CZ-USA’s New SP-01 Competition Red & Blue Pistols

Kansas City, KS – The new CZ SP-01 Competition Red & Blue Pistols builds on its proven lineage, adding match-ready upgrades and race-gun features competition shooters will be excited about. This new CZ-USA high-performance pistol excels on the range and at home.

The new competition model inherits its build quality from its parent model, the SP-01, so the fit and finish of the steel frame and slide are impeccable. The pistol includes a competition hammer giving it an exceptionally crisp, light trigger pull. Thanks to the lightened hammer spring, the pistol feels lively and remarkably responsive in the hand. Additionally, the SP-01 Competition Red & Blue uses a lighter recoil spring for running target loads.

The new SP-01 Competition Red & Blue pistols feature a 4.6-inch cold hammer-forged barrel for enhanced accuracy and performance. Inside, a steel guide rod adds shot-after-shot reliability and performance. On top of the slide, a fiber optic front sight and serrated rear sight provide precise aiming in a wide variety of lighting conditions. Milled grooves on the forward and rear of the slide enhance the shooter’s grip while racking. Read more

Springfield Armory Announces New XD-S Mod.2 OSP Variants

GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the release of two new variants in the XD-S Mod.2® OSP™ line. Combining the concealability and compact size of a single-stack pistol with optics-ready capability, these new .45 ACP and 9mm offerings continue the tradition of the XD-S line by providing the pinnacle of point and shoot ergonomics.

The XD-S Mod.2 OSP 3.3″ .45 ACP delivers heavy-hitting, big-bore power to the compact pistol series, coming standard with a flush-fit, five-round magazine and an extended six-round magazine with grip extension. The XD-S Mod.2 OSP 4″ 9mm offering expands on the 9mm line, giving users a longer 4″ barrel for increased sight radius and improved ballistic performance. The 4” 9mm comes with one seven-round flush-fit magazine and one extended nine-round magazine with grip extension. Both pistols are offered with an optional Crimson Trace micro-sized red dot.

These pistols, like the entire striker-fired XD series, feature passive grip safeties. These add an additional layer of security and safety to these world-class CCW pistols. The result is a safety that is automatically disengaged when you grip the pistol, and re-engages when the pistol is no longer being held.

As part of the Optical Sight Pistol (OSP) configuration, both pistols come with a factory-milled slide for low-profile, direct mounting of compact optics for an intuitive sight picture and uninterrupted focus on target. The result is a handgun that accepts the smallest, most popular micro red dots on the market. Read more

Firearms News Features Story on Firearms Training the Israeli Way

Pennsylvania Training Academy Teaches Shooting and Security Techniques

DENVER – A new story posted on Firearms News today features an interesting and effective way to educate firearms owners on best practices in using their defense tools by learning techniques established by former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers. Program director Yonatan Stern and other IDF veterans teach the Israeli doctrine of gun fighting, designed to win – as quickly as possible – at the Cherev Gidon Israeli Tactical Training Academy in Wayne County, Pennsylvania.

The Pennsylvania-based Cherev Gidon (translated to: Sword of Gideon) is geographically close to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and garners interest from law enforcement personnel wanting to improve their skills, but more from average citizens wanting to learn proper techniques of self defense through battle tested training.

“We get a variety of people,” Stern said. “The average person who comes to us is a regular man or woman who is concerned for their safety, probably has guns at home and they want to know how to use those weapons effectively. “ Read more

Michigan Knife Rights Act Passed

October 27, 2021 – Lansing, Michigan: With a bipartisan vote of 66 – 38, the Michigan House voted final passage of our Michigan Knife Rights Act, HB 4066, that was passed by the Senate last week. This is Knife Rights’ signature Knife Law Preemption bill. Once the bill is enrolled, it will pass to the Governor for action.

As soon as the bill makes it over to Governor Whitmer’s office we will ask you to contact the Governor using Knife Rights’ Legislative Action Center.

We sincerely appreciate the efforts of sponsor Representative Andrew Fink in getting this bill through the legislature. We’d also like to acknowledge again how much we appreciated eight-year-old Remington Wilson’s testimony in support of the bill.

Knife Law Preemption is a Knife Rights’ criminal justice reform effort that nullifies existing ordinances and prevents new local ordinances more restrictive than state law which only serve to confuse or entrap law-abiding citizens traveling within or through the state. Preemption ensures citizens can expect consistent enforcement of state knife laws everywhere within a state. Read more
