Del-Ton’s Compact DT20 9mm Pistol Has High Capacity and a Unique Design
Del-Ton has been around in the AR world for a good number of years, first as a parts supplier and later as a manufacturer of complete rifles. It’s always been AR-related products though, so imagine my surprise when I popped in at SHOT to see what kind of retro carry handle goodness they were offering […]
SHOT Show 2024: The Lionheart Vulcan 9 Pistol is Finally Almost Here
I like everything about the Lionheart Vulcan…except for the fact that I’ve never shot one. I’ve kept an eye on the Vulcan’s development since it was announced at SHOT 2023. The good news: it’s almost here. For real. Lionheart will be shipping the first Vulcan 9 pistols in mid-February. If you’re unfamiliar with the Vulcan, […]

New Company, New Pistol: Rost Martin Launches the RM1C 9mm at SHOT Show
Walking through the downstairs food court at SHOT Show, my Korean chicken bowl and I did something of a double take at the large, impressive Rost Martin booth. I stood there for a hot second staring at it, racking my brain for any recognition of the brand. It’s possible that an established, successful firearm company […]
OSD Verdict: 2024 Proved the SHOT Show is Very Much Alive and Well
The first SHOT after COVID was in 2022, and at the time there was a real question about whether trade shows were dead. That’s no longer an open question — the show was vibrant this year. Huge and tiring, yes. And like at any show there are some crufty companies. But the level of innovation […]

SHOT Show: WEE1 Tactical Will Soon Release a Mini AK-47 in 22 LR

We got a kick out of that, but also appreciated the lightweight, youth-sized firearm that’s […]
SHOT Show 2024: The Carry Handle Comeback
What’s old is new again at SHOT this year and it isn’t just lever guns. Classic carry handle AR uppers are back with a vengeance, too. Some were brought back by companies that used to make them, and some were brand new. While Brownell’s sparked a retro rush a few years back (and still supports […]
SHOT Show 2024: The Year Thompson Met Stoner
Every year, SHOT Show seems to have a theme, more or less. A type of gun, caliber, or something that ties together multiple new product releases from a range of companies. A few years ago, it was the year of the Hi-Power. Before that, it was the year of 5.7x28mm. This year, the major theme […]
