Whether it’s smoking, surviving, or being able to play Cassanova when helping light a cigarette, a lighter is paramount. Every type of lighter is useful, and TRUE has made “useful” the starting point for their newest lighter. Even some people who don’t necessarily need one still carry a fire tool in their pocket in case the need arises.

Building on the success of the first TRUE Plasma Lighter, the Plasma Lighter XR brings new developments and features. It still boasts over 300 activations on a single charge, but with a few tweaks. One of the most noticeable differences is in the XR’s unique arc pattern. This simplifies construction and offers more advancement in other areas. One of those areas is an extendable and flexible neck lighter. The collar can be angled in any direction for difficult burning areas like campfires and is wind resistant up to 80 mph.

The robust ABS and zinc alloy construction is designed to be durable and impact resistant. The locking cover protects sensitive electrodes while providing IPX6 water resistance.

One of the other changes made to the XR line is the UCB-C rechargeable port. The battery ignition is ecological and always reliable. An LED charge indicator is visible, so there’s no guessing when a recharge is needed. In general, a full charge from empty is possible in 1.5 hours. TRUE also offers a 1-year warranty against all manufacturing defects.

TRUE’s updated lighter offers some unique updates to an already solid design. Capable of adapting to almost any role, the Plasma Lighter XR may be worth its weight in gold. Priced to compete with options that outperform the competition, this powerhouse is hard to miss.

Specialized Recruitment for the shooting industry

HeadHunters NW, the leading recruiting firm focused exclusively and deliberately on the acquisition of executive talent for the shooting, hunting and outdoor industry, is collecting data for the second annual Shooting Sports Industry Salary Survey specific to the firearms industry until January 10, 2023.

According to HeadHunters NW President Shaylene Keiner, “We were surprised by the positive response we received after last year’s Shooting Sports Industry Salary Survey was completed and shared with participants. It turned out to be a useful tool in understanding what attracts and helps retain top talent for their teams,” she said.

Competition is intense for the most attractive candidates. “For good reason,” Keiner said. “Senior talent shapes and contributes to the overall success of the organization they choose to join. Competition for these people can be costly if you don’t know their value or anticipate their expectations.”

“As the hiring climate in the shooting industry continues to evolve, it is vital to update salary and benefit metrics,” Keiner said. “If you’re adding to your team in 2023, you’ll need a quick, comprehensive look at the 2023 hiring landscape. This survey includes information not available anywhere else.”

TRUE has released the perfect holiday gift: the 4-Piece Tactical Kit. With several multi-use pieces and exceptional functionality, the 4-Piece Tactical Kit makes an exceptional gift, grooming kit, or personal purchase.

Planning and preparation were the main focus when assembling this unique kit. TRUE has assembled this 4-piece prep kit to allow users to focus on the potential and unpredictable tasks. Putting all these tools in one place saves the user time and effort, allowing you to focus on unexpected tasks where these tools may be used. This kit includes a plasma igniter, a pliers tool, an LED clip light, and an XR plasma igniter. Each item in this kit has been graded to offer the best versatility.

XR Plasma Lighter:

This fuel-free refillable lighter is perfect for tough conditions. Windproof up to 80mph, the waterproof (IPX6) housing has an extendable collar that delivers a plasma arc. There is no need for water sensitive matches or additional sources of burnable fuel. The Plasma Lighter XR packs the equivalent of over 300 matches into a USB-C rechargeable lithium-polymer battery. A Plasma XR can be recharged in as little as 1.5 hours.

Tweezers Tool:

In a TRUE way, a 6-in-1 multitool fills in the gaps where other included tools can’t. These titanium coated pliers are strong and durable. Changes focus from a collet multi-tool to a standalone collet turned multi tool. At 2.25 inches long, it features: a black oxide knife, flathead screwdriver, bottle opener, wire cutter, file, and pliers.

Light clip:

Big lights can take up a lot of space. While the usefulness of a flashlight is not overlooked, the bulk of a freestanding flashlight is replaced with a useful carabiner-style flashlight. Forty-seven lumens put out enough lights for up-close tasks and can be paired with a keychain for all-day carry. Titanium-coated stainless steel is strong enough to withstand the bumps and bruises of everyday transport or hanging from a backpack.

Tactical knife:

No prep kit is complete without a dedicated knife. This partially serrated 3.25-inch tanto blade is made from 8Cr13Mov and has a black oxide finish. The handle is made of stainless steel with a titanium finish that matches the other pieces of the tactical kit. The double thumb heel and minimalist shank use a frame lock system. A deep pocket carry clip and integrated lanyard loop are attached.

General setup and preparation is made simple with the TRUE Tactical Kit. Buy one for yourself or as a gift for someone else. Each of these items on its own makes a nice addition to a personal kit; Together, they’re an excellent addition to every outfit. Don’t get caught without a handy tool again.

About the Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the express intention of designing a Browning-type lever action weapon chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. Big Horn Armory’s American-made Model 89 closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metalworking and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September 2012, and since then, BHA has added to its large-bore lineup a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, Model 90A in 454 Casull, Model 90B in .45 Colt, Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory departed from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

There are very few things as dangerous as a dull blade. Without the ability to cut evenly, a blade is more likely to snag and shred, which can easily slip and cause unwanted damage to users or items. While TRUE knives are built to last and with materials that require minimal sharpening, the need to sharpen all knives is inevitable.

TRUE launches the Mycro knife sharpener to combat this danger and this need. This lightweight aluminum construction houses a carbine cutter suitable for all blade materials. Carbide is more than capable of handling a wide variety of stainless steel and high carbon steel. A ceramic sharpener is located on the opposite side for finer sharpening and polishing needs. The use is very simple; 10-12 goes through the carbine sharpener and another 10-12 with the ceramic sharpener. The 40 degree angle is suitable for almost all blade geometries.

Mycro Knife Sharpener is a minimalist tool suitable for EDC, incorporating a lanyard hole and a rubber grip. The entire build is about the size of your average thumb and outperforms the competition. The size alone means anyone can carry it around, even on a key ring, and use it at any time.

For the trades worker, outdoor enthusiast, camper, and general knife user, the added peace of mind of having the best edge at all times is well worth it. The small size and reliable materials make this a great prep tool that one can carry around with confidence.
