Tuff-Writer Inc. has set their sights on proving that the Blendtec Blender, made famous by the "Will It Blend?" series of YouTube videos, will not be able to blend their tactical pen. For years now, Blendtec has been blending iPads, pens and everything imaginable to prove just how tough their kitchen appliances are. Tuff-Writer has also made a point to show just how tough their pens are, breaking apart 2x2's, 2x4's, 4x4's and even a log - all without damage to the pen!  Over the course of several years, Tuff-Writer has reached out to Blendtec through emails and social media offering a Tuff-Writer pen for their "Will It Blend?" challenge with no response - but everything is about to change.

Tuff-Writer is issuing their own "Tuff-Writer / Blendtec Challenge" For every pen sold through the Tuff-Writer website, $5 of the proceeds will be set aside in a special fund to purchase a Blendtec blender (valued at $500). Pen prices will not be raised to reach this goal and there are no restrictions on which purchased pen's proceeds will go to the fund.

All of us at Eagle Imports could not have been happier with the overall feel of the 2012 SHOT Show.  Our booth was busy from beginning to end.  Of course, we feel a lot of this was due to the introduction of the BP pistol, which, along with the new 380 Combat, drew huge interest from the crowd.  We had more writers and media in our booth than in years past and this added greatly to the excitement. We feel that business will be very strong for us this year for both the Bersa and American Classic lines of product - and that is how we are planning and forecasting.

This interview was performed by Paul Carlson of Safety Solutions Academy at the 2012 SHOT Show.

When I first saw the DoubleTap, I couldn't help thinking, "one gets ten." As I looked at the DoubleTap more and more, it quickly distanced itself from the FP-45 Liberator. There are certainly similarities: size, caliber and extra rounds stored in the grip, but the workmanship puts the DoubleTap in a whole new league. Despite the fact that Ray Kohout comes from a gun background, the design of the DoubleTap would lead you to believe otherwise. Roller bearings and CNC from head to toe are more indicative of the aerospace industry than a firearms design. No fetzer valve, but with Heizer Defense it's all ball bearings these days.
