Hornandy Zombie Max Ammo
Hornady launched a range of products designed for self-defense in a zombie apocalypse last year. What most people don’t realize is that they are almost exactly the same as their Hornady Critical Defense Ammo and it costs about a $1 less per box. Check out the specs for the Hornady Critical Defense and Hornady Zombie Max ammo and judge for yourself.
Blackhawk SERPA Holster Recall
Blackhawk is recalling the light bearing version of their SERPA Level 3 holsters made before October 11, 2011. They tell us that users are over tightening the mounting screws which weakens the material surrounding the threaded insert and can cause the holster to break off from the platform.
It seems holsters were manufactured back in 2009 with an incorrect part that contributes to the problem, but Blackhawk isn’t taking any chances and is offering to replace all SERPA Level 3 light bearing holsters manufactured prior to October 2011 (part number CJD1300 or 2100xxx on the back).
The full recall notice is here.
