Henderson, NV – Hogue Inc.® is excited to announce their new Wrapter Adhesive Firearm Grip line. Utilizing the same precision fit standards as their OverMolded® rubber grips, Hogue has engineered a remarkably thin grip solution for polymer frame pistols. In order to increase grip and performance, shooters have previously resorted to custom stippling which dramatically compromised their firearm’s factory frame. Hogue now offers an effective alternative through their Wrapter adhesive system that will provide superior grip and hold while preserving the original condition of the firearm.

Wrapter Adhesive Grips are available in a soft rubber material that emulates the renowned Hogue rubber feel. Each Wrapter grip has been methodically designed to conform to the exact contours and unique features of popular polymer frame models. With minimal bulk and a multi-piece outline, every grip provides optimal coverage. A balance of sweat-resistant and non-irritational properties provides a natural and comfortable grip experience. The adhesive is designed to create a long-lasting bond when activated by heat, but can also be removed without leaving a sticky residue behind. Read more

The Baby Eagle has been an icon of the shooting world since the introduction of its ancestor, the Jericho pistol, in the 1980s. The Baby Eagle III series is the latest revision of the Magnum Research imported handgun, manufactured in Israel by BUL Transmark.

By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer

To provide more challenges for driven competitors and to create a place to permanently celebrate their talents, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has introduced the Pistol 2600 League – designed to recognize those competitors who have shot a score of 2600 or better in the Match Gun category of a CMP Sanctioned event.

The League will begin with those competitors who earn the score any time in 2020. Currently, there are 13 members.

“Shooting 2600 can be a life goal for some shooters – just as making the President’s 100 or going Distinguished,” said Jim Henderson, CMP pistol coordinator.

Henderson can appreciate the work it takes to earn a coveted Distinguished Pistol Badge (securing his own in 1989) as well as what it’s like to win the President’s Pistol competition, which is one of the most prestigious events held at the annual Camp Perry National Matches. As a retired member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (having served for over 30 years), he’s a nine-time winner of the President’s Pistol Match and is the current National Record holder of the event.

It’s safe to say he knows a thing or two about pistol competition.

“I know, for me, when I shot 2600 for the first time, I initially thought it was awesome! Then the competitive side of me spoke up, and that little voice in my head said, ‘You dropped 100 points. Get back to work,’” he reminisced.

He went on, “I think shooting 2600 is that fork in the road for a lot of competitors. They make the decision to continue to treat pistol as a hobby or get down to business and make some progression in their skills.”

Along with the 2600 group, the Pistol League also acknowledges the 2650 Elite and the 2670 Champion categories for those competitors who continue to cultivate their skills and successes. Read more
