The Heizer DoubleTap is a two-shot .45 ACP pistol that was announced last year, and subsequently shown at the 2012 SHOT Show. The DoubleTap is a very thin, lightweight gun designed for concealed carry. As it is very flat, it could make an excellent pocket gun. The new Heizer pistol is an all-metal gun that…
INFORCE is making a weapon mounted flashlight that has a much sleeker look that many of the other options on the market. The INFORCE WML design eliminates the need for tape switches and wires.

The SIG P938 pistol has generated a lot of interest from shooters ever since word of it leaked in late 2011. The P938 is a single-action-only handgun chambered in 9mm. I can understand why this pistol would generate a lot of interest. Â Essentially, the P938 is a 9mm version of the very popular SIG p238…

If you want a holster for the Ruger SR-22 pistol announced yesterday, you do have a few options available immediately. These are going to be the more generic, “one size fits many” type holsters, but they will work. These holsters should fit the SR-22 pistol:
I may be the last person to have heard, but CMMG is making AR-style rifles chambered for the .300 BLK cartridge. (As it turns out, I was not. I got an e-mail from a guy who had been stranded in the arctic for the past six months who had not heard about these rifles either.) Essentially,…

Winchester announced a new line of affordable hunting ammo at the 2011 SHOT Show called the Power Core 95/5. This new ammunition is an interesting collection of loads and they offer reasonable pricing. The name “95/5” comes from the bullet which is a 95% copper, 5% zinc alloy.
The Gen 4 Glock 21 is now a reality. The Glock 21 is one of the more discussed models from the company: on the one hand, it gives the shooter 13+1 rounds of the powerful .45 ACP to handle whatever threat may present itself. On the other hand, the gun is noticeably thicker than other Glock models,…

If I recall correctly, I got to see a .32 NAA version of the Diamondback pistol at the 2011 Media Day at the Range. Diamondback published this video of a barrel conversion for the DB380. If you aren’t familiar with the .32 NAA, it is a bottle neck pistol cartridge that uses a necked-down .380…

A few months back, Guns.com reported that Diamondback Firearms had teamed up with Thompson Machine to make a suppressed DB380. Now it seems they are doing the same for the DB9 9mm pistol.
