New Gun Developed for Law Enforcement by Florida Company Receives Patent

APOPKA, Fla. – Spike’s Tactical, a Florida-based gun and weapons manufacturer, announced Wednesday the issuance of U.S. Patent 9,879,933 by the U.S. Patent Office for Spike’s Recluse, a single stamp, integrally suppressed, 9mm Armalite Rifle (AR) upper receiver.

A critical benefit to Spike’s pistol-caliber carbine (PCC) is the weapon being interchangeable with Glock and Colt 9mm magazines. According to Glock’s website, the Glock 17, a 9x19mm handgun, is the most widely used law enforcement pistol worldwide. The Recluse allows for law enforcement to use the same ammunition and magazine in their rifle as their common sidearms.

“We’re very excited about receiving this patent,” said Randy Myers, the inventor behind Spike’s Recluse. “This particular upper receiver will serve as a versatile tool, particularly for law enforcement and emergency service personnel.”
The Recluse is also available for public purchase and features an integral, barrel-nut-mounted firearm sound suppressor. The barrel nut portion and the forward tube are permanently fixed together, creating an extension greater than 16 inches.
It is also quickly becoming a popular choice for people competing in pistol-caliber carbine competitions. Read more

Michigan: Gov. Rick Snyder awards $500,000 to Carp Tank innovation challenge winners

Edem Tsikata of Boston, Massachusetts accepts the grand prize at the Carp Tank from Gov. Rick Snyder, David Lodge, Jeff DeBoer and Dr. Denice Shaw.

DETROIT, Mich. – Governor Rick Snyder Tuesday announced the grand prize winner of the Great Lakes Invasive Carp Challenge.
