Great to see some good words on our SANDSTORM suppressor in the last issue of Shooting Illustrated, Gary Paul Johnson’s article on building the perfect beast of a rifle with all sort of neat kit and accessories. SANDSTORM is the perfect crowning touch!
Good to see common sense breaking out all over: This week we’ve got the efforts of silencer owners, the NRA, and other helpful parties getting a bill to move closer to completion:
Indiana suppressor bill passes in Judiciary committee 7-1. Stay tuned for more info on this, the Georgia hunting bill, and Arizona as well!
Ok, Texans and those-that-wish-they-were: To give an early heads-up (and make sure we don’t forget to post it during the hubbub that is SHOT Show), Texas Parks and Wildlife proposed amendment to §65.11 (legal suppressor use in hunting) is coming up. The Department has determined no reason to prohibit suppressor use for game (deer, alligators (!), big game, small game, etc.), so the next step will be up to the Commission to hear comments and decide if suppressors will be legal beginning with the 2012-13 hunting seasons.
Giving some credit where it’s due: Our friend/writer Dane Hobbs sent copies of his excellent article (that GEMTECH helped with) on suppressed hunting to the Law Enforcement division of TPWD (we understand Scott Bittner and others have helped out on this issue greatly as well.) After the proposal is introduced at the Jan 25th meeting (Austin-area-guys: go support!), there will be ability for everyone to comment at the TPWD website – hit the “agree completely” button at the bottom of the comment form.
January 25th. Mark your calendars, give support!
The 2012 MULTIMOUNTS are shipping now… as are some of the new mounts – notably, the UZI barrel-nut adapters that we’ve (ahem) been out of for a while, are back in stock. Filling orders this week, shipping new, getting going on the new year with making a great can even better!
UPDATED WITH OUR LAST GIFT RECIPIENT OF 2011′s CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. THANKS EVERYONE, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE BEST FANS ON THE WEB!
Final day of GEMTECH Christmas. Guys and Gals, it’s been a great, fun holiday event. Â Matt, PM us or email techstaff and we’ll get some post-holiday dialogue going about what one of our wonderful products you might like, and we’ll get you hooked up.
UPDATED WITH TODAY’S GIFT RECIPIENT:
You’ve had it done to you, you may have done it yourself: Last minute, forgot to buy a gift, don’t know what to get him/her, couldn’t make it to the mall, 7-11 was already closed the night before Christmas… so it was Gift Certificates from wherever the heck was open that night.
In the spirit of Christmas-procrastinators everywhere, we present to Brad Walker, a lucky GEMTECH fan, a not-so-bad present today:
A $10 “Arch Card” from McDonalds.
…ok, fine, we toss in a $50 “Can Card” from GEMTECH so you can do some online shopping for awesome gear while slurping down that McCafe Frappe.
Don’t say we never got you anything. Â 
Closing time here at GT – Offices are shut down until Jan 2. Don’t know what’s in your trunk as you drive to see friends and relatives for the season’s festivities, but this is one of our staffers’ load-out with plans to go take the nieces and nephews out shooting over vacation. Safe travels to our fans over the holidays. And you know our mantra… Get outside. Go Shooting.
UPDATED WITH TODAY’S GIFT RECIPIENT:
So today we thought we might give this Matt Levi fellow a little holiday cheer in the form of a free 2012 MULTIMOUNT silencer. GEMTECH led the industry with our modular pistol silencers years ago, constantly improving and evolving into our current offering: A titanium-blast baffled, lightweight 9mm (and subcaliber), infinitely flexible and future-proof, user-serviceable suppressor with the widest selection of mounting options available on the market today. Coupled with great sound reduction and affordable price, the MULTIMOUNT checks off all the boxes you’d need and more for a great 9mm pistol/carbine suppressor – and today, Matt’s going to get a free one. Happy Holidays, sir!
UPDATED WITH TODAY’S GIFT RECIPIENT:
Sometimes, when you’re stumped for Christmas or Hanukkah ideas to get someone, the best approach is to get a gift basket so you get SOMETHING you know they’ll like, mixed in with a couple things they’ll probably share with others (in the grand Holiday tradition of “re-gifting”. Today, we’re giving Chris a TEAMPACK which will be a basket of all sorts of stuff, but will include at least: A tee, a BATTLEFLAG, a brick of 500rds of GEMTECH SILENCER SUBSONIC ammo, a MIL-SPEC waterbottle, and whatever else we deem appropriate or amusing.
Some of you TUNDRA owners that have been asking us for a solution to mount your suppressor on Colt 9mm carbines and similar 1/2-36 male-threaded firearms. Used in conjunction with a piston-blocking tube to replace the spring, GEMTECH provides a way to mount your TUNDRA to these carbines easily.
