TriStar Arms is offering shooters more ways to customize its popular KR22 .22 LR rifle without changing its proven performance. The new Flat Dark Earth and Olive Drab Green finishes join the original synthetic black model, bringing modern, outdoors-inspired looks to the versatile semi-automatic rimfire.

Samson Manufacturing has announced the latest addition to its growing line of rifle furniture with the introduction of the SAS-K (Samson Adjustable Stock - K), a compact variant of its existing SAS folding stock system. The new model answers long-standing customer requests for a shorter, more compact adjustable stock without sacrificing durability or functionality.

With the United States approaching its 250th anniversary in 2026, Henry Repeating Arms has unveiled a highly exclusive commemorative firearm: The Spirit of ’76 Semiquincentennial Edition. Limited to just 250 examples, the rifle is intended as a collector-grade tribute to the nation’s founding and the historical events that defined it. I wonder if any of them will ever be used and fired?

Christmas movies and gun-heavy action seem like they would go together like strawberries and mustard, but there is a long tradition of Christmas-themed action movies. From Bruce Willis crawling through air ducts to Mel Gibson's suicidal cop finding his will to live, some of the most memorable holiday films feature serious firepower alongside the tinsel and eggnog.

When it comes to new products in the gun community, there are some innovative companies that offer quality gear at an affordable price. The initial reviews come out glowing, but what about years of abuse? What happens to those products years after they are unboxed and used on a daily basis? I have a unique job where I use rifle cases almost every day. I picked up a Multicam Black Savior Bag roughly 7 and a half years ago, which has happened a lot with that bag traveling tens of thousands of miles, usually loaded to the gills with gear. I also bought a new one to see some differences and improvements. Let's take a closer look at the Savior Equipment Urban Warfare Bag after 7 years.

Ever since my Concamo Ghosthood Confusion Camouflage System review, I’ve admired the simplicity of the system and respected the amazing efficiency of the camouflage. Regardless of whether the U.S. Marines read our review or not, they’re now evaluating the system. During the evaluation, it seems a few Marines went missing.

A few weeks ago, we took a look at the relatively new Smith & Wesson 617 Mountain Gun. The rimfire variant of the Mountain Gun series is a higher-quality addition to the current lineup of .22LR revolvers, and I have been looking for a perfect excuse to take another look at the “kit gun” concept and mash it up with the scoped revolver concept popularized by guys like Bill Wilson and J.D. Jones. The Mountain Gun is actually perfectly suited for this since it’s built on the same K-Frame that the Model 10 (.38 Spl) and Model 13 (.357 Mag) are. Today, I’ll show you guys what I’ve gathered to help push the reliability of the short-range .22LR 617 Mountain gun into a slightly more useful role as a longer-range small-game hunting gun, complete with a Burris 2x20 Handgun Scope, and a fitting leather chest holster from Falco Holsters.

Springfield Armory has announced that the Henderson Police Department (HPD) in Henderson, Nevada, has officially adopted the Echelon 9mm pistol as its new duty handgun. Following an extensive evaluation process, HPD selected both the full-size Echelon 4.5F and the compact Echelon 4.0C for service across multiple divisions.

Smith & Wesson has added a new chambering to its Model 1854 lever-action rifle line with the introduction of the .360 Buckhammer variant. The rifle combines traditional lever-action ergonomics with contemporary tactical features intended to broaden its utility across hunting and field applications.

SIGHTRON has announced that its long-anticipated S6 10–60x56 ED Field Target riflescope is now shipping. The optic is intended for airgun and small-caliber field target shooters as well as benchrest competitors, with a design focused on high-resolution glass, precise parallax control, and repeatable adjustments. The S6 uses a 15-lens optical system built from Japanese optical-grade glass.

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday, brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) released the 2026 rulebooks, and there was a surprise in the highpower rifle rules. Suppressors are going to be allowed! But only in some events. Let’s go through the rules and take a look at which events are about to get quieter.

This past spring, I was invited to a training facility in Florida for a two-day set of courses. The Faculty was called W.O.F.T., which W.O.F.T. stands for “Where Our Families Train,” after looking over their website, I attended one of their courses. Over the course of this three-part series I’ve shared my experience and thoughts on W.O.F.T’s approach. I recommend reading Part 1 and Part 2 before continuing with this article.

The K95 Caprivi is a limited-edition, luxury single-shot rifle produced by the German firearm manufacturer Blaser Jagdwaffen GmbH. These images are probably as close as most of our readers will ever get to seeing one, let alone owning one - perfect for our Photo Of The Day, in other words. The K95 was introduced in 1995, so now, being 2025, you can guess the anniversary.

You've just mailed your 1,800th tobacco tag to St. Louis. Weeks later, a wooden crate arrives containing your "free" Colt 1877 revolver. You think you've beaten the system…You haven't. The Continental Tobacco Company just made you their customer for years, and the math was never in your favor. Welcome to Fudd Friday, where we're examining the golden age of tobacco premium programs. Back when companies gave away firearms, wagons, toiletries, boxing gloves, baby strollers, and anything else you can think of to create captive customers.

Apparently, it’s possible to improve the legendary 10/22, even with more than 10 million produced over the past 61 years. Ruger has just announced enhancements to its iconic rimfire rifle platform, bringing upgraded components previously seen only on select models to a broader range of Standard 10/22 configurations. Since its introduction in 1964, the Ruger 10/22 has been widely regarded as a benchmark in semi‑automatic rimfire rifles, known for reliability, aftermarket support, and adaptability. The latest updates are designed to make the platform even more appealing to shooters looking for a ready‑to‑shoot package straight from the factory.

Colt’s Manufacturing Co. LLC has been awarded a $12.93 million firm-fixed-price contract to supply Colt M4A1 carbines along with suppressors and flash hiders under the U.S. government’s Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. The contract was awarded to Colt’s facility in West Hartford, Connecticut, with work scheduled to be completed by June 30, 2026. Fiscal Year 2025 FMS funds for Israel, totaling $12,934,700, were obligated at the time of the award.

The CZ have announced that the Bundeswehr has selected the CZ P-10C OR FDE as the P13. The P13 will replace the P8A1, the Heckler & Koch USP, which entered service in 1994. CZ have described the selection as “one of the most significant milestones in its history.”

Lipsey's has some new models in the Ultimate Carry revolver family. These versions substitute rubber grips for the G-10 stocks seen on prior models. Keep reading for all the details.

Patriot Ordnance Factory Inc. (POF-USA), working in partnership with SERT, has announced it has been awarded a contract to supply a Next Generation Rifle System to an undisclosed end user in Asia. The agreement further expands POF-USA’s footprint in the international defense market, where the company supplies small arms solutions to military, law enforcement, and government customers.

The first time I ever saw this rifle was during a trip to Russia in 2012. It sat on display, with no label or information plaque, an oddity that immediately caught my attention. Curiosity pushed me to dig deeper, and after reaching out to my friend Mikhail at Kalashnikov.Ru, I learned that the rifle had been briefly featured in Kalashnikov Magazine back in 1997. That was where the real story began.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we took a look at traveling with guns and how to navigate how much to pack when you head out. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I want to look at quick, easy gifts to pick up for people who carry a concealed handgun but may not talk about what they want. It can be really tricky to find gift ideas, so these are some of the fairly safe choices that every gun guy needs. Let's take a closer look at easy Christmas gifts for carriers.

Heckler & Koch USA has announced a new addition to its VP9A1 pistol lineup with the release of the VP9A1 X, a configuration that blends features from both the compact and full-size models into a single, balanced package. Positioned between the VP9A1 K and the VP9A1 F, the new X model combines a shorter slide with full-capacity handling, aimed at shooters who want duty-level performance in a slightly more compact format.

Cabot Guns have introduced the double-stack version of their Rebellion 9mm 1911 pistol. Probably the most notable feature of the new Rebellion MAX is that, despite taking double-stack magazines, it has the same dimensions and weight (28 oz unloaded) as its single-stack counterpart, thanks to exclusive use of 7075 aluminum in the grip and frame. In fact, the grip of the Rebellion Max is actually slightly thinner than the grip of the Rebellion.

A new patent from Ruger illustrates an exciting update to the classic 22/45 pistol. It seems that Ruger has developed a double-stack magazine! Let's take a look at the details.

I'm excited to welcome fellow firearms YouTuber Ben Webb, whom I recently met during a trip to the rather impressive new Smith & Wesson facility in Tennessee, which now includes its own range facilities where it can host classes. Today’s guest, Ben, runs the GoldenWebb YouTube channel, which you may or may not have seen recently due to a fairly consistent string of FRT or full auto firearms and suppressor destructive “testing.” You can think of his channel as a blend of firearms experimentation and redneck science. Beyond his entertaining channel, Ben serves as an active duty law enforcement officer and weapons instructor/armorer based in London, Kentucky. While it would be easy to dismiss all of Ben’s videos as just “for fun,” I think Ben actually applies a lot of his LEO experience to his YouTube reviews, where he thoroughly tests and reviews firearms and gear far beyond what most reviewers will. This combination of real-world expertise and engaging reviews has earned him a fairly large audience both on the job and on YouTube. On today’s episode, we’ll talk about his inspirations, his creative process, and the story behind his channel.

This past spring, I was invited to a training facility in Florida for a two-day set of courses. The Faculty was called W.O.F.T. The acronym W.O.F.T. stands for “Where Our Families Train,” it's a facility that provides situational training for all manner of real world situations for people of all backgrounds including the elderly and families. This is Part 2 of a 3-part piece I have written about my time there. I highly recommend reading part 1 before continuing with this article, I explain W.O.F.T’s approach and what the two-day course covers.

Today’s Photo of the Day shows a Czech sniper team advancing toward a new objective during the U.S. Army Europe and Africa European Best Sniper Team Competition. The image was captured in November 2025, at the 7th Army Training Command’s Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany.
