Las Vegas, NV –– The Industry Day at the Range Safety Award, sponsored by Action Target, is an award that honors the company that demonstrates the highest standard of safety annually, at Industry Day at the Range.

The 2020 Action Target Safety Award was awarded to Armscor at the 15th Annual Industry Day at the Range on January 20 at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club. Safety auditors judged over 80 shooting exhibitors. The score was determined by range safety criteria such as providing hearing and eye protection, control of ammo and safe handling of firearms on the firing line. Scoring also gave points for higher levels of safety such as posted rules, first aid kit at shooting station and crowd management.

As the winner, Armscor not only demonstrated a high level of safety but also was an example to the other exhibitors of what a company with a DNA rooted in safety looked like. They have had safe practices so long it comes second nature to all the Armscor’s team.

“Armscor is proud to receive the Industry Day at the Range safety award from Action Target. Our team considers safety an essential part of shooting and live events and take pride in ensuring that range safety standards are met," said Martin Tuason, CEO and President of Armscor / Rock Island Armory. "Safety is a key focus in everything we do and am proud of our team for their diligence in ensuring those they are interacting with are educated on the firearms and safety protocols before reaching the line of fire."

Armscor can trace its beginnings all the way back to 1905, when the first Squires, Bingham & Co. headquarters was established in the Philippines. After years of trading clothing, firearms, ammunition, and other items; the company was eventually bought and renamed “Sportsmen’s Headquarters” in 1930. In 1985, Armscor Precision International opened its first United States office in Pahrump, Nevada. A short while later, Armscor acquired the Rock Island Armory brand, a leading M1911 manufacturer and developer. The future looks very bright as Martin Tuason, the third generation of the family, prepares to lead the company forward. With an unprecedented focus on customer service and satisfaction, Armscor is rapidly becoming a driving force in the American and worldwide firearms industry. Today, the company exports to over 50 countries on 6 continents.

We could not be more pleased to have Armscor be the recipient of this year’s award,” says Cathy Williams, co-owner Industry Day at the Range.
