Support Pitti Heerwagen as He Raises Money for the All In All The Time Foundation
August 13th, 2015Meet Andreas ‘Pitti’ Heerwagen.
Pitti was born in the East when Germany was still divided and grew up to serve in the German Navy. He came to the United States in 2007 for a military exchange program. He fell in love with America and never left, gaining his green card. Currently, he works in sales at S&S Precision.
For 15 years, Pitti has competed in triathlons including five Iron Man iterations as well as over 30 other events. This time, he’ll be competing in the Maryland Cambridge Iron Man on Oct 3rd. In addition to the thrill of competition, Pitti will also raise funds and awareness for the All In All The Time Foundation. His other goal is to not let Drew down.
Although always in training, he’s had his sights on this regional qualifying Iron Man since January. Pitti admitted to being “Addicted to working out”, and currently participates in one major event per year to provide purpose for his efforts.
He reiterated several times that he was not doing this one for himself and he’s said that it’s made the training easier. Plus, he’s 40 now. He knows what he’s done wrong in that past and what works.
But there’s something more. Pitti recently read a book that has seriously influenced his training philosophy. He read, “Natural Born Heroes: How a Daring Band of Misfits Mastered the Lost Secrets of Strength and Endurance“. He not only has taken inspiration from this book, he has given copies to friends. He spoke with me about it, “It’s a natural born lifestyle…in our DNA. We were made for a time when you couldn’t just pick up a Snickers, you had to fight for it. You couldn’t eat four times a day.” To learn more about what Pitti was talking about, you’ll have to read the book, but I’ve got to say, it seems to be working. I’ve known Pitti for years but never seen him this lean, or focused. He told me that he is the same weight as when he was a young man starting out in the service. If there is anything personal about this race, it’s that he wants to realize his goal of qualifying for Hawaii.
When I asked if there was anything he wanted to add, he said, “I want to to thank S&S for allowing me to train hard.” Pitti isn’t alone in his commitment to this cause. Drew from S&S said that his arms are getting tired from giving massages every day.
Please join us in supporting Pitti.

Crimson Trace – 5 Steps To Selection Guide
August 12th, 2015Crimson Trace put together 5 steps to selecting an appropriate laser sight for a firearm.
(Wilsonville, OR) — When it comes to selecting the right laser sight for a firearm, Crimson Trace recognizes that gun owners sometimes have questions. To answer those questions, and to guide with product selection, the Wilsonville, Oregon based company offers these five easy-to-follow steps for selecting the perfect laser sight for any firearm:
1) What firearm will be fitted with the sight? Crimson Trace’s website (www.crimsontrace.com) lists the many leading firearm manufacturers that the company makes specific fitted laser sights for, ranging from Beretta to Walther, plus 1911s, MSR/AR rifles and any firearm with an accessory rail. Additional details on the website list specific firearm models.
2) What products will match the gun’s uses? Crimson Trace offers the firearms industry’s largest selection of laser sight categories including: Lasergrips, Laserguards, Lightguards, Rail Masters and Rail Master Pros, Modular Vertical Forearms (MVFs) and Defender Series. These add up to nearly 200 products to fit thousands of firearms. Customers can take several routes to customization of, or equipping, their firearm with laser sights and powerful LED white lights.
3) Green or Red laser? Both colors offer advantages. Red laser sights are normally more affordable and use less battery power. Green laser sights are more visible in ambient lighting conditions. Crimson Trace offers a wide selection of red and green laser sights, and several models, such as the Laserguard LG-443 for Glocks, are available in red and green. Crimson Trace offers more green laser sights than all other competitors combined.
4) Where can I buy, or see, Crimson Trace products? In addition to viewing the product on the company’s website, there are more than 2,500 Crimson Trace dealers across America. The informative website also has a DEALER locator feature to help find nearby dealers. A large number of dealers have gun ranges where buyers can test Crimson Trace laser sight products installed on the firearm.
5) What about a holster? In the event adding a Crimson Trace product changes the outline of the firearm, there are many sources of holsters to fit the firearm with the product installed. Those holsters can be ordered on the company’s website or purchased direct from manufacturers including: BLACKHAWK!, Blade-Tech, CrossBreed, DeSantis, Galco, Mitch Rosen, Tactical Tailor, and others. Retail prices range up to $75. Crimson Trace works with those holster manufacturers during product design, and when a new laser sight is offered for sale—there’s a holster for that!
For more than two decades, Crimson Trace has provided America’s gun owners, and military units and law enforcement officers around the globe, with the world’s largest selection of award-winning laser sight and tactical light products. The company is widely recognized as America’s foremost leader in establishing laser sighting systems as standard equipment on concealed-carry and personal defense firearms. All Crimson Trace products are Proudly American. Full details are at www.crimsontrace.com or available by calling 800-442-2406.
