Cimarron is a well respected name among those who know their 19 century replicas. The company is very innovative. They understand the market well enough to provide guns for those who want historical accuracy, shooters who want speed, and they still manage to put out great guns for the rest of us, too–the ones who prefer a bit more Hollywood in our six-guns. Here’s two new guns for 2015.

Kingston Armory had a couple of intriguing rifles at SHOT Show this year. How does a .22 LR Garand or M14/M1A style rifle suite you? Well Kingston Armory is in the process of making them. These guns look and feel almost exactly like the real thing, but the rimfire chamberings will be much easier to shoot.

M.U.L.E. Tactical was at SHOT Show this year showing a very interesting AR stock. It is called the Adaptive Storage Stock. Simply put, it is a stock you can put a handgun in. You could put other things in there, too, but it wouldn’t be as much fun.

UTAS-USA has one of the best looking guns at the SHOT Show. The UT-X is a AR patterned shotgun. This 12 gauge uses a lot of common AR parts. The best part, though, may be the magazine. The UT-X will feed standard rimmed shot shells, which will make this an easy gun to feed. And it is made in the USA, too.

Controversial footage of a cop shooting a fleeing and armed suspect in Oklahoma has people debating whether the use of force was justified.

The primary sponsor of the New York SAFE Act was arrested Thursday by the FBI. He now faces charges for corruption.

Teaming up with Columbia School of Journalism, billionaire and gun-control czar Michael Bloomberg will fund a workshop to “educate” journalists on firearms.

The ARES Defense SCR is a blend of classic sporting rifle and an AR. With the function of an AR and the feel of a Monte Carlo stock, the SCR is a winner. Think of the SCR as if someone cut off the top part of a Remington 750 and put an AR upper on it. It feels and shoulders like a traditional sporting rifle, but works like an AR.

There are revolvers and then there are Smith & Wesson Performance Center Revolvers. This snub-nosed 686 has a lot of features that make the other Smith wheel guns jealous. It looks good, but it is also ideal for those who are looking for hard hitting firepower and unfailing reliability from their concealed carry gun.
