The frequent argument between 9 mm Luger and .40 S&W is often ended with the interjection of “.45 ACP.” And while that would seem to end the discussion for some, the most typical counterargument is, “Well, what about capacity?” Seeking the final word on the discussion, Armscor developed the Rock …

Here at American Rifleman, as the lone lefty presently on staff, all assignments to cover new left-handed guns inevitably end up on my desk, which is perfectly fine with me, as I am a proud advocate for the southpaw minority, and any new firearm options for me and my kind are always …

Conventional” is a word that is rarely applied to the work of George Kellgren. The prolific engineer and designer, who was the 2019 winner of American Rifleman’s Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award, has repeatedly exhibited outside-the-box thinking with his creations, from the Grendel P10 handgun to the current Kel-Tec lineup of bullpup rifles and shotguns.

Such is the case with SIG Sauer’s wildly successful Tread series, which debuted in 2018. And while 5.56 NATO-chambered AR-15-type firearms have the broadest appeal, there’s a segment …

A relatively new Austrian upstart seems to be taking all the glory lately, but when it comes to self-loading pistols, FN has been at it the longest, starting with the Browning-design Model 1899. Their focus initially was on military customers, but they’re increasingly offering designs for the everyday gun owner. FN’s …

When introducing the Model 12 (actually named the 1912 for the year it was released) marketers for the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. dubbed the do-all, slide-action shotgun “The Perfect Repeater.” At the time, it was. It borrowed mechanical design traits from the godfather of all repeating shotguns—Winchester’s John Browning-designed Model 1897—but improved on it …
