Hornady Security RAPiD Vehicle Safe

The Hornady Security RAPiD Vehicle Safe completely changes the game regarding storing firearms and valuables in a vehicle. The RAPiD Vehicle Safe allows users to keep their handguns and other valuables safe without coming at the cost of vehicle modifications. The attached inflatable bladder slides between the center console and the driver’s seat of any vehicle. By squeezing the inflator bulb, the inflation bladder holds enough tension to keep the safe in place. A cable then anchors the safe to a hard point while its padding on one side protects the vehicle from installation damage.

The RFID entry system allows for touchless, fast, dependable entry when users need quick access to their handguns. RFID stickers, key fobs, or watchband tags allow maximum versatility and fast access when the user needs their handgun. The RFID stickers can be placed upon existing key fobs and scanned over the RFID reader to open the safe. The RFID watch band fits most common-sized wrist watches allowing users who do not wish to carry a key fob rapid access to the safe.

The RAPiD Vehicle Safe affords the user two different ways to power the safe. The 12VDC car adapter allows the safe to be powered by vehicle power. For those that do not desire to have or can’t plug the safe in, the safe has the option to get power from four AAA batteries. The two power sources allow for all-time access to the user’s handgun regardless of whether the vehicle is running. The safe can be programmed with a 4-6 digit security code and includes a barrel key for back-up entry in the case of a power failure. Read more

Following the extremely successful launch of the optics-ready FN 502 Tactical, FN America, LLC is pleased to announce the expansion of its .22LR offerings with the all-new FN 502 MRD. The company released its first rimfire in 2021, the FN 502 Tactical, setting the bar high for future rimfire releases. However, none can best the fact that the FN 502 is the first purpose-built .22LR pistol designed for high round count training sessions while delivering maximum fun on the range.

“When we first started the development of the FN 502 platform, our goal was to up the ante for quality and versatility in a new rimfire pistol, applying our expertise in factory milled optics-ready slides, suppressor-ready barrels, and professional-quality triggers, some of the most sought after benefits in the FN 509 and FNX pistol product lines. We truly set a high bar for the industry,” said Chris Cole, Vice President of Sales for FN America, LLC. “The MRD model is the natural evolution of the FN 502 platform, allowing users to add a red dot, and make the most of the exceptional trigger. The MRD model offers another high-performance .22LR pistol for our customer base who value affordable quality in their rimfire pistols.” Read more

MidwayUSA Foundation Collaborates with Industry Leaders to Feature Makayla Scott’s Field of Dreams During National Shooting Sports Month

MidwayUSA Foundation currently funds approximately 2,800 youth shooting teams at the high school and collegiate level. This results in thousands of youth athletes competing in shooting sports across the nation because funding is available. One of those athletes can be found in the hills of West Virginia breaking clays on a trap field that exists because of her determination and industry leaders believing in her goals.

Makayla Scott wasn’t always so determined. In and out of foster care at a young age, she struggled to fit in. That changed when she found her forever family in The Scotts and at the same time, found her passion for pulling the trigger. Makayla was twelve years old when she joined the local 4-H shotgun team and recalls that life-changing moment. “There was a wonderful team of coaches that got me behind that shotgun. As soon as I took that first shot, the first thing I hit…it was like fireworks.” Fast forward years later and Makayla’s desire to give other youth that same experience, led to building a trap field in her own backyard. Appropriately named ‘Field of Dreams,’ Makayla turned this dream into a reality through hard work and the collaboration of three companies. Read more
