Gun-related crime is spiking in New Zealand a full two years after the country instituted a nationwide ban on most semi-automatic firearms.

Smith & Wesson is leading with two lines of M&P Shield Plus pistols, a standard, affordably priced line as well as a premium Performance Center series.

The P365X is a medium-sized version of the P365, combining features of both the original P365 and larger, optics-ready P365 XL, bundled with the 3-MOA red dot sight included with the XL ROMEOZero.

The MAX-9 is a polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol but with other upgrades that will make it compete with the likes of Glock, SIG Sauer and Springfield in the micro-compact market.

Red Arrow Weapons of Red Arrow TV fame has a new semi-custom AR-15 out, the RAW15, chambered for 5.56 NATO.

The new Savage Arms IMPULSE rifles are a whole new breed of rifle that raises the market to a new level. It’s really slick, very fast to operate, incredibly accurate; perhaps the most accurate rifle I have ever shot.

Lone Wolf Arms’ new Lightweight Tactical Defense (LTD) pistol may not be the answer for every shooter, but it is a quality American-made handgun that provides reliable performance in a package that adapts to fit most hands.

The sky is the limit with the first truly modular handgun, and the Pro-Cut slides are an important milestone in development. We are going to see big things from the P320 series. And I can’t wait to see what components come out next.

Not an uncommon sight: stripped out scope mount screw holes. They’re also our starting point for today’s project.
