N8 Tactical Holster for Springfield Armory Hellcat

From Media Direct Creative

N8 Tactical, a modern-day holster company with a mission to provide quality products with superior comfort for all-day carry, every day, continues to offer the Professional Holster including fits for the Sig Sauer 365 and Springfield Armory Hellcat.

The Professional Holster is designed around N8 Tactical’s Original holster concept, which includes a rugged leather backer that delivers full coverage of the holstered firearm to maximize concealed carry comfort by eliminating pressure points. Contributing to the all-day-comfort wear of the Professional Holster is a moisture-proof neoprene core behind the leather backer and a soft suede backing to reduce friction irritation.

Unlike the Original Holster, the Professional Holster features a firearm-specific polycarbonate pocket to optimize firearm stability. Engineered for one-hand holstering, the Professional Holster incorporates a Secure Twist Release™ retention system. With this system, the firearm cannot be released without applying a slight twist prior to draw, adding an additional level of retention safety.

The Professional Holster’s LockDown Clip allows shirts to be tucked for a cleaner appearance. Another key benefit of the LockDown Clip is it allows for cant adjustment to suit the individual’s carry preference. Simply unlock the clip, rotate to the desired position, and then lock it into place.

The N82 Tactical Professional Holster comes with a Two Week, Try it Free Guarantee and a lifetime warranty. Go here for more information on the Professional Holster.

Springfield Armory Releases Vickers Tactical Master Class 1911

Springfield Armory Releases Vickers Tactical Master Class 1911

From Springfield Armory

Developed in concert with retired U.S. Army 1st SFOD-Delta combat veteran Larry Vickers of Vickers Tactical, Springfield Armory is proud to present the new Vickers Tactical Master Class 1911, a Lipsey’s Distributor exclusive offering.

Harnessing its decades of 1911 manufacturing experience and the rugged foundation of forged steel major components to deliver a lifetime of service, Springfield Armory brought a lot to the table in developing this new combat-grade pistol. Combine that with the unassailable credentials of Larry Vickers, and you have a .45 ACP pistol ready for any possible contingency.

“We are extremely proud to have partnered with respected firearms expert and combat veteran Larry Vickers of Vickers Tactical on this exciting new pistol,” said Dennis Reese, CEO of Springfield Armory. “This pistol, which combines Vickers’ tactical expertise with Springfield Armory’s renowned manufacturing skills, delivers a top-tier 1911 for the most serious of applications.”

“I’m pleased with the Vickers Tactical Master Class 1911 and how a real team effort brought it together. Springfield Armory, Lipsey’s, Wilson Combat and I got to work to bring a superb quality pistol to the market at a great price point. I’m proud to be a part of it,” explains Vickers.

Priced at an MSRP of $1,495, the new Vickers Tactical Master Class is designed from the ground up to deliver when it counts. As a Master Class pistol, it features premium grade components and exceptional attention to detail. Featuring a forged carbon steel slide and frame with Springfield’s Black-T® finish and a 5″ forged match-grade stainless steel barrel, this Master Class pistol is designed for intensive round counts and harsh environments.

The slide features the iconic Vickers Tactical logo as well as the Vickers Elite Battle Sight rear matched to a tritium/luminescent front dot. Specialized proprietary slide serrations at the rear ensure reliable and consistent racking of the slide under any condition.

The rugged pistol weighs in at 41.5 oz. with an empty magazine, and has an overall length of 8.6 inches. The pistol comes packed with two eight-round Vickers Duty Magazines. The rugged green grips are made from G10 and also feature a Vickers Tactical logo. Rounding out the package are a Wilson Combat Tactical single-sided thumb safety and Bullet Proof® Commander Hammer.

Delivering a pistol from a manufacturer that knows how to build a 1911 right and a combat veteran who knows what features it needs, the new Vickers Tactical Master Class is a must-have addition for the collection of any serious handgun shooter.

Federal Ammunition Introduces New MeatEater Bismuth Loads for Waterfowl and Upland Hunting

Federal Ammunition Introduces New MeatEater Bismuth Loads for Waterfowl and Upland Hunting

Bring back the performance of lead—without the heavy metal—with new Federal Premium Bismuth, the freezer-filler shotshell ammunition of MeatEater’s Steven Rinella. This new line of ammunition features high-quality 9.6 g/cc density bismuth pellets. Its payloads pattern and hit birds like traditional lead, providing more killing power at longer ranges. Twelve cartridge options are available in the new Bismuth product line. Options span from 12-gauge, 3- and 2 3/4-inch to 20-gauge, 3-inch in shot sizes of 3, 4, or 5. Shipments of this new product have begun to arrive at dealers.

Memories and a meal are riding on every hunt. No one knows this better than MeatEater’s Steven Rinella, who travels the world looking to put wild game on his plate. Federal has partnered with the conservationist, author and hunter on this exclusive new line of Bismuth shotshell ammunition. Look for Rinella’s photo on the box, along with one of his own mouth-watering wild game recipes.

“Our Federal Premium Bismuth’s impressive ability to effectively harvest upland game and waterfowl, due to its dense material construction, is what our customers love about it the most. Bismuth is also legal on public lands for all upland game and waterfowl, so it is a popular steel-shot alternative,” said Federal Shotshell Product Director Rick Stoeckel. “And as a bonus, Grandpa’s old shotgun isn’t limited to just the trap range anymore. It could be used on a hunt, without the worry of damaging it with steel shot.”

Federal Premium Bismuth shot is softer than tungsten and steel, allowing use in older shotguns as well as modern guns. The loads’ FLITECONTROL FLEX wad tightens patterns and increases lethality over comparable steel loads. This ammunition provides enhanced performance over steel that some waterfowl and upland hunters are seeking.

Features
• New Premium payloads of high-quality 9.6 g/cc bismuth pellets
• Shot is almost as dense as lead for greater lethality at longer ranges than steel
• Meets non-toxic requirements for waterfowl and upland hunting
• Bismuth is safe and effective for use in all shotguns
• FLITECONTROL FLEX wad for dense, consistent patterns
• Consistent, reliable components and Federal’s lead-free Catalyst primer

Vortex Diamondback HD 15x56 mm Binocular

From Vortex Optics

Hunting open country is demanding enough without having to carry inadequate or unnecessary gear. For the dedicated hunter looking for a binocular powerful enough to replace a spotter in their pack, the new Vortex Diamondback HD 15×56 packs all the optical strength you need into a lightweight package that will keep you in the field and on budget.

15x magnification gives you the raw power to glass at distance, while the HD optical system provides superior image resolution and improved light transmission to make long glassing sessions easy on your eyes. And, crucial to hunters, the HD system also helps make the Diamondback HD 15×56 extremely effective in low light, such as first and last light, when game animals tend to be on the move.

You might think all that optical strength would make these binoculars hang heavy on your neck, but a lightweight, Magnesium alloy chassis keeps them under 35 ounces, and ensures a tough build capable of handling tough country. Plus, the Diamondbac HD 15×56 mm comes standard with a GlassPak for worry-free carry and storage, and a tripod adapter for rapid mounting and dismounting to keep you mobile.

Simplify what you carry into your hunt with all the power and clarity you need to help make sure you’re packing more out.

Blackhawk Adds New T-Series L2C Holster for SIG P320 TLR 7/8

Blackhawk Adds New T-Series L2C Holster for SIG P320 TLR 7/8

Blackhawk announced today that it has expanded its popular line of T-Series holsters with the introduction of a light bearing Level 2 Compact (L2C) version engineered specifically for the SIG Sauer P320 pistol with TLR 7/8 light.

As with other L2C holsters, the latest model retains key features designed to assist with concealed carry. Among these features include a new speed cut to assist with a faster draw, a low-profile design for ease of concealment and RMR-compatibility.

Designed to follow Blackhawk’s Master Grip Principle, all T-Series holsters have been specifically developed to allow the user’s hand to land naturally where it should in order to deploy the sidearm. This efficient movement pairs with a sound-dampening, low-friction, dual-density internal material that translates into a smooth, quiet draw. Externally, the L2C holster features a proprietary, glass-reinforced nylon to ensure the highest degree of durability available in a duty rated holster.

All T-Series L2C holsters include an all-new attachment platform called the Quick Dual Release, or QDR. This attachment method features an intuitive dual button release that allows for easy attachment to and removal from a belt without weaving it through traditional belt loops. The QDR can easily accommodate belts ranging in size from 1.5 to 2.25 inches and allows the holster to be canted at various angles, depending on user preference.

All L2C holsters also come standard with a two-slot belt loop attachment for belt carry and the intuitive design provides the user the ability to cant the sidearm following the body’s contour.
