Wilson Combat proudly unveils Project 1, the inaugural release in the groundbreaking Division 77 series, redefining innovation and performance in firearm design. Created as a proving ground for advanced research and development, Division 77 pays homage to the legacy of Bill Wilson’s 1911 standards set in 1977 while pushing the boundaries of modern weaponry. Project 1 exemplifies this mission, delivering unmatched speed, accuracy, and reliability through cutting-edge features:

  • Innovative Optic Pin System: Seamlessly transition between RMR, RMSC, and DeltaPoint Pro footprints. Rear-mounted optics placement offers unobstructed chamber access for a hassle-free red-dot experience.
  • Precision-Cut Ported Slide, Plus Integrated Compensated Barrel: A ported slide paired with an integrated compensator minimizes recoil, enabling faster target acquisition and greater control.
  • Dynamic Recoil Analysis System (DRAS): Project 1’s performance was fine-tuned using 2,000 pressure data points, capturing every detail of the recoil cycle. DRAS testing ensures peak reliability and precision, setting a new standard in pistol design. The Project 1 features 42% recoil reduction in comparison to our standard X9.
  • Enhanced Ergonomics and Reload Features: Features an integrated competition-flared magwell and precision-machined 18-round base pads for fast, confident reloads in high-stress scenarios.
  • Innovative Cover Plate with Integrated Firing Pin Stop: The newly designed cover plate features a dovetail rear sight and an integrated firing pin stop, creating a movement-free iron sight platform. This ensures seamless transitions between optics and iron sights without the need to re-zero, maintaining zero even after removal and re-installation.

Project 1 represents the forefront of Wilson Combat’s innovation, blending groundbreaking technology with time-tested craftsmanship. This pistol is designed to redefine your shooting experience with unparalleled performance and precision.

To celebrate this launch, the first 100 Project 1 pistols will ship in a custom metal case with a commemorative challenge coin, making them instant collector’s items.

Discover Michigan’s Weird and Wonderful Winter Ducks

Winter brings a fascinating cast of characters to Michigan’s waterways—ducks! As colder temperatures and icy winds freeze Arctic and boreal waters, an array of waterfowl (over 30 species!) migrate south to find their winter haven in Michigan.

Here are just a few reasons to love these winter ducks:

  • They are beautiful. From the elegant northern pintail, with its dapper three-piece-suit plumage, to the playful surf scoter, which sports a striking orange bill, many winter ducks catch the eye of bird-watchers.
  • They have unique adaptations and behaviors, which are a delight to watch. Surf scoters can dive deep for food amid cresting waves, while the common goldeneye occasionally shows off its quirky mating displays in the winter.
  • They gather in awe-inspiring congregations. Up to tens of thousands of waterfowl can be seen on Great Lakes open waters! One species, the ruddy duck can often be found in large flocks, rarely mixing with other ducks, as they strut a punky tail and vibrant blue beak. Read more

CCRKBA: Hunter Traitor Biden Pardon ‘Despicable’ Exercise of Double Standard

BELLEVUE, WA – The weekend pardon of convicted firearm felon Hunter Biden by his father, President Joe Biden—who had repeatedly vowed not to exercise this executive power—was a despicable exercise of the political double standard for which the Bidens and other political elitists are infamous, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said.

“This pardon is an affront to all the people who have been convicted and or served prison time for falsely filling out the same federal form that Hunter Biden did,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Especially those who committed a non-violent crime as a young adult and were never told that they lost the right to own a gun and had no intention of lying.

“President Biden lied when he said he would not pardon his son Hunter,” Gottlieb added. “To use a famous quote from Biden himself, the President is ‘a lying dog face pony soldier.’” Read more

Springfield Armory Compact Echelon 4.0C 9mm

GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the release of the Echelon™ 4.0C 9mm, a duty-grade compact pistol engineered for carry. At its launch in 2023, the full-size Echelon 4.5F set a new standard for modern, striker-fired duty pistols. The new Echelon 4.0C carries on this tradition, but with a shorter 4″ barrel and compact frame for enhanced concealability.

At the heart of the fully ambidextrous Echelon 4.0C lies the patent-pending Central Operating Group. Employing cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, it is made up of an entirely self-contained and serialized stainless steel chassis. The result is a system that is easily moved between available grip modules in seconds. The pistol comes standard with the small grip module and three interchangeable backstraps, while medium and large grip modules can be purchased separately.

Further adding to the pistol’s adaptability is its truly innovative Variable Interface System, which employs patent-pending self-locking pins that ensure consistent and reliable point of aim/point of impact. In addition, the pins can be positioned to fit the footprints of a wide range of popular optics. This allows for an unparalleled direct-mount fit between the pistol’s slide and optic.

The Echelon 4.0C comes standard with two magazines — a flush-fit, 15-round magazine; and an extended, 18-round variant. Both magazines feature a scratch- and wear-resistant blacked-out coating for rugged durability and hard use.

The Echelon 4.0C is offered in numerous variants, Read more
