The Aimpoint Acro P-1 is basically a miniaturized/squared version of the Aimpoint Micro.  It was developed specifically for pistols or other weapons platforms requiring a fully enclosed small footprint red dot optic.  And it does just that.

The favored Black Widow got an update as the True Black Widow. The 17-4 stainless steel frame now features a flat black PVD coating to match the grips and deadly hourglass.

The new PL-Mini2 from Olight features a 600 lumen output with a maximum distance of 100 meters. It’s availalbe now for purchase.

I’m currently in love with an old Winchester Model 69A .22 and maybe that’s given me a soft spot for Winchester plinksters. Nevertheless, of all the guns I saw at SHOT show, the is probably the one that I’m most looking forward to getting my hands on. It’s lightweight, it’s got useful new features and [...]

Several details come together in Saint Victor to make it a respectable addition to the world of AR’s. It’s got some design updates as well as quality components and finishing.

Crimson Trace has long been known for their lasers and lights and has a few new offerings of those here at SHOT 2019, but what is most surprising is that they now have a full optics line.  Crimson Trace didn’t just dip their toe in the waters they jumped in full cannonball style.

The MC1sc is a polymer-framed, striker-fired subcompact handgun with a staggered-stack magazine chambered for 9mm Luger, and it’s a first for Mossberg.

Warne Manufacturing has been making great rifle scopes for many years. Rumors swirled at last year’s SHOT Show about a robust quick detach bipod that Warne was about to release, but that’s where the story ended. Until now. At this year’s SHOT Show Warne introduced their Skyline Precision Bipod.

OSS has what is probably the most unique gas management system in the world of suppressors. Rather than a baffle stack, gasses are routed forward, backwards, and again forward of the shooter – all in a helical pattern.

Genesis Arms has introduced both a full production Gen-12 Shotgun, as well as Gen-12 upper receivers that can be swapped with any DPMS Pattern Gen 1 lower receiver.  Pop out the two takedown pins on your AR-10, throw the new Gen-12 upper on and you are ready to rock.

Nosler, the well-known hunting and shooting company has new 2019 ammo and component offerings for shooters and reloaders in several popular cartridges.

Kel-Tec’s new CP33 is a quad stacked 22lr handgun that is made specifically with accuracy and quantity in mind. This makes for a great shooting experience.

If you have ever worked on a rifle or pistol in the field, you know that feeling… I don’t have the right tool for the job, but I do have a multitool.  This is a pretty solid recipe for wrecking stuff.  Stripping out screws, trying to grab a hold of bolts with pliers, etc.  has [...]

The Hammer uses a 24cu carbon fiber tank holding 4,500 psi of compressed gas.  Each shot is then regulated at 3,000 psi.  What will all that pressure give you?  It will move a .50 caliber 550-grain lead slug at 790fps.  That translates to 760 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle.

This rifle is targeting not only long range shooters, but all hunters alike with chambering offerings that include everything from 22-250 to 300 RUM. Obviously, this means that the Traverse will come in long action and short action models, which will be identical in quality, vary only by weight.

In the past, the Model 64 has been a reliable and cost effective choice when buying a semi-auto 22. Yes, it is not a fancy gun, but that has now changed with the new Model 64 Takedown that was introduced at Shot Show 2019. This new rifle boasts a takedown system that relies on a barrel nut which you can tighten and loosen without tools.

At first blush this scope will look very familiar to anyone who has seen or used the Leupold Mark 5HD in 5-25 magnification. In fact, it shares the same main tube with its lower magnification brother, so tube size is not a source of additional weight with this new 7-35 version. It weighs in at a svelte 33 ounces, which is not much for scopes in this class. 

The new pistol is built around their award-winning PPQ platform.  The Q5 Match Steel Frame is built from the ground up for competition. 

So who is the market for this gun?  I can see it doing well for someone in the 3-Gun world, someone in the market for a home defense solution, or even someone just looking to have fun at the range.

Intended as an everyday working knife, this update to the 0393 has a hard finish and a solid, hold-able design. Glow in the dark fibers are interwoven with the carbon fiber and it glows green. It’s made of CPM 20CV with a durable finish and Hinderer customizable parts.

Not only can you change the grips and straps to fit your hands better, but you can also swap the magazine release to the right side, and you don’t need a gunsmith to do it. This is the first truly ambidextrous gun from Kimber in this size.
