One look at the new, American-Made Hudson H9 says a lot: this handgun does things differently. Half 1911 and half Glock, this will get a lot of attention.

The Gemtech GMT-300BLK suppressor is, as the name implies, designed specifically for use with the 300 AAC Blackout cartridge. While you can use it on any 300 Blackout rifle with a 7.5-inch or longer barrel, it was really built for short barrel rifle configurations. It’s small and light as far as centerfire rifle silencers go, so it’s a great fit for short, light, and handy carbines. Take a look for a full review of this really interesting suppressor.

Two weeks ago at the Smith and Wesson factory, I got my hands on something truly exciting, and the day has finally come that we can talk about it. That pistol is the M&P M2.0, a terrific new version of an already great pistol design. It is exceedingly rare that a company listens carefully to all the wants of its consumers, and actually puts those features in its next generation of product. I am very happy to report that S&W is one of those companies.

At the 2016 SHOT Show, Windham Weaponry announced that they would be showing a groundbreaking new rifle that would allow the user to convert between calibers by changing out the barrel, mag well, and bolt carrier group—all while utilizing the same lower and upper receivers. They were going to have three versions available, with up to four caliber options in one AR platform rifle.

Strike Industries is working on a sexy new receiver system including pistols and rifles that’s compatible with Heckler & Koch MP5 trigger groups.

In factory testing, on rare occasions, the SIG team found that they could sometimes cause a rifle to fire a negligent discharge when not safely handled.

Savage released a cool little teaser video last week that gave us just a little insight into its new MSR — modern sporting rifle.

In recent years, the changing threat matrix has resulted in many protection details transitioning from 9mm subguns to comparably sized platforms chambered for a rifle cartridge. While some agencies and military units make do with the M4 Carbine, others operate in environments not suited for the M4. What is needed is a submachine gun-sized carbine in 5.56mm. This is exactly where the LWRC IC PSD carbine comes into its own.

I cut my teeth on Remington rifles and have owned my fair share of custom and factory offerings but I kept hearing how superior the Tikka rifles were. There was a time when I just considered that big talk and now that I’ve had a Tikka T3X Compact Tactical in my hands, I don’t think it’s all talk.
