The 85 is a rock-solid revolver, but Taurus has added something special to this one. The hammer spur can be removed with a simple twist. Now the classic wheel gun can be easily converted into an even better option for concealed carry.

Steel Challenge is the perfect gateway discipline into the wonderful world of competitive shooting.

Benelli is generally my first choice in shotguns. I have used the M2 for 3-Gun for almost five years now. Benelli has been synonymous with reliability among hunters and shooters since they opened the doors in 1967. I am sure it helps that they are now under the same umbrella as Beretta, who has been making firearms since 1526. The SuperNova lived up to the reputation I was expecting in every regard.

The Bullpup Unlimited kit for the Mossberg 500 and Remington 870 isn’t beautiful, but it works. This kit takes a normal pump shotgun and shortens it significantly, without any extra paperwork. Turn the old work horse into a compact fighting gun.

The Webley & Scott Empire Rifle is a solid buy for hunters looking for a gun with a little more class than your average entry-level bolt gun. Sub MOA accuracy and excellent attention to detail make this an attractive package.

This week will be my first installment into canning food in steel cans. Think of it this way. You haven’t eaten in a week. You just killed a deer. You really would like to be able to eat venison next week without having to kill another deer. What do you do?

The booth for Unique ARs grabbed my attention from across the room. It’s not tactical. It’s not coyote tan. It’s not endorsed by counter-terrorism experts from across the realm. But it is totally freaking cool. It is a Trump-marked AR handguard. Yes, you can Trump your AR with Unique ARs’ help. It has “TRUMP” and “Make America Great Again” emblazoned along its length.

Barrett is one of America’s truly great weapons designers, and the new 240 LWS from the company took the cake for change this year. The 240 family of weapons has been in service with the US military since the late 70s, and it was due for an overhaul. Barrett delivered one of those in spades with its new 240LWS.

Tristar had some new shotguns at SHOT Show this year. If you are not familiar with Tristar they are making some very nicely build price-point shotguns. They may not have the fanciest fit and finish or every bell and whistle, but they flat out run. There were two stand outs in the new guns Tristar had at SHOT this year. One is a tactical AR styled shotgun and the other is a single barrel trap gun.
