Remington HyperSonic rifle ammunition promises to “supercharge” centerfire rifle cartridges and deliver up to 200 fps more velocity from standard pressure loads. Remington states the rounds will deliver “laser-flat trajectories” and more energy on target for better performance. The nine new loads cover seven of the most popular hunting cartridges, both short and long action…
The new Savage B.MAG rifle is a completely new compact rimfire bolt-action gun designed specifically for the new .17 Winchester Super Magnum cartridge. The .17 WSM is a rimfire round that is capable of speeds to an amazing 3,000 fps. Click here for more on this new cartridge. The B.MAG is an entirely new rifle,…
The SIG P238 Tribal is just one of the new variations of existing guns that SIG Sauer showed at the SHOT Show this year. Generally, the company will roll out several variations of their popular guns at the show, with some of them becoming permanent additions to the line, while others become limited runs. The…
The SAR 357 is a revolver made by Sarsilmaz and chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge. The handgun bears a resemblance to the classic Smith & Wesson revolvers and has several features like the Smith guns. I had a chance to get a feel for one at the SAR Arms exhibit at the 2013 SHOT…
The newly updated Mossberg SA-20 Field/Tactical autoloader is a 20 gauge shotgun with a 20″ barrel, synthetic stock and a variety of features that might make it a good home defense gun for you. With the updated version shown at the 2013 SHOT Show, I immediately saw the gun’s home defense potential for a variety of reasons,…
The MultiCam Rally Fighter is but one of the cool vehicles frequently seen at the SHOT Show. This purpose-built machine was prominently displayed on the ground floor of the convention center, and drew quite a bit of interest from people wandering by.
While at Media Day, I got a chance to see the Comp-Tac Trojan Horse, which is a discreet way to carry a rifle or carbine. The case looks more like an over-sized tennis racquet case than it does a rifle bag. This allows someone to legally carry a gun into places in a manner that will not…
Kahr announced the new CW380 at the SHOT Show. The new pistol is chamered in .380 ACP and continues the budget line of pistols the company has been putting out for several years. Other calibers in this line include the CW9 and CW40 in 9mm and .40 S&W respectively. The CW380 has a 2.58″ barrel…
Rock Island Armory is introducing two new 10mm pistols at the SHOT Show. Both are 1911-type platforms. Here are the specs on these guns:
It looks like Glock’s big announcement at the SHOT Show (other than “Hey, we have a social network site!”) is the 30S pistol. I mentioned the rumors of this gun a few days ago, but I have now seen one. Essentially, the Glock 30S is a model 30SF frame with a model 36 slide attached to…
“The next generation of submachine gun is here,” states a SIG Sauer video demonstrating the all new SIG MPX. The SIG MPX is a new submachine gun that the company is expected to show off at next week’s SHOT Show. There are a number of features that really set this gun apart from others in…
Mere days ahead of the 2013 SHOT Show, we get out first glimpse at the Ruger Guide Gun. The new series of rifles are rugged, compact rifles weighing between 8 to 8.12 pounds. The guns are chambered in serious calibers: .30-06, .300 Win Mag, .338 Win Mag, .375 Ruger, .300 RCM and .338 RCM. When the…
HK announced the introduction of the HK45 Tactical to the civilian market. It looks like you will be able to get them in all sorts of tactical colors and with a threaded barrel. Probably the oddest thing about this product announcement is that the HK45 Tactical is shown in a photograph with a “dummy” sound…
As mentioned in a previous report of SHOT Show rumors, Winchester Repeating Arms is re-introducing the classic Model 1873 short rifle in 2013. Considered by some as “the gun that won the west,” the new version of the classic lever action rifle will be chambered for the .357 Magnum and will also short the mild…
THIS IS SPARTA…or at least a 1911 commemorating the ancient Greek nation-state. The SIG 1911 Spartan is a special edition, full-size 1911 with a great looking finish. While I am sure this gun will shoot, this is an awesome bar-b-que gun. The finish is an oil-rubbed bronze Nitron finish, while the engraved “Molon Labe” on…
The much rumored Ruger SR1911 commander is now a reality after the company announced its introduction on its website. Ever since the introduction of the original SR1911, Ruger and 1911 fans have been asking for a commander-sized gun. The new SR1911 commander is a traditional 1911-style pistol that is slightly shortened in general parameters of…
The Ruger SR45 is now a reality. Just days ahead of the 2013 SHOT Show, Sturm, Ruger & Co announced the big bore addition to the company’s popular “SR” series of handguns. Chambered in .45 ACP, the new SR45 comes standard with 10-round magazines, giving the shooter a lot of firepower. Yet, Ruger claims the…
Well the new rimfire cartridge is here and it is a smoking hot round: the .17 Winchester Super Magnum. The new rimfire promises “pinpoint accuracy” and the “downrange performance of a centerfire cartridge.” Ok, let’s cut to the chase: the new Winchester cartridge is pushing a 20 grain bullet at 3,000 fps. That is an amazing…
A “go bag” is typically a pack or bag that is loaded with the essentials someone might need to survive if they have to leave where they are in a hurry. I differentiate the go bag from the bug out bag, considering the bug out bag to have more supplies to better sustain me for several days,…
Update: I just watched this video (click here) of the MPAR-556 Gen II being run in a competition shoot by the guys at Full30. I was not impressed by its performance. MasterPiece Arms is releasing more information on the new MPAR 556, the company’s new piston driven AR rifle. The new rifle sounds like it…
At the 2012 NASGW Expo, Heizer Defense was spreading the word that they would be introducing a small pistol in the near future. Jim Bruchas, the director of sales for Heizer Defense, suggested the new gun would be very similar to the DoubleTap pistol they had been contracted to produce for DoubleTap Defense before that relationship…
