The Chiappa Rhino 60 DS 10mm looks like a sci-fi prop, fires from the bottom chamber, and somehow makes full-power 10mm Auto feel far more civilized than it should. I ran it with defensive, hunting, and range ammo to see if the weird design is real engineering or just revolver theater.

S&W’s Performance Center Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp is a tiny .380 that shoots flatter than it should, carries easier than most, and only needed one fix at the sights.

After a year of hunting and range abuse, the Diligent Defense DTF/STI proved short, light, and shockingly quiet on 8.6 BLK and .338. It took heat, knocks, and long strings, then kept purring.

Uintah’s UP-10 blends AR ergonomics with bolt-action precision, staying compact, quiet, and flat-out useful with both subsonics and supersonics.

The 2011 Bull Barrel CoolFire Trainer adds believable CO2 recoil and auto reset to dry fire, turning living room reps into full-speed practice that feels dangerously close to live fire.

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.

Zero Compromise Optics debuts the ZC420 Hunter, a lighter and slimmer 4-20x scope redesigned for scabbards, packs, and real-world hunting.

Altama introduces the Legacy trainer, an overlasted performance shoe that pairs an aggressive outsole with a protected IGNITE midsole for off-road speed and all-day wear.
