WATCHTOWER Firearms Introduces Limited-Edition APACHE Coyote

Only 100 Units Available

WATCHTOWER, the leader in designing and manufacturing premium American-made firearms, announces the launch of the APACHE Coyote, a stunning new evolution of the original, acclaimed APACHE double-stack 1911, now finished with a proprietary Matte Copper PVD coating.

The APACHE Coyote’s Matte Copper PVD finish delivers a rich, non-reflective tone—offering both battle-worn elegance and advanced protection against wear and corrosion. Built on the WATCHTOWER’s renowned craftsmanship, this edition retains the performance that made the APACHE stand out: tactical-profile grips, an intuitive double-stack magwell, a crisp trigger pull, and ambidextrous safety controls that come together for uncompromising handling and accuracy.

Precision machined from pre-hardened 4140 and 416R stainless steel, the APACHE Coyote features a 4.25-inch slide, a 4.6-inch barrel, and WATCHTOWER’s competition-ready engineering – making it a natural extension of the shooter’s hand.

“The new APACHE Coyote is a tribute to the legacy of our original APACHE 1911, now elevated with a proprietary finish that makes it truly one of a kind,” said Graham Kolymeyer, COO at WATCHTOWER. “We built this limited edition to perform at the highest level while standing out from anything else on the range.

Fish and Wildlife Commission Passes New Wolf Regulations

The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission finalized wolf hunting and trapping regulations during a lengthy meeting Thursday where commissioners heard passionate comments from people around the country.

The Commission debated several amendments to the 2025/2026 Furbearer and Wolf Hunting and Trapping Regulations proposal that FWP released in early July. Though the regulations cover all furbearer trapping and wolf hunting and trapping, the central focus of the discussion was crafting a new set of wolf regulations.

For the 2025/2026 wolf hunting and trapping season the Commission approved a 452 statewide wolf quota, which includes a sub-quota of 60 wolves in Region 3, and separate quotas of three wolves each in Wolf Management Units 313 and 316.

The Commission established that a person may harvest 15 wolves via trapping and 15 wolves via hunting, provided that five wolves from each method of take are harvested in FWP Region 1 or Region 2. Hunters must purchase a wolf license for each wolf they harvest via hunting, but they may purchase up to 15 licenses before going afield. Read more

Migratory Bird Council Awards $2.8 Million NAWCA Grant for South Atlantic Wetlands Conservation

Third phase of successful partnership will protect critical waterfowl habitat across Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina

The North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) Migratory Bird Council awarded a $2.8 million grant to support the third phase of the South Atlantic Wetlands and Wildlands conservation initiative, led by Ducks Unlimited in partnership with state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations and private landowners across the Southeast.

“For more than 35 years, NAWCA has been the gold standard for wetlands conservation in North America,” said Ducks Unlimited CEO Adam Putnam. “Every dollar invested in the program is typically doubled or tripled by matching contributions, making it an incredible return on investment that benefits America’s hunters, migratory bird populations and outdoor economy. This program maintains its success through consistent, bipartisan support from Congress and the Administration, and we’re ready to help turn this investment into habitat that will further sustain waterfowl populations.”

This latest grant continues a successful conservation series that has already protected 3,943 acres in the project area. In addition, 2,181 priority wetland acres have been enhanced for waterfowl populations along the critical Atlantic Flyway migration corridor. Read more

Federal Judge Blocks California Ban on Non-Resident Carry Licenses

Federal District Court Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo issued a permanent injunction siding with FPC and blocking enforcement of California laws preventing FPC’s members who reside outside of California from acquiring a carry license (commonly called a “Carry Concealed Weapons” license, or “CCW”). The injunction follows the Court’s July decision that the law was unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.

The Court held a hearing to resolve a dispute over the form of the injunction. The State of California had asked the Court to issue a complex injunction requiring applicants to submit a sworn statement declaring intent to carry in a specific county within the next 12 months and limiting applications to that county — along with five pages of additional conditions and qualifications. But the Court agreed with FPC, which asked the Court to enter a straightforward injunction simply blocking enforcement of the ban altogether.

“People do not lose their right to keep and bear arms when they visit California. With this injunction, they can finally protect themselves and their families while in the Golden State,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. Read more

Following the filing, John Commerford, NRA-ILA Executive Director, issued the following statement:

“Radical gun grabbers in Massachusetts have run roughshod on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens,” said John Commerford, Executive Director of NRA-ILA. “These extreme and ill-conceived laws have created chaos in the Commonwealth, turning lawful gun owners into felons overnight. Today’s lawsuit filed by the NRA seeks to end arbitrary bans on commonly owned firearms and begin the process of restoring the constitutional rights of Bay Staters.”

FPC Warns of Trump DOJ Efforts to Block Enforcement of Constitutional Rights

FORT WORTH, Texas – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) today warned of a new Trump Administration strategy to block enforcement of constitutional rights.

In its recent brief in Elite Precision Customs v. ATF — FPC’s Second Amendment lawsuit challenging the federal ban on purchasing handguns outside a person’s state of residence — the Department of Justice argued that, if FPC is successful in striking down the law, the court should enter an extremely narrow injunction that would leave the unconstitutional law in place for everyone except two individuals and one Texas firearms retailer, allowing them to continue denying millions of peaceable people their right to keep and bear arms.

“If the Court grants an injunction, that injunction should extend no further than to bar enforcement of any laws the Court deems unconstitutional against the named plaintiffs specifically identified in the complaint,” the Trump Administration argues in its brief. “Because the [FPC] has not identified any of its members other than the named plaintiffs, the government would have no way to know whom an injunction restricting enforcement of the challenged laws covers.” Read more
