More bad news for the gun industry, remember the announcement that Remington let go of several managers? Well it looks like the popular accessory maker Magpul is next with the round of layoffs. They recently announced they’ll be laying off 85 workers from their Cheyenne, Wyoming location. While they’re actually workers from a staffing service brought in to help meet demand last year, it may be another sign of things to come in the firearms industry.
It’s about damned time, Glock has finally announced the release of their much anticipated 1911. Not much is known as of yet about the new Glock 1911 but we do know it will be chambered in .45acp and should actually function reliably. Stay tuned for more info!

One of the not so talked about dangers of shooting is lead exposure. Lead is a nasty substance and can cause all sorts of health issues, especially to children. It’s important to be careful of lead after shooting. Simply washing your hands may not be enough, that’s where LeadOff wipes from Hygenall can help. LeadOff is the only lead cleaner recommended by the CDC for use after shooting. It cleans off lead and other heavy metals from your skin without the use if harsh chemicals. And it’s made in the USA.
I keep a can in my range bag and I use it right after my shooting session, I even use it to clean off my phone and anything else I may have touched while shooting. A canister of 45 wipes doesn’t cost much either, check it out on Amazon with free shipping.
