Hill and Mac had a very interesting gun at SHOT Show this year. They have taken the WWII German StG 44 and updated it while still retaining the original looks. The biggest news is that they will be available in calibers other than the hard to find original 8mm Kurz. It will come in 5.56, 7.62×39 and 300 Blackout in addition to the original 7.92×33.

Thompson Center had two new rifles to show off at SHOT Show 2016. The first is the Compass center fire rifle that offers some excellent and exciting features for a budget price with a sub MOA guarantee. The second is the new Strike muzzle loader that is striker fired.

The Model 700 Classic Triple Reed duck call from Sure-Shot from the 1960s has been out of production for a long time. Getting the 3 reeds right is not an easy trick. It is very easy to end up with an overly thick stack of reeds that are unresponsive and dull sounding. From what we heard in the booth at SHOT Show, Sure Shot Game Calls has got it right, and they’re bringing the Triple Reed back.

I was walking the aisles down in the far reaches of the basement when I looked over and saw what looked to be an old M40 Marine Sniper Rifle. And it was. I had stumbled upon the Hi-Lux Scope booth.

Some of the readers of GunsAmerica have asked about guns that are easy for people with weakened hands to carry. Age, arthritis–why should these things slow keep you from carrying? Well Taurus has listened, and their TCP is now available with an assistive device that makes racking easy.

This new blind from Alps Outdoorz is a great way to get the jump on some ducks. The set-up is effortless, and it is light enough to carry easily. Check out what we found at SHOT Show 2016.

Inland Manufacturing has added some new guns to their line up at SHOT Show 2016. The Advisor is a pistol version of the M1 Carbine and is built on a paratrooper style stock. Inland is also making a reproduction of the M37 Trench Gun that is build on an Ithaca receiver.

As many of you know, owning a handgun is next to impossible in England. But what about making one? I can not think of a single currently made British handgun. There hasn’t been a wheel gun made in the country in over 30 years, but Anderson Wheeler is changing that. And changing it with an update of the classic and iconic British revolver, the Webley.

The powers that be were blown away by how much buzz and excitement came from the announcement of the retro 1903 at last years SHOT Show. We were told that the excitement was so great that the Colt Custom Shop has been given a new assignment.
