During a recent trip to Bi-Mart — a Pacific Northwest chain that stocks ammo among a smattering of other things— I spotted something unusual on the ammo shelf. Sitting between boxes of CCI Standard Velocity and Mini-Mags was a 100-round sleeve labeled “CCI .22LR OEM” with a 40-grain bullet. I’d never seen this offering before and was instantly overcome with curiosity. So and I grabbed a sleeve to put through my standard accuracy and velocity tests. Today on The Rmifire Report, we’ll get into what this mysterious “OEM” load might be, how it performs, and what you can expect if you come across this rare CCI .22LR variant. Hint: You probably won’t unless…

@Hoplopfheil  interviews Ben from Shadow Systems at SHOT 2026 on their all-new AXIO pistol – a striker-fired masterpiece engineered from the ground up to dominate 2011s with unmatched control, buttery recoil impulse, and elite shootability. Featuring a steel chassis for perfect balance, Overstroke Slide magic, an Octagon Barrel locking in precision, and triggers from 2.5-4lbs (Pro/base), it's optic-ready with co-witness irons, duty-tough reliability, and no legacy baggage holding it back. The New pistol is supposed to start pricing off at $1999 (AXIO) or $2249 (Pro) with 18th mags. However, will it finally dethrone the 2011? Full breakdown on TFBTV Showtime!

Today at SHOT Show 2026, Luke C ( @BallisticAviation) speaks with Tabor from Ruger about the all-new Harrier rifle line — Ruger’s latest take on the affordable AR-15 platform built for the working man. We cover everything from design philosophy and materials to performance, pricing, and where the Harrier fits in Ruger’s growing lineup of modern sporting rifles. If you’re looking for a reliable, American-made AR that won’t break the bank, the Harrier is definitely worth checking out in 2026.

Today, @Hoplopfheil⁩ is speaking with Camielle from RISE Armament at SHOT Show 2026 to take a look at their new PINLESS "Slide & Snap" Drop-In Triggers. These new triggers use some clever engineering breakthroughs that make installation a breeze without traditional pins, springs, or tools—just drop it in and go. Camielle breaks down the precision-machined housing, bushing-secured components, and match-grade performance perfect for competition, duty, or precision builds.

Hoplopfheil hits SHOT Show 2026 to check out Shadow Systems’ first-ever rifle, the U 526. Known for their Glock-style pistols, Shadow Systems is stepping into the rifle game with a lightweight, duty-ready platform built around precision, modularity, and reliability. Hop talks with Ben from Shadow Systems about the design, features, and what makes the U526 stand out in a crowded AR market, as well as the types of components and features we can expect for the U526 and E526. Starting at $2199 and coming spring 2026.

It’s no small feat designing a new firearm and it's arguably even more complicated recreating one. It has to look right, it has to feel right and you’re working within the confines of expectation. This year at SHOT Show Murdoch & Co. launched one of the most ambitious clone projects I’ve ever seen. Murdoch & Co. describe their EM-85 as an improved, remanufactured semi-auto SA80. The name EM-85, is a nod back to another classic British bullpup rifle, the EM-2.

EOtech’s slate of new releases for 2026 was very full. They had new scopes, IR lasers, silencers, and sights all on display. Let’s take a tour through the new offerings.

The Monday of SHOT Show week is Range Day, when we get to sample new products in a live fire setting. This year, Lyman Products had a new family of suppressors available. The Sonicore series has several models, all at very competitive price points.

Palmetto State Armory’s booth at SHOT Show is always a busy place, thanks in part to the volume of new and interesting guns they have on display each year. 2026 was no exception to that trend. Let’s go through some of the new things in the booth this year.

US Armament Manufacturing had several interesting items on display at SHOT Show 2026. These included DeLisle intergrally-suppressed carbines, Bramit Mosin silencers, and L27 Mauser silencers. If you are a historical silencer lover, this one is for you!

Precision Armament had its new TiTrex suppressors on display at SHOT Show 2026. This lightweight suppressor has a single-piece printed core, but still offers upgrade potential thanks to the Xband serialized component. There are some other interesting design features hidden inside, too.

Bushmaster has a new bolt-action rifle joining its lineup. The BA-30 straight-pull is a .308 based on a large frame AR system. It is also reversible for right or left-handed users.

Kaliber Tech’s unique gas-operated KT10 Longbow was on display at SHOT Show 2026. This gas gun is compatible with hot rod cartridges like the .300 WSM and 6.5 PRC. Keep reading for all the details.

Surefire has some new illumination products on display at SHOT Show 2026. We also got our first look at the SOCOM RC4 suppressor. Let's take a tour through the new stuff.

Holosun has a whole slate of new product releases for 2026. All of these new goodies were on display at their booth at SHOT Show 2026. Let’s take a tour of the new releases.

BUL Armory has made a name for itself in the high-end production 1911 market. This year, they showed off several new products at SHOT Show 2026. Let’s take a look at the details.

PSA’s retro rifle brand Harrington & Richardson had a new crop of old M-16 rifle clones on display at SHOT Show 2026. These new models recreate some very rare guns. Keep reading to see which models are coming back.

PSA is reviving the AAC brand’s MPW line of firearms, with a twist. There will be both homages to the original rifles and some new takes on the idea. Keep reading for all the details.

Active Safety Designs, aka AS Designs, had several new Arc-fire forced reset triggers on display at SHOT Show 2026. The quirks of US gun laws mean that this is not a machine gun conversion, though in practice it seems a lot like one. Let’s check it out.

We’ve all seen break-action shotguns and pump-action shotguns, but have you ever seen a break-action pump shotgun? Me neither, until SHOT Show 2026. Rock Island Armory’s Pak-Out folding 12-gauge may claim the title as the most unique new gun on the show floor this year.

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday, brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new Victra 20-gauge shotgun suppressor. SHOT Show has come to an end, and it is time to debrief from a very busy week. It's a great time to be in the suppressor space with all of the action we are seeing.

Griffin Armament is continuing to invest in manufacturing capabilities and cutting-edge technology. Not only are they now using additive manufacturing to build silencers, but they developed a new alloy that is ideal for that application. Keep reading for all the details.

BOE Suppression, the silencer branch of DuraMag, had the new IncoLite 9 series of silencers on display at SHOT Show 2026. Lightweight and Inconel usually don’t go in the same sentence, but these little cans manage to do both. Let’s take a look at the specs and features.

The world of precision rimfire is wide and wonderful. You can buy a budget-friendly Savage and make the Richie Riches of the scene cry … or you can buy something pricey and enjoy shooting something that’s actually purpose-built for this competition scene, while the poors can only envy you. The new Anschutz 1727 APR definitely fits into that second category, and the Competition variant (pictured here at their SHOT booth) even more-so.

The two newest products from Jacob Grey Firearms, seen at SHOT Show 2026, were the Hex Pro 9mm pistol and the Recoil Reaper hydraulic drop-in buffer for 1911-pattern pistols. The Hex Pro pistol features Armored Billet CNC-machined and DLC-coated internal and external components, including the ambidextrous safety, ejector, disconnector, magazine release, grip screws, hammer, and sear. The patented Recoil Reaper buffer is designed in collaboration with Kyntech and is compatible with double-stack or single-stack Commander-length 1911s.

Catching up with Trijicon at this year’s SHOT Show we were pleased to hear about a couple of cool new products including a slick ACOG/RCR Combo. Alongside the new combo Trijicon have some new Credo line scopes and the VCOG is now available in Flat Dark Earth.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite GI Joes was Rock ‘n Roll, who dual-wielded a set of twin-barrel Gatling guns. Very cool to an 8-year-old, but middle-aged me realized the whole idea was ridiculous—there’s no way someone would could use a Gatling gun as a personal, portable weapon.

At SHOT Show 2026, Armasight introduced the PRO Series of their thermal products. The main upgrade is the new ArmaCore 640 Gen 4 A-SWaP System, a thermal engine powered by a 1.8 GHz Quad-Core GPU and an integrated AI Neural Processing Unit that, along with a 60Hz frame rate provide a smooth image on the Full HD display.

At this year’s SHOT Show we had the chance to put a few rounds through Florida-based FightLite’s all new DFX, or Dual-Feed Conversion. FightLite talked us through the new guns and explained some of their features. The DFX is an upper receiver group which can be paired with any MIL-Spec AR-15/M16/M4 lower receiver. Like other FightLite firearms the DFX uses M27 linked ammunition belts (or AR-15/Stanag magazines). Unlike other FightLite weapons, however, the DFX doesn’t have a quick-change barrel which FightLite says aims to make the DFX simpler, cheaper and more streamlined for the customer.
