NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the firearm industry trade association, surveyed firearm retailers recently, and estimates that over 3.2 million people purchased a firearm for the first time during the first half of 2021.

The survey was conducted to learn the buying habits and factors of this year’s firearm purchasers during the first six months of 2021. Respondents indicated that 33.2 percent of customers, or 3,247,351, purchased a firearm for the first time, based on June’s total of nearly 9.8 million background checks for gun sales. Read more

HIPERFIRE® Updates Its HIPERCOMP® Recoil Muzzle Compensators For Peak Performance. HIPERFIRE’s 1st gen recoil compensators matched the performance of the best compensators money could buy for the AR15 in both .223/5.56 rifle and 9mm PCC configurations. These were known as HIPERCOMP 556C, 556CQ, and 9mm. But, customers clamored for that recoil reduction performance at a more attractive price.

HIPERFIRE went to work. We reduced not only the size but also the pricing. First, the 5.56 and 9mm comps had to have the same form factor as the MIL Birdcage flash hider. Second, they all had to exceed the recoil reduction performance of the best-reviewed compensators that we could find and test.

These goals required an optimal design that maximized propellant gas effects. The search for an optimal design usually entails hardware design iterations of trial and error that can be very expensive and time-consuming. HIPERFIRER took a different approach using Fluent computational fluid dynamics software from ANSYS to iterate faster and lower development costs.

The computer simulation environment quickly produced good results. Our new comps are the HIPERCOMP 556 and 9mm Next Gen. And, we added a third, the HIPERCOMP 762 Next Gen for 7.62 NATO AR10 and 7.62 Russian AK rifles. No other recoil compensators perform better at reducing recoil. Visit www.hiperfire.com for more information. In the ensuing weeks, we will publish data demonstrating HIPERCOMP’s effectiveness. Read more

Escort Revolutionizes Shotgun Operation System

Escort Shotguns has taken the best cycling features and made them their own.

Bentonville, AR – Escort’s Dynamax Semi-Auto Shotgun is a marvel of modern engineering. Designed to be the perfect combination of speed and comfort, the Dynamax is loaded with features that maximize both performance and value.

The Dynamax is outfitted with Escort’s ultramodern, patented Hybrid Cycling System (HCS). It combines the best features from each of the two traditional cycling operating systems, gas and kinetic. The Dynamax will cycle light loads like a traditional gas system but uses much less gas. As a result, recoil is reduced, and the cycle rate is faster and more efficient. With less felt recoil, a shooter acquires targets faster, making follow up shots more effective. Using less gas to cycle the gun also means the Dynamax does not have to be cleaned as frequently. The HCS is easy to break down, making maintenance easier than ever. Read more

Kansas City, KS – The new P-10 F Competition-Ready offers all of the popular striker-fired pistol line’s features in an enhanced, competition-ready package.

While many of CZ’s tactical handguns were born of competition guns, the new CZ P-10 F Competition-Ready pistol followed the opposite trajectory. The CZ P-10 C, released in 2017, was the gunmaker’s first striker-fired pistol. It was designed as a compact polymer-framed gun for self-defense and military use and was followed by the subcompact P-10 S and the full-size P-10 F.

The new P-10 F Competition-Ready has a barrel and slide that are a half-inch longer than the full-size model, providing a longer sight radius for the included fiber optic front sight and fixed serrated rear sight, resulting in increased accuracy. Additionally, like other P-10 models, the slide is milled to accept mounting plates for the most popular micro red-dot optics on the market—a must for any competition gun.

The pistol is outfitted with an Apex Tactical extended magazine catch, Apex Tactical extended slide stop, HB Industries trigger and Apex Tactical back-slide cover for increased performance. The half-inch longer barrel also has improved ramp geometry and a match 9mm chamber; both features were designed to improve the reliability and accuracy of the P-10F Competition-Ready. Since every competition gun needs a little flash, gold accents on the barrel slide cover and on the trigger and Henning Group magazine bases make this handgun stand out in the P-10 line and on the firing line.
