Honoring Those Who Served — Veterans Day 2025

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform. Their service, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to defending freedom are the foundation of the country we love.

Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar — it’s a reminder of the courage that built America and the responsibility we all share to protect what they fought for. Whether they served overseas or here at home, every veteran deserves our gratitude and respect.

From all of us at Red Circle Tactical, thank you to every veteran, active-duty service member, and military family. We’re proud to stand in a community that values service, freedom, and the spirit of the American defender.

To all who served — we salute you.

Honoring 250 Years of the United States Marine Corps

On November 10, 2025, the United States Marine Corps will celebrate an incredible milestone — 250 years of service to our nation. Founded in 1775 at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, the Marine Corps has stood as a symbol of courage, discipline, and unwavering commitment for two and a half centuries.

From the beaches of Iwo Jima to modern-day missions around the world, Marines have answered every call with the same spirit that has defined them since the beginning: Semper Fidelis — Always Faithful.

Each year, Marines past and present mark the occasion with a birthday message from the Commandant and a traditional cake-cutting ceremony — a tradition that connects generations of warriors and reminds us of their shared heritage and sacrifice.

This year’s 250th anniversary holds even deeper meaning. It’s not just a celebration of history — it’s a reflection on what makes the Corps timeless: honor, teamwork, and dedication to something greater than oneself.

To every Marine who has worn the uniform, and to the families who stand beside them — thank you for 250 years of service, strength, and sacrifice.

GLOCK Handgun Lineup Changes: Discontinued Models and the Upcoming V-Series

GLOCK Reshapes Its Handgun Lineup: What You Should Know

We’re tracking a major development in the handgun market: reports indicate that GLOCK is planning a significant shift in its commercial pistol offerings. According to multiple outlets, GLOCK has listed dozens of models as discontinued and may replace much of its current lineup with new “V-Model” variants (though the company has not released a full official confirmation). Newsweek+1
Here are the key points we’re watching:

  • A report from GLOCK’s own website shows a “Discontinued Commercial Pistol Models” list that includes many Gen 3 and Gen 4 models. GLOCK+1
  • Industry rumors suggest that as of November 30, all GLOCK models except perhaps the 43, 43X and 48X will be discontinued, with incoming “V” models designed to prevent conversion to fully-automatic capability. The Economic Times+1
  • The change may be driven by evolving regulations and greater scrutiny over models that can be converted with illicit devices–an angle cited by city officials. WTTW News+1
    What this means for our business and for you:
  • If you own or are considering purchasing a GLOCK model that’s on the discontinued list, now may be a good time to evaluate inventory, parts support and resale value.
  • GLOCK has stated that discontinued models will continue to receive service, so don’t assume support vanishes overnight. GLOCK
  • Stay tuned: we expect full clarity from GLOCK in the coming weeks regarding what models will be replaced, when exactly the “V” models are introduced, and how parts/interchangeability will work.
    At Red Circle Tactical, we’re keeping a close eye on these changes to help you navigate your options. If you want to evaluate whether a particular model is affected drop us a line.

Happy 78th Birthday, U.S. Air Force!

Today, September 18, marks the 78th anniversary of the United States Air Force. While it officially became its own branch of the military in 1947, its story reaches back to the early 20th century, when aviation first began shaping the future of defense.

The defining moment came when President Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947. This legislation not only created a new defense structure but also established the Air Force as an independent service, giving it equal standing alongside the U.S. Army and Navy. From that day forward, the Air Force took its place as a cornerstone of America’s national security.

For 78 years, the Air Force has embodied innovation, strength, and resilience, rising to meet challenges in the skies and beyond. Today, we honor its proud heritage, celebrate its achievements, and thank the men and women—past and present—who have dedicated themselves to serving our nation.

Happy Birthday, U.S. Air Force!

There is a group of scammers on Telegram and WhatsapApp impersonating us.

Do not send them any money. They will simply take your money and send you nothing. This is a common scam and they rotate from site to site and just change their business name each time. They post that they are selling firearms and will ship anywhere in the world. They even post what appears to be legitimate images of the items and what looks like packages they have shipped. Even if they really shipped anyone a firearm, it would likely NEVER make it through customs.

If a firearm is sent to you (outside of the USA), authorities may be alerted and could allow delivery so the recipient (You) can be detained. Accepting such a package can lead to your arrest.

Legitimate dealers log every firearm — attempts to ship firearms abroad through carriers can result in criminal charges.

If you want to help stop them, here is a link to their telegram page. Go there, install the app and report the page:

Hay un grupo de estafadores en la aplicación Telegram haciéndose pasar por nosotros.

No les envíes dinero. Simplemente tomarán su dinero y no le enviarán nada. Esta es una estafa común y rotan de un sitio a otro y simplemente cambian el nombre de su empresa cada vez. Publican que están vendiendo armas de fuego y las enviarán a cualquier parte del mundo. Incluso publican lo que parecen ser imágenes legítimas de los artículos y lo que parecen paquetes que han enviado. Incluso si realmente le enviaran un arma de fuego a alguien, probablemente NUNCA pasaría por la aduana.

Si se le envía un arma de fuego (fuera de los EE. UU.), las autoridades podrían ser alertadas y podrían permitir la entrega para poder detener al destinatario. Aceptar un paquete de este tipo puede resultar en un su arresto.

Los distribuidores legítimos registran cada arma de fuego; intentar enviar armas al extranjero a través de transportistas puede derivar en cargos criminales.

Si quieres ayudar a detenerlos, aquí tienes un enlace a su página de Telegram. Vaya allí, instale la aplicación y reporte la página:
