SK Customs Launches Second Pistol in The Untamed Series: Alacrán

SK Customs®, the Nation’s only series driven, limited edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to introduce Alacrán, the second production in The Untamed series. This exclusive production run consists of only 200 Colt 1911 Full Size Government Models pistols, each meticulously crafted to embody the essence of one of the world’s most dangerous predators, the scorpion.

“Following the success of the Untamed Anaconda, which paid homage to the mighty reptile, we are thrilled to introduce Alacrán as the second edition in The Untamed series,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Customs. “Chambered in 38 Super, these Colt firearms represent the world’s highest diversity of scorpions found in Mexico, known for their extreme venomous nature.”

Alacrán, meaning Scorpion, is a yellow scorpion endemic to Mexico. The study of their venom is crucial for the development of lifesaving antivenom, which can cost up to $36 million per gallon.

The Untamed Alacrán pistol showcases a semi-polished stainless finish on the slide and frame flats, adorned with selective 24k gold controls. Each pistol features a special engraved edition number, making it a truly unique collector’s item. The custom engraved scroll pattern on the firearm resembles the intricate design of a scorpion’s stinger, while the top of the slide showcases a depiction of a “super” scorpion in 24k gold. To further enhance the firearm, SK Customs has included Beechwood grips complemented by the 24k gold Colt Rampart. Read more

SAF Responds to State’s Appeal in MN Ban on Young Adult Carry

The Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging Minnesota’s ban on firearms carry by young adults has filed a response brief to the state’s appeal of SAF’s court victory. The case is known as Worth v. Harrington.

SAF is joined in the case by the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, Firearms Policy Coalition and three young adults, Austin Dye, Axel Anderson and Kristin Worth, for whom the case is named. They are represented by attorneys Blair W. Nelson of Bemidji, Minn., and David H. Thompson, Peter A. Patterson and William V. Bergstrom at Cooper & Kirk in Washington, D.C.

The case was originally filed in June 2021 and is now before the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. At issue is whether Minnesota’s ban on firearms carriage by young adults in the 18-to-20-year-old age group violates the Second Amendment. Earlier this year, U. S. District Judge Kathleen Menendez ruled the Minnesota law preventing young adults from obtaining carry permits is unconstitutional. Read more

Time for Lithium Batteries in Your Boat?

From Frank Sargeant

Lithium batteries have seen amazing growth in the fishing/boating biz over the last decade despite prices that are as much as 10 times higher than the conventional lead-acid batteries most of us are familiar with in our cars, trucks and boats.

Lithium-based batteries have a couple of huge advantages when they’re built right, which is why many serious boaters have invested in them despite the very high prices.

The most obvious is the extremely light weight, about 1/3 of what a lead-acid battery of similar output weighs, or even less in the case of the 36 volt models that can replace three lead-acid 12-volt batteries. Less weight is particularly important in smaller boats like flats boats, bass boats and kayaks, allowing them to float in less water and also deliver better performance.

Norsk is Among lithium batteries that can be monitored via bluetooth on any smartphone (Norse photo, with permission.

In the case of a flats boat with a 36-volt troller, the difference can be whether or not you can get up on a 12” deep flat or not. In bass boats, all that extra weight at the transom can mean water over the aft deck when you drop off plane quickly, and the weight also cuts top speed and reduces fuel economy.

The fact that one 36-volt battery takes the physical space of one 12-volt battery can also be huge in boats where space is limited. Read more

USFWS Proposes Removing Apache Trout from Endangered Species List

PHOENIX — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Aug. 10 announcement proposing that Apache trout be removed from the federal list of Endangered and Threatened Species is a huge win for fish and wildlife conservation. If delisted, it would be the first native trout species and gamefish to be removed from the list due to conservation efforts. (See short video clip from the Aug. 10 Apache Trout Recovery Partner Recognition event near Williams Creek National Fish Hatchery, east of McNary in eastern Arizona).

The Apache trout is Arizona’s state fish and is native exclusively to the streams in and around the White Mountains in the eastern part of the state on Tribal and public lands. It gained protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1973, 50 years ago. The current status of Apache trout is a result of the collaborative conservation and threat reduction actions implemented by many entities, including Tribes, federal and state agencies, conservation organizations and private citizens.

“The recovery of Apache trout is a culmination of decades of hard work and the cooperation of many partners, and is truly a success story,” said Ty Gray, Director of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Read more

Combining features of the tested M&P series with a new gas-operated, locked-breech, Tempo™ Barrel System, Smith & Wesson unveiled the M&P5.7 pistol aimed at offering a more reliable, accurate, and consistent shooting experience in a handgun platform for the increasingly popular 5.7x28mm caliber.
