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, […]
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 […]
SHOT Show: The MaulAR Lever Gun From Bear Creek Arsenal
Bear Creek Arsenal is known for their budget AR-15s, AR-10s, AR9s, and basically a budget everything in the Armalite rifle world.

Kahr Arms dropped their first double stack magazine pistol at SHOT Show 2024 and they did a lot more than just widen the grip frame to accommodate a double stack magazine. The new X9 builds on the previous proven Kahr designs and adds quite a few updates and improvement. The biggest thing is the […]
Latest Harrington and Richardson ARs Go Retro and Weird
The company once known as H&R, was purchased by Palmetto State Armory out of the Remington bankruptcy and is manned by some of the crew of Nodak Spud.
