Revolutionary Cabela’s Instinct clothing line makes its return

Revolutionary Cabela’s Instinct clothing line makes its return

From TrueTimber

Cabela’s is delivering world-class performance for the most dedicated and devoted hunters in the world, bringing back its revolutionary Instinct clothing line, featuring the debut of TrueTimber’s new VSX camo pattern.

The Instinct technical camo system covers hunters from the base layer to the outer shell and each layer in between. This iconic brand, a longtime favorite of hunters across North America, is making its return exclusively at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s, and online at basspro.com and cabelas.com.

The return of the world’s foremost technical camo system, the Instinct line is built for the most serious hunters who require the highest performance gear on the market. The inner layers wick sweat and bring three levels of optimized warmth. Middle layers deliver superior 3M Thinsulate insulation keeping users warm and comfortable no matter how low temperatures drop. Tough outerwear that is rugged and quiet with watertight integrity keeps hunters unheard, dry and ready for the next adventure no matter the forecast.

The high-performance design mixed with unmatched quality and construction ensures Instinct clothing can withstand any environment in even the most hardcore hunting scenarios. It guarantees hunters of all skill levels the very best in next-level performance and protection, and will be a favorite for sportsmen for generations to come. Matched with the superior concealment of TrueTimber’s revolutionary and incredibly versatile VSX camo, it makes the Instinct lineup a must-have for every hunting season.

VSX was designed using our micro and macro schematics technology, making this pattern just as effective from the top of the highest mountain terrains to the wide-open prairies and southern woodland thickets. The strategic non-directional shapes and texturization use lights and darks working together to break up the human outlines at close and long distances. The colors are made up of natural grays, browns and greens found across all outdoor environments and seasons, making this pattern extremely diverse and virtually invisible to any game users might be pursuing.

“We are really excited to see this product line launch and get to see VSX in action,” said TrueTimber CEO Rusty Sellars. “We have produced some of the most versatile, well-rounded and realistic camo patterns on the market, and VSX is really taking that idea to the next level. Users will be able to take this pattern coast to coast, in every season and have no problem blending in and we love seeing it debuted on the powerful Instinct lineup this fall.”

Cabela’s is also offering its Treadfast Zoned Insulation Boot in TrueTimber.

Galco’s Kydex EDC Upgrade System

Galco's Kydex EDC Upgrade System

From Galco

An Every Day Carry set-up isn’t just a holster, it’s a system. Galco has always advocated the integration of holster, ammo carrier and holster belt as the best method for comfortable and effective concealed carry. Galco offers a systems approach in both leather and – today’s topic – Kydex.

The Triton™ 2.0 is fast on the draw, slender in profile, and easy to conceal. The Kydex holster body allows a smooth return to the holster after the draw, while the raised sweat guard protects the pistol from corrosive perspiration – and also protects the wearer’s skin from hard steel! The Triton 2.0’s tuckable belt clips are adjustable for cant, making it suitable for the strongside, crossdraw, or appendix carry positions.


I interviewed several custom holster experts, and you may be surprised at how affordable they are.


At least one reload should always be available. The Kydex Single Magazine Carrier is packaged with both a belt slot and a quick on-off belt clip, which can be interchanged at the user’s discretion. An adjustable tension unit provides security for the magazine.

A modern take on the traditional Ranger-style belt, the EDC Belt features adjustable billet strap and a quick-release “cobra” style buckle. Constructed of SCUBA webbing, its hook-and-loop billet strap gives wide latitude for adjustment to accommodate waist variations or handguns carried inside the waistband. Rigid and extremely stable, the EDC Belt is an excellent choice for both training and everyday wear with the heaviest of handguns and accessories.

NSSF Guide for Parents—Youth Mental Health, Preventing Unauthorized Access to Firearms

NSSF Guide for Parents—Youth Mental Health, Preventing Unauthorized Access to Firearms

From NSSF

A Guide for Parents: Understanding Youth Mental Health and Preventing Unauthorized Access to Firearms

NEWTOWN, Conn. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) today released a new guide, developed in consultation with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), that helps parents recognize signs their children may be struggling with mental health issues and offers advice on how to talk to kids about suicide, make homes safer for those who may be at-risk and help reduce the risk of suicide among America’s teens.

The free resource – “A Guide for Parents: Understanding Youth Mental Health and Preventing Unauthorized Access to Firearms” – can be downloaded at NSSF’s Project ChildSafe® website or AFSP’s Project 2025 website.

“Mental health may seem like a difficult topic to raise with children, but it doesn’t have to be,” said Doreen Marshall, AFSP’s Vice President of Mission Engagement. “Talking openly with our young people about mental health, just as we would physical health, can help protect our kids and give them the support they need, long before a crisis occurs.”

Multiple studies show today’s teens are dealing with higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression and other mental or emotional health concerns than any generation before them. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a new set of challenges for teens, including loss of structure, separation from peers and increased feelings of isolation—adding to the stressors young people are already bearing.

“With these realities, it’s crucial that parents take steps to secure potentially lethal methods of harming oneself or others. That may mean rethinking how and where you store your guns and other possible methods of self-harm,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO.

The new guide covers the health, environmental and historical factors that may lead to kids being more at-risk, as well as warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide, and critical advice on how and when to take action. There are also recommendations on how to secure firearms, prescription drugs, harmful chemicals and other lethal means so they can’t be accessed by a person in distress.

“Keeping guns out of the wrong hands is a firearm owner’s most important priority, and securing a firearm is one of the most important steps parents can take to protect at-risk teens and others in the home,” Bartozzi said. “Our Project ChildSafe website offers several resources on how to determine the best safe storage option for your home and family.”

NSSF and AFSP have developed supplemental resources, including A Tip Sheet For Parents: Mental Health, Suicide Prevention and Firearm Safety and Being There for Your Friends: A Guide to Helping Prevent Suicide, for teens who may be concerned about their friends but don’t know what steps to take.

“Suicide is preventable—increasing our knowledge of adolescents’ mental health, combined with secure firearm storage options, is a powerful combination to save lives,” Bartozzi said.

Importantly, anyone experiencing a crisis is urged to reach out to any of the following resources:

  • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Call 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255)
  • Lifeline Chat: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/chat/
  • Crisis Text Line: Text TALK to 741741
  • Emergency Response: Call 911 or contact your local emergency room

Beretta Launches New Line of Hunting Knives

Beretta Launches New Line of Hunting Knives

From Beretta

Beretta is excited to announce the launch of a brand-new line of Beretta hunting knives. Characterized by handles made from a combination of walnut wood bonded with orange G10 fiberglass for enhanced durability, these high-quality knives are made in Italy with French 440C Inox Steel.

Designed in cooperation with Maserin, an Italian knives manufacturer, this new line utilizes hand-selected materials chosen for their quality standards. The French 440C Inox Steel used to craft the blades is ideal for hunting as it is hard enough to keep the edge sharp after repeated use, yet soft enough for easy sharpening (when needed) and guarantees high resistance to rust and corrosion.

“When our first Gallery store opened in the US in the late 1990s, the search was on to fill the store with products that reflected the hunting pursuits. The clear objective outside of apparel and gun accessories was to find ways to round out the customer experience, and knives became a key focus. Throughout the years, we have worked with top Global and US suppliers to explore ways to bring the Beretta innovation from firearms into this adjacent category. Our relationship with Maserin knife supplier has strengthened, and we are excited to launch this new series of hunting and gentleman knives to the US market. A classic approach to a new steel mold and stamping technologies mixed with clever branding aesthetics gives authentic personality to this collection,” Patrick Mocorro, Digital P.A.C. Sales Manager & Clothing – Accessories Business Leader, said.

This new hunting knives collection features various fixed blade knives, folding knives, and three-blade knives.

The Beretta Eland Fixed Blade Knife features a four-inch blade made of AISI 440 Stainless Steel with a walnut and G10 grip and a durable cow leather sheath. The lightweight knife, weighing 0.5 lbs., also contains a hole for additional string and a loop on the sheath for attachment to a belt. When the screws are removed, this knife features a hidden compartment inside.

The Beretta Bushbuck Folding Knife is a practical folding knife designed with certain size specifications that make it suitable for most situations hunters find themselves in. This hunting knife features a 3.3-inch AISI 440 Stainless Steel blade and walnut and G10 grip with grooves designed to provide a more secure grip and measures at an overall length of 8.8 inches long.

The Beretta Duiker Three Blade Knife is a foldable knife that contains a plain blade, a serrated blade, a screwdriver, and a skinner. This three-blade knife weighs 0.4 lbs. and is a total of 7 inches long with a 3-inch blade and a distinctive walnut wood grip.

The entire hunting knives collection is now available for purchase and retails for an MSRP ranging between $99-$229.

1791Gunleather Holsters for Optic-Ready Glock G43x and G48

1791Gunleather Holsters for Optic-Ready Glock G43x and G48

From 1791 Gunleather

Optic ready firearms are not a new concept and manufactures today continue to expand existing models as well as bring out several new firearms that are optic capable as well as OEM equipped. There is a major shortage in quality holsters that perform at the highest standard for today’s variety of optic ready firearms. At 1791 Gunleather we identified that shortage and challenged it head on with now over 20 holsters that fit over 100 models of optic ready firearms. We are excited to introduce 2 more optic ready holsters for the popular Glock G43x and G48.

I interviewed several custom holster experts, and you may be surprised at how affordable they are.

Glock first introduced the slimline G43x and G48 in July of 2019. Since then the slimline frame and 10-round capacity firearms have become incredibly popular with shooters of all shapes, sizes, and skill levels. Now, Glock has introduced a new feature to these two popular models, a Micro Optic System (MOS) configuration, and 1791 Gunleather has holsters ready for the new versions of these sidearms.

“We will continue to create new designs and modify existing models to meet the needs of armed America,” said Alex Toussieh, COO of 1791 Gunleather. “Leather is a very obliging material and our leather working artisans are the best in the world.”

The new design is a great feature for the two, already popular, firearm models. Many shooters have come to love the MOS-style optics for self-defense and other close-quarters shooting scenarios. The quick target acquisition and improved shooter accuracy are benefits that shooters of all skillsets can enjoy. With 1791 Gunleather, users of these new models have premium quality holster options offering the perfect blend of comfort and functionality.

For more information on holsters for the new optic-ready G43x and G48, visit www.1791gunleather.com.

The company also recently released paddle optics-ready holsters.

Expand Your Handgun’s Capabilities With Meprolight

Expand Your Handgun's Capabilities With Meprolight

From Meprolight

Should you upgrade the sights on your handgun? Chances are, you’re one of a million or so Americans who purchased a new handgun this past year. Thus far, you’ve done everything right; you religiously follow the four rules of gun safety, you’ve trained with your new gun at the range, you are confident with your aim point and point of impact. Most likely your training occurred under bright ideal conditions, but what happens if you have to defend yourself in less than ideal conditions—dimly lit parking garage or at night on a poorly lit street—will you be able to quickly acquire your sights, especially your front sight while under duress?

Meprolight’s engineers knew there had to be a better way to direct the eyes focus on the sight and solved this dilemma with the MEPRO Self-Illuminated Day/Night Sights . They were the first to develop contrasting, Tritium powered, colored sight combinations in order to provide the ideal day or night sight. Meprolight Tru-Dot sight dots are perfect for day, night or low-light conditions.

The highly visible MEPRO HVS Sights are available with green Tritium vials at the front and rear. To accentuate the front sight contrast, a colored ring encircles the front tritium dot . Orange and green, colors are available together with a glowing phosphoric yellow activated by light.

Models are available for over 24 handgun brands including Glock, H&K, Sig, IWI, Ruger, Springfield Armory, Smith & Wesson and CZ. Models for rifles and shotguns as well.

Like all Israeli citizens, Meprolight’s engineers served in the Israeli Defense Forces and from experience knew the limitations and demands of shooting iron sights on handguns and rifles. As a result of their hands -on learning, you can increase your capabilities to protect those around you.

All self-illuminated sights come with a 12 yr. warranty on the tritium illumination. To find your closest Meprolight™ Dealer or to learn about other outstanding Meprolight™ optics, self-illuminated day/night sights and thermal imaging devices, visit: Meprolight.US.

For more on selecting the handgun sights, an expert from Truglo explains why black sights aren’t necessarily best in my interview, and here are some more tips from a pro at HiViz.
