Governmental responses to the COVID-19 outbreak have varied across the country, but Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is taking a new approach: release incarcerated criminals and discourage law-abiding citizens from purchasing firearms.

Owners of the original Fusion rifle see the distinctive suppressor is still integrated on the barrel, but they will note the 2’s stock now has a taller pistol grip. The original was also a single shot rifle with two 12-gram CO2 cylinders. Fusion 2 now has a 9-round rotary magazine coupled with the bolt action for faster followup shots and much more CO2 capacity.

FN America is expanding on its 5-series of duty guns with the new pocket-sized FN 503 for backup and concealed-carry chambered in 9mm.

The mayor of New Orleans issued a proclamation last week giving her the power to ban the sale and transport of firearms in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Now Ruger is announcing the modular new PC Charger, a 9mm takedown pistol based on the PC Carbine and Ruger Charger series.

Social media is full of reports of empty ammo shelves, and one major ammunition dealer has reported a major spike in sales.

When I first received the FN Five-seveN (FN 57 from here out), I immediately took notice of how lightweight it is. Coming in at only 21 ounces without the mag, it’s the kind of deceiving that pulls a remark out of anyone that picks one up for the first time. Coupling this fact with my knowledge of the FN 57 being used by military and police across the world, the latter makes a lot more sense. This is a powerful package that carries 20 rounds of 5.7×28 and puts minimal strain on the hip of the person that has to carry it.

After using the Optika6 for a few months, I have grown fond of it. I’ve reviewed a handful of mediocre optics as well as incredible ones. I’d categorize the Optika6 4.5-27×50 under the incredible offerings. This optic is feature packed, extremely affordable for what you are getting, the optical quality is fantastic and you get a great warranty from a well-established company that will be here for years to come.

The Outfitter G2 isn’t the perfect rifle for all situations, but it’s an excellent choice for hunters who pursue game in heavily wooded areas. It’s also a great option for new shooters and young shooters.
