Steiner has made very high-end optics for the military for a very long time, but I haven’t seen a lot from them on the civilian side. That ends now.

Kimber Super Jagare 10mm: Longslide, Ported & Optics-Ready—SHOT Show 2017

Kimber Super Jagare 10mm: Longslide, Ported & Optics-Ready—SHOT Show 2017

Being a full-fledged member of the cult of the 10mm, this was an excellent SHOT Show for me. New from Kimber this year is the Super Jagare. “Jagare” is German for hunter, and this new model should excel at that. Chambered in 10mm, it features a full 6-inch barrel to really exploit the velocity capability of this round. The barrel is also factory ported, which helps keep the gun controllable during recoil.

This year at SHOT Show we got our greedy little paws on two new offerings, and these are both going to be winners.

Multi-Mag Pistol-Caliber AR: Nordic Components PCC 9mm—SHOT Show 2017.

The NCPCC, or Nordic Components Pistol Caliber Carbine, is the coolest 9mm carbine I have seen. It sports standard AR furniture, which you can change out if you like, and a mil-spec trigger group. That also means you can put your favorite AR trigger in; no need to look for a sub gun special. By far the selling point though, in my opinion, is the innovative magazine system.

Stag Arms has been a leader in the AR side of the house, most notably the only major manufacturer to offer left-handed models. I don’t suffer from wronghandedness myself, but I appreciate a company stepping up the engineering to solve a problem.

New Kahr Arms Pistols from SHOT Show 2017

New Kahr Arms Pistols from SHOT Show 2017

{ 12 comments }

Kahr Arms is best known for concealed carry pistols, and that is exactly what they brought to the party this year. The CM line of pistols has new colors, and some new upgrades. The color is Tungsten Grey, with gray most certainly being the favorite new color of the gun industry. The Kahr Arms Tungsten is a darker gray, with a matte finish. It makes for a beautiful gun, and I am starting to really dig this “guns don’t always have to be black” attitude.
