In the past couple of weeks, two big Utah-based suppressor companies– SilencerCo and HUXWRX Safety Co. (formerly OSS Suppressors) — have announced seven-figure deals to supply the Feds with cans. HUXWRX says their $4.9 million contract, to outfit the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, is for their new 3D-printed FLOW 556k suppressor, which they say, “finished… Continue reading FBI is buying a lot of suppressors

No, it’s not a new line of power tools available at your local big box home improvement store, the Dicken Drill is now the most popular handgun drill in the country.

Arizona-based Ammo, Inc. says they are kicking off .50 cal BMG production in a big way at their newly opened 185,000 sq. ft. factory in Wisconsin.
