Knife Rights Foundation Launches LegalBlade Knife App 2.0

From Knife Rights Foundation

Today, Knife Rights Foundation, America’s foremost public benefit organization dedicated to knives, has officially launched the exciting new 2.0 version of its LegalBlade mobile application, the enhanced second generation of the world’s first and only knife law app. Among other significant improvements, the new Knife Rights LegalBlade App 2.0 features a new, updated design to significantly improve the user experience, make it even easier to get important knife law information.

Knife Rights’ LegalBlade app provides guidance in your pocket and at your fingertips to the knife laws of all 50 states, the District of Columbia and over 40 cities. Knowledge of the law is the first step in avoiding an unfortunate arrest, loss of your knife or other legal complications. The app is free courtesy of sponsor Blade HQ. Full details at: www.LegalBlade.org

Geolocation and a mapping interface have been added, allowing users to automatically find the knife laws in their location or by using the U.S. map or the original menu interface. Additional categories of knives have been added, as well as information on Federal and State ivory bans. The app now works in conventional vertical mode.

“Knife Rights continues to aggressively rewrite knife law in America with 32 bills repealing knife bans enacted since 2010, but knife owners in many jurisdictions still need to be careful about what knives they possess and carry,” said Knife Rights Foundation Chairman Doug Ritter, who also leads the sister 501(c)(4) Knife Rights, Inc. advocacy organization. “Our LegalBlade App was an extraordinary innovation when first introduced in 2014 and this completely new interface makes it easy for people to access the knife laws wherever they might be or travel. We, and knife owners everywhere, thank Blade HQ for their generosity and sponsorship that empowered us to develop LegalBlade App 2.0 and allow us to offer the app to everyone, free of charge.”

Mark Christensen, CEO of LegalBlade App 2.0 sponsor Blade HQ, said, “Blade HQ was thrilled to work with Knife Rights Foundation on the development and sponsorship of this app. We regularly get calls from customers in certain areas of the country, with questions about what knives they can own and what knives they can carry in their pocket. Customers travelling across state lines have similar questions. Helping with the sponsorship and development of this app was an easy way for us to get this information out to knife owners across the country.”

LegalBlade is an educational service of the 501(c)(3) Knife Rights Foundation. The LegalBlade Knife Law App 2.0 is generously sponsored by Blade HQ. Assistance in research, review of laws, and updated links to case law were generously contributed by Firearms Policy Coalition, Firearms Policy Foundation, and Evan Nappen, Esq.

Taurus Releases New G-Series Compact Pistol

From Media Direct Creative

Taurus, manufacturer of premium handguns for defense, hunting, and sport shooting, is excited to introduce the newest addition to its G-series line of semi-auto pistols, the G3c.

The new G3c 9 mm imbues the innovation and performance established by the full-size G3 9 mm polymer-frame, striker-fired pistol introduced last year while continuing the go-to dependability and value of the popular G2 series compact Taurus 9 mm handguns. The G3c is a great choice for first time, as well as seasoned shooters.

Building on the proven foundation that has made the Taurus G-series among the most popular personal defense/EDC pistols ever, the G3c advances function, reliability, and durability to the next level, starting with the ergonomic frame. Featuring a skillfully contoured palm swell, highly textured grip panels, memory pads for precise and repeatable finger/hand placement, as well as a sculpted, extended magazine base plate, the G3c offers a glove-like fit for most shooters’ hands to promote accuracy, ease of operation, and firearm retention. To assist in tactical mag changes in the event dust or grit prevents the magazine from dropping freely, the G3c mag extension includes easy-grip bevel cuts.

How Long Will a Polymer Handgun Last and Which Chemicals to Avoid.

Among its many ergonomic features, the G3c offers the 3rd generation trigger system found in the G3, carefully redesigned with a flat trigger face to concentrate finger pressure on the front of the shoe for a straighter pull. This feature allows for shorter trigger reset as well, to promote the delivery of quicker follow-up shots while minimizing trigger jerk. The exceptionally crisp trigger break reduces shot disturbance for greater downrange accuracy.

To assist in operation for shooters of all hand sizes, the G3c has an upgraded slide design that includes both front and rear serrations. This ensures a more positive grip while manipulating the slide for charging, clearing, and makes press-checks easier in ill-lit or dim conditions. For normal light conditions, a visual chamber indicator replaces the mechanical indicator, reducing parts and streamlining the slide profile.

Durability also factors strongly in the new G3c pistol. The G3c slide is treated with a Tenifer finish to minimize scuffing and maximize corrosion resistance, ultimately reducing friction for smoother operation.

Front and rear sights on the G3c have also been upgraded to all-steel construction to withstand the rigors of daily carry. The rear sight is drift-adjustable and includes serrations to reduce glare and promote faster sight acquisition. The G3c is also upgrade-compatible. The rear dovetail is cut with dimensions that accept common aftermarket sights.

The G3c comes from the factory in 10- or 12-round capacities with three magazines included. Available separately are 15- and 17-round factory magazines available at Taurus.

Part of the G-series legacy is an impressive performance-to-price ratio, the G3c does not disappoint. With an MSRP of $305.74, the G3c delivers comfort, reliability, and performance on par with or exceeding that of compact pistols costing significantly more.

The new Taurus G3c is now shipping to dealers nationwide. To learn more, visitTaurusUSA.com.

Anarchy Outdoors Introduces the First Adjustable Ergonomic Bolt Handle

Anarchy Outdoors, a leading industry innovator and supplier of precision rifle components and other high-performance firearms accessories, has introduced a significant improvement in bolt action ergonomics with the development of their new Threaded Adjustable Bolt Handle for the Tikka T1X and the Bergara B14 Rimfire.   No two rifle shooters are exactly alike and how each manipulates a bolt action may vary slightly because of stature, hand size or technique.  The new Threaded Adjustable Bolt Handle lets the shooter adjust how much the bolt handle is swept rearward which can have a significant effect on the functionality.   Anarchy Outdoors is developing this new bolt handle for other models of rifles as well.

Part of maximizing the accuracy and functionality of any rifle system is properly fitting it to the shooter.  The Threaded Adjustable Bolt Handle addresses the fine motor skills of how the shooter works the action, enabling precise placement of where handle and bolt knob are located in relation to the shooter’s hand.  The sweep of the handle can be adjusted by rotation so it is closer to the grip and rifle or further away.  Fine tuning the location of the bolt knob can have a dramatic effect on the overall feel of the rifle when working the bolt action.  Installation and adjustment are simple, and once the handle is tuned to the user’s preference, simply lock it in place with the knurled locking collar.

Anarchy Outdoors is the leader in aftermarket bolt handle upgrades offering models for rifles including Ruger, Tikka, CZ, Thompson Center, Winchester, various rimfires and more. 

The Anarchy Outdoors Threaded Adjustable Bolt Handles are the next evolution in their bolt handle upgrade product line.  They are currently available, accept any bolt knob with 5/16”-24TPI and are made from 17-4 Stainless steel with a satin finish or blackened finish.  The Threaded Adjustable Bolt Handles have an MSRP of $54.99.
