FEDERAL PREMIUM
Hydra-Shok® Deep™ 9mm Luger
Federal Premium® Hydra-Shok® has proven itself for self-defense since 1989. Hydra-Shok Deep™ builds off the time-tested platform with design improvements that better meet modern performance measurements. The bullet features a more robust center post and a core design that provides as much as 50-percent deeper penetration than original Hydra-Shok and competitor loads. federalpremium.com
SAVAGE ARMS
Rascal Target
The industry’s safest micro rimfire has come of age. The Rascal Target is built for accuracy and adaptability, thanks to a precision hardwood stock, heavy 16 1/8-inch barrel, one-piece Picatinny rail and threaded (1/2-28) muzzle. Like the original Rascal, the single-shot rifle cocks by lifting the bolt and unloads easily—without pulling the trigger. The design also builds superior shooting skills thanks to full-size rifle features, including Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger™ system. The platform offers far better safety, functionality and accuracy than competing designs. savagearms.com

Tuck-N-Go™
Part of Galco’s extremely popular Carry Lite line of holsters, the Tuck-N-Go™ is constructed of Premium Center Cut Steerhide™. The Tuck-N-Go’s open top allows a fast draw once the concealing garment is swept up and away, while the reinforced mouth allows a smooth and easy return to the holster. The improved Tuck-N-Go’s belt clips are adjustable for cant, making it suitable for the strongside, crossdraw or appendix carry positions.
The ambidextrous Tuck-N-Go is supplied with two types of interchangeable tuckable clips. The first is the UniClip™, designed to go over the belt but which also works well without a belt. The second is the Ultimate Stealth™ clip with hook, which fits on the trouser waistband, under or behind a belt with just the clip showing, for the ultimate in stealthy concealment! galcogunleather.com
