Black Rain’s Freedom Fighter AK keeps the soul of the platform and bolts on the upgrades shooters actually want, from a milled receiver to a folding stock that still runs, plus factory suppressor readiness.

International Barrels Inc., now operating as IBI Precision, built the Deuce 2.0 to compete. The result is a rimfire action aimed squarely at competitive shooters who want flexibility without custom-gun headaches.

The S98 has been teased for over a year, and SHOT Show 2026 marks its official public debut.

The stock features classic cut checkering, a schnabel forend, and a slim profile that complements the Featherweight’s balance. Over time, the inevitable nicks and scratches don’t detract from the rifle—they become touchstones tied to each hunt it goes on.

Smith & Wesson trims the fat and tunes what matters. Better sights, a cleaner trigger, and the same pocketable J-frame footprint make this a smart carry refresh.

Rideout Arsenal launches the Dragon pistol, a lever-delayed, modular 9mm with an ultra-low bore axis and fixed barrel aimed squarely at competition shooters.

Chiappa scales up the Rhino revolver to handle .44 Magnum, reinforcing the frame and cylinder while keeping its low-bore, bottom-firing design.

LOWA’s story starts in Bavaria more than a century ago, and that heritage still defines how the company designs footwear today.

At SHOT Show 2026, MDT positions the DRT as a purpose-built solution rather than a crossover chassis. As a result, it focuses on strength, mounting stability, and field efficiency after dark.
