From Steyr Arms:
Steyr Arms has substantially upped the ante on its extraordinary long-range tactical rifle, the SSG 08, with the introduction of a brand new adaptation chambered in the ultimate long-range tactical round, the .338 Lapua Magnum. A prototype of the new rifle is making its public debut this morning at the 2010 NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits. The display of the prototype coincides with the overwhelmingly successful conclusion of the extensive 10,000-round endurance and reliability testing of the new chambering in the SSG 08 at the Austrian factory. The rifles are currently in route to the U.S. and will be available this summer.

I’m glad to see that Smith & Wesson is correctly naming new pistols made as “standard capacity” and “low capacity.” Too many times we have allowed the banning crowd to control the language. I’m very happy that S&W is helping reclaim the language.

Riding the wave of LCR popularity, Ruger announced a second version of the .38 Special LCR. The new LCR features Hogue Boot Grips and a front Standard Dot tritium sight from XS Sight Systems.
The new model shaves 1/2 an ounce off the previous LCR, bringing in the weight at an even 13 ounces (unloaded.)
The new LCR will retail at $575 and will ship in June 2010.

Ruger just announced the LCR will now be chambered in .357 Magnum. The .357 LCR has been speculated about ever since the LCR was introduced at the 2009 SHOT Show, and now it is a reality.
Just one day ahead of the NRA Annual Meeting, the lightweight .357 Magnum from Ruger will likely be a hit.
The new Ruger LCR is a five shot revolver with a 1.88″ barrel and weighs in at a mere 17.1 ounces (unloaded.) Like the original LCR, the .357 Magnum version features Hogue Tamer grips on a polymer frame with a wide notch rear sight and a pinned front sight.

Smith & Wesson redesigned their website, giving it a fresh, bold look. Well done.

Supporting my theory that gun control groups are all about “control” not “guns,” Paul Helmke, leader of the infamous Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, showed his disdain for other parts of the U.S. Constitution this week. Helmke said:
“When the NRA’s agenda means saying even if you’re on the terror watch list, and the Justice Department feels that you’re a danger, you should be able to buy a gun, it’s an indication to me that they’ve gone too far.”
So according to Helmke, the Constitutionally-guaranteed right to due process doesn’t apply if some nameless bureaucrat drops you onto a “watch list” or otherwise “feels” you are a danger.
If I may point out, the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, in part, “…nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law…”
Its all about control folks. Guns are just one of the attack vectors.
