SIG seems like they are poised to try and take over the world right now, and from the new products I have seen this year that wouldn’t be a bad thing. No surprise then when we saw the new SRD22X rimfire silencer and were told it is the quietest one on the market.

Two weeks ago, GunsAmerica got the invite to attend the Beretta Tactical Summit hosted at The O’Gara Group training facility in Virginia. The choice of venue was a deliberate step by Beretta as they aggressively step back into the tactical market, and featured toys from across the Beretta line. It was a really nice change from usual product releases, and the facility offered a chance to really wring out the new APX 9mm striker-fired pistol. We had to hold off publishing due to an embargo on info on the pistol, but finally, its day has come.

In the video above, Clay walks you through how to go full gangster with your plain Jane 10/22. As you’ll see, it’s really simple to do.

Rock River Arms has long been a staple of the AR market, offering high-quality rifles in a range of interesting configurations. For 2017, the company has developed a new fluting pattern as well as expanded out its 7.62 AR-based line of firearms with new models and chamberings.

Tracking point was back with a vengeance this year.

Night Force has a long reputation for excellence in the premium rifle scope market, and this year they released something epic. The new ATACR 7×35 with a Horus Tremor 3 reticle.

Isobrite watches are another SHOT Show item that I don’t have to ask about, as I have been wearing one for six months.

This week we are reviewing the Baby Desert Eagle III in .45 ACP, a perfect blend of Israeli military design with a good old American man killer in the magazine. The Baby Eagle III is a double action/single action (DA/SA) pistol in .45 ACP (or 9mm) with combat experience in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and a lineage traceable through Israel and directly back to the renowned CZ-75 pistol. But let’s get to the real question. Is this gun that is made and Israel and imported by Magnum Research a cool gun? Why, yes. Yes, it is.

“Battlefield to Backcountry” isn’t a cute advertising line at Kryptek, it’s a way of life. The founders are very serious about hunting; the home office is covered top to bottom in mounts of animals they have harvested. Both are also U.S. Army veterans, with a whole mess of combat between them. It should come as no surprise then, that when they founded the company to fix camouflage as we know it, they brought their “A” game. New for this year, some products for both the tactical and the hunting world.
