Correction

SAAMI would like to clarify the recent press release of February 7th. SAAMI and SIG Sauer felt that it was important to clarify that the cartridge was in fact developed by Wilson Combat with the induction into SAAMI sponsored by SIG Sauer.

Regarding the Tactical Wire feature “Slam Fire,” run Thursday, January 18, 2018, an erroneous comment appeared. The Remington 870 shotgun – like the Remington 1100 and 11-87 – has a spring loaded inertia firing pin. The coil spring around the firing pin prevents it from protruding beyond the bolt face until struck by the hammer.  It is physically impossible, unless the gun has been unsafely modified, to create enough inertia closing the 870 to move the firing pin forward of the bolt face and create a dimple on the primer. We regret the error.

In Monday's Shooting Wire, our feature stated that professional shooter Maggie Reese lost a chance to win the Bianchi Cup due to a holster problem that prevented her from completing one of the four courses of fire. That, in a word, was incorrect.

In Friday's edition, we had both a typographical error and a word omission in the headline regarding Comp-Tac's MTAC Summer (not Sumer) Sale. The submitted headline read "Comp-Tac Summer MTAC Sale".
