The APEX is the world’s first bullpup style CCK, and it avoids pesky federal firearms laws by including a 16-inch barrel in the kit.

It’s likely that if you enjoy shooting, the only thing you don’t enjoy about it is loading magazines. Elite Tactical Systems was showing off their Gen II CAM Loader at the range during SHOT Show. It’s remarkably simple to use and it loads ten rounds into a magazine all at once. Other mag loaders often make it much easier, but still require loading one round at a time.

At SHOT Show 2022, LMT Advanced Technologies showed off a prototype of a new “zero back pressure” suppressor, the ION 30.

This year at SHOT Show 2022, SureFire introduced their new TURBO Line of lights. High candela lights that throw a beam a serious beam.

At SHOT Show 2022, Walther released its PDP Pro SD featuring a threaded barrel, dynamic performance trigger, optic cut with recoil lugs, and aluminum magwell in both compact and full-size variants.

Designed by Maztech Industries, the X4-Fire Control System or FCS is going to revolutionize the shooting world.

This time, they’ve made the gun we’ve all wanted since we were kids. It’s not a Tommy gun…but if John Thompson had made a tactical version, it would’ve looked a lot like this.

Bringing a few of these LPVOs out to SHOT Show 2022, I was able to see through them in person and was impressed.

This Year at SHOT Show 2022 I had the chance to check out some new rifle slings. While some people dismiss the importance of a sling, I don’t consider a rifle to be a rifle without one.

Hornady, owners of SnapSafe, announced the release of the GlideVault programmable safe at SHOT Show 2022.

MAJR Mechatronics is behind the A.C.E. and they brought it to SHOT Show this year. It’s a small module that attaches to a Picatinny rail (ARCA mounts can be swapped, too) and has small actuators that compensate for the small movements your gun makes to help eliminate the wobble while shooting handheld.

One aspect that delineates these guns as so-called “assault rifles” is that they have semi-automatic actions which use the kinetic energy created by firing one round to load the next into battery, making it ready to fire again.

Taking cues from their hardcore revolver fans, the handgun company is expanding its 605 line of .357 Mag. revolvers to include three-inch barrels and adding the .327 Federal Magnum cartridge to its 856 series.

The SHOT Show is always good for a few off-the-wall products, and 2022 was no exception. Leading the way was the Ounce Oz semi-auto .22 LR handgun from Third Bay, LLC.

Rock Island Armory debuted the VRF14 at Range Day at SHOT Show 2022. Legally this 12 gauge is classified as a “firearm.”

Folding buttstocks on AR-15 rifles and pistols have been all the rage for several years to make them smaller for storage and transport. FoldAR takes that compact storage level to a much higher plane.
