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.

korth mongoose silver 357mag: MSRP $5199

1/26/2021

Winning the Ballistic's Best 2020 in Revolver category helps assure a potential buyer that five large is a justifiable price tag for this sublime wheelgun. This is a solid contender for "if-I-could-only-own-one" and a lifetime handgun in the best possible calibers: 9MM for practice and 357MAG for the field via interchangeable cylinders. At about 3.5 times the cost of the new Colt Python it's not for the feint of heart (or wallet) but my guess is it comes with some world class kudos, unparalleled accuracy and peace-of-mid reliability in a mad, uncertain world. This from the Nighthawk WEBSITE:

The Silver Mongoose from Korth features all the same features as the standard Nighthawk Mongoose, with an upgraded finish. Standard Mongoose models feature a black DLC finish, while the Silver Mongoose is coated with an equally durable silver DLC finish. Silver Mongoose models can only be produced in very limited numbers because of the increased polishing that is required on every surface before the revolver receives the coating. Finally, the Silver Mongoose comes standard with high-grade Turkish Walnut grips that provide a stunning appearance when matched with this unique finish.

Specifications for 6":
  • Finish: Silver DLC Coated
  • Caliber: .357 Magnum, 9mm Cylinder Optional (Clipless)
  • Weight: 2.1 lbs.
  • Barrel Length: 6”
  • Overall Length: 11.5”
  • Width: 1.54”
  • Height: 6.1”
  • Barrel Material: 416R

leupold deltapoint micro. msrp:$399

It's about time a manufacturer came up with a tiny red dot sight and thankfully it's Leupold leading the charge: hopefully more budget friendly makers will quickly follow suit, AND make them for all handgun and longarm applications. But for now, the first two Leupold models released will fit any non-MOS Glock model and Smith & Wesson® M&P models. This from their WEBSITE:

The DeltaPoint Micro™ is a compact, low-profile red dot sight that is fast on target, deadly-accurate, and built Leupold tough. Featuring a revolutionary new design that’s easy to conceal, the DeltaPoint-Micro changes the game when it comes to concealed carry and personal protection.
  • Low profile design. It sits so low on the slide that it replicates the same sight plane that iron-sight shooters are used to, making it more intuitive to use and more easily concealable.
  • Enclosed diode. The diode is inside the housing which protects it from moisture, dirt, and debris.
  • Fast and easy to mount. Mounts directly to the rear dovetail so there is no need to buy aftermarket iron sights or have your slide milled or altered.
  • Easy access battery. No need to re-zero when you replace the battery.
  • Daylight bright 3 MOA dot with adjustable brightness settings.
  • Acts like a ghost ring sight if the battery dies. Put the front-sight in the bottom 1/3 of the window and use the two milled holes on the back to align with the front sight.
  • Lifetime guarantee and legendary Leupold quality.
Lightweight and rugged, the DeltaPoint Micro is 2.25 inches long and 1.25 inches tall, while weighing just 1.1 ounces. It’s a direct replacement for the rear factory iron sight and mounts at the same height, so it’s perfect for anyone transitioning to a red dot sight for the first time. The red dot also aligns with the front sight, making target acquisition fast and intuitive. This design delivers all of the accuracy of a traditional red dot while maintaining a compact profile that’s ideal for conceal carry and personal defense.

Adjustable illumination settings make the DeltaPoint Micro extremely accurate in any conditions. Dim your red dot for nighttime stealth or max it out for daytime visibility. And because the DeltaPoint Micro is supported by Leupold’s Motion Sensor Technology, it will go into sleep mode after five minutes of inactivity, which means a single battery provides 3.5 years of constant runtime on the medium brightness setting. The battery compartment is also easily accessible, so if you do need to replace it, you won’t have to remove the sight to do so. This makes battery changes quick and easy in the field.

If you need a rugged and reliable red dot for a conceal carry pistol but don’t want to deal with the complicated mounting systems that some red dots require, then the DeltaPoint Micro is for you. And like all Leupold riflescopes and red dot sights, it’s designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed for life.

KelTec p50 5.7mm. 50 rnds. msrp: $995

Cool! KelTec is releasing its own - and typically unique - platform for the newly popular 5.7mm round. And true to form they seriously one-up the competition in power to weight ratio. For just under a grand you'll get some formidable firepower in a highly capable caliber and 100 round fun (via two 50 round mags) right out of the box. I'm among the numerous fans of KelTec (since George Kelgren's previous moniker), and considering the demand for their products, doubtless this firearm too will be hard to find at anything like it's MSRP of $995. But well done KelTec, hope they can meet the demand this is sure to garner! This from their WEBSITE:

It doesn’t come with a white Ferrari and salmon blazer, however it does come with some other amazing features including two 50-round magazines. This 5.7 chambered handgun is sure to gather props from your buddies and range rats alike. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the firepower this pistol offers. The P50 platform is based around the FN P90 50-round magazines and this beast comes with two of them. Picatinny-style rails and QD mounts offer plenty of real estate for accessories to meet the needs of the job at hand. The 5.7 cartridge comes in several variants from sporting to hunting to serious personal defense. Protective details around the world utilize its efficiency while sport shooters and hunters love the cartridge for its accuracy and distance capabilities.

heritage mfg barkeep 2" bbl. msrp:$180

Looks okay but why Heritage didn't release it out the gate with a diminutive birdshead grip? Beats me! No doubt that'll come as an iteration down the line (hint, hint Heritage) but meantime I'll call it just 50% concealable: manufacturers have realized for some years that small grip size is a large part of effectively, discretely concealing a weapon on one's person so - not to belabor a point - I'll wait until they figure that out before procuring one. It also concerns me that there's no ejector rod so I'm not sure why they have a loading gate unless the chambers are somehow guaranteed to allow empties to fall unencumbered by pointing the muzzle skyward? However, in my experience, that is not a reliable way to empty a revolver cylinder as casings often swell during firing and therefore need the persuasion of an ejector to nudge them loose. So it seems they want you to remove the pin and roll the cylinder out to reload. Hmmm, not sure much thought went into the practicality of this cutely named Barkeep but maybe they just wanted another configuration for their already saturated lineup of small bore single actions differing mostly only in color, or barrel length. Don't get me wrong, I like Heritage, they're good little shooters and popular as donuts, but with a little innovation and forethought they could be GREAT! This from their WEBSITE:

A pint-sized revolver with an Old West flair! Meet the new Heritage Barkeep. The single-action Barkeep comes chambered and ships with the affordable .22 LR rimfire cylinder. This revolver is also compatible and designed to work with an interchangeable .22 WMR cylinder option. Built for optimal concealability in a light and portable package, the Barkeep boasts fixed open sights for fast action and a clean sight picture. Several grip options deliver classic western styling to compliment the standard black oxide or case-hardened frame finish. With a two-inch barrel configuration, this compact carry revolver checks all the boxes for form and function.
