Ruger Introduces SR1911 Lightweight Commander Style Pistol

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) is excited to introduce the Ruger® SR1911® Lightweight Commander-Style pistol; an aluminum frame version of the popular SR1911 Commander-Style pistol. This new model features a black anodized aluminum frame with a satin stainless finish on the slide, resulting in an attractive two-tone appearance in a gun that weighs 7oz. less than the all stainless steel version. It comes factory equipped with an integrated, polished titanium feed ramp and features thin, hardwood grip panels for concealed carry, as well as front strap serrations for improved grip.

Ruger engineers took a hard look at how they could utilize new materials to improve the performance of the aluminum-framed 1911. Most aluminum frame pistols tend to show excessive wear on the feed ramp, particularly when shooting modern hollow-point ammunition. This can result in unreliable feeding and may be expensive to correct. The new SR1911 Lightweight Commander-Style pistol comes factory equipped with an integrated polished titanium feed ramp for a lifetime of reliable performance. Read more

Plano Reinvents The Plastic Arrow Box With The All-new Crossbow Max Bolt Case And All-new Arrow Max Case

Plano, IL – Archers’ arrows are where you find them: a few in the bow case, six in the quiver, and a dozen in that cardboard thingy behind the door. Specialized arrow tubes and plastic arrow cases see their share of action too, but have their limitations. Most arrow tubes provide great crush resistance, but access is limited to a narrow opening at one end. Plastic box-type cases provide better access and more efficient storage, but may not be as strong as tubes. Read more

Triton Introduces 260 LTS Pro Bay Boat

Triton 260 LTS Pro Sets New Standard For Bay Boats

Ashland City, Tennessee — Serious saltwater anglers are calling the new 260 LTS PRO from Triton “the ultimate bay boat.” With its radical pad hull design and state-of-the-art fishing features, this spectacular fishing machine sets a new standard in the highly competitive bay boat class.

The new 260 LTS PRO (Light Tackle Series) spans 25 feet 5 inches at the centerline and boasts a roomy 8½-foot beam. It rates for outboards ranging from 250 to 350 hp, and delivers incredible performance with engines in the popular 300 hp class.

“We designed and engineered the 260 LTS PRO from the ground up to outfish and outperform all other boats in its class,” said Triton founder Earl Bentz. “We incorporated a pad bottom at the stern, which greatly enhances the 260’s hole shot, maximizes mid-range and top-end performance, and yields greater fuel economy. We also added a substantial bow flair, which serves the dual purpose of keeping the interior of the boat and its occupants exceptionally dry in rough seas while providing hard-core anglers with a massive front casting deck and unmatched storage capacity for tackle and gear.” Read more

DNR cautions anglers about ice dams, sudden changes in river flow

The Department of Natural Resources urges anglers to use caution when planning trips on Michigan’s rivers and streams this winter. Winter fishing for trout and steelhead can be challenging and rewarding, but cold air temperatures can cause sudden and significant changes in flows in rivers and streams.

According to DNR fisheries biologist Kyle Kruger, temperature effects are most pronounced at times of very cold air temperatures, particularly below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, especially if areas with extreme nighttime cold temperatures alternate with warmer days. Read more
