Galco’s QuickTuk Cloud Now Available For Over 45 Different Guns!

Galco’s new QuickTuck Cloud IWB holster. IMG GalcoU.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- An ideal combination of comfort, convenience, security, and efficiency, the QuickTuk Cloud is a great addition to the toolbox of any defense-minded gun carrier.

Comfort is critical when carrying a handgun for defense. A holster that’s uncomfortable will mean the handgun is left at home when it’s needed most. To maximize wearer comfort, the QuickTuk Cloud uses an innovative backing plate composed of a ballistic nylon front over a closed-cell foam body. Lined with Galco’s Comfort Cloth, the plate provides padding and moisture-wicking, making it comfortable to wear for extended hours every day.

Convenient concealment is also important. While it’s easy to put on and take off, the QuickTuk Cloud remains solid and secure inside the pants during concealed carry. It includes Galco’s patent-pending, tuckable polymer UniClip for excellent concealment. The clip can be moved up or down in the corresponding holes in the backing plate, enabling the carrier to adjust the holster’s ride height to suit their unique preferences.

Finally, efficiency is key. Time is usually in short supply in a defensive situation, so we need to be able to get the handgun into action quickly. The QuickTuk Cloud’s rigid, open-top Kydex holster pocket facilitates a full firing grip for a fast draw and easy return to holster, while still firmly retaining the handgun when it’s not needed.
For an IWB holster that perfectly combines comfort, concealability, convenience, security, and defensive efficiency, look to the QuickTuk Cloud.

Utah: House Judiciary Committee Passes Permitless Carry Legislation!

January 24, 2021 by contrib1 Leave a Comment

Utah House Judiciary Committee passed House Bill 60 on an 8 -3 vote. IMG NRA-ILAU.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- On January 22nd, the Utah House Judiciary Committee passed House Bill 60 on an 8 – 3 vote.

House Bill 60, sponsored by Representative Walt Brooks (R-75), allows a law-abiding adult to carry a concealed firearm in the State of Utah, without first needing to obtain government permission. This ensures that citizens have their right to self-defense without government red tape or delays. Additionally, this legislation maintains the existing Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) system, so citizens who still wish to obtain a permit may do so.

HB 60 will next go to the House floor for a vote. At this time, a vote has not been scheduled; however, it’s important that you contact your representative and encourage their support of this important legislation!

Henry Repeating Arms Expands Line of Hunting Rifles & Shotguns

January 22, 2021 by contrib1 Leave a Comment

Henry Rifles released several new models for 2021. IMG Henry RiflesU.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- As part of an ongoing effort to give customers more options when choosing to “Hunt With A Henry,” Henry Repeating Arms is pleased to announce four new models that fit the needs of modern hunters, whether in pursuit of small game or large, feather or fur.

The Lever Action Magnum Express .22 Magnum (H001ME) is a purpose-built small game and varmint hunting rifle with a feature set catered towards use with magnified optics. This rifle is void of any iron sights, so the receiver cover is topped with a Picatinny scope base to accept a wide variety of scope rings. Because a scope sits up higher on the rifle than barrel-mounted iron sights, the buttstock is shaped with a Monte Carlo style for a higher cheek weld and more natural shooting position. A rubber recoil pad is added for additional stability. The Lever Action Magnum Express .22 Magnum has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $622.

By popular demand, the Lever Action X Model .30-30 (H010GAWP) is the newest entry in Henry’s X Model line of modern, feature-packed lever actions first introduced in January 2020. Most notably, this new model features full synthetic furniture with integrated sling swivel studs, Picatinny and M-Lok accessory slots, and an industry-standard 5/8×24 threaded barrel to accept a suppressor or other muzzle device. The rifle is topped with fiber optic sights, and the blued steel receiver is drilled and tapped for optional scope use. The Lever Action X Model .30-30 has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $1,019.

Borrowing elements from Jeff Cooper’s scout rifle concept, the All-Weather Picatinny Rail .45-70 Side Gate is topped with an extended section of Picatinny rail for mounting a scope further forward on the barrel to free up more peripheral vision and make for quicker target acquisition. The rail also includes a peep sight that is fully adjustable for windage and elevation. Henry’s All-Weather finish consists of a satin hard chrome plating on most metal surfaces and specially treated hardwood stocks for temperature and moisture resilience. The All-Weather Picatinny Rail .45-70 Side Gate rifle has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $1,221.
For the dedicated turkey hunter, Henry is now offering the 12-gauge Single Shot Turkey Camo Shotgun(H015T-12) fully decked out in Mossy Oak Obsession camouflage. In addition to the full-coverage camouflage, this shotgun comes with a removable turkey choke to extend the effective range, fiber optic sights, and a drilled and tapped barrel for optional optics mounting. To help mitigate some of the recoil associated with firing 3 ½” 12-gauge shells from a lightweight single-shot platform, the pistol gripped buttstock is capped with a soft rubber recoil pad. The Single Shot Turkey Camo 12 Gauge Shotgun has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $687.

Federal Ammunition Announces New Pistol Loadings for 2021

January 20, 2021 by contrib1 Leave a Comment

Federal Ammunition is releasing three new types of Revolver ammo for 2021. IMG Federal Ammo
U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- ANOKA, Minnesota – January 20, 2021 – Federal Ammunition’s product teams are expanding handgun cartridge options in multiple product categories in 2021. Several new product line extensions in Hydra-Shok Deep, Punch, Syntech Range, and more will be manufactured and delivered to dealers throughout the year. New-for-2021 product launch highlights include:

Hydra-Shok Deep in 380 Auto and 38 Special – These loads unlock the potential of smaller cartridges. They utilize Hydra-Shok Deep’s robust center post and compact core to consistently penetrate beyond the FBI-recommended 12-inch minimum through bare gel and heavy clothing.

Punch in 22 LR and 10mm Auto – Punch 22 LR uses a deep-penetrating bullet that makes the popular rimfire cartridge a viable self-defense option, while the 10mm Auto load’s jacketed hollow point produces the best expansion and penetration in the category.

Swift A-Frame JHP in 327 Federal Magnum and 10mm Auto – The A-Frame Jacketed Hollow Point bullet has a bonded front half which expands consistently across a broad velocity range, while the back half remains intact for deep penetration. This bullet is ideal for hunting with handguns.
Syntech Range in 380 Auto, 38 Special, and 10mm Auto – Syntech Range loads use the TSJ polymer jacket to eliminate metal fouling and drastically reduce damaging barrel heat and friction. Syntech ammunition offers a smoother, cleaner, and safer experience when training and having fun at the range.

“In addition to launching new 2021 products, we are also continuing to stay focused on marketing the new products launched a year ago, such as our Solid Core and American Eagle IRT Lead-Free ammo,” said Federal’s Handgun Product Line Manager Chris Laack. “Solid Core is intended for hunting and protection against dangerous animals. The deep-penetrating, hard Solid Core bullet holds together while blowing through bone, and its Syntech jacket reduces friction and leading. American Eagle IRT utilizes lead-free bullets and the Catalyst lead-free primer to offer the same shelf life and ballistics of conventional range ammo. It’s an ideal solution for those shooting at an indoor range that requires lead-free ammunition.”

Federal ammunition can be found at dealers nationwide or purchased online direct from Federal. For more information on all products from Federal or to shop online, visit www.federalpremium.com.
