The Browning Ammunition products in 28 Nosler offer excellent long-range accuracy with bullet weights that are suitable for most medium- and large-size game. 
 
Long Range Pro: Designed for the utmost downrange accuracy, this cartridge is loaded with the trusted Sierra MatchKing bullet. A polymer tip and boat tail design provide very high ballistic coefficients for the utmost accuracy and consistency.

BXC Big Game: This bonded bullet is designed specifically for large, tough animals like elk or moose. An anodized aluminum tip improves the ballistic coefficient, resulting in increased energy retention at longer ranges. This metal tip also helps drive through tough hide and bone. The gradually thickening jacket profile allows for a more controlled expansion, resulting in deeper penetration and ensuring maximum trauma to the vital areas where it counts.

BXS Big Game: This polymer-tipped, solid-copper projectile is excellent for many types of game animals from pigs to deer and even big game like elk. Copper is an inherently accurate bullet material that is also very tough and maintains nearly 100% of its bullet weight on impact. This results in greater retained weight for deeper penetration and more consistent pass-throughs.

And if you’re looking for .350 Legend ammo, Browning has you covered, too.

Finding the right cartridge for long distance can be a challenge, but the experts I interviewed provided some sound advice.

Galco Tactical Slings

Galco Tactical Slings

From Galco

With sales of AR-type (and other) defensive carbines skyrocketing once again, Galco’s extensive product line comes to the rescue with a pair of tactical slings.

A single-point design, the Bungee Sling attaches to long guns via a nylon loop or an (included) HK-style snap hook. Constructed of shock-absorbing elasticized synthetic material, the Bungee Sling works perfectly for transitions to the backup handgun, support-side shooting, and muzzle strikes. Adjustable for length and ride height, the Bungee Sling adapts to nearly any shooter, regardless of size or gear worn.

Available in black or flat dark earth nylon, the Bungee Sling retails for $70.

The Simple Lanyard and Carrying (SLC) Strap offers quick and simple attachment to virtually any rifle fitted with sling swivels, and two carry positions. The first position is a conventional and comfortable two-point carrying position, allowing muzzle-up or muzzle-down rifle carry over the shoulder or across the back. In the second position – for tactical use – the SLC Strap operates much like a single-point sling, positioning the rifle at the front of the body in a safe but easily-accessed muzzle-down position. An HK-style snap hook allows quick and effortless transition between the two carry methods.

The SLC Strap is available in black or flat dark earth nylon at a retail of only $35.

And if your self-defense setup includes a revolver, don’t forget to consider the company’s new EZ Loader Cartridge Strips.

Hogue Announces New Competition Sport Holsters

Hogue Announces New Competition Sport Holsters

From Hogue

Hogue is pleased to reveal ARS Stage 1 Sport Holsters for competition shooters. Lead designer and competitive shooter, Eric Leach, boasts, “This holster is 100 percent geared toward providing an edge in competition. We have taken successful aspects from our carry line and evolved those features to increase competition speed and effectiveness. The end product is one of the most secure and operative holsters on the market today.”

The Sport ARS (Automatic Retention System) has been modified to accommodate two different locking modes. The closed mode utilizes the standard ARS thumb release method for added security. The open mode eliminates the thumb release activation and allows the holster to engage with the firearm through a friction hold. The firearm is still secure with a precision holster fitment and the reduced activation step facilitates a faster draw.

All Sport Holsters include three separate versatile attachments to cater to specific uses. The holsters come installed with an offset drop belt plate attachment. This attachment locates the firearm lower down the waist and away from the body, increasing speed and allowing more grasping room around the firearm. A QLS adapter is also included, specifically designed for 3-gun use where you can alternate your load out per course of fire. Finally, a carry holster belt plate is added for competitions that do not permit an offset belt plate attachment.

Hogue Sport Holsters are manufactured in the USA in Hogue family owned and operated facilities. Here’s a quick look at some of the new products the company introduced in 2020.

eV2 Mag Pouch from Comp-Tac

eV2 Mag Pouch from Comp-Tac

From Comp-Tac

Comp-Tac recently released the eV2 Magazine Pouch, a new inside-the-waistband, hybrid mag pouch, for customers who want to carry a spare mag in the appendix position.

This hybrid pouch is made with a top-grain, cowhide leather backing and a Kydex shell that holds the magazine. The pouch attaches to the belt with a nylon clip that is ride-height adjustable, allowing the user to set the height of the magazine in relation to their belt. The magazine pouch is also tuckable to allow the shirt to be tucked in over the magazine for deep concealment.

Features of the eV2 Mag include:

– Top-grain cowhide leather

– Kydex body

– Nylon clip is ride-height adjustable and tuckable

– Index cut on leather and Kydex for improved draw capabilities

– Designed specifically for carrying compact magazines

– Created for wear in the appendix region for quick access

– MSRP: $29

“Appendix carry has become more and more popular as the sizes of guns have gotten smaller,” explained Gordon Carrell, Comp-Tac general manager. “Many of our customers who conceal carry also like to carry a spare magazine. While many individuals can drop a spare mag in a pocket, the number of EDC items is on the rise. Having a magazine pouch helps to balance the load of wallet, flashlight, medical kit, keys, personal items, etc. The eV2 Mag compliments our popular eV2 and eV2 Max holsters, giving users the ability to keep all their ‘hardware’ up front for easy access.”

Springfield Armory Hellcat in Desert FDE

Springfield Armory Hellcat in Desert FDE

Building on its strength as the highest capacity micro compact 9 mm in the world since its launch in 2019, Springfield Armory is proud to announce an exciting new variant of the Hellcat in Desert Flat Dark Earth (FDE). It is being offered in both standard and OSP versions.

The Hellcat was an immediate hit upon its release late last year, offering shooters and CCW enthusiasts a paradigm-shifting combination of high-capacity and compact size as well as the ability to mount an optic. The result was a pistol that fully lived up to the mission statement established by Springfield Armory CEO Dennis Reese when he said, “Every detail of the Hellcat has been shaped by a singular mission—to deliver the definitive concealed carry handgun.”

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

Since its launch, the Hellcat has shown that it not only has the design features CCW users desire, but also durability, reliability and ruggedness surpassing the expectations of a micro-sized carry gun. This was proven by besting an intensive 10,000 round test, using Federal ammunition. In addition, the pistol has received accolades in both the civilian and law enforcement communities. At the beginning of 2020, the Hellcat earned the National Rifle Association’s prestigious American Rifleman Handgun of the Year award, and the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) gave the Hellcat its highest “gold” ranking within its “Member Tested and Recommended” (MTR) program.

The Desert FDE finish of the newest Hellcat variant is a rugged Cerakote coating that provides extreme corrosion resistance, and also offers an attractive contrast to the black Melonite finish on the hammer-forged barrel. In addition to the barrel, other parts and controls on the Desert FDE Hellcat — such as the trigger, magazine release, cover plate on the OSP version, sights and more — are in black for an attractive contrasting look.

A next generation defensive pistol, the +P rated Hellcat has helped reshape the way compact carry handguns are viewed. The 3-inch barreled micro compact pistol features a class leading capacity of 11+1 with its patented magazine, and 13+1 with the included extended mag.

In addition to the standard model, the Hellcat OSP features a seamless cover plate that removes to allow direct mounting of a micro red dot to the slide. Complementing the optic is the co-witnessing U-Dot sight system, offered on both the OSP and standard model. It is made up of a high visibility tritium and luminescent front sight paired with a tactical rack U-notch rear.

The class leading Springfield Armory Hellcat offers concealed carriers the best pistol in its category, and is now available in Desert FDE.
