When it comes to rifles in the U.S., none has ever been more popular than the AR-15. I personally think that one of the reasons for the mind-numbing popularity of the AR-15 is because the platform has a military-proven pedigree, can be had at a reasonable price, and is ear-to-ear-smile fun all day long. It makes perfect sense then, that Ruger would make it a point to market an AR rifle for everyday Americans – because providing quality affordable guns to mainstream America is what Ruger does. And it did it with the AR-556.

Heckler & Koch has quietly released details about their new H&K SFP pistols for military and police users including a subcompact and a long-slide model.

With a 34mm tube and a 28mm objective lens, Trijicon’s new scope is plenty bright. It’s as suited for tactical guns as it is on hunting rifles.

What do you do if you don’t feel that a 12-gauge slug doesn’t have enough stopping power? OK, so maybe if you ever feel under gunned with a shottie slug you’re fighting Godzilla, but, hey, it could happen. You could try to stuff a 40mm grenade in there, but that requires all sorts of complicated licensing. A more realistic option might be to use a fragmenting projectile design. That’s exactly what Winchester Ammunition has done with their PDX1 Defender Segmenting Slug.

Glock is protesting the military’s decision to replace their current sidearm with the relatively new SIG P320-based XM17.

Talley Manufacturing’s detachable rings allow shooters to remove and replace an optic without having to worry about a shift in zero.

Two weeks ago, GunsAmerica got the invite to attend the Beretta Tactical Summit hosted at The O’Gara Group training facility in Virginia. The choice of venue was a deliberate step by Beretta as they aggressively step back into the tactical market, and featured toys from across the Beretta line. It was a really nice change from usual product releases, and the facility offered a chance to really wring out the new APX 9mm striker-fired pistol. We had to hold off publishing due to an embargo on info on the pistol, but finally, its day has come.

Savage has now broken into what is currently the largest segment of the rifle market, bringing along their 123 years of rifle-making history into its MSR (modern sporting rifle) line of AR-style rifles. We were understandably eager to see how they could impact this established market in a state of change with our review of the new MSR 15 Recon in .223 Wylde.

TruGlo is best known for created the original TFO day/night sight, by combining tritium with fiber optic in one sight. For 2017 they have introduced several new great products.
