SIG Sauer has two new models of rifle scopes intended for DMR use. The Tango-DMR series comes in at a price point below the Tango 6 line but above the Tango-MSR family. Let’s take a closer look at the features. 

The Springfield Armory Hellion is the cream of the crop when it comes to bullpup rifles centered around the 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem cartridges. You can use common Magpul PMAGs, it’s ambi everything, and it boasts looks that could kill. Now, that curb appeal is getting kicked up even higher with color options of Desert FDE (Flat Dark Earth), OD Green (Olive Drab Green), and Gray.

Firearms like Caracal’s CAR816 A2, the CAR814 A2 Patrol and MOE rifles are soon to be found under KROLL International’s umbrella. Furthermore, you will also be able to find the Enhanced F 9mm pistol, the CMP9 9x19mm and the Lynx-DS pistols. Caracal’s new CSR sniper rifle is also included in the new strategic partnership signed between Caracal and KROLL International.

Partizan Solutions is expanding its line of micro red dot mounts for the Trijicon ACOG family. The newest models are compatible with LED ACOGs like the TA-02 and TA-110. Let’s take a closer look.

Our friends at Silencer Central sent over the details on H.R. 6352, the Tax Stamp Revenue Transfer for Wildlife and Recreation Act. This proposed bill would redirect National Firearms Act (NFA) making and transfer taxes from being deposited into the general treasury fund to wildlife conservation programs and NFA application processing enhancements. As the NFA tax collection stands, proceeds are not used for any specific purpose and are instead deposited into the treasury.

Palmetto State Armory continues to add to its Sabre line with the new Sabre-10A1. This new model echoes some of the styling of the new M-110A1 but keeps it in the price bracket that PSA is known for. Let’s dig into some specs.

The 350 Legend since its introduction a few years ago has been popular amongst hunters for its mild push of a recoil, effectiveness on game, and more open acceptance in “restrictive states” being it is a straight-wall cartridge. Well, “bigger is better,” right? So, Savage Arms has jumped on board with the 400 Legend cartridge and they are shipping out 14 unique rifles chambered in this new cartridge.

Now, Federal Premium is once again announced another selection with Power-Shok 1 Buck providing that same type of versatility.

Hornady’s 2023 releases continue with a new line of ammunition loaded with a new projectile. The new V-Match (no relation to the old school Bushmaster rifle) ammunition is match-grade but also optimized for varminting, thanks to the ELD-VT bullet. Let’s take a closer look. 

Once a niche cartridge only supported by one company, the 5.7×28 is becoming mainstream. Hornady is the latest contender to join the fray with two new ammunition choices. Let’s take a look at what they bring to the table. 

Hornady has a new .22-caliber Advanced Rifle Cartridge, the aptly-named 22 ARC. It joins the 6mm ARC in Hornady’s family of specialized cartridges for the AR platform. Right out of the gate, Hornady has three different factory loads available.

HEVI-Shot Ammunition has been on a run lately introducing and announcing a bevy of new shotgun shells for hunters this fall. Everything for turkey, upland birds, and waterfowl. Their newest introduction comes via their HEVI-Metal Xtreme line with a 12 Gauge #2 and BB shot dual-payload. With a 1 1/4 ounce payload in a 3″ shell, this offering is movin’ at 1,450 FPS (feet per second) and brings HEVI-Shot’s HEVI-Metal Xtreme line to a total of five options: three 12 Gauge and two 20 Gauge.

If you are of the concealed carry crowd, you know how important it is to have a lot of options in the way of holsters. I, personally, only have 2 – 3 handguns in rotation for concealed carry (depending on the day’s tasks and my outfit) yet I probably have 30+ holsters. So, that is why it is always good news to hear manufacturers coming out with more and more fits for common, popular handguns. One of the newest offerings to hit the CCW market are additional fits for the Blackhawk Stache line of Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) holsters which can now accommodate the Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro and SIG Sauer P365 X-Macro.

Federal Premium Ammunition has a legacy of securing ammunition contracts for factions of the military and law enforcement groups across the globe, and they have further cemented that reputation by obtaining their latest Duty Ammo Contract with the Department of Homeland Security and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for .223 Rem ammunition.

SIG Sauer has been upping their game with the P365 by creating a multitude of variants for shooters and CCW lovers to pick from. Whether you want the original, plain-Jane model or a jazzed up version like the P365 X-Macro, SIG has options. To compliment this bevy of pistols, Galco has expanded their portfolio of holster options as well. Now, you can get the  Galco Scout 3.0 Strongside/Crossdraw IWB holster for your SIG Sauer P365 whether it has a micro red dot mounted on top of it or not.

New Colt Pythons are officially out in the wild as Colt has created 3 new offerings by adding in Hogue grips along with a bead blast stainless finish. The common barrel lengths of 3″, 4.25″, and 6″ are still available in these new Python offerings with a more comfortable choice of a rubber grip as opposed to their walnut grips.

Savage just introduced a new model of the famed 110-series bolt action. The new  Trail Hunter features a Hogue Overmolded stock and a threaded medium contour barrel. Let’s see what other features it brings to the table. 

For people who truly nerd out at the range making handloads and chronicling data via a chronograph, we have exciting news by the way of Garmin with their latest product announcement. The new Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph couples modern technologies and is impressive in what it can accomplish for you. Even registering suppressed fire and odd muzzle devices for an assortment of firearms.

HEVI-Shot Ammunition has announced that they have new offerings of their HEVI-Bismuth Upland game loads available for hunters this fall. Now, the same HEVI-Bismuth pellets that we have come to know – that are 22% more dense than steel – are available in even more offerings to bag grouse, pheasant, woodcock, and all types of upland birds this upcoming season.

Smith & Wesson already has a pistol caliber carbine (PCC) on the market in their FPC (Folding Pistol Carbine), but it lacked something… something that we as the gun community childishly ask for in everything: “Does it take Glock mags?!” Well, consider your prayer answered because the new Smith & Wesson Response 9mm Carbine takes Glock magazines as well as standard doublestack M&P mags.

Introduced in the late 90s, the Steyr Scout bolt action rifle was designed in collaboration with Colonel Jeff Cooper and arguably represents the best execution of Col Cooper’s scout rifle concept. A quarter a century later, this rifle is not only alive but is evolving as Steyr Arms have just released the Steyr Scout II. The new rifle retains all the scout rifle criteria specified by Col Cooper but has a couple of design changes, most notably a new aluminum chassis/receiver with an integrated bedding block, full-length top Picatinny rail and M-LOK slots.

Franklin Armory is now shipping their G-S173 Glock binary trigger and slide system. It converts a Gen 3 Glock 17 to fire on the pull and release of the trigger. Let’s take a closer look.
