After several months in the works, CZ-USA will now be making P-10 pistols right in the heart of the U.S., Kansas City. They’re also expanding the series with subcompact and full-size models.

The updated B model has a reversible push-button magazine release along with all the features that make the VP9 the success it’s been.

The explosion of the concealed carry market has meant nothing but good news for gun nuts. Gun manufacturers have been more than happy to oblige, though some have been quicker than others.

Ruger is adding a new premium line of factory-tuned rifles and pistols with the new Custom Shop as well as magnum RPRs and a long-awaited SP101.

SIG Sauer presented the set of four pistols to the Sentinals, guardians of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers a few days ago.

Crimson Trace is expanding their portfolio with a flight of new optics. The company will be launching with four red dots and a fixed-power scope.
