The agency previously used the Beretta\u00a092F as its standard service pistol when it operated within the Department of Transportation, but when it moved to the Department of Homeland Security, Coast Guard members switched over to the\u00a0Sig P229R DAK in .40 S&W. The pistol features an accessory rail under the slide, along with a\u00a06.5-pound double-action-Kellerman (DAK) trigger system.\r\n\r\nThe Coast Guard is part of DHS, but as Military.com<\/a>\u00a0notes, the President has the ability to\u00a0transfer any or all of its assets to the Department of the Navy during war or conflict.\u00a0According to Guns.com<\/a>,\u00a0NSWC Crane assists the agency\u2014which carries out homeland security and non-homeland security missions\u2014in procuring ordnance and small arms.\r\n\r\nFederal's press release says the training rounds feature Federal's lead-free, clean-burning Catalyst primer, which\u2014unlike other lead-free primers\u2014isn't\u00a0hygroscopic, meaning it won't absorb ignition-inhibiting moisture and delivers reliable ignition. Catalyst also boasts a more efficient powder burn which helps with the consistency of bullet velocities.\r\n\r\nHailing the US Navy contract as an \"important\" one for the company,\u00a0Jason Nash, Federal's senior marketing director said, \"Our Catalyst lead-free priming technology is a major breakthrough and we\u2019re excited to see it used by those that protect our freedom.\"\r\n\r\nFor more on Federal Premium, visit\u00a0federalpremium.com<\/a>.","post_title":"Federal Premium to Supply US NSWC Crane With .40-Cal Training Rounds","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"federal-premium-nswc-crane-ammo","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:23:06","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:23:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/02\/14\/federal-premium-nswc-crane-ammo\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":9},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

FBI 9mm Contract Details<\/h3>\r\nThe IDIQ (indefinite delivery\/indefinite quantity) contract has four option years.\r\n\r\nAs far as specifics go, the contract is for up to $19 million in 9mm handgun training rounds.\r\n\r\nThe contracted ammunition \"is built distinctively to FBI's specifications.\"\r\n\r\n\"We are extremely proud of this important contract, which continues Federal Premium's long-running tradition of supplying law enforcement, military personnel and civilians worldwide with the most reliable ammunition possible,\" Federal Premium President Jason Vanderbrink said in a statement. \"This high-value, optimized training round utilizes a new match-grade bullet designed specifically for the FBI to maximize accuracy, along with Federal Premium\u2019s Catalyst lead-free primer formulation to provide reliable, consistent ignition.\u201d\r\n
Catalyst Primer<\/h3>\r\nOf note in the contract release is one specific technology from Federal Premium: its patented Catalyst primer.\r\n\r\nAccording to Federal, \"The extremely clean-burning Catalyst primer creates more uniform and complete propellant combustion.\" It yields minimal velocity variation and consistent bullet launch for improved accuracy.\r\n\r\nThe\u00a0Catalyst primer is also non-hydrophilic. That means it does not attract water molecules like DDNP-based mixes found in most lead-free primers, resulting in better reliability. The result is a clean and consistent ignition.\r\n\r\nFor more information on Federal Premium, go to\u00a0
