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.

Hera industries h6. $1800 APPROX

2/27/2023

 
Picture
Coming soon to the US is Hera's H6 bolt action rifle in .223 REM or 300 BLK. It accepts PMAGs and feeds like the British Sten gun of WWII infamy (doubly odd being that this is a German company!). Among other features it has a folding stock and a full length rail (scope pictured above is just for demonstration). Hera were once known for their 1911 pistol chassis and with those preluded so many other companies who've come along with chassis systems for Glocks, Sigs and S&W's. The side mounted mag of the Sten was a brilliant idea allowing commando's to lie prone, close to the ground, and stalk in on the enemy without bumping the mag. The little machine gun could be kept close to the ground whilst firing, or rested on a berm and fired and reloaded whilst keeping a very low profile. Though Sten's were initially, notoriously jammy (issues of cheap manufacture mostly), they did improve with subsequent iterations and were carried by allied forces throughout the war. They've also graced the silver screen enough times to be part of our modern firearm psyche. But it's not just cool looking, it's a commonsensical design, especially for a bolt gun intended to be shot from the weeds or a grassy knoll. I've often wondered why this magazine configuration isn't incorporated more frequently in modern semiauto carbines - I suspect it has something to do with how we shoot as Americans: standing upright, offhand, braced, swinging vertical, emitting a war-cry and with balls to the battle come what may. Movies and training all bolster that heroic fearlessness. But in the real world, taking cover is an imperative to getting close to game, or, surviving more than a few gnarly seconds in combat (or hellish post-apocalyptic survival scenario). Visit the Hera WEBSITE and keep an eye out for the promising new H6.

umarex notos PCP carbine. 7-shot. $199

2/23/2023

 
Picture
German manufacturer Umarex does not lack in the innovation department. This slim, light, quiet PCP carbine is testament to their ability to constantly apply the latest developments in airgun technology into a single package, in this case the Notos. For all intents and purposes this is comparable to a 22LR for short range varmint work or backyard plinking plus you can shoot it in the basement without deafening yourself thanks to the permanently attached three-baffle "SilencAir System" (that we won't call a silencer).

If that SilencAir System was attached to a 22LR you'd need to do your whole Form 4 song and dance with the ATF. Plus, with a 11.5" barrel this would technically be an SBR if it were a 22LR firearm, for which you'd also have to file a Form 1, and wait the obligatory six months, and pay your $200, and have all the lack-of-mobility headaches of an NFA registered firearm. Plus, to buy a 22lr firearm of any type requires a gunshop purchase or FFL transfer - all of which when said and done is mucho denero! I harbor a great fondness for the airgun world precisely because it lives outside the increasingly regulated world of "guns" (for now anyway, until we become like the UK and classify airguns as firearms) and inspires unfettered creativity in the designers who dwell in this dreamlike realm of air-powered freedom...a freedom we haven't know in this country, in any walk of life, since the 1970's.

Get it for $199 HERE and celebrate a rare retro liberty. Also, if you want to drool over the amazing array of Umarex stuff, check THIS link out.

Gamo Swarm Maxxim 10X GEN 2. $199

2/18/2023

 
Picture
This high-powered airgun uses a 10-shot magazine and requires no CO2 or compressed air thanks to an IGT Gas Piston actuated by breaking the barrel. This is an excellent option for a survival rifle for small game - you can carry 500 pellets in your pocket and you'll never need to worry about sourcing bullets, nor the noise of shooting them. It uses a Whisper Maxxim integral suppressor and comes complete with a 39x40 scope (not sure how well it stands up to the considerable recoil however, you may need to upgrade the optics). It's available in 177 or 22 and comes with a single 10-shot mag. Get it for a great price HERE:

The Gamo Swarm Maxxim 10X GEN 2 Multi-Shot Air Rifle is an economical breakbarrel airgun that's well-suited to plinking, pesting, and small-game hunting. Reaching velocities of up to 1,300 FPS in .177 and 1,000 FPS in .22 (with alloy pellets), it offers shooters a light and compact repeating platform for fast follow-up shots.

The Swarm Maxxim uses an IGT inert gas piston powerplant for smooth and stable operation, reduced vibration, and increased longevity due to the lack of spring fatigue, plus better low-temperature operation and the ability to leave it cocked for longer periods. It also includes a 2-stage Custom Action Trigger that independently adjusts each stage for travel.
The 10X GEN 2 Quick-Shot magazine attaches horizontally and flush with the stock to ensure a low profile, and the bottom of the grip comes off to reveal an extra magazine storage compartment. In addition, the Shock Wave Absorber pad translates to nearly 75% less recoil than airguns without a buttpad.
The barrel of this airgun is jacketed with polymer and employs Whisper Maxxim noise-reduction technology for a quieter shot. Also, the stock is filled with automotive-grade glass and features all-weather synthetic construction and a textured rubber grip and forearm for a firm hold.
This air rifle comes with a Gamo 3-9x40 scope that's fog-proof, waterproof, and shockproof, as well as a mount. In addition, it includes an 11mm dovetail Recoil Reducing Rail that increases the longevity of scopes because it eliminates nearly all recoil for optics attached to it.
To get an affordable repeating breakbarrel with upgraded technology and improved design versus the previous generation, buy a Gamo Swarm Maxxim 10X GEN 2 Multi-Shot Air Rifle from Pyramyd Air today.

marlin 336 .30-30Win/35rem...coming soon!

2/7/2023

 
Picture
Announced at this past SHOT Show, this beautiful blued-steel and walnut resurrection of Marlin's renowned 336 comes with all the finesse evident in the 1895 range already released by Ruger, and yet it promises to MSRP for less than $1,000! Great news for fans of this venerable round and iconic rifle. I hope they bring back the 336Y - the youth version and my favorite of the Marlin .30-30's - as I believe it keeps our next generation in the sport and provides a more manageable carbine for us shorter folks and female hunters. Keep an eye on their WEBSITE for an ETA!

stealth arms 1911 platypus glock mags. $1400+

2/4/2023

 
Picture
Probably the best thing about the blocky Austrian plastic pistol is the ubiquitousness of their magazines: I suspect almost everyone - Glock fan or not - owns one or more Glock mags if only because one of their firearms utilizes them, or, they used to own a Glock and decided to sell it because they didn't like it. But when new firearm manufacturers suddenly pop up and produce weapons that are mag-compatible, we all get a little excited because we know we have mags lying around and can always grab four sticks on line for the price of a scarcer proprietary one. Stealth Arms has just come out with a fully customizable 1911 that takes G17 9MM mags. (By the way, the larger pistol pictured above is designed in their excellent builder app that allows you to fully customize your piece according to your preferences and would cost around $1,600. The smaller inset image is their base pistol at $1,400.) What's interesting is that the use of the Glock mag allows for virtually the same grip angle as the original, traditional 1911 so for 1911 fans you're getting an American-made,  hand-built, custom double stack slabside (for a decent price) in an inherently familiar ergonomic package. So far they only manufacture pistols in 9MM, but 45ACP is on the cards for the not-too-distant future. Exciting stuff! Check it out here on their WEBSITE.
