(Atlanta, Georgia) GunTag, a newly launched company dedicated to protecting firearms from theft, is proud to present their innovative product line aimed at empowering gun owners to keep tabs on their firearms at all times. GunTag offers premium precision sighting and illumination tools, providing a comprehensive solution for responsible gun ownership in an era where gun theft occurs at an unprecedented rate.

At GunTag, their mission is to equip gun owners with the ability to safeguard their firearms. GunTag is the first to market and their products are in a category of their own. With gun theft on the rise due to home robberies and car break-ins, it is imperative to take proactive measures. Stolen firearms often end up in the hands of criminals, leading to violent crimes. Only 2% of firearms used in violent crimes were obtained through a legal source. GunTag’s location tracking and theft recovery product line can make all the difference.

Troy Deus, CEO and Founder of GunTag tells us, “The idea was born when we had 30 car break-ins in our neighborhood in one night. A number of firearms were stolen. That next morning, we received a four pack of AirTags to use for various items including our bike in case of theft. It got us thinking. If we can use an AirTag or Tile for loss and anti-theft for a bike, why not a firearm?”

GunTag empowers gun owners the ability to know the location of their firearms at all times using popular Bluetooth devices such as Apple AirTags and Tile Stickers. Discrete compartments for personal Bluetooth devices paired with tactical rugged laser sights and LED lights make for a powerful accessory with peace of mind.

ARYVILLE, TN. – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc.

(NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, announces today the release of the Performance Center® M&P9 Carry Comp Series pistols.

Whether you’re looking for a new everyday carry, home defense, or training pistol, this new series has you covered. Built across full-size, compact, and micro-compact frames, Carry Comp Series pistols are chambered in 9mm and come in a variety of capacities. The Shield Plus 4-inch barrel model ships with 10-round, 13-round, and 15-round magazines that allow the user to choose their preferred combination of size and capacity, making it a versatile personal defense carry option. The M&P 2.0 4.22-inch barrel models are offered in metal and polymer frame configurations, come in a 15-round or 17-round capacity depending on your frame-size of choice, and are trusted platforms for any training or personal defense application.

The M&P9 Carry Comp Series was developed with key features to improve the overall shooting experience of the user. The strategically designed Power Port™, located at the end of the barrel at the twelve o’clock position, diverts gas upwards, reducing felt recoil, which improves overall control. With optics-ready slides, if a user chooses to utilize a red dot, the new ClearSight™ Cut is designed to divert gasses away from the optic allowing the user to maintain an unobstructed view. If iron sights are preferred, these models also include a tritium front night sight and blacked-out serrated rear sight out of the box for an enhanced sight picture. Boasting a new aesthetic, M&P9 Carry Comp slides were developed with aggressively angled front and rear serrations to increase reliability and improve manipulation against tougher elements. All new Carry Comp models include flat-face trigger designs, grey Armornite© finished slides, and ship with a Performance Center Cleaning Kit. Read more
