NEW FIREARMS & ACCESSORIES

We make every attempt to only preview new products when they are actually available on the market. This spares consumers from wasting time trying to locate an item to buy when it hasn't yet left the prototype phase. Please note that during SHOT Show (January of each year) manufacturers often announce new items that are several months from stores: we still announce these despite not being immediately available for purchase.

all hail the king!

The sleeping giant. Let's awake Thor's hammer and buy/shoot American.
Chevrolet, apple pie and the 45ACP are as American as it gets. Forget all those puny Euro calibers, if you’re gonna hit the gong, hit it with the hammer of Thor. On the other end of the spectrum, as they say, “22LR was made for practice and squirrel stew, but if push comes to shove, a triple tap will do.” Some of us old schoolers are of the thinking that anything in between a 22LR and a 45ACP in the hands of a red blooded American is sacrilegious, but if the newbies (with their penchant for plastic pistols and iPhones) have their way, 45ACP will soon go the way of the passenger pigeon. Some of us grumpy old men still believe in the good old days and loyalty to the icons of our great nation, all this liberalness is well and good but diluted fealty is the death knell for national pride. Patriots beware, and support our 45ACP. This coming week we’ll profile 5 good old (or young) American gunmakers who are loyal to the 1911 and/or the 45ACP baseball-of-a-round in the manufacturing choices they make. Prepare to be converted.

    the afd blog

    Previews and reviews on newly available items are written-up by our team as quickly as we can find them. Please let us know if we've missed something debuting on the market. As a firearm enthusiast or an AFD listed company you are welcome to submit a blog entry about a new product. You may also submit a firearm related commentary, idea or nostalgic musing: we like things celebratory of American ingenuity and manufacturing. All entries are subject to editing and/or fact-checking.
