Shotgun

Langdon Tactical Technology has entered the shotgun game in a big way. They took the Beretta 1301 Tactical and gave it a makeover!

Beretta’s Silver Pigeon I over-under shotguns have just been updated for 2019. The gun remains the classic styling and tight lockup but gets new barrels and updated engraving.

The first time I hefted Browning’s new Cynergy, it left me feeling pleasantly surprised and excited to take it afield in pursuit of gobblers. The shotgun is lightweight, well balanced, carries pleasantly, and comes to the shoulder nicely.

nter Ordnance’s new IO XB is a semi-automatic bullpup 12 gauge shotgun. It comes in black, flat dark earth, or olive drab green. It ships with two 5-round mags.

How a shotgun feels when it’s thrown up on your shoulder is typically our first and most important impression. However that first impression can sometimes be wrong, I’ve had several shotguns that felt really good but never delivered when it was time to hit the targets.

In order to become a better shooter, you need to train with people who are not only better shooters than you but are also excellent teachers. Daniel Horner has drafted some of the best shooters and trainers in the world to create a library of quality video training you can access 24/7: OnVirtus.com (and there’s a discount code inside).

A bullpup shotgun offers more maneuverability in close quarters and competition situations. I think it’d be interesting to hunt with a super short weapon, as well, for fast target acquisition and less fatigue from carrying a long gun. Rock Island Armory’s new VRBP100 is just 32″ overall but maintains a full 20″ of barrel length for accuracy.

CZ-USA and the city of Little Rock, Arkansas have announced a new firearms manufacturing plant and North American headquarters to be built at the Little Rock Port. Construction will begin in the Spring of 2020 and the new plant will offer 565 jobs.

Savage Arms has announced an update to their Stevens 555 O/U shotguns. The 555 has chrome-lined 28″ barrels with a single selective mechanical trigger and a black finish on the barrels and receiver.
