[SHOT 2026] New Diamondback SDR-A Aluminum Frame .38 Special Revolver
Diamondback Firearms expanded their SDR revolver lineup at SHOT Show 2026 with the new SDR-A, an aluminum-framed variant of their steel-framed defensive revolver introduced two years ago. The SDR-A sheds considerable weight by switching to a forged 7075-T6 aluminum frame while keeping the stainless steel barrel and cylinder. At launch, the gun is only available in one configuration: shrouded hammer with a matte glass bead finish.
[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 2026] The Watercooled Belt-Fed is Back Thanks to KAK Industry
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!
[SHOT 2026] New Zenith Firearms ZF-9 and ZF-10 MRDS PDW Pistols
Zenith Firearms took their MRDS platform (Modern Roller Delayed System) that debuted at SHOT Show 2024 and shrunk it down for SHOT Show 2026. The company launched PDW variants in both 9mm and 10mm chamberings, giving roller-delayed fans a compact option that ditches the buffer tube entirely. These aren't carbines, they're legitimate PDW-sized packages built around Zenith's proprietary roller-delayed blowback system.

[SHOT 2026] Kimber Moves Forward With New 1911 DS Warrior

The 2026 Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show, better known as SHOT Show 2026, is just around the corner and we thought our readers would enjoy learning about some interesting facts and figures about the industry’s largest exhibition that were published by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the organisation that owns and sponsors the SHOT Show.
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.
POTD: Rare First-Generation Glock 17L at Collectors Elite Auctions
Today’s Photo of the Day highlights a standout item from Collectors Elite Auctions’ December offering. A true first-generation Glock 17L, probably one of the most sought-after early pistols in the Glock lineage. The auction house’s monthly lineup focuses on scarce, investment-grade firearms, and this 17L should represent exactly the kind of transitional, low-production piece that attracts serious collectors.
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.
