Bianchi Concealment Holsters Available for Glock 43

Carry Your Glock 43 Inside the Waist or on the Ankle

ONTARIO, California – Bianchi® announced today the addition of three concealment holster fits for the new Glock 43 handgun. Popular models such as the 100 Professional™, the 100T Professional™ Tuckable and the time-proven 4750 Triad™ are now available to order.

For comfortable deep concealment, Bianchi offers two inside the waistband (IWB) carry holsters for the Glock 43 – the Model 100 Professional™ and the Model 100T Professional™ Tuckable. Both models are constructed of premium high-grade, full grain leather with a suede-lined exterior to provide a non-slip material against the body. The high-cut rear of the holster rides comfortably against the torso and eliminates discomfort associated with sharp-edges.

For ankle carry of Glock 43, Bianchi’s Model 4750 Triad Ankle Holster is a great option. The Triad ankle holster has three unique features – an Achilles arch that keeps the holster in position, a detachable ankle pad for maximum comfort and a compression strap design that pulls the butt of the gun into the calf to keep the firearm securely against the leg.

All models are available now and are now available online at www.safariland.com/our-brands/bianchi.

Robots To Drive Polaris RANGER At DARPA Robotics Challenge

May 6th, 2015

Polaris Industries has announced that their DARPA Polaris RANGER XP 900 EPS and GEM electric vehicles will be featured at the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals.

The DARPA Robotics Challenge was created to spur development of robotic tech that can help humans better respond to dangerous conditions and disasters. The Challenge Finals will have robots performing multiple tasks in a continuous course, which will be a simulation of obstacles and challenges that might be encountered in a real disaster situaion. During the Finals, the driving task will require participating robots to drive the RANGER XP 900 EPS on a roadway and weave around obstacles. It will also have to egress the vehicle and attempt to intervene in a mockup disaster site which is too dangerous for humans to perform tasks.

“We are excited to continue our relationship with DARPA after the successful DRC Trials in 2013,” said Rich Haddad, general manager of Polaris Defense. “Off-road vehicles are some of the most useful vehicles in disaster relief, and our specialized RANGER vehicles were built to accommodate the robots and provide mobility for the driving task. In the future, the versatility of the RANGER platform would allow a robot to transport tools, equipment, supplies and power around a disaster site, while traversing the difficult terrain often found in disaster situations.”

The DARPA RANGER XP 900 EPS was specially customized for the event, featuring a remote SafeStop electronic throttle kill, brake actuation tehcnology, and a 1000lb capacity bed for the robot’s power supply. The cab features a bench seat, and tilt steering for ample room for robots to operate the vehicle. The vehicles also have TERRAINARMOR airless tires for maneuvering in diverse terrains without the risk of a flat tire.

In addition to the RANGER XP 900 EPS, Polaris GEM vehicles will also be in use at the Finals. They will be used to transport the robots after completion of their tasks, as well as working as VIP shuttles, and transporting goods and people throughout the campus.

The DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals will be held on June 5-6, at the Fairplex in Pomona, California.

Gorilla Ammunition Raises $25,000 For The National Navy SEAL Museum

Gorilla Ammunition Raises $25,000 For The National Navy SEAL Museum

Gorilla Ammunition with Quail Valley River Club hosted a dinner and auction to raise money for the National Navy SEAL Museum

Vero Beach, FL, – April 22, 2015 – Gorilla Ammunition, a manufacturer of high quality modern sporting rifle ammunition, partnered with Quail Valley River Club to conducted a raising event for the National Navy SEAL Museum resulting in a donation of $25,000 to the museum.

“We are very lucky to have the Navy SEAL Museum and Memorial in our backyard here in Vero Beach, FL. When I found out that our National Navy SEAL Museum and SEAL Memorial receive absolutely zero funding from the U.S. Government, I thought to myself we have to help these guys. We just thought our company should try and give back a little to help remind everyone of those who risk their lives to defend our freedom. Thanks to the support of Quail Valley River Club, our friends in the firearms industry, and very generous attendees, we feel like we had a successful first annual event.” said Gorilla Ammunition’s CEO Lanse Padgett.

The ground upon which the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum rests in Fort Pierce, Florida is recognized as the birthplace of the U. S. Navy Frogmen. From 1943 to 1946, thousands of brave volunteers were trained as members of Naval Combat Demolition Units and Underwater Demolition Teams. The World War II Frogmen have evolved into the most elite fighting force in the world, the U. S. Navy SEALs. The Mission of the Museum is to preserve the legacy and history of these “Teams”.

The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum was formally dedicated in November of 1985. Since that time a continuous stream of history and artifacts has returned home to Ft. Pierce. The exterior exhibits include Apollo training crafts, a Vietnam-era ”Huey” helicopter, and unique water craft and support boats. Some of the last remaining beach obstacles used for training during World War II have been recovered from the ocean depths and now rest on the museum grounds.
“We appreciate Lanse, Gorilla Ammunition, and Quail Valley Charities for hosting this great event. We are so pleased with the turn out and results of the event and cannot wait to put the funds to use in improving our facilities and continue to pay tribute to our nation’s most elite warfighters” said Rick Kaiser, Executive Director of the National Navy SEAL Museum

Gorilla Ammunition is a manufacturer of high quality modern sporting rifle ammunition and dominates the 300 Blackout ammunition category. All of Gorilla Ammunition modern sporting rifle ammunition offerings are capable of Sub-MOA accuracy and have standard deviations in muzzle velocity of less that 15 feet per second. Gorilla Ammunition’s industry leading performance and quality control has helped them grow rapidly in a very competitive market.
