Gunfighter Moment – Larry Vickers

May 10th, 2014

Every now and then it helps to remind yourself of the K.I.S.S. Principle and that Murphy is in fact alive and well. Complexity is the enemy in many instances and never more so than when someone is shooting at you with hostile intentions. When it comes to fighting with small arms, keeping it real is always a good idea. Food for thought.

ASA Changes Name To American Suppressor Association

May 9th, 2014

This is an announcement from the American Suppressor Association regarding their recent name change from the former American Silencer Association. We are pleased about this decision, as it more properly reflects the function of firearm suppressors while distancing the organization from the stigma associated with the term ‘silencer’.

The American Silencer Association is pleased to announce that we have changed our name to the American Suppressor Association. We feel that this is a necessary step to portray our industry in the most accurate light while advocating and educating the public on behalf of the suppressor industry.

The core mission of the ASA is to educate the public on the merits of suppressors. To do so, we must first dispel the widespread notion that firearm suppressors can silence their host gun. To those familiar with suppressors, the difference between the two terms is largely semantics. After all, Hiram Percy Maxim, the man who invented the first commercial suppressor, called his products silencers. However, to the millions of Americans whose only exposure to suppressors has been through Hollywood, the term ‘silencer’ takes on a literal meaning.

Anyone who has ever used a suppressor knows that although they do reduce the overall sound signature of the host firearm, they are incapable of ‘silencing’ anything. Even the most effective suppressors on the smallest and quietest calibers reduce the peak sound level of the gunshot to that of a chainsaw or a hammer drill (110-115 dB). For most centerfire rifle and pistol calibers, suppressors can only reduce the peak sound level to that of a snare drum at a rock concert, or a jet engine at takeoff (130-140 dB).

It is for these reasons that we have decided to change our name. You can visit us online at www.AmericanSuppressorAssociation.com. All previous American Silencer Association URLs and email addresses will still remain active.

We thank you for your support, and look forward to a bright future under the new American Suppressor Association banner.

Blue Force Gear – Vickers Combat Applications Sling Now In Kryptek Patterns

May 9th, 2014

Blue Force Gear is now offering the proven Vickers Combat Applications Sling, as well as the 221 sling, in Kryptek Typhon and Highlander.

The VCAS is constructed from 1.25″ Invista solution dyed Cordura webbing, with color-matched ITW GhillieText Acetal low IR hardware. The overall length of the VCAS is adjustable to accommodate different sized weapons. Triglides are included on the front and back of the sling to attach directly to sling swivels, loops, slots, or other mounting solutions.

The 221 sling combines the effectiveness of the VCAS with the ability to be converted to a single point sling. By disengaging the RED swivel knob from the included button push swivel and reinserting it into the Molded Burnsed Socket on the webbing towards the rear, the 221 converts into a one point sling while retaining the instantaneous adjustment of the VCAS.

Available for a limited time only.
