SHOT Show 2026

Stenzel Industries SAK-21 was released a couple of months ago, and for me, as an AK aficionado, this was one of the top firearms I wanted to see and shoot at the SHOT Show 2026 because it looks like a very interesting evolution of the AK platform that borrows the best mechanical solutions from the Kalashnikov and combines them with modern design elements. At the same time, this is not just a modern-looking chassis with AK guts. While SAK stands for the Stenzel American Kalashnikov, the only interchangeable parts with the AK are the magazine and the pistol grip.

Founded in 1526, Beretta turns 500 years old in 2026! This year's Beretta Range Day, held at the Pro Gun Vegas range in Boulder City, Nevada, was focused on celebrating their quincentenary. We had the honor of being invited to attend the event, and it was a truly amazing experience, as we had the chance to shoot the newest Beretta firearms, ranging from rimfire handguns to high-end shotguns. In this article, we'll take a look at the new Beretta AX800 Suprema 12 gauge semi-auto waterfowl shotgun.

Ambient Arms had a range of new silencers on display at SHOT Show 2026. These suppressors incorporate an interesting air cooling system that fights heat buildup. Keep reading for all the details.

John Moses Browning may have laid the foundation for the classic 1911 more than 120 years ago (starting with the Model 1905!), but his big-bore design continues to live on with modern improvements. For evidence, look no further than the new Kimber 1911 DS Warrior, with the latest ergonomic improvements packed in with high-capacity shooting power.

After moving its entire production line to Wisconsin, Henry Repeating Arms is now overhauling its lineup with small changes, and big ones too. George Thompson, the company’s Director of Products, says they’ll be adding new rifles to the lineup in coming months in updated configurations (new chamberings, new finishes). But we also see the classics remaining in Henry’s catalog—with some updates to those models, too, starting with new names.

The Alpha Foxtrot Romulus already made waves as a budget-friendly version of the modernized 1911 platform. Now it’s available in .45 ACP, just as John Moses Browning would have intended, as well as the ever-increasing-in-popularity 10mm.

This year, Beretta celebrates its 500th anniversary. That's a big deal. What better way to commemorate this than with a new .22 pistol! In all seriousness, Beretta has a raft of exciting new products dropping during its 500th year, and the B22 Jaguar is a promising surprise entry.
