Thermal optics are hotter than ever—literally and figuratively—and the 2025 NRA Show brought a new wave of cutting-edge devices from SIG Sauer, InfiRay, and Nocpix.

Whether you’re after innovation, compatibility, or just good old American steel, there’s a sidearm here worth a second look.

Available in 8-inch and 4-inch barrel configurations, the Stinger 9 is chambered in 9mm and feeds from widely available CZ Scorpion mags.

This beast folds with your optic still mounted, thanks to KelTec’s slick new rotating forend design. Just twist, click, and stow. It’s that easy. Red dot stays zeroed. Gun stays compact.

And yes, it keeps all the attitude of the full-size R95 line—Cerakoted steel, paracord-wrapped loop, and that unmistakable Rossi lever thump.

You read that right: Hi-Point just dropped a 13.25″ barreled pistol chambered in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, and it’s got everything you’d expect—plus a few new tricks.

Yes, you read that right—a .380-chambered AR-platform SBR, complete with detachable carry handle and compact stock.

And the price? Let’s just say it—$10,000. Nine have already sold. If you’re even thinking about it, you’d better move fast.

That’s right. The iconic TAC Ultra, once imported, is now being built at Rock Island’s new facility in Cedar City, Utah, and it’s better than ever.
