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.

New for 2019, this from their website:

THE ULTRA-RELIABLE RIMFIRE THAT PURRS LIKE A KITTEN. A NEW LEVEL OF INNOVATION.

You have not seen, nor held, nor shot anything like the new Wildcat™. Winchester Repeating Arms® has been building rimfires for more than a century, but this year we’ve got an all-new rifle that’s taking the rimfire autoloader to a whole new level of value and performance. Actually, a whole new level of everything. Meet the Wildcat™. LIGHT, RUGGED, ACCURATE AND ULTRA-RELIABLE, the Wildcat is going to be the rimfire rifle you reach for whenever you want to hunt small game, teach someone to shoot or spend the afternoon rolling some tin cans around the range. Get your hands on the new Wildcat and you’ll never let go.

The LOWER RECEIVER ASSEMBLY of the Wildcat™ is easily removed from the upper assembly by pushing a single button located at the rear of the upper assembly with your finger. No tools are required. The MANUAL SAFETY BUTTON is easily reversible so it’s perfect for both right- and left-handed shooters.

A PAIR OF ALLEN WRENCHES, one for adjusting the rear sight and the other for removing the stock are stored in the lower receiver assembly for easy access.

The SLIDE LOCK BUTTON on the front of the trigger guard allows you to manually lock the action open for added safety during storage or transporting.

The FULLY-ADJUSTABLE GHOST RING REAR SIGHT and RAMPED POST FRONT SIGHT are easy to see under varying light conditions.

The Wildcat™ has a PRECISION BUTTON-RIFLED CHROMOLY STEEL BARREL with a recessed target-style crown for greater accuracy.

You can release the bolt using the BOLT RELEASE BUTTON located on the left side of the upper assembly, or by pulling back on the cocking handle with a loaded magazine in place.

The Wildcat™ uses a STRIKER-FIRED DESIGN (much like a centerfire bolt-action rifle) that provides faster lock time and a lighter trigger pull than traditional hammer-fired rimfire designs. The hemispheric firing pin tip focuses its striking energy more efficiently, creating a deeper rim indent that gives more reliable ignition with all types of 22 LR ammo.

The MAGAZINE ejects right into your hand. The magazine release is fully ambidextrous by using the side-mounted rails or the release tab just forward of the magazine.

The ROTARY MAGAZINE has metal feed lips that offer longer life and more reliable feeding. The magazine activates the bolt stop system to lock the bolt open after the last shot for safety and convenience. One 10-round magazine is included. Additional magazines are also available from your Winchester Repeating Arms® retailer.

SPEED LOAD/UNLOAD lets you manually relieve spring pressure on the magazine follower. Each cartridge effortlessly slips in and out during loading and unloading.

The Wildcat™ also accepts a wide range of aftermarket magazines that are compatible with the 10/22®.

FRONT AND REAR SLING EYELETS are molded right into the stock.

The UPPER ASSEMBLY has an INTEGRAL PICATINNY TOP RAIL so you can easily add your choice of optics or electronic sights.

A PICATINNY RAIL SECTION on the underside of the forearm tip lets you attach an optional bipod, sling mount, light or other accessory. The included rail cover protects your hand from the rail’s edges and corners when accessories are not attached.

The Wildcat™ features a HIGHLY-ERGONOMIC AMBIDEXTROUS MOLDED POLYMER STOCK with skeletonized buttstock, upright ribbed pistol grip and rugged textured matte finish.

CLEANING THE BARREL IS A SNAP because you insert the cleaning rod through the rear access port to brush out the bore and chamber from the breech end, protecting the barrel crown.

STOEGER STR-9 9MM

We know very little about his pistol yet, except from this brief description on their website and the fact it comes from a reputable manufacturer of rifles and shotguns. It's also a handsome piece with  aggressive slide serrations that enhance the look: Stoeger brings an earned reputation for durable, dependable shotguns to the world of semiautomatic pistols with the new STR-9. This striker-fired 9mm comes packed with features you'd expect in a pistol costing twice as much. Its integrated rail, internal safety, reversible magazine release, optimized slide serrations, three-dot sight system and enhanced ergonomics deliver consistent performance and comfort.

CZ P-10 SC 9MM - MSRP $499

Much more than just our take on the striker-fired pistol, the P-10 is decidedly CZ, from the way it feels to the way it shoots.

First order of business, ergonomics. Anyone who’s picked up a CZ 75 for the first time gets it — it just has to feel right in the hand. With the CZ grip angle, the P-10 avoids that ‘brick-in-the-hand’ feeling that has plagued many in the striker-fired genre, allowing it to point naturally. A mild palm swell, deep beavertail and three interchangeable backstraps make the P-10 fit a wide variety of hands as if it were built for them. Because it was.

Next up, trigger. So many striker-fired pistols do many things right, falling short when it comes time to pull the trigger. The P-10’s trigger is designed to minimize creep and stacking, and after initial break-in averages a clean 4.5-5 lb pull and rebounds with a short, positive reset — meaning single shots can be meticulously placed while follow-ups are effortless.

Built to withstand the rigors of military use, its fiber-reinforced polymer frame and hardy nitride finish are made for the daily grind. A generous trigger guard allows use with gloved hands while being undercut to allow as high a grip as possible, and a set of metal tactical 3-dot sights allow for one-handed manipulation of the slide on a belt.

Take-down of the P-10 will be familiar to most fans of striker-fired guns, and even more pleasing will be holster compatibility with some of the most common guns on the market.

One change that happens on both the US-made and Czech-made P-10s is the switch to a swappable magazine release. With a change in geometry, the goal was to eliminate the stiffness some customers experienced as the magazine release broke in, even though it became smooth after some use. This new reversible release just requires a few minutes to swap, allowing the P-10 to remain lefty-friendly. 

It may have taken a while to come to market, but we feel the wait has been worth it. With CZ reliability, engineered ergonomics and a bevy of features both familiar and new, the P-10 is the complete package.
