Beating the Reaper!, Vol. 1: Trauma Medicine for the CCW Operator is directed toward the “Average Joe” who may have never taken a first-aid class, and certainly doesn’t consider himself to be a medically trained special operator. Instead, he is someone who realizes that, just as with his shooting skills, he needs to have skill to help save someone’s life, perhaps his own, in the aftermath of shooting or other traumatic event. He’s the “CCW Operator” who doesn’t have a team medic nearby. He must show the same self-reliance that got him through the initial incident.
If card shooters, sporting-clays shooters, skeep and trap shooters, hunters and shotgun owners in general all agree on the benefits of the screw-in choke, and millions of guns have been made with fixed chokes, how big do you suppose the need for screw-in choke installation is? It is enormous! You should learn to install screw-in chokes.
(GunReports.com) — At Media Day at the recently concluded SHOT Show in Las Vegas, GunReports.com Publisher Timothy H. Cole gets an overview of Galco’s new products from company representative Mike Barham.
M6X AUTO LOCKING BELT HOLSTER
$39.95. Offering a high level of security but an extremely fast draw, the M6X ALH is the latest addition to Galco’s extremely popular Matrix™ holster line. Galco’s patented* locking device retains the pistol until the ergonomic and intuitive thumb-release lever is depressed, instantly releasing the pistol for a quick, smooth draw. Constructed from the same injection-molded thermoplastic as the other Matrix holsters, the M6X also maintains the same fierce durability and dependability. The locking mechanism has endured torture tests involving thousands upon thousands of draws, and is well-suited to hard real-world use. Using an adjustable belt slot attachment method, the M6X fits belts from 1 ¼” to 2” in width. The neutral cant allows a fast and comfortable draw, while the belt slot design pulls the pistol in tight for good concealment.
DOUBLE TIME OWB/IWB HOLSTER
$69.95. Constructed of Kydex, the Double Time quickly and easily converts from an inside-the-waistband design to a belt holster. With an open top for fast draw, an adjustable tension unit for security, and virtually maintenance-free construction, the versatile Double Time is a superior holster choice for defensive carry. Packaged set up for IWB carry, the Double Time also includes the hardware necessary to swiftly convert it to a highly concealable belt holster, using only a flat-headed screwdriver.
FIELD GRADE BREAKDOWN CASE
$129.95. Designed to carry a broken-down shotgun, the Field Grade Breakdown Case is constructed of khaki cotton duck, lined with acrylic fleece and trimmed with rich dark havana leather. All hardware is solid brass. The adjustable carry handle/shoulder strap is constructed of leather. Water resistant and very functional in the field, it also has an exterior pocket for ammunition, eye and ear protection or other essential gear. Fit guns with barrels up to 30 in.
CULLING BELT
$89.95. Designed for African and Australian hunting and culling, the Culling Belt carries twenty big-bore rifle cartridges, from .375 H&H up to .505 Nitro Express. Durable khaki cotton duck is mated with rich dark havana brown leather, with Galco’s Safari logo embossed into the leather between the cartridge loops. A solid brass buckle lends both durability and good looks. The 3” width makes for comfortable all-day wear on the veldt or in the bush.
FIELD GRADE RANGEFINDER CASE
$34.95. A companion to the Culling Belt, the accessory Rangefinder Case offers similar khaki cotton duck and dark havana leather construction. It fits laser rangefinders up to 5” long, 3¼” wide, and 2¼” deep. Fits belts up to 3" wide.
