TALO Introduces the Glock 25 to US Market

TALO Distributors, Inc. and its member distributors are proud to announce the introduction of the Glock 25 to the United States commercial market. The G25 is similar in size and makeup to the G19 and G23. The major difference being the G25 is chambered in 380 Auto. Available previously in other markets in the world, this version of the G25 is made in Smyrna, GA and available to consumers for the first time in the United States.

Because of its small dimensions, equal to those of the Glock 19, the Glock 25 in the low-recoil .380 caliber can be comfortably carried concealed. Because of the low-recoil firing characteristics of the 380 Auto cartridge, it can be easily and accurately controlled.

The G25 has a 4.02 inch barrel, standard 15+1 capacity, and weighs 22.75 ounces with an unloaded magazine.

Item number UI2550203 (UPC 764503055331) is now available in the market and ready for dealers to order from a TALO member distributor. Production and availability is limited with product continually arriving to our member distributors over the next few months. Read more

Return ‘Em Right Best Release Practices Manual for Recreational Anglers Now Available

The Return ‘Em Right Best Release Practices Manual, developed in collaboration with private anglers, captains, scientists and fisheries managers, will help anglers improve the survival of reef fish that are caught and released.

Each year, millions of reef fish are caught and released, and many die from the impacts of barotrauma. Barotrauma is a pressure-related injury fish experience when reeled up from depth. These dead discards negatively impact the health of the fisheries. Anglers have the ability to reduce mortality of released fish by learning and using best practices to support the fishery, the objective of the Return ‘Em Right program.

“Research shows using best release practices can dramatically increase the survival of reef fish. This manual is yet another tool anglers can add to their tacklebox,” said Dr. Marcus Drymon, Marine Fisheries Specialist, Mississippi State University, Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant.

In December of 2021, key experts from the recreational fishing community identified the best strategies to reduce mortality of released reef fish at a two-day workshop. The manual, a product of this workshop, guides recreational anglers through choices they make during a fishing trip to maximize the chances of fish surviving release. Read more

Milestone Reached in Continuing Arctic Grayling Reintroduction Effort

In early November, three Michigan lakes were stocked with Arctic grayling.

These fish are surplus from the establishment of a grayling brood stock as part of the Michigan Arctic Grayling Initiative. The initiative has been underway since Little River Band of Ottawa Indians and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources began a partnership aimed at reintroducing this iconic species to Michigan waters in 2015.

The full partnership now includes nearly 50 stakeholder and partner groups, along with the general and angling public.

Four hundred grayling were stocked at Alger County’s West Johns Lake, 300 at Penegor Lake in Houghton County and nearly 1,300 in Manistee County’s Pine Lake.

The fish were taken from the Marquette State Fish Hatchery in Marquette and represented year classes from 2019 and 2021. Read more

New cases of avian influenza confirmed in Arkansas

LITTLE ROCK — Biologists conducting aerial surveys to generate waterfowl population estimates last week located a few small groups of dead snow geese and Ross’s geese in Arkansas, Craighead and Lonoke counties that were later collected and tested positive for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. Additional suspected cases have been found in Prairie, Pulaski, Faulkner, Clay and Poinsett counties. While sightings are not as prevalent as last year’s outbreak, the continued presence of the disease on the landscape does create a need to update hunters and anyone who has domestic birds or poultry livestock.

The risk of humans contracting the disease remains low, but hunters can help further minimize that risk by following a few simple precautions. As a general precaution, hunters should use good hygiene practices when handling, cleaning and preparing harvested waterfowl.

Rossi Survival Rifle

Bainbridge GA – Simple. Durable. Reliable. These are all words that come to mind when thinking of features in a last-ditch wilderness rifle. They’re also all features of the all-new Rossi Survival Rifle.

Built on the same tough-as-nails action as the Rossi Brawler pistol, the Survival Rifle is a 16-inch carbine with a hammer-forged barrel that accepts either 45 Colt or up to 3-inch 410 bore shotshells. The single-action trigger is crisp and breaks to the rear with minimal stacking, allowing shooters to place that all-important single shot exactly where they want it.

Additionally, the Survival Rifle features a polymer stock that holds additional ammunition, allowing outdoors enthusiasts to have plenty of extra ammo within reach. The automatic ejectors kick spent hulls and shells free of the gun with authority so that if you do need to reload, you can do it efficiently.

Lastly, the Survival Rifle can be quickly and easily broken down for easy transportation, fitting into small 72-hour bags or larger rucksacks. With an MSRP of $371, there’s no reason the newest offering from Rossi shouldn’t find its way onto your next outdoors adventure. Read more
