The European American Armory (EAA) Witness2311 combines three trends currently on the rise. The first is of a double-stack M1911 with a hybrid frame, the second is the seemingly metamorphic rise of a cartridge that is now more than 40 years old—the 10 mm Auto—and the third, what really sets the gun apart, is affordability. The pistol is built to EAA's specifications by Girsan in Giresun, Turkey. Read More

To the American GI of World War II, it was usually a case of love at first sight when he was introduced to the trim little M1 carbine, and especially so if his shoulder ached from lugging a 10-lb. M1 rifle over hill and dale. Often called the "baby Garand" by the troops, the Winchester-designed M1 carbine with its variations was produced in greater quantities than any other U.S. military small arm. In the hands of American and Allied soldiers, it added punch to the all-out offensive against the Axis powers. Read More

The Taurus company is known for its affordable double-action revolvers and semi-automatic handguns. Single-action, traditionally styled revolvers also have a small place in Taurus' history. The company offered its first single-action with the Gaucho in 2005, though the model was discontinued two years later. New for 2024, Taurus is bringing back a centerfire, single-action revolver with the Deputy, a handgun that combines traditional aesthetics and features with modern safety features. Read More

Springfield Armory debuted its bolt-action design in 2020 with its Waypoint-series rifle, a classic turn-bolt with modern features for the modern shooter. It featured carbon fiber throughout, and it even earned an NRA Golden Bullseye Award. Since Waypoint's introduction, Springfield Armory has worked tirelessly to expand its offerings. We've seen line extensions of the 2020 footprint ever since, like the 2020 Redline made to better serve big-game and predator hunters with its compact and lightweight configuration. Now the Model 2020 platform has expanded to include rimfires. Watch our video above to see this classically styled bolt-action rimfire in use on the range.

Today's polymer-frame pistol fans are looking for 9 mm compacts sporting optics-ready slides, and so .40 S&W duty-size pistols with iron sights only are out of fashion. And if what I saw at this year's SHOT Show is a fair indicator, external and incorporated compensators are coming into fashion for 9 mm pistols in order to mitigate recoil for even more precise follow-up shots.

Built around the use of two specific enclosed-emitter micro red-dots (the Aimpoint ACRO and the Steiner MPS) with two specific Beretta shotgun models (the 1301 Tactical and the A300 Ultima Patrol), Reptilia's shotgun Saddle mount bolts directly atop the receiver to provide a much-lower-profile sighting solution than is possible with a Picatinny rail.

Any mechanical object eventually requires some form of repair or refurbishment, and few objects are subjected to as much use and abuse as military rifles. Whether mishandled by careless recruits or subjected to hard use without cleaning or maintenance on the battlefield, virtually all military rifles require varying degrees of repair and maintenance during their tenure of service.

When most people think of roller-delayed blowback firearms of the Heckler & Koch pattern, the 7.62 NATO and 9 mm Luger cartridges are what come to mind. The 5.56 NATO cartridge also has a long history with the roller-delayed system. New for 2024, PTR Industries, a company known for its American-made roller-delayed firearms, is revisiting the 5.56 NATO cartridge with the PTR 63. Read More

Shooting moving targets is both an art and a science with many interlocking and interrelated parts. Gun fit, foot position, gun mount, swing and all the other factors enter the equation, and most take practice to master. Read More
