MEMPHIS, TN —— Radians®, a leading manufacturer of high performance safety gear for shooters, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts, recently introduced the R-Series™ R3200ECS electronic earmuff.

Ideal for hearing range commands, this premium earmuff features digital electronics that amplify low level sounds while compressing noises that exceed safe levels. Compression takes place when sounds surpass 85 decibels – the level at which hearing loss begins. After a discharge, the earmuff quickly allows normal sounds to be heard at safe hearing levels.

The R3200ECS (MSRP $49.99) was engineered with several features to aid in both comfort and performance, including:

· Tapered, low profile ear cups, for more compatible use with shotguns and rifles

· Compact folding feature for easy portability and storage

· Two, independent microphones, right and left, to amplify low level sounds

· Electronic circuitry ensures impulse noises (muzzle discharge) above unsafe levels are not amplified. “Compression” technology means the user’s ability to hear surroundings is not interrupted, but is protected.

· Soft ear cushions and a premium adjustable headband allow for a comfortable, custom fit to deliver a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 23db.

· A 3.5mm jack and accessory cable (included) allow the user to easily connect a smart phone, radio or digital audio device for stereo playback

· An LED “on” indicator light helps to prevent unintentional battery discharge

· Operates with two AAA Alkaline batteries – not included. Read more

SMYRNA, GA. – The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has denied GLOCK, Inc.’s protest of the Army’s award of the Modular Handgun System (MHS) contract to Sig Sauer.

The focus of GLOCK, Inc.’s protest was that the U.S. Army did not complete the testing outlined in its Request for Proposal (RFP) before awarding the MHS contract to Sig Sauer based only on limited initial testing. During this initial testing, there were no significant differences between the GLOCK and Sig pistols based upon the technical factors that were evaluated. In fact, Sig Sauer was awarded the MHS contract prematurely based upon price.

The remainder of the testing outlined in the RFP that was not conducted was intended to competitively evaluate the two proposals based upon more comprehensive and stringent testing. This testing would have measured the service life, safety, reliability, and accuracy of the pistols in use while being fired by the warfighters.

“By not completing the testing on both proposals on a competitive basis, the Army never determined which pistol would better meet the warfighter’s needs,” said GLOCK, Inc. Vice President Josh Dorsey. We are confident had the Army completed the testing, the GLOCK 19 would have outperformed the Sig P320, as it had in recent testing conducted by a leading federal law enforcement agency which resulted in GLOCK, Inc. being awarded that contract. GLOCK pistols have been battle proven by select units of the U.S. military forces for the past ten years. GLOCK, Inc. stands with the men and women serving in the Armed Forces and will continue to give them its full support. Read more
