ACCOKEEK, MD- Waterfowlers want performance-cold, foul weather and wet, muddy conditions combined with long shots at fast-flying ducks and geese require it. The new 20-Gauge Waterfowl Edition delivers all the punch needed in the blind, all in a slimmer, lighter sub-gauge purpose-built with the same optimal performance and specialized features found in the Performance Shop’s SBE II Waterfowl Edition 12-Gauge.

Based on the fast-swinging, easy-toting M2 Field 20-Gauge, the Waterfowl Edition M2’s streamlined and lightweight design, paired with the steadfast reliability of the honed and polished Inertia Driven® system, make it the ultimate sub-gauge waterfowl gun. Trigger group tuning for a crisper let off and better shot timing, combined with a larger bolt-cocking handle and longer, wider bolt release gives the shooter confidence handling the gun in the field, even in cold, wet conditions and wearing gloves.

ACCOKEEK, MD- Already battle-tested as the US military’s Joint Service Combat Shotgun, the new Benelli M4 takes optimal performance to another level-an M4 Cerakote™ model that can handle the harshest treatment a modern tactical weapon can expect. Cerakote™ is an abrasion and impact-resistant material that can be applied to firearms and parts including metal, plastic, composite and other surfaces, reducing maintenance and adding years of service life and functionality to any weapon.

The new Benelli M4 Cerakote™ can operate in virtually any environment. The rust-resistant qualities of Cerakote™ are up to 50 times stronger than competitive coatings, and make the weapon nearly impervious to the corrosive effects of water, salt spray and even abrasive grit and grime. The improved hardness and scratch-resistance of Cerakote™means a much longer wear cycle, and the adherence quality of Cerakote™ is phenomenal and resistant to impact, heat or the extreme treatment inherent in tactical and combat environments.

WEST VALLEY CITY, UT – To address a specific military request, firearm silencer manufacturer SilencerCo released the shortest possible hearing-safe versions of the Octane and Osprey pistol silencers.

The Octane K 45 and Osprey K 45 were designed for several leading handgun manufacturers for submission to the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System (MHS) competition – a program intended to select the next standard issue side arm for multiple branches of the U.S. Military.

At 8 and 9.4 ounces respectively, the Osprey K 45 and Octane K 45 provide an option for those looking for a minimalist profile without sacrificing the need for a hearing-safe alternative to unsuppressed gunfire. In addition to weight, the lengths of the K 45 versions were also reduced by nearly 2 inches when compared to the standard Osprey and Octane 45 suppressors. Read more

Plano, IL – In the jurisdiction of firearms and firearms storage, the most exacting of users are in law enforcement and the military – and justly so. Anything less than the best is unacceptable when lives and security are at stake. Product failure is intolerable; potentially dangerous, actually. And this is precisely why Plano doesn’t take the title of being ‘Mil-Spec’ lightly.

Demonstrating this commitment to integrity, Plano proudly introduces the Field Locker™ Mil-Spec Case series; instantly considered the finest firearms cases ever engineered. The robust series comes in five sizes and configurations, protecting valuable arms from pistols to long-guns and tactical weapons.

Precise measurements are first and foremost to being considered law enforcement and military grade. Each Field Locker Mil-Spec Case is carefully sized to fit and protect the firearms within, and can be trusted to exactly measure its stated specifications.

From there, it’s a checklist of quality componentry and vital features. Each case is formed using Plano’s inimitable molding process, which yields a reinforced shell that’s up to any task it’s assigned, from long and rugged travel to exposure to the elements.

Mil-Spec is a claim that Plano doesn’t make lightly or casually. Each of these five cases have been certified by an accredited test facility as meeting military specifications for immersion, dust, vibration and transit drop per MIL-STD-810G.

All Field Locker Mil-Spec Cases are watertight and dustproof. Secure sealing with premium Dry-Loc gaskets coupled with exact measurements insure that the contents won’t be adversely affected by water or dirty environments. This pledge to protection against environmental factors is advanced with the case’s Pressure Release Valve, which equalizes pressure divergence caused by altitude or temperature. Read more
