Magpul Makes Putting PMAGS in CO Resident’s Hands a Priority

The entire firearm industry is waiting on pins and needles to see how everything plays out in Colorado but Magpul isn’t sitting idle. They are instituting a new program to make sure that the residents of the state that they love can have access to full capacity magazines before illegal and ineffective gun control legislation denies their right to own such items.

Hopefully this isn’t one of their last acts before they are forced to leave the state of CO but if it is… what a way to go. This is a firm thumb in the eye of gun control advocates.

Cases of PMAGS

Here is the latest from Magpul via their Facebook Page:

We are proud to announce that within a matter of days we will be going live with a new program. Due to a bill currently moving through the Colorado legislature, there is the possibility that Colorado residents’ ability to purchase standard capacity magazines will soon be infringed. Before that happens, and Magpul is forced to leave the state in order to keep to our principles, we will be doing our best to get standard capacity PMAGs into the hands of any Colorado resident that wants them.

Verified Colorado residents will be able to purchase up to ten (10) standard capacity AR/M4 magazines directly from Magpul, and will be given immediate flat-rate $5 shipping, bypassing our current order queue.

Our customers outside of Colorado, please know that our PMAG production will continue at an ever-increasing rate until we do relocate, shipments to our distributors in other states will continue, and that we do not expect relocation to significantly impact PMAG production. We are also aware that Colorado is not the only state with existing or pending magazine capacity restrictions; we are working on programs for other affected states as well.

Full details and instructions will be announced when we are able to go live; please watch here for the coming announcement.

US PALM AK Battle Grip – Plug Free Since Right Now

You can find a US PALM AK Battle Grip (AKBG) on all of my personal AKs. If you were to look inside each one of them, you would find absolutely nothing. It has a plug that is secure and well designed for holding various small items inside the hollow grip but I don’t use it. Apparently, that is pretty common because US PALM is now dropping the plug. The AKBG will now come without a grip plug and the savings will be passed on to you in the form of a new lower MSRP ($24.95).

US PALM No Plug

Additionally, US PALM is hinting that they will be providing a new item that has storage capability for all of you who will miss the plug. Could this possibly be the US PALM buttstock that I have been hoping for?

Beretta Threatens to Leave Maryland

beretta-USA-logoBeretta is now threatening to move their manufacturing operations to a different state if Maryland passes new gun control measures. Maryland already has some of the more stringent gun laws in the nation.

I am glad to see companies like Magpul and Beretta taking a stand. We would like to think that these state governments are concerned with the rights of their citizens but these types of moves hit them in the only place they are concerned about – their coffers. How many high profile manufacturers will it take for these ideologues to realize that there are down stream consequences in the form of lost jobs and tax revenue for pandering to their base with ineffective, illegal, and emotionally conceived gun control legislation?

Where Do Competition Shooting and Tactical Training Meet?

Trigger Time TV recently posted a video that explores how action shooting competition and tactical training can have a symbiotic relationship. Unless you have access to private land to shoot on, there are certain things that you just can’t do at many public ranges, like shoot on the move, draw from concealment, or engage targets in multiple directions. However, all of these things are common in action shooting competitions. There is tremendous training value to be found in these competitions if you approach them with a proper mindset.
