Heizer Defense Sets Precedent in Design of New Firearms for Civilian and Law Enforcement Markets

  

Heizer Defense

Heizer Defense LLC, a new firearms company located in St. Louis, Missouri, will produce a new paradigm of pistols for the responsible-citizen and law enforcement markets. The principals behind the newly formed company bring over 190 years of firearms industry, design technology, manufacturing and aerospace engineering to Heizer Defense. The new patent pending firearms will incorporate space-age high tensile alloys, USA manufacturing and the most current design capabilities.

 

Raymond B. Kohout, an entrepreneur with over 32 years in the firearms industry, including ownership of the then largest retail firearms store in the St. Louis metro area, and design and manufacturing of the first nylon assault rifle case and military nylon holsters, is partnering with Charles K. Heizer an engineering genius who founded one of the leading Aerospace manufacturing companies in the USA. Other members of the Heizer team bring critical knowledge and experience in mechanical engineering, design and machining of components for the commercial, military and aerospace industries.

 

The first product to roll off the Heizer production line will be a very unique, patent-pending Tactical Pocket Pistol. Specifics on the product will be announced in November 2011 at the NASGW Show in Reno, Nevada. The company's website will also be officially launched just prior to the NASGW show. More information on the company and the new products will be available soon.

The Chameleon Chemical Suicide Detection Kit from Morphix Technologies

The Life-Saving Alert System from Unexpected Chemical Exposure for First Responders


Chemical suicides have doubled in the first half of 2011 in the United States over figures from 2010. A total of 72 deaths have already been confirmed in the US with 27 having occurred in 2011. Chemical suicides are the result of mixing common household chemicals resulting in a toxic gas, most notably hydrogen sulfide. Combined in a confined area, the victim quickly asphyxiates. Unfortunately, for many first responders, and despite warnings posted by the victims, over 80% of police and first responders have been injured when responding to chemical suicide situations.  

 

Morphix Technologies®, an innovator in the science of colorimetric detection devices for dangerous chemical gases, is in the forefront of preventing accidental exposure to first responders from these toxic chemicals. The Chameleon® Chemical Suicide Detection Kit offers police, EMS and first responders a field-configurable, low-cost, easy-to-use, hands-free solution when encountering a chemical suicide.

MasterPiece Arms Defender Pistol Now California Compliant

MasterPiece Arms Defender Pistols now meet all California compliant requirements including single-shot capability and are available for shipment.

 

MPA30SST-CA Masterpiece Arms (MPA) Defender series of Pistols has been tested and has met with all of the State of California's requirements on the sale and ownership of semi-automatic pistols. The California Edition Defender pistols include models for the top and side-cocking .22 LR, 9mm and .45 ACP. MPA redesigned the Defender pistols in their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Carrollton, Georgia to meet all California pistol requirements including a single-shot only capability, a permanent muzzle-break and a magazine that requires the use of a tool to be removed from being deemed a "detachable magazine." The MPA California Edition Defender pistols meet and exceed the magazine requirement because of the addition of MPA's magazine lock design that renders the magazine "non-detachable" under California law.   

 

The California complicate Defender pistols meet all size and length requirements, as well. All pistols include a MasterPiece Arms case for the pistol and accessories, a spare parts kit and a lifetime warranty on every one of MasterPiece Arms Defender pistols.
