[SHOT 2026] Beretta Introduces the A300 Ultima Patrol in 20ga!

That’s right you read the title correctly, 20 gauge, and its 25% lighter than its 12 gauge counterpart. The 20ga A300 Ultima Patrol weighs in 6lbs, 2 whole pounds lighter than the 12ga model. The new A300 definitely felt handy and we had the chance to put quite a few rounds downrange during Beretta’s Range Day. Making rapid transitions between plates around 6 feet apart was a breeze.

[SHOT 2026] The American Kalashnikov - Stenzel Industries SAK-21

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.

SHOT Show is full of hidden gems. You just have to know where to look. The basement level is often described as the best place to find unusual new products but occasionally the Supplier Showcase up in the heavens of level 5 holds some treasures. This was true in the case of KAK Industy's new LIMA - 1917 Complete Water Cooled belt-fed! KAK had teased the new water-cooled kit on social media in the weeks leading up to SHOT so we knew we had to pay them a visit!

TFB Review: Aimpoint Duty RDS-MR - The Evolved Duty Red Dot

Aimpoint has long been the gold standard for rugged, reliable red dot sights, and the original Duty RDS brought that legendary Swedish quality to a more accessible price point. As there are only so many things you can do with a red dot, I decided to make this review a bit more diverse. So I threw it into a lake for a day to see if the fish would eat it. I also mounted it with a 3x magnifier and used it with a Pulsar Krypton 2 thermal clip-on for some night-action. Let’s see how it performed.

Fudd Friday: Savage Revel Classic Review

I was pretty excited to see the Savage Revel when it debuted in late 2024 for two reasons. First, there’s nothing more Fudd-coded than a lever-action rifle, despite the current space cowboy creations that are taking the design into the 21st century. Second, I’d seen design drawings of this rifle a long time ago and after it hadn’t been released to market for years, I thought I’d never get my hands on one.
