Introduced earlier this year, the Hellcat Pro from Springfield Armory is a neat little micro 9mm subcompact that, had it not been for the introduction of the new Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro soon afterward, would surely have made more of a splash. The little 15+1 capacity pistol is optics ready and actually a little smaller… Continue reading Springer now includes a Shield Red Dot with the Hellcat Pro

The Browning Hi Power was killed off by FN in 2017, and all that did was that kick off a race by other companies to do it better and cheaper than the Belgians ever dreamed. Springfield introduced their $699 SA-35 variant (at the same time the Tisas Regent disappeared), while EAA started bringing in pallets… Continue reading New EAA MC P35 OPS Optic Adds Optics Cut to Hi Power

The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers, kind of the smaller, quieter brother of the NSSF, has crunched the data and found that sales of “Micro 9” pistols– you know, the Taurus GX4, Springfield Armory Hellfire, Ruger MAX-1, and so forth– are steadily climbing the charts.

From a hillside outside of Jackson, Wyoming, a team of extreme long-range shooters and spotters were able to (eventually) lob a round into the 8-inch bullseye of a target set up some 23,322 feet, or just over 4.4 miles, away. The shooters, Scott Austin and Shepard Humphries of Nomad Rifleman, used a custom long-range rifle… Continue reading Team uses one-of-a-kind 416 Barrett rifle to reach 4.4 miles

Those Italian shotgun experts in Gardone have flexed their way to another interesting modern design with classic styling: the Ultraleggero.

All you have to do is tune in to any national media source to see gun control orgs nationwide sing the praises of a decision by a Swiss financial industry standards group to establish a new merchant code, or MCC, for credit cards use in relation to those who sell of guns and ammunition. Groups… Continue reading Are Credit Cards Tracking Guns and Ammo Sales Now?

British gunmaker W.W. Greener first marketed 28-gauge shotguns back in the 1880s and they were exceedingly popular in Europe for taking small, nimble game such as quail, pheasant, and rabbit. While over on this side of the pond the smaller .410 bore filled this role while larger 20-, 16-, 12-, and 10-gauge shells took care… Continue reading Beretta says 28 Gauge isn’t Dead

Shadow Systems of Plano, Texas has been beating the drum of better Glock clones since 2016 with their (now discontinued) MR918 series and its follow-on DR/MR920s in Combat and Elite formats, the latter of which had all the Gucci high-speed features like compensators, gold barrels, and window-cut slides. The thing is that their Elite series… Continue reading Foundation: Shadow Systems Makes a More Affordable Elite Series

Launched almost a decade ago, the MCX series from Sig Sauer was originally developed for Special Operations use. Since then, it evolved into two different paths, one military, which saw adoption this year by the Army and SOCOM as the XM5 and Rattler, and the other a consumer avenue exemplified by the MCX Virtus and… Continue reading Sig Sauer Debuts the MCX Spear LT series, now in 7.62×39

Beretta has slowly been transitioning everything 92 series related to the new 92X format since it was introduced a couple of years ago.
