, is still compatible with all aftermarket G43/42 sight options.

Every N1 Pro ships with two magazines, an owner’s manual, and a cable lock, all contained in a hardcase, for an MSRP of $449.00

Dealers looking to carry the N1 or N1 Pro should contact RSR Group, Bill Hicks, or AmChar Wholesale to place their order directly or for those not working with these distributors, contact Naroh Arms directly at info@naroharms.com or 321-806-4875
