clip_image001

INTRODUCING THE OZ9 V2 ELITE.

ONE GUN, EVERY MISSION.

“One gun, every mission” was the mantra behind the creation of the OZ9 V2 Elite. Now, with true modularity, ten different variations of a single OZ9 can be created. Three lengths of slides, two grip sizes and, threaded and non-threaded barrel options make this possible with the V2 Compact receiver.

clip_image002

OZ9 V2 ELITE HIGHLIGHTS

  • ZEV Signature OZ9 V2 Slide Hybrid Gen 5/Gen 3.
  •   ZEV Optimized Barrel.
  •   ZEV PRO Flat Face Trigger.
  •   ZEV OZ9C or X Grip.
  •   ZEV OZ9 Magwell.
  •   ZEV OZ9 Custom Nanuk Case.

Starting with the top end, we cut wider serrations at the front and rear to drive your grip further into the slide. Manipulations under any condition become easy work regardless of the environment. We then updated the channeling at the top of the slide to deflect glare, and small windows that let the dimples of the Optimized Match barrel shine through.

Internally, we’ve created a hybrid system between Gen 5 and Gen 3. This is the best of all worlds leading to more reliability, durability and incredibly crisp trigger breaks. Don’t miss out on being the first to own the new OZ9 V2 Elite!

Big Horn Armory Honors First Responders and Military Service Members This Memorial Day Weekend

Big Horn Armory Honors First Responders and Military Service Members This Memorial Day Weekend

All first responders and military service members can save 20 percent on an AR500 rifle or pistol when purchased between May 26 – 28, 2023.

Cody, Wyo. (May 2023)Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is proud to announce its Memorial Day Sale, honoring and supporting the brave first responders and military service members who dedicate their lives to serving our communities. Between May 26 – 28, all first responders and military service members, current and veterans, can enjoy an exclusive 20 percent discount on any new BHA AR500 semi-auto rifle or pistol. Orders may be placed directly online; first responders simply need to provide proof of service with a valid ID and military service members must present proof of service with a valid Military ID or DD-214 before the gun is shipped. BHA is currently shipping the AR500 from stock and a service representative will contact you within 48 hours to discuss options.

Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the military. Big Horn Armory recognizes that first responders, including law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel, play a vital role in safeguarding our communities day in and day out. This Memorial Day Sale is BHA’s way of expressing gratitude and appreciation for all of their selfless service.

“We are honored to show our support for the first responders and military service members and veterans who put their lives on the line to protect and serve,” said Greg Buchel, President of Big Horn Armory. “Our Memorial Day Sale is a small gesture of our appreciation for their dedication and sacrifice. We want to equip them with the best firearms available to ensure their safety and success in the field.”

The AR500 rifle is an AR rifle like no other. Chambered in 500 Auto Max, BHA’s groundbreaking AR500 Rifle is the most powerful AR firearm available. BHA was not content with the big bore cartridge offerings available in the AR platform, so the company made its own. The logical choice was something to match the power and versatility of BHA’s Model 89 Lever Action in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The result was the development of the 500 Auto Max, a rimless 500 S&W Magnum to feed in a semi-automatic rifle.

BHA’s bold AR design and big bore 500 Auto Max cartridge put an unparalleled amount of power into a pleasant shooting, rapid-firing, versatile rifle. This combination of size, familiar manual-of-arms, available accessories, and energy on target make the AR500 Rifle ready to handle almost any situation. The AR500 is also available in an ATF-compliant pistol configuration: the AR500 semi-auto pistol.



The 500 Auto Max is a rimless 500 S&W Magnum that is easy to obtain or reload. A very versatile cartridge, it can be had in loaded ammunition with bullets ranging from 350grns to an amazing 600grns. The handloader can utilize over 55 different bullets ranging from 200grns to 700grns in almost any bullet type imaginable, including hard cast, jacket hollow points, monolithic solids, etc. This unprecedented range of bullet weight and design make the AR500 suitable for anything from prairie dogs to pachyderms to Peterbilt’s. Truck stopping power in a platform weighing less than 10 pounds. Factory ammunition for the 500 Auto Max is available through Buffalo Bore, Steinel Ammunition, Underwood Ammunition, and Defiant Munitions.

Whether it is packing 36,800 ft. lbs. of energy in a lever-action, or building the most powerful AR on the market, BHA’s goal is to give the customer the biggest bang for his or her buck.

About Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

Fisher Pen Company® Partners with Axiom Space® and the Future is Bright

Fisher Pen Company® Partners with Axiom Space® and the Future is Bright

Boulder City, NV (May 24, 2023) – Fisher Pen Company® has recently announced a partnership with Axiom Space® to become the official pen of the brand. Axiom intends to launch the first commercial international space station platform in late 2025. This will be a massive innovation for the space exploration community, and Fisher will be at the forefront of the pioneering movement.

Fisher Pen Companies AG7 space pen boarded Apollo 7 in 1968 and revolutionized the idea of writing in space using the PR4 pressurized ink cartridge. Changing the game is nothing new for the Fisher brand, and the partnership with Axiom is sure to broaden the future of space exploration. Many members involved with the partnership are excited about what this means for the future of both entities.

Joshua Skidmore, Director of Sales & Marketing at the Fisher Pen Company, described the brand as a leader in space memorabilia. “At Fisher, we see ourselves as the Nike or Under Armor of the space industry. These brands create custom shoes and apparel for each team in sports. Similarly, we create unique space pens for each commercial partner in space, giving them unique brand awareness of a tool that’s available for consumer consumption. In space, there are very few items available to buy by fans and collectors that are “used in space.” Fisher Space Pen happens to be one with an unparalleled story.”

Matt Fisher, Vice President of Fisher Pen Company, says, “Our partnership with Axiom Space is one giant step in extending my grandfather’s legacy. He would be very proud to see this partnership come to fruition. It’s an honor working together with such prestigious and innovative commercial space brands like Axiom Space.”

“I’m excited about the idea that we’re continuing the legacy of taking Fisher Pen’s to space. Being in space is an incredible experience. You get this perspective that you can’t get from Earth, and to be out and above Earth is something so special. To recognize that, feel it, and be able to take a nice pen like this Fisher Pen and write myself notes so I remember the experience is something truly special.” said Axiom Space astronaut Peggy Whitson, Ph.D.

The ties between Fisher Pen Company and space run so deep and will only continue to run deeper with the partnership with Axiom Space. Fisher hopes to inspire a new generation of space enthusiasts and strives to continue to be the pen in the hand of ambitious explorers from ground control to takeoff.

KOR Cases builds technologically advanced firearm storage and transportation systems for outdoor enthusiasts.

“Kristy conveys her passion for the outdoor lifestyle to her audience like no one else,” said G.P.

We are thrilled to have Kristy on board as she helps educate audiences about KOR innovations in the safe transportation of firearms,” he commented.

According to Searle, “For folks who travel the world chasing game, those who shoot competitively, or people who want to keep their prized firearms protected inside their case, keeping rifles and shotguns stable is a priority. Kristy participates in all those shooting activities and appreciates how the KOR VRS foam replacement technology lets you turn your existing gun case into a universal transportation system.”

“I’m honored to partner with a brand that recognizes the impact of its product on an entire industry,” stated Titus. “I was instantly hooked when I realized I would never have to cut, pluck, pay for, dispose of, or store foam again. It’s not often that new technology surprises me the way KOR’s VRS system did,” she said. “This is truly a game changer.”

And by eliminating the need for cutting and storing foam inserts, VRS provides a versatile, environmentally friendly option in a single system.

With the amount of time I spend on the road–whether I’m hunting elk in Wyoming, shooting a PRS match in New Hampshire, or pursuing wildlife in Africa, protecting the integrity of my firearm and optics is a priority,” she said. “By retrofitting my existing case with the VRS insert, I never have to worry about disassembling my optics, bipods, or other accessories, for a custom fit, no matter where my adventures take me.”

Bond Arms® Honey B Expands the Stinger Rough Series with B6 Grips

Bond Arms® Honey B Expands the Stinger Rough Series with B6 Grips

Granbury, TX (May 23, 2023) – With several lines of successful and progressive improvements, the Honey B is introduced by Bond Arms®. This “B” has a sting, coming in multiple caliber choices. With firepower for everyone, options are offered in .22LR, 9mm, 380, and 38 special. What sets this design apart from the rest of the Stinger Series of pistols is the advancement and utilization of the B6 grips, adding exceptional grip, control, and comfort.

B6 grips offer an extended full-handed feeling with a small frame. These grips take the guesswork out of placement, giving refined control by adding great palm swell and the option of a smooth or textured backstrap. Pairing these grips with the Stinger frame is a match that can not be overlooked. More surface area makes the 9mm more manageable in this ultra-compact design.

Overall, the Honey B is only 5.5 inches long with a three-inch barrel–more than enough for accurate and on-point precision. It’s heavy enough, weighing 17.5 oz, to mitigate recoil in a 380 and 9mm without sacrificing the lightweight control commonly found in a .22LR and 38 special. Mixing these two doesn’t mean making compromises.

Regarding safety, the Honey B comes with a trigger guard and a 7 lb trigger pull. Sights are standard fixed sights with a 10-yard sight picture, and the simple open-action design makes loading the 2-round capacity barrels easy and efficient. It’s easy to see that this can quickly become a pocket-carry 9mm pistol as a primary or secondary defense tool.

To learn more, visit https://www.bondarms.com/Honey-BNEW-P8588.aspx

Honey B Features:

  • · B6 resin grip material
  • · Extended grip size
  • · Fixed sights
  • · 2 shot capacity
  • · Single action
  • · Trigger Guard

Honey B Specs:

  • · .22LR, .380, 9mm, and 38 special calibers
  • · 3 in. barrel length
  • · 5.5 in. length
  • · 17.5 oz
  • · 7 lb trigger pull weight
  • · MSRP – $320

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas, and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.

Upgraded Gray Eagle Extended Range UAS Featured in Demo

Gray Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER) | General Atomics Aeronautical Systems  Inc.

UPGRADED GRAY EAGLE EXTENDED RANGE UAS FEATURED IN DEMO

GA-ASI Supporting U.S. Army Highlighting MDO Capabilities

clip_image002

SAN DIEGO – 23 May 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is supporting a demonstration that began in March and is featuring two U.S. Army-owned Gray Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). GA-ASI – the developer of the GE-ER platform – was contracted by the Army to integrate and operate an array of new capabilities on the versatile UAS platform as part of an ongoing effort to modernize GE-ER for Multi-Domain Operations (MDO).

This demonstration employs improved capabilities, including long-range sensors – like those traditionally flown on manned platforms – and navigation capabilities, as well as rapid integration of advanced sensors and payloads tailorable to specific missions.

As part of this MDO configuration, the next-generation Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) used for the demonstration is the new Eagle-Eye Multi-Mode Radar (MMR) supplied by GA-ASI. The Eagle-Eye radar is an MMR that provides increased performance and couples well with other payloads.

“Eagle-Eye easily detects threats and provides precise location data, which eliminates unknowns for the ground tactical commander on today’s dynamic battlefields,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “Eagle-Eye and the rest of our MDO upgrades can provide reliable performance, ease of operation and true overmatch capability for the U.S. Army.”

Many of the MDO capabilities showcased in this demo are featured in the latest Gray Eagle model, the Gray Eagle 25M, which is designed to meet the range and accuracy to Detect, Identify, Locate & Report (DILR) stationary and moving targets. The Gray Eagle 25M’s Open Architecture allows easy implementation of Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) standards across control interfaces, avionics, datalinks, and provides the ability to integrate a customizable suite of multi-INT sensors providing the Stand-Off Survivability with Stand-In Capability required for Multi-Domain Operations.

Hornady Heavyweight, Lock-N-Load® Iron Press® Delivers

Grand Island, NE (May 24, 2023) – Hornady engineered the Lock-N-Load® Iron Press® to be the heaviest, most rigid press in its class. This single-stage unit, powered with a spring-assisted 1-1/8-inch solid steel ram, is perfect for anyone demanding precision and repeatability from their reloading press.

This 28-pound workhorse press is manufactured with exceptionally tight tolerances and a smooth operating system designed to deliver consistent precision year after year.

Dies locked in their Lock-N-Load® bushings remain as they are set, in perfect alignment and ready for their turn in the press.

The unit also features a patented shell holder platform that lets the operator de-prime a case, remove the case to chamfer or deburr, and then quickly replace and prime. The Iron Press accessory deck enables quick access to trays for bullets or cases and storage for chamfer and deburr tools, case neck brushes, primer pocket cleaners, and more.

The gravity-fed Automatic Priming System, which is sold separately or as part of the kit, blurs the lines between progressive and single stage reloading by allowing more processes to happen simultaneously. The machine upgrade includes the automatic priming system, large and small primer tubes, large and small primer pick-up tubes, primer housing tubes, primer catch trays and a small parts bag.

Fisher Pen Company® Adds an Elite Extension to Popular Pen Lines

Boulder City, NV (May 23, 2023) – Fisher Pen Company® products have always been known for supreme reliability and thoughtfully constructed designs. As the company is always looking for more ways to take the excellence of its pens to the next level, Fisher Space Pen began collaborating with NIC Industries in 2022. In this ambitious project, NIC’s revolutionary Cerakote® Elite Series technology met Fisher’s classic M4 and Bullet Space Pen. With the success of the initial models in Matte Black, Tungsten, OD Green, Flat Dark Earth, and Black Cherry, Fisher presents its products in an exciting new Cerakote color this year.

Cerakote is an innovative coating method that creates a thin layer of ceramic and polymer on the surface to protect the material from corrosion and enhance its functionality. Across industries, Cerakote technology has proven to be superior to other coating methods for its corrosion resistance and temperature stability. Moreover, Cerakote comes in hundreds of beautiful colors that can make any surface more visually pleasing. With Cerakote, an unusual combination of exceptional performance and extraordinary visuals is achieved.

The Elite Series rivals Teflon® with unmatched abrasion, corrosion, and chemical resistance while giving this Bullet Space Pen a premium look and feel in an ultra-thin coating layer. Sacrificing durability and strength for aesthetics and feel is a non-issue within Fisher’s revolutionary new series of pens. Rest assured that your Elite Navy Cerakote space pen will last a lifetime and will look and feel great in your hand throughout.

Fisher and NIC dynamic duo’s new Cerakote colors embody this perfectly. Flat Dark Earth and Olive Drab Green on the M4 Cap-O-Matic and Bullet Space Pen debuted at Shot Show 2023 and drew the attention of thousands of industry professionals and customers with their attractive new look. This edition perfectly matches your pocket, wallet, and everywhere the day takes you; this pen is the perfect companion for everyday carry enthusiasts.

Due to its convenient and seamless activation and versatility, the Cap-O-Matic pen has been the most popular among professionals working in a physically-involved, ever-moving, and fast-paced environment, such as first responders, adventurers, and law enforcement. With its compact size and timeless design, the Bullet Space Pen remains the beloved everyday-carry pen for Americans. Both write in extreme temperatures ranging from -30 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, through water and grease, from any angle, and in zero gravity.

NSSF Challenges California’s Law Encouraging Frivolous Firearm Industry Lawsuits

May 23, 2023

NSSF Challenges California’s Law Encouraging Frivolous Firearm Industry Lawsuits


WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, filed a challenge to California’s unconstitutional firearm industry liability law, AB 1594, that was passed last year and signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The law encourages civil suits against the firearm industry for the damages caused by the criminal actions of remote third parties. This law is an affront to the U.S. Constitution and abuses the judicial system in an attempt to circumvent the will of the U.S. Congress when it passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). The law goes into effect July 23.

NSSF filed NSSF v. Bonta in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. NSSF will seek a preliminary injunction to halt enforcement of the unconstitutional law as the challenge progresses through the courts.

“California’s General Assembly and Governor Newsom made a spectacle of defying the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen decision when this bill was passed and enacted,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “This law is openly hostile to the firearm industry and also defiant to Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court and the Constitution. Governor Newsom’s angst toward the foundations of America’s freedoms exceeds the borders of his state and his law attempts to exert California’s radical gun control agenda across the United States. NSSF will defend our Constitutionally-protected industry against the broadsides of this extremist agenda.”

NSSF’s challenge explains that AB 1594, misleadingly titled the “Firearm Industry Responsibility Act,” is a law that was drafted prior to the Bruen decision and signed just weeks after the Supreme Court published the landmark ruling. Rather than re-examining the legislation to ensure it complied with Supreme Court precedent, Gov. Newsom forged ahead, challenging the ruling when he signed it.

The law bans the manufacture, sale and marketing of firearms the state deems “abnormally dangerous” regardless if they are commonly-owned. It also encourages civil lawsuits by a person who has suffered harm in California, the Attorney General, or city or county attorneys against a firearm industry member for the harm caused by the criminal misuse of a firearm by a remote third party. This is expressly prohibited by PLCAA. The law unconstitutionally invades the sovereignty of sister states by directly regulating lawful commerce occurring entirely and wholly outside the state of California in violation of the Commerce Clause and our system of federalism.

Further, the law not only infringes on Second Amendment rights but chills First Amendment rights by restricting protected free-speech advertising of Constitutionally-protected products that are lawfully made and sold – even when that advertising takes place outside of California’s borders.

California’s AB 1594 is clearly unconstitutional on several fronts. The law is an affront to the U.S. Constitution and rights that belong to the People. It is nothing less than an unlawful attempt to abuse the courts to achieve “legislation through litigation.”



About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

Dan Wesson DWX Compact Pistol – NOW SHIPPING

Dan Wesson DWX Compact Pistol – NOW SHIPPING

Norwich, NY (May 22, 2023) – The DWX Compact pistol inherits the best traits of two flagship pistols, the CZ 75 and the Dan Wesson 1911—handguns synonymous with quality, durability, and performance. The DWX Compact incorporates the same premium features as the full-sized DWX but in a smaller, more concealable package. Its lightweight aluminum frame and shorter barrel make it ideal for everyday carry, while its design delivers improved ergonomics.

The DWX starts with the crisp single-action fire control group from a Dan Wesson 1911 and combines it with the ergonomics and capacity of a CZ pistol. A flat, K-style trigger with a textured face offers positive contact—a familiar feel to 1911 shooters, while its grip angle and contour draw their lineage directly to the proven CZ 75 known for its comfort and control.

The DWX Compact utilizes the Ned Christiansen style frag pattern on the front, backstrap, and Henning aluminum grips for a comfortable shooting experience that provides traction. The grip’s low-profile design naturally positions the shooter’s hand high in the beavertail for optimum recoil control. CZ 75 Compact grip compatibility with the DWX allows customization with aftermarket options.

A locked-breech linkless barrel system adds strength and simplicity. Field maintenance is a breeze with the CZ-style take-down via the slide stop. Borrowing the time-proven CZ 75 Compact double-stack magazine body, the compact has a 15+1 capacity with Henning aluminum base pads for added durability.

Good sights are essential, and the DWX compact includes some of the best for personal protection and competition. A night front sight and fixed Battlehook rear sight provide rapid target acquisition day or night and easily slip in and out of a holster; both are rugged and reliable. The firearm’s DLC (Diamond Like Coating) protects the pistol’s exterior metal surfaces from wear and corrosion.

A match-grade 4-inch barrel with a bushing-less barrel system, offering shooters unparalleled accuracy and easy take-down. At the same time, its low-profile left-side safety delivers easy access for right-handed shooters. For left-handed shooters, the same ambidextrous safety used on the full-size DWX can be installed on the Compact and will be available for sale on the CZ webstore. Front and rear serrations on the slide improve grip for cocking, giving the operator positive traction even with wet or sweaty hands.

Competitive shooters will appreciate the DWX Compact’s tunability and customizability. A reversible mag release offers proper ambidextrous function. Many factory and aftermarket 1911 fire control group parts are available. Front sights for the Novak-style dovetail and rear sights for the CZ Shadow 2-style sights fit the DWX Compact. An industry standard 1913 Picatinny rail makes mounting a light or laser easy.

The Dan Wesson DWX Compact is shipping now. It’s a modern pistol with the finer points of a classic 1911 built, like every Dan Wesson, with quality materials and parts and finished with an attention to detail.

Continuing in his footsteps, Dan Wesson Firearms joined the world’s largest firearms producer CZ in 2005. The Dan Wesson legacy continues with new and exciting products and innovations from the excellent people of CZ and Dan Wesson Firearms.
