Made here in the U.S.A. in Geneseo, Illinois, the SA-35 takes advantage of modern materials and manufacturing techniques, while still retaining the appeal of the original P-35 design. The pistol features a forged carbon steel frame and slide as well as a cold hammer forged barrel for maximum strength and durability.

The pistol also features numerous performance and ergonomic enhancements. These include subtle but significant changes to barrel feed ramp and extractor geometry to ensure the pistol will work with today’s cutting-edge defensive rounds. Further upgrades include a factory-tuned trigger, 15-round flush-fit magazine, beveled magazine well, recontoured “no-bite” hammer design, modern Tactical Rack sights, extended thumb safety and more.

Alec Baldwin Should Have Known Better

By Glen Wunderlich

Charter Member Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA)

Alec Baldwin, who discharged a prop firearm on a film set Thursday, killing a cinematographer, has a history of speaking out against the National Rifle Association and other gun rights activists.

Baldwin discharged a prop firearm on the set of the western film “Rust” in New Mexico, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, and injuring director Joel Souza, 48,.

Too bad Mr. Baldwin never understood some of the most important “gun control” measures NRA teaches to American citizens. After reading the nonsense about a “misfire”, which was being reported, I already know that some glaring and deadly mistakes were made by Baldwin and supporting crew.

Safe gun handling rule taught by the NRA: Never point a gun at anything or anyone you don’t want to shoot. Mr. Baldwin violated this rule of firearms safety and has nobody to blame but himself. And, the firearm did not fire by itself; he pulled the trigger! There was no misfire!

It’s imperative that anyone presenting a firearm to another person be personally responsible to demonstrate that a firearm is safe to handle before handing it over to another person. Obviously, this was not done.

Furthermore, if Mr. Baldwin was aware of gun-safety protocol, he would never have accepted the firearm from anyone without having that person show him it was safe.

So sad that he has been blinded by his own perception of the importance of the NRA’s role in gun safety and training.

Henry Donates 65 Rifles for 11-Year-Old Girl Battling Congenital Heart Defects

Henry Donates 65 Rifles for 11-Year-Old Girl Battling Congenital Heart Defects

RICE LAKE, WI – Henry Repeating Arms, one of the country’s leading firearms manufacturers, is donating a series of 65 custom rifles to raise funds for the family of 11-year-old Sami Bernadzikowski of Elkridge, Maryland, who is battling multiple congenital heart defects (CHD). All proceeds from the fundraising campaign, which are expected to surpass $45,000, will be presented to the Bernadzikowski family.

Since she was born, Sami has undergone five open-heart surgeries with at least one more to come later and over thirty cardiac catheterization procedures. On top of a rare condition called heterotaxy syndrome, where organs are formed abnormally, in the wrong place, or missing altogether, Sami is diagnosed with several CHDs, including single ventricle, pulmonary atresia, pulmonary vein stenosis, transposition of the great vessels, and atrial septal defect. In addition, the 6th grader’s treatments require a visit to Boston several times throughout the year, adding to the overall cost of her medical expenses.

“She has been poked, prodded, and cut by doctors her whole life,” says James McVay, a family friend that brought Sami’s case to the attention of Henry Repeating Arms. “Her normal life is what anyone else would call torture, and she takes it in stride with the rarest complaint.”

“I have yet to see a photo of Sami where she didn’t have a huge smile on her face, which is incredible once you learn what she’s going through,” says Anthony Imperato, CEO, and Founder of Henry Repeating Arms. He continues, “I would like to give a big hug to Sami and her family, and I look forward to seeing how fast these rifles sell out thanks to the generosity of the Henry family.” Read more

Hornady Security’s RAPiD RFID-Enabled Safes

Grand Island, NE – Stop fumbling with keys; there is better, faster safe access technology. It’s called RFID, and it provides instant access to the safe’s contents with tags uniquely programmed for each safe. Every Hornady Security RAPiD® Safe includes this reliable high-tech system.

An RFID tag acts as the ‘key’ unlocking the safe. When the tag and the safe are close enough to communicate, it reads the unique access code electronically. There’s no need to find a key, register a fingerprint, or remember a combination using touchless RFID technology. Plus, the RFID-enabled device can be programmed to read up to five different tags, opening a world of customization options.

Hornady Security RFID tags include watchbands (located in the buckle), key fobs, and decals; none require batteries to operate. The decals adhere to plastic, glass, metal, wood — nearly any surface such as the back of a phone. RFID is a secure and reliable way to access a safe in a hurry; however, if the tag is not close at hand, RAPiD safes include a keypad as a secondary opening method. Each RAPiD safe also comes with two barrel keys for the ultimate lock-out prevention. Read more
