XS Minimalist Night Sights Now Available for Colt Python Revolvers

Fort Worth, Texas – XS Minimalist night sights are now available for Colt Python revolvers. True to their name, Minimalist sights are designed for shooters who want a simple and effective notch and post sight with no extra frills.

The front sight features a tritium center surrounded by a glow dot that comes in two color options – green or orange – to best suit individual preference. The windage adjustable rear sight is a serrated, blacked-out anti-glare notch with a wider width to help drive your eye to the front and quickly align your sights.

“The serrations in the rear of our Minimalist sights drive focus downrange,” said Jeff King, Marketing Manager, XS Sights. “With our bright front sight, upgrading factory sights with XS sights makes these revolvers all the more effective by driving your eye to the target for faster acquisition and improved accuracy.”

NRA Lands Major Legal Victory: New Mexico Waiting Period Law Ruled Unconstitutional

In response to the major Second Amendment victory in Ortega v. Grisham, the NRA lawsuit against New Mexico’s seven-day waiting period law, John Commerford, Executive Director of NRA-ILA, released the following statement:

“In courtrooms across America, the NRA is successfully leading the charge to protect law-abiding Americans’ Second Amendment rights. The 10th Circuit has sided with the NRA and held that radical waiting period laws are indeed unconstitutional.

Finding answers requires reading, searching and retaining knowledge from these traditional formats. The Raven Guide harnesses all of that information in a simple to use chatbot that can be accessed by desktop or mobile and can be used to apply, plan and stay legal in the field.

Blaser F16 Pro Series Shotgun Wins Outdoor Life Editor’s Choice Award

The Blaser F16 Pro Series over-and-under shotgun was named Editor’s Choice by Outdoor Life in the competition category. Described by Outdoor Life as a “Fabulous shooter,” the test team also mentioned its “Excellent craftsmanship” and “very good value”.

“Shooting a Blaser F16 Pro in a sporting clays competition won’t guarantee anything beyond a participation trophy, but you sure as hell will shoot better and tip the odds in your favor of a podium finish if you shoulder one.

This is a purpose-built over and under with one goal in mind – pulverizing clay targets no matter how far away or fast they are traveling. The 32-inch ported barrels and 8.5-pound weight make this the softest shooting double we’ve ever tested, as well as one of the sweetest swinging 12-gauges we’ve shot.” John Snow, Outdoor Life Shooting Editor

Designed by Blaser Pro Staff and World Champion shooter Cory Kruse, and available in right-handed and left-handed models, the F16 Pro Series features an elegant walnut stock (wood grade 4) with an adjusted pitch angle. This allows for a more comfortable flush fit mount on the shoulder while further dispersing felt recoil. Added weight in the stock and barrel deliver perfect balance while aiding in recoil reduction in conjunction with the new Kick-EEZ® butt pad.

The F16 Pro Series 32” barrel comes with RHINO’s patented 13-port “pigeon porting” system and RHINO G1 series chokes with GP30 nonstick coating, exactly like those used by Cory Kruse in competition.

“It is an honor to receive Outdoor Life’s prestigious Editor’s Choice award, and we appreciate their recognition of the time and effort that Cory and the Blaser team put into the design of the F16 Pro Series,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “This shotgun is tournament ready out of the box, and the reduced recoil and balance of the F16 Pro Series make it a dream to shoot.”

Michigan DNR Researchers to Test trail Cameras in Elk Survey

Researchers from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources will pilot the use of trail cameras to estimate the state’s elk population as part of a larger research project aimed at determining the most accurate and cost-effective way to manage the elk herd.

The DNR’s Wildlife Division recently set up about 200 cameras in and around the core elk range, which encompasses some 1,100 square miles across northern Lower Michigan. Most of the cameras are on state-managed land, although DNR researchers worked with landowners to set up cameras on private land as well.

Camera data will be compared against the DNR’s current method of estimating the elk population – aerial surveys – to determine which method is more precise and cost-effective.

Springfield Armory Announces Launch of Echelon 4.0C Comp 9mm

Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the release of the Echelon™ 4.0C Comp 9mm, an integrally compensated variant of the 4”-barreled compact Echelon 4.0C pistol. Engineered for carry like the 4.0C, the new Echelon 4.0C Comp carries on the duty-ready tradition of the full-size Echelon 4.5F, but with the addition of the integral compensator for enhanced control and performance.

The integral compensator featured on the 4.0C Comp is discreetly designed with a single port on the top of the hammer-forged slide and barrel. Redirecting gas upwards, it effectively reduces muzzle rise and enhances control. The result is a pistol that delivers faster and more accurate follow-up shots. In addition, the front sight is positioned behind the compensator for an uninterrupted sight picture.

At the heart of the fully ambidextrous Echelon 4.0C Comp 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 Read more

Henry Repeating Arms Introduces Mini Bolt Youth G2 Rifle

Henry Repeating Arms, one of America’s leading firearms manufacturers, is proud to announce the release of the Mini Bolt Youth G2, a refined and thoughtfully upgraded version of its popular single-shot .22 caliber bolt-action rifle designed for youth learning the basics of marksmanship and firearms safety. The key improvement is an integrated feed ramp in the receiver, allowing for effortless loading and smoother operation.

Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel barrel and receiver, the Mini Bolt Youth G2 is designed to withstand the wear and tear of training environments like camps, ranges, and instructional programs. Weighing just 3.25 pounds, it’s light enough to shoulder comfortably while maintaining the durability and balance you expect from a Henry. The synthetic stock features wraparound checkering for a secure grip and is available in both classic black and vibrant Muddy Girl® camo finishes.

Safety is central to the design. The Mini Bolt Youth G2 incorporates both a manual thumb safety switch and an exposed cocking knob at the rear of the bolt. This dual-layer system provides visual and tactile confirmation before each shot, making it easier for mentors to demonstrate and reinforce responsible firearm use.

To ensure accuracy and boost confidence from the very beginning, the rifle features bright fiber optic sights with two red rear dots and a green front dot for an easy-to-acquire and easy-to-teach sight picture in a variety of lighting conditions. With an 11.5” length of pull, it’s proportioned to fit smaller frames comfortably. Read more

From Marsh to Timber, the Franchi Affinity is Built for the Hunt

As the first flights return to the skies, there’s one shotgun waterfowl hunters trust to be at their side—the Franchi Affinity series. With its refined ergonomics, rock-solid reliability, and proven Inertia Driven® semi-auto action that cycles everything from standard to magnum loads, the Affinity is built to perform when the marsh comes alive. From windswept ag fields to shadowed flooded timber, it’s ready to deliver season after season, right alongside your most trusted hunting partner.

Now, 13 years after its introduction, Franchi presents a redesigned platform with the all-new Affinity 3.5 Waterfowl Elite and Affinity 3 Waterfowl Elite. Built for the waterfowler, the Affinity Waterfowl Elite series enters 2025 with a fresh look that holds to the manufacturer’s Italian craftsmanship heritage while advancing performance-driven refinements in operation, comfort, and handling.

A quality waterfowling piece must be smooth to mount, easy to swing, and maintain a solid grip in the hands under the toughest of conditions. The Affinity Waterfowl Elite’s upgrades meet those criteria with a thinner forend and more robust checkering, offering exceptional grip for decisive mounting and muzzle control.

To ensure fast, fumble-free loading, the Affinity Waterfowl Elite comes with a new two-piece shell latch. This innovative design, combined with a larger loading port, makes reloads quick and easy when the birds are coming in hot. Other functional upgrades include a larger, elongated bolt release button and an oversized and textured bolt handle so you never miss a beat — even when wearing gloves. Read more
