I happened to pass the Sphinx booth at SHOT. I may not have even stopped, but apparently Sphinx is owned by the same company that owns KRISS, and who doesn’t love a KRISS, right?! So as I’m walking through I realized that there are several really good looking [Read More…]
One of the new rifles unveiled this week was the Smith & Wesson M&P-10. Their website currently only lists a camouflage version with a Magpul stock and five round magazine for an MSRP $1,729.00. My guess is the rifle shown here is going to be a bit less. Note [Read More…]

Magpul is showing off a very nice MOE AK Grip at SHOT Show, but don’t think they are ignoring their core AR market. They are offering two new grips for AR-15s and AR-10s. The first new AR style grip is the MOE-K2, a shorter grip with a reduced angle, similar to [Read More…]
One of the fun things about SHOT Show is that it’s not just for the big dogs, but also for the small/medium size companies. There are plenty of high quality companies if you keep your ear to the ground and ask around. If you considering an AR-15 (like the [Read More…]
Not sure if it’s a recurring theme yet, but there have been a few companies at SHOT here talking about their single-shot break-action rifles. There’s nothing super new for AAC, but they talked to me about their “Handi-Rifle” which comes in 300 [Read More…]

Displayed prominently at the TAPCO booth, the Red Laminate Romanian AK-47 Stock Set by TimberSmith. Definitely an eye-catcher. This premium set takes the already-popular sets (available in gray, black, or brown) and adds a thick buttpad to absorb recoil and lightning [Read More…]
