UTG Pro Offers Super Slim Keymod Rail System for .308 AR

When the question of “Made in USA” is brought up in the firearm industry, it is hard to think of anything more American than the iconic AR-10. Designed well ahead of today’s extremely popular 5.56 AR’s, the AR10 in .308 caliber has seen its glory renewed, with more manufacturers and variants produced now, than ever before. It’s definitely not a simple task to come up with ways to improve on the ergonomics and handling of a firearm legend, and so, it is with the greatest care and attention to detail that Leapers/UTG has committed to making high quality accessories, tailored to the 308 platform.

Firearms Industry Execs in DC for Congressional Fly-IN, Cleveland Shoots Itself in Foot for Industry Summits

At the same time, however, Cleveland, Ohio, a growing, vibrant city with good hotels, restaurants and a vibrant social life, effectively told the shooting industry they weren’t interested in their dollars. The City Council passed sweeping gun-control legislation, ranging from redundancies of state laws to local regulations described as a “revenue stream with new fines” that included requirements to report private gun sales to police, restrictions of firearms by anyone under 18 years of age without adult supervision and requirements to report lost or stolen firearms.

“In light of these developments,” blogged the NSSF’s Chris Dolnack yesterday, “NSSF can no longer consider the City of Cleveland a candidate for hosting an event as important to our business as the Industry Summit. Events such as the Summit require a significant investment of our and our members’ dollars and time for the betterment of our industry. NSSF cannot permit that investment to benefit a city whose current leaders will not in turn support our 2nd Amendment rights and the continued success of the firearms industry. “

STI Introduces Two New Competition Pistols

DVC Limited Model

DVC Open Model

Designed around the concept of Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas, the motto of the I.P.S.C (International Practical Shooting Confederation) – meaning Accuracy, Power, Speed, the new DVC Limited and Open competition pistols are designed to win matches right out of the box.

Both pistols are an entirely new design based off of the tried and true 2011 and are built specifically for competitive shooting. The guns feature a wider than standard frame with a full length dust cover with added cuts for style and balance. An all new sear design breaks like glass at a clean 2-2.5 pounds. The grip has been hand textured, reduced and undercut by Extreme Shooters in Havasu City, Arizona. All steel parts have been hard chromed for maximum durability in all situations. The guide rod is a Dawson Precision tool-less and the DVC models are the first factory guns to employ this innovation. Another first for STI is that both DVC pistols come with two 140mm magazines each. The 5″ precision fit bull barrels have been coated with Titanium Nitride for optimized hardness, lubricity and longevity.

On the Limited model, weight has been removed from the slide to help keep the gun balanced, increase cycle rate, and reduce forward recoil. The front sight is a Dawson Precision fiber optic and the rear is fully adjustable. Available in 9mm and .40 S&W the DVC limited makes a perfect 3-Gun, U.S.P.S.A. or I.P.S.C gun. MSRP is $2,799.

SAF Lawsuit Allowed Chicago Uber Driver to Carry, Defend Self, Others

BELLEVUE, WA — A defensive shooting incident in Chicago involving a legally-armed Uber driver who intervened when a gunman opened fire on a crowd in Logan Square could not have happened without a concealed carry law that was passed by the Illinois Legislature because of a federal lawsuit brought by the Second Amendment Foundation.

No charges will be filed against the unidentified Uber driver, who used his licensed handgun to stop the alleged shooter, a 22-year-old man who now faces criminal prosecution. SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb noted that, had this armed citizen not been present, this incident could have turned out much differently, and much worse. Read more

Moms with Guns to Highlight Concealed Carry Expo

How does your average, everyday mom go from teaching college level critical-thinking classes to teaching firearms classes? Beth Alcazar, USCCA writer, instructor, and author of the “Pacifiers & Peacemakers” column, will share her compelling story at the upcoming USCCA Concealed Carry Expo, May 8-10, 2015. This first-ever event, located at the Washington County Fair Park in West Bend, Wis., plans to bring together all aspects of the concealed-carry industry, including the fast-growing women’s segment.
