IWI is famous the world over for bullpup designs, and this year stepped out with Tavor 7, a feature-rich addition to the lineup. The Tavor 7 is chambered in 7.62×51, a first for IWI.

At SHOT Show 2018 was not the first time I have seen the M+M industries M10x International Defense Rifle, but it was worth stopping by.

The counters are awash to their gunwales in plastic pistols. There’s the obligatory smattering of scatterguns, precision rifles, and wheelguns, but that really is about it.

So how does this affect anyone out there buying patches? Well, from a Veteran perspective, it is pretty humbling that people want the badge of our units.

To celebrate the military’s decicion to adopt their pistol, SIG is releasing a special limited-edition run of MHS handguns to the general public.
