Tasco.com now includes integrated connections to Tasco social media, streamlined customer support and in-depth product pages so customers can quickly and easily find the information they need. Searchers can find products by category, with added filtering or with new and improved search functionality. Besides classics like binoculars, rifle scopes, telescopes and spotting scopes, customers will notice new red dot and golf categories highlighted on the website’s homepage.

The Tasco lineup of red dot sights is also new and improved in 2021 with the addition of two new models – the TRD130T ProPoint® 1×30 and TRDPCC ProPoint 1×30 PCC. Designed with rugged construction and versatile mounting options, both red dots offer outstanding value at an entry-level price point.

At the core of the ProPoint line is a crisp red dot with multi-coated lenses for a bright image without the blue tint found on other brands’ red dots. This provides a clear target view and aiming point for quicker and more accurate shooting, making ProPoint red dots intuitive sights for hunters and range shooters alike.

Both red dots come with capped elevation turrets and provide up to 500 hours of battery life. From front to back, these red dot sights are designed, constructed and tested to withstand relentless recoil for years of service at the range and in the field thanks to their rugged aluminum construction.

Manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the TRD130T Red Dot is $41.59 and for the TRDPCC is $79.99. For more information on these or to see other Tasco products, visit Tasco.com.

Galco FasTrax PAC Waistpack

Galco FasTrax PAC Waistpack

From Galco

An instant bestseller the moment it was introduced, and designed to blend with casual modern clothing styles, the FasTrax PAC discreetly carries a subcompact or compact defensive handgun ready for action.

Unlike old-style waistpacks that required the user to dig deeply into the pack or tear it open to draw the handgun, the FasTrax PAC uses a highly innovative combination of a pivoting holster component and external activation cord. This enables you to get your handgun into action much faster than with legacy waistpack designs. As we all know, time is often in very short supply when you need a handgun to defend yourself and your loved ones.

Comfort is key when carrying all day, of course. To maximize wearer comfort, the FasTrax PAC’s back panel is made of Galco’s Comfort Cloth™, a soft and breathable adaptive performance mesh that keeps the pack comfortable against your body when worn all day long.

Convenient concealment is also important. The FasTrax’s adjustable, stretchable elasticized waist strap also helps make for easy carry, and uses a Nexus® buckle for quick on-off capability. The pack’s contemporary flat front has a zippered pocket for carrying some EDC items. A helpful pass-through port on the front pocket accommodates cables for earbuds or other devices.

Galco’s patent-pending FasTrax PAC tops the list for comfortable, convenient carry and speed into action in an increasingly casually-dressed world.

Meprolight — Upgrade Your Handgun Sights

Meprolight — Upgrade Your Handgun Sights

From Meprolight

Chances are, if you’re reading this, you are one of the millions who purchased a new handgun in the past year or so. Should you upgrade your sights? A better question might be, do you want to increase your capabilities? Tiger McKee, Director, Shootrite Firearms Academy recently penned the following, “Shooting accurately is all about sight alignment and a smooth press or stroke on the trigger. In self-defense applications, this has to be done under any and all conditions….The sights on your weapon have to be up to the task and may be one of the first modifications you need to consider.” (The Shooting Wire.com, 4/19/21)

The engineers at Meprolight®, having served in the Israeli Defense Forces, understand the complexities of sight alignment, sight picture, and rapid target acquisition. From their experience, they have made Meprolight® into the world leader in handgun sights. Their multiple aiming solutions enable you to select the sight that best matches your shooting style. Three of the most popular are:

· Mepro Hyper-Bright™ —self-illuminated day/night sight with visually enhanced contrasting front sight

·Mepro Tru-Dot® — family of self-illuminated day/night sights

· Mepro MicroRDS™ —micro red dot optic. Make every pistol an optic ready pistol

McKee went on to say, “The majority of pistols offered today come with ‘good’ sights. However, to cut costs some factory sights are insufficient for defensive work. You can expect to install upgraded sights.“

From Hawke Optics

Hawke® Optics, a world leader in high quality sporting optics with outstanding performance in the field at amazing value to consumers, brings a new riflescope model to its value-packed Vantage IR lineup – the 2-7×32 IR. If you’re looking for a great, compact scope to mount on top of your rifle that doesn’t cost and arm and a leg, this is it.

It is a quick handling scope that gets you on target fast and is great for those close in shots, but it has the clarity and magnification for those longer shots in the field or on the range.

This scope has capped, low-profile turrets with ¼ MOA adjustment. Get on target quickly with the fast focus eyebell and high torque zoom ring. Lens covers and a battery are included. These scopes are worry free thanks to the Hawke No-Fault Lifetime Warranty.

Firearm Industry Honors Senator Kevin Cramer as Legislator of the Year

Firearm Industry Honors Senator Kevin Cramer as Legislator of the Year

From NSSF

The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearm, ammunition, hunting and recreational shooting sports industry, recognized U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) as the 2020 National Shooting Sports Foundation Legislator of the Year for his determined commitment to protect the firearm industry against discriminatory banking practices and preserving America’s Constitutional rights.

Senator Cramer was instrumental in calling for an end to the discriminatory practices against the firearm industry when he introduced the Freedom Financing Act, S. 821. The legislation was written to prevent financial institutions from accessing taxpayer-subsidized government programs while at the same time denying banking services to lawful and compliant industries. The bill would have prohibited access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window Lending Programs, Federal Deposit Insurance Company and Automated Clearing House Network to any financial institution with over $10 billion in assets, credit card processor and other financial institution which discriminated against the manufacturer and retailer of firearms, ammunition and shooting sports equipment.

“We are honored to present Senator Cramer with the 2020 NSSF Legislator of the Year Award for his bold and determined leadership in the U.S. Senate to end the discrimination against firearm businesses by those in the banking sector,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Senator Cramer has been an invaluable partner to the firearm and ammunition industry on Capitol Hill. NSSF appreciates his commitment to protect the firearm industry against this unwarranted discrimination and enable businesses to serve their customers not just in North Dakota, but across the nation.”

Senator Cramer’s Freedom Financing Act was just the first of many actions he spearheaded to guard the firearm industry against discriminatory lending practices. Senator Cramer led tough questioning of banking executives under oath to hold them accountable for their policy decisions to benefit from taxpayer protections and at the same time deny a Constitutionally-protected industry from banking services. Senator Cramer worked closely with the White House and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to publish the Fair Access Banking Rule, that was finalized by the Trump administration, only to be canceled by the Biden administration.

Undeterred, Senator Cramer introduced the Fair Access to Banking Act, S. 563 this year, that would require banks to provide access to services, capital, and credit based on the objective risk assessment of individual customers, rather than subjective broad-based decisions affecting whole categories or classes of customers.

The Fair Access to Banking Act would stop corporate banks from picking winners and losers based on executives’ personal politics. It also protects banks from outside pressure by special interest groups seeking to use the banks as a political weapon to advance their agenda. It currently has 31 co-sponsors.

Attorneys General Oppose Biden’s ATF Director Nominee

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen and 19 other state attorneys general today called on the U.S. Senate to reject David Chipman’s confirmation as director of the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), citing concerns over his approach to public safety and Americans’ right to keep and bear arms.

In a letter to U.S. Senate Republican and Democratic leadership, Knudsen and the coalition of attorneys general outlined the threat President Joe Biden’s ATF nominee would pose to law-abiding gun owners if confirmed to lead the agency responsible for regulating firearms. Chipman has a long history of anti-gun rights lobbying and activism.

“Mr. Chipman has a First Amendment right as a private citizen to work for these political organizations and to lobby for the taxation, registration, and even confiscation of firearms. Americans likewise have the Second Amendment to protect their God-given rights to keep and bear arms,” Knudsen and the attorneys general wrote. “Accordingly, we ask you to oppose Mr. Chipman’s confirmation to this important position and demand President Biden nominate someone who is not hostile to our rights and way of life.”

ATF agents play an important role in upholding the public safety of communities around the country and will be disserved by an agency director with a political agenda. Americans’ Second Amendment rights do not need to be infringed to keep them safe from violent criminals.

“Its agents deserve a director who will inspire confidence from the people they serve. Given Mr. Chipman’s history of anti-gun lobbying and political activism, Americans cannot be reasonably expected to believe he will be an unbiased enforcer of current laws,” the letter stated. “As the chief legal and law enforcement officers in our respective states, we are concerned that Mr. Chipman will make Americans less safe by diverting ATF resources to attack the rights of law-abiding gun owners instead of cracking down on violent criminals and criminal organizations.”

Attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and West Virginia also signed onto Knudsen’s letter.
