EOTech has now produced over 1 million holographic sights, and more than half of those are in public circulation.

New for 2014, the EOTech Laser Battery Cap for 512-552 Sights is a drop-in upgrade that fits EOTech’s most common sights on the market—their 512 and 552 holographic sights.

The new battery caps simply replace your existing AA battery housing with a new assembly that includes a red laser and/or infrared (IR) laser.

Available during mid-summer, the laser battery caps will come in four variations: Red laser only, red laser with IR laser, the entire 512 sight with red laser, and the entire night-vision compatible 552 sight with both red and IR lasers. The laser battery caps start at $285.

Now that suppressors are legal for hunting in several states, many folks are getting stealthy with their small game hunting.

Brand new CCI Suppressor 22LR ammo is loaded to cycle reliably while maintaining subsonic ballistics and 70- to 75-percent noise reduction, compared to standard velocity ammo.

CCI Suppressor rimfire ammo is very similar to CCI Quiet ammo, except the Suppressor ammo is loaded with a hunting bullet, while CCI Quiet is intended for target shooting.

CCI’s new Suppressor 22LR ammo is on the market now for about $3 per 50-round box.

The new Daniel Defense MK12 is being touted by many as a special ops’ dream rifle.

Daniel Defense designed this rifle with traditional SOCOM MK12 configurations, such as a stainless steel barrel and rifle length gas system. The 18-inch barrel is cold hammer-forged, and Daniel Defense also forges its chamber at the same time as the barrel, rather than cutting the chamber later. The A4-style upper also features a DDM4 12.0 quad free-floating rail with Quick Detatch (QD) points, and a BCM Gunfighter charging handle.

The MK12′s forged lower receiver uses a flared magazine well and Daniel Defense’s new rubber overmolded pistol grip with flared trigger guard. It also comes standard with a Geissele SSA 2-stage trigger, and an adj

New for 2014, the SIG Sauer 556xi rifle was designed to serve the growing demand for completely modular weapon platforms.

SIG Sauer’s new rifle runs on a 3-position adjustable piston-driven system, allowing operators to tune the action for optimal function with suppressors, or during extended shooting sessions.

The 556xi is friendly to left- and right-handed shooters, with ambidextrous controls and a reciprocating side-charging handle that attaches to either side of the rifle in seconds.

SIG’s new rifle platform can also adapt to fit many shooting applications. Quickly convert between 5.56x45mm, 300 Blackout and 7.62x39mm by swapping out a few parts on the same serialized receiver.

Available in the first quarter of 2014, the SIG Sauer 556xi rifle comes to market at $1500 to $1,

New for 2014, Bravo Company (BCM) USA and Gunfighter Industries are introducing a revolutionary new handguard system for the AR-15 platform. Weighing just 5-ounces, the 13-inch BCM KeyMod Rail System (KMR) is quite possibly the lightest and most versatile handguard on the market.

The KMR utilizes KeyMod rail attachment points, which have become a standardized rail mounting option across the firearm industry. KeyMod rails were originally designed to work in tandem with standard Picatinny rails to give operators the ability to quickly mount accessories at several positions on the handguard.

Bravo Company’s KMR is constructed of an aluminum and magnesium alloy, weighing 7-ounces when installed with mounting hardware.

The KMR system will be initially available on BCM complete u

The Leupold Deltapoint 2 reflex sight was developed as a lighter and faster version of their original Deltapoint.

Compared to the original, the Deltapoint 2 offers a 50-percent increase in battery life, allowing the sight to run for up to 6 months without changing batteries. When the time comes to change batteries, the battery access compartment is located on top of the sight, so the entire unit it doesn’t need to be removed from the gun.

The Deltapoint 2 also includes a manual power switch, and the ability to adjust reticle brightness manually or automatically with a built-in ambient light sensor.

Available in two variations based on mounting requirements, the Deltapoint 2 comes to market in mid-2014 at a price of $400 to $450.

The new SIG Sauer P320 represents the latest in striker-fired pistol technology.

Developed primarily with the duty purposes in mind, the P320 was designed as a service pistol to fit three major needs of law enforcement:

1. Must fit the hands of many different operators.
2. Trigger with a short pull and reset.
3. Ability to disassemble without tools or manipulating the trigger.

Brand new for 2014, the Kimber Advanced Tactical SOC (Special Operations Capable) rifle combines the long-range accuracy with the tactical features we’ve come to expect from a distance rifle.

The Advanced Tactical SOC is available in both .308 Win. and .300 Win. Mag. chamberings, and feeds from a 5-round magazine (included), or an accessory 10-round magazine.

To achieve optimal performance, the Kimber Advanced Tactical SOC’s barrel and chamber is machined to match grade dimensions, while a Surefire muzzle brake enables the quick attachment of suppressors.

One of the most appealing features of the new Kimber rifle is the free-floating Keymod rail system for attachment of accessories at several positions. The rifle also features a proprietary a

There is great news in store for all of you AK fans out there. Arsenal Inc. has just informed us that their factory-manufactured Bulgarian 5.45×39.5mm rifle with a side-folding stock is now available to the U.S. market.

The new-to-us SLR-104FR has been one of the most sought-after AK variants for U.S. collectors, as there have been only three prototypes circulating the country — until now. This Bulgarian factory-made rifle is constructed using only premium-grade parts and assembled using the strict quality and technical guidelines that Arsenal has become known for.

The SLR-104FR features a Mil-Spec stamped receiver and a hammer-forged and chrome-lined barrel, and it comes complete with a left-side folding polymer stock. One of the obvious highlights is the folding polymer stock, which is manufactured to the true specs of the original design and is made of Mil-Spec reinforced polymer. The buttstock uses a standard 4.5mm pin and is interchangeable with other standard side-folding stocks with the same-diameter pinholes, should the user want to swap it out.

The side-mounted scope rail is designed to work with Arsenal’s own SM-13 scope mount.

With the 2014 Shooting, Hunting & Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show starting Jan. 14, we’re just 4 days away from seeing some of the latest innovations in new guns, ammo and gear.

Here’s an overview of the new products we expect to see revealed at the 2014 SHOT Show:

The man who started it all was born in Canada on January 1, 1888, and emigrated to Denisonville, CT, while just 10 years old. A decade later young John was working for Browne & Sharpe, a tool and gauge maker, and at 26 he relocated to Providence, RI, to take a job with the Federal Screw Corp.

When Garand moved to New York City, he found an interest in the development of small arms. His first project caught the attention of the U.S. Navy Bureau of Invention, who pressed him to relocate to the National Bureau of Standards to further his development of a mechanism that would solve common problems often a

New for 2014, the Hornady RAPiD Safe represents the future of personal firearm storage.

The safe weighs almost 16 pounds and is constructed of 16-gauge steel with a .25-inch steel dual locking lug system. It can also be secured to an immobile object with a 1,500-pound rated cable.

Hands-free access to the safe is possible with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device—three of which are included in the form of a keycard, bracelet and key fob. The RAPiD Safe pops open by quickly swiping one of the RFID devices.

In addition to hands-free access, the safe will also open with a personally-programmed keypad code or with a traditional lock and key.

Powered by standard 100-volt AC power or a battery backup, the safe’s electronics will operate either at home or on the go.

Interior storage space of 11 x 8 x 3-inches fits handguns with barrels up to 6-inches in length. It also includes a padded pistol compartment that flips up upon opening.

The Hornady RAPiD Safe is available now for $276. For more information, check out the following photos and a segment of Guns & Ammo TV.

Lancer Systems, manufacturer of popular AR-15 rifles and accessories, will be releasing a new magazine for the AR-10 rifle platform.

The Lancer L7AWM—or L7 for short—is a lightweight, polymer 7.62x51mm (.308 Win.) magazine using a dual-steel design, which includes steel feed lips to maximize rigidity and reliability.

The magazine was designed to function in various weapon platforms, such as the SR-25, SIG 716, DPMS 308, LM 308 and several other rifles using the SR-25 magazine pattern.

Similar to Lancer’s 5.56x45mm A5 magazines, the .30-caliber L7 also comes in a variety of color options to fit each rifle’s looks and objectives. The new L7 mags will come in 5-,

It appears NBA star Lebron James and his wife Savannah recently participated in one of our favorite hobbies—shooting machine guns.

They fired an H&K MP5 Sub machine gun, as well as a M249 SAW belt-fed machine gun. The guns were rented and fired at Lock & Load Miami, a state-of-the-art, 14,000-square-foot indoor range in Miami, Fla.

Starting Jan. 6, 2014, Sportsman Channel’s daily news talk-show, NRANEWS Cam & Company, is moving its on-air time to 6 p.m. ET.

Hosted by Cam Edwards, and airing from the NRANEWS Studios in Washington, D.C., NRANEWS Cam & Company is the first and only news-talk series on television that can authoritatively address the issues that are vital to America’s more than 80 million sportsmen and sportswomen.

So here’s the deal; the Glock 41 is a longslide .45, and the new Glock 42 is a .380. Let’s consider them one at a time.

GLOCK 41
For those of you who have been pleading for a Glock .45 to take on the longslide Model 1911s, your day has come. The Glock 41 Gen4 is actually a brand-new model chambered in .45 ACP. It’s built with a G34 slide width on a G21 Gen4 frame, saving 1.5 ounces over a standard G21 Gen4. It all boils down to a new Practical/Tactical model in .45, much like the Glock Model 34 and 35 (9mm and .40 S&W respectively). All of the benefits of the legacy Practical/Tactical models will carry over to the new G41, such as extended factory controls, maximized sight radius, improved weight distribution and a refined balance.

The new Benelli ETHOS shotgun combines traditional Benelli craftsmanship with a whole lineup of new advanced features.

Initially available in a 12-gauge, 3-inch magnum version, the semi-auto ETHOS will be available with a matte-black or nickel-plated engraved receiver. The receiver also includes a large ejection port, and houses a new mechanical rotating bolt mechanism that enables reliable cycling and automatic return to battery.

It’s progressive-control recoil system has been in long-term development with Benelli, which uses plastic inserts embedded in the stock that overlap each other to self-adjust for loads of varying size and weight. The stock also includes a padded buttplate and cheek piece for additional recoil reduction and comfort.

The carbon fiber rib atop the ETHOS’ barrel decreases weight, while also dissipating heat. Optional ribs come in various sizes to fit shooters of varying sizes and shooting objectives. An interchangeable fiber optic front bead comes with three different-colored replacement rods.

The new Benelli ETHOS is available in matte-black finish for $1,999, and engraved nickel-plated for $2199.
