Without them, we wouldn’t enjoy the safety and freedoms that we do every day.” Organizational winners will be chosen starting November 20th, 2017 through Black Friday, November 24th, 2017. Winners will be announced via the Vertx email newsletter, Vertx’s Facebook page, and Instagram throughout the week of November 20th.
Thyrm Introduces The CLENS
September 30th, 2017
Sunnyvale, CA — Lights perform best when their lenses are clean. CLENS provides an easy way to protect lenses during extended shooting sessions. Like goggle tear-offs for off-road racing, just remove the dirty CLENS to return a light to its optimal brightness.
CLENS is a heat-resistant, clear polymer circle. CLENS protects the lens from carbon and other debris that can build up from the use of lights during firearms training. Also, extended exposure to carbon can permanently damage/discolor unprotected lenses. No longer will shooters have to apply Vaseline before shooting, replace a lens, or risk abrasion with lens cleaners. CLENS can be removed to instantly provide a clear lens for maximum brightness.
CLENS’ mild adhesive backing has a higher affinity for polymer than glass. This makes it easy to attach and position, without leaving adhesive on the light. Three sizes are included to fit a wide range of flashlight and weapon light lenses.
The CLENS is the collaborative effort of Thyrm and Sage Instruments. Aaron Cowan of Sage Instruments states, “We noticed the degradation of light output as a student progressed in a low-light class. They often struggled to get the light’s lens clean and that process took them out of the class for a period of time. We knew that this was the answer.”
“Our mission is to produce innovative products that address our customer’s needs. Like the SwitchBack® and CellVault®, the CLENS improves the function of flashlights and weapon lights. There is nothing like it,” said Thyrm CEO Andrew Frazier.

IWI US Is Phasing Out The Original Tavor SAR
September 29th, 2017
With the release of the Tavor X95 and the favorable response of its ergonomic and functional improvements over the original Tavor SAR, one could wonder how IWI would handle having both rifles available in their product line. Well, in a not-so-surprising move, IWI US formally announced they are phasing the Tavor SAR out of their product line, citing a market preference towards the X95 that lead to declining sales of the SAR. This phasing out will occur over the coming months, with production shifting towards greater focus on the X95, as well as the Tavor 7, a Tavor variant chambered for .308 WIN.

Jason Curns Joins Grey Ghost Precision as Vice President of Firearms
September 29th, 2017Lakewood, WA – Grey Ghost Precision, leading manufacturers of accurate, reliable, and attainable weapon systems, is excited to announce the hiring of Jason Curns as the company’s Vice President of Firearms, effective September 25th. In his new position, Curns will be responsible for setting the strategic direction for all sales, customer service and marketing initiatives for the Grey Ghost Precision brand.
“Through his combined passion for the firearms industry and undeniable track record in personal customer service and care, adding Jason to the Grey Ghost Precision team was one of the most common sense decisions we’ve ever made,” said Grey Ghost Precision, CEO Casey Ingels. “His extensive experience in the commercial sales and firearms industry as a whole positions him to help lead our team and take our products to the next level.”
Curns joins GGP with more than 22 years of combined experience in sales, customer service, customer logistics, manufacturing and supply chain. His previous experiences include the development and execution of Grey Ghost Precision’s premier rifles, the S-Series Heavy and Light, under the partnership of then-Mega Arms (now ZEV Technologies).
“It’s an honor to be aligned with such strong, brand with Grey Ghost Precision,” Curns said. “Within the team at GGP, there is such a strong, collective passion that mirrored my own personal ethos. One that was not just for the products, but for the end-users. The primary focus is to connect with the consumers on a level that most manufacturers cannot, because they don’t try to establish that relationship of trust and reliability. Through this passion and strategy we can continue to grow the GGP brand and set ourselves further apart from the field.”
