January 4th, 2016

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah – December 30, 2015 – SilencerCo, the leading firearm silencer manufacturer, announced the official launch of its two newest products: the Hybrid and the Omega 9K.

The Hybrid is a silencer for nearly any platform. Compatible with pistol calibers from 9mm to .45 ACP, rifle calibers from 5.56mm to .45-70 GOV and .458 SOCOM, and many in between, the Hybrid is both full auto and magnum-rated and can be used on pistols, rifles, and submachine guns.

Sound results have come back in the low-120 dB’s on .300 BLK and remain hearing safe with .45–70 GOV. The Hybrid is rated down to 16″ barrels for .45–70 GOV and .458 SOCOM and down to 18″ barrels for all magnum calibers up to .338 Lapua Magnum. A quick-reference poster of all Hybrid accessories is available on the Hybrid product page at www.silencerco.com.

The Omega 9K, like the full-size Omega from which it draws its name, is an exceptionally versatile suppressor and is the smallest, lightest, and quietest silencer of its kind in the world at just under 5″. Full auto rated and usable with pistols, .300 BLK rifles, and submachine guns, the Omega 9K offers extreme durability in an ultra-compact package.

With an overall length of 4.7” and weighing only 8.8 oz., the Omega 9K gives big results in a tiny footprint.

Walther’s Slim 9mm Meets Comfort With The New PPS M2

January 4th, 2016

(FORT SMITH, Ark.) – New to the Walther line of personal protection pistols is the PPS M2, an innovative new 9mm pistol that sets the bar for ergonomics and comfort for concealed carry. The new PPS M2 is engineered for the concealed carry shooter looking for a slim 9mm that provides superior concealability while maintaining comfort and accuracy. The new PPS M2 is built to carry, measuring in at 1 inch wide, low profile and smooth features. This coupled with a new push button style magazine release for easy operation, highlights some of the changes from the Classic PPS to the new M2.

The new PPS M2 is equipped with a smooth, light 6.1 lb trigger pull, which improves control and accuracy. The PPS M2 can be the perfect fit for every shooter with Carl Walther signature ergonomics, that have become a staple in 21st Century Walther Arms. The PPS M2 is also available in an LE edition with phosphoric sights.

Adam Blalock, Walther Arms CEO stated, “I have been really excited about the PPS M2 since the beginning of its development. The PPS Classic has been my everyday carry gun for years. It’s a great gun and the idea of improving on the original was challenging … but our team has done it. The engineering enhancements and modifications that create the new M2 truly elevate this pistol into a class of its own.”

Adding the PPS M2 to the Walther handgun line is a prime example of Walther’s dedication to continued innovation and customer focus in the fast growing personal protection industry. The PPS M2 will be available in retail stores in early 2016. It will also be available to test at Industry Day at the Range at SHOT Show and viewing on the showroom floor during the show in Las Vegas, NV January 18th – 22nd.

Soylent The Wonder Food, Not So Wonderful

January 3rd, 2016

Just at the close of 2015, I was “voluntold” to try out Soylent, the meal replacement beverage. That’s a pretty common occurrence around SSD. Anything that is faddish or sketch; I’m the Guinea pig. Soylent is a powder that is mixed in water, which is formulated to be nutritionally complete; a single bag provides 2000 calories for a full day’s use. It also shares a name with the subject of that classic 1970s dystopian flic. While its referred to as a “wonder food” the taste was anything but wonderful.

My first taste was like eating liquidized paper, as in, it tasted like printer paper smells, with a creamy consistency. As I kept trying it, I kind of… ‘got used to it’, but there was never a point where I found it completely palatable. For me, the taste shifted from “liquidized paper” to “liquid bread” as I kept drinking it, which was better, but also still pretty disconcerting. I realize there are people who have transitioned completely to Soylent for their day-to-day nutrition, but for me, it’s a last resort option.

The clip below summarizes my feelings about Soylent completely:

Rugged Suppressors Launches The Obsidian 45

Rugged Suppressors Launches the Obsidian 45
The Industry’s Quietest 45 Pistol Suppressor

Travelers Rest, SC – Dec. 31, 2015 – Rugged Suppressors, the company that created the industry’s first-ever modular rifle suppressor with the Surge 762, has now launched the industry’s quietest 45 pistol suppressor—the Obsidian 45.

This new multi-caliber, modular pistol suppressor meters at an industry-leading 129.3 decibels dry on .45ACP. Constructed of aluminum and 17-4PH stainless steel, the Obsidian 45 also comes with Adapt Modular Technology. The Adapt module allows users to configure the Obsidian in a standard 8.6” to a 6.7” short configuration within seconds. It’s full-auto rated for pistol calibers up-to .45 ACP can be used with 300 Blackout subsonic rifle ammunition.

“We’re known for our modular suppressors,” said Henry Graham, President of Rugged Suppressors, “so when we were designing our introductory pistol offering, we knew it had to be modular. What you have with the Obsidian is a no compromise 45 suppressor that customers can choose to configure themselves.

The Obsidian 45’s namesake comes from the tough, naturally occurring volcanic glass made from cooled lava. And it lives up to its name. It comes with an unconditional lifetime warranty. (Drop it from a mountaintop and Rugged will fix it or replace it free of charge.)

In keeping with a mantra of creating innovative products that upset the industry, Rugged has chosen to serialize the suppressor mount instead of the tube.

“We strategically place the engraving on the thickest cross section of the 17-4 stainless steel mount for fast and easy replacement should the suppressor become damaged beyond repair.” said Michael Derdziak, CEO “It also serves to make the Obsidian infinitely upgradable in the future.”

The Obsidian 45 is available immediately for shipping with a suggested retail price of $850. Visit obsidian45.com for more information or to find a dealer near you.
