Guns

Browning had a number of new products at SHOT Show this year. One of the standouts was the new 725 Citoris in 28 gauge and .410. The Citori is the direct descendant of the John Browning designed Superposed, and the 725 is the newest addition.

Colt has teamed with U.S. Armament Corp., the guys that made the Gatling gun a few years back, to remake the old John Browning classis. Now they are making the 1903 in the General Officers Pistol version. Could this be the start of a whole new line of Retro-Classic-Colts?

AR-15s in calibers other than 5.56 are nothing new. Yet one big trend recently is the attempt to perfect the 7.62×39 in AR form. Is that the answer? Or can the AK be refined? That’s the question that these 5 guns from SHOT Show 2015 try to answer.

This past week we ran a extremely popular SHOT article on the new AR pistol from MGI chambered in the 7.62×39 cartridge, which we generally think of as exclusive to the AK-47 and SKS class of rifles. Many people noted in the comments out there that there are other options for ARs that take AK mags, and it so happens that we put the https://rockriverarms.com/lar47″>Rock River LAR-47 through its paces some time ago. Since the gun is available for sale right now, this week is a good time to run it.

So you want to experience a gun that the pistoleros of old carried? The wheel guns of lawmen and outlaws alike was the Colt 1873. Original Colts are getting more and more expensive and then there is the risk of shooting a 100 plus year old revolver. But there are options to get the next best thing. Thanks to some of our Italian brothers we can shoot reproductions of the classic old west guns without fear for safety, damaging a collectable and with out breaking the bank. This Uberti Cattleman is a great place to start.

MGI has the most innovative modular rifle on the market today. You want one serialized lower on which you can run just about anything else you want? MGI has it. We’ve put the Hydra system to the test–and couldn’t be more pleased with the way this thing runs. So what’s new for 2015?

Masterpiece Arms has a new masterpiece. The DMG is a 9mm pistol that evokes the charm of the old MAC pistols. Will the semiautomatic DMG prove as popular? Check these things out. They look like great fun guns and we can’t wait to get one on the range.

In a year marked by some sad excuses for new product launches, Kahr is pushing forward. They’ve released upgraded pistols, and added to the Desert Eagle line. Magnum Research, Kahr, and Auto Ordnance all had new launches this year, and some of these guns are just plain bad-ass.

When we got wind of the Scorpion (maybe the most fun gun we’ve reviewed all year), we thought that would be the feature story for CZ at SHOT show. Little did we know–the Scorpion was only one chapter. There’s more news from CZ, and it is going to make AR pistol fans happy.
