Havoc Tactical Solutions Celebrates Sale of 10,000th Deflector Brake on Amazon

From Havoc Tactical Solutions

Havoc Tactical Solutions, a veteran-owned firearms accessory company, is proud to celebrate the sale of its 10,000th Deflector Brake product on Amazon.

This milestone is a meaningful accomplishment to the Havoc Tactical Solutions team, who started the company in 2014. In 2017, they began selling their product on Amazon, an online retail giant. Havoc Tactical Solutions started to see a large increase in their Amazon sales in 2019, and now they have officially reached the sale of 10,000 products through Amazon transactions alone. Their goal going forward is to reach 10,000 Deflector Brake units per year through Amazon sales.

Havoc Tactical Solutions is actively expanding and is continuing to see increased growth in product sales. Their Deflector Brake product is an AR accessory that guides spent brass into a pile as it is ejected. It absorbs the energy normally contained in the ejected casing and reduces the speed and distance the brass travels by an average of 60%. It also pushes the hot brass out in front of the firing line. The Deflector Brake is easy to apply and nearly weightless. It is a disposable, peel, stick and press accessory for standard AR15 platform receivers.

MSRP for the Deflector Brake is $17.99. Havoc Tactical Solutions recommends swapping out Deflector Brakes after 1500 rounds to maintain the desired effects. Results will vary as no two rifles or shooting conditions are the same.

SCTP Packaging on Winchester Super-Target Shotshells

From Winchester

Winchester Ammunition and the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) are once again teaming up — this time with new co-branded ammunition packaging.

“This is an opportunity to keep the SCTP organization in front of millions of our customers across the United States and build interest for their mission in support of the youth shooting sports,” said Matt Campbell, vice president of sales and marketing for Winchester Ammunition.

Winchester is the official ammunition of the SCTP and displays the organization’s logo on its widely popular Winchester Super-Target® shotshell packages (symbols: TRGT128 and TRGTL128), which are now shipping to retailers and dealers nationwide.

“We want more people to learn what SCTP has to offer, and this is one way to get our brand exposed to more people,” said Tom Wondrash, SCTP national executive director. “We’re really proud of what the SCTP and SSSF organizations have been able to accomplish, and every year we see exponential growth in the number of teams and participants. We really couldn’t do it without the support of brands like Winchester.”

To ensure that this incredible trend of success continues, Winchester Ammunition has made substantial investments in the SCTP organization, including presence at the national competition in Marengo, Ohio, and a special ammunition purchase program for its teams.

Winchester is the official ammunition of the SCTP.

Blackhawk New T-Series Jacket Slot Leg Strap Adapter

From Blackhawk

Blackhawk, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, announced today that it has introduced a new T-Series Jacket Slot Leg Strap Adapter for use with the T-Series holster, allowing users greater flexibility while on the move. The new adapter bolts into the bottom of the T-Series Jacket Slot Belt Loop Holster Platform and serves as the pivot point for the T-Series holster, allowing it to stay upright and secure regardless of your leg position.

The new adapter enhances the Jacket Slot Belt Loop Holster Platform by adding the extra security of a single, high ride leg strap and eases movement with a swivel connected pivot point. Unlike a standard drop leg holster, the T-Series adapter enables the holster to remain in the upright position for an optimal draw stroke while also allowing users to extend their leg up or drop to a knee without having to worry about the holster remaining vertical. These actions are made possible by the swivel pivot point structured at the bottom of the Jacket Slot Belt Loop that connects to the leg strap versus the waistband.

The Jacket Slot Leg Strap Adapter is made from an injected molded polymer design and pivots from a single aluminum bushing through the existing platform. The strap measures 1.5-inches in width and the webbing is woven with rubber to enhance grip and stability. Through its adjustable design, owners can optimize the ride height of the Jacket Slot Leg Strap Adapter to prevent crowding and enable a comfortable fit.

If your pistol carries a red dot, the company also has T-Series holsters tailored for that mission.

Federal Hydra-Shok Deep 380 Auto

From Federal

Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep’s bullet design brings the .380 ACP cartridge to all-new heights—or in this case, depths. This new micro-handgun ammunition offering is the first expanding .380 ACP load to consistently penetrate beyond the FBI-recommended 12-inch minimum in bare gel and through heavy clothing. Shipments of this product have begun to arrive at dealers.

“FBI protocol for handgun ammunition testing includes a series of rigorous scenarios. Bullets are shot through materials such as 10-percent ordinance gelatin, laminated automotive safety glass, plywood, wallboard and heavy clothing specified by the FBI,” said Federal Handgun Ammunition Product Manager Chris Laack. “While our larger caliber ammunition is designed to meet and exceed these requirements, the smaller 380 Auto is designed to offer the best possible blend of performance in a compact handgun platform.”

Testing done by Federal ammunition engineers in their Anoka, Minnesota facilities showed typical results of 13 to 13 ½ inches of penetration in bare gel and 13 ¼ to 14 inches through heavy clothing. Test gun barrel lengths were from common, compact handguns ranging from 2 ¾ to 3 ½ inches. The bullet and load are also fine-tuned to ensure delivery of consistent performance across all handgun platforms, including ones with longer barrels, to stay within that 13- to 14-inch goal range.

“It’s a completely new bullet design. We didn’t just take a 45 ACP, 40 S&W or 9mm Hydra-Shok Deep bullet and make it smaller,” said Laack. “During development, engineers looked at several design elements such as bullet weight, jacket, skiving, profile, and hollow point design elements to determine what modifications were necessary for the 380 Auto.

Hydra-Shok Deep 380 scores a blistering 1,000 feet per second at the muzzle and delivers full expansion in both the bare gel and heavy clothing tests when shot from a variety of common compact handguns.

Features

First expanding .380 ACP to consistently penetrate beyond FBI-recommended 12-inch minimum in bare gel and through heavy clothing
Improved penetration through common barriers
Iconic center post design has been improved for better, more consistent expansion through standard barriers
Consistent, specially formulated propellant
Extremely reliable Federal primer with sealant

And for owners of self-defense pistols in other chamberings, Federal has also recently introduced new loads in its Punch line.
