NEW FIREARMS & ACCESSORIES

New products are listed here ONLY when they are actually available on the market. This spares us as consumers from wasting time trying to locate an item to buy when it hasn't yet left the prototype phase. As an AFD listed company you're welcome to submit notice of a new product so long as it's available for purchase.

Springfield armory 9mm hellcat

Looks interesting, this from the Springfield Armory website:

It’s a jungle out there. Protect yourself with the all new 9mm Hellcat™. Featuring a patented magazine with best in class capacity of 11+1 and 13+1 with included extended magazine, the Hellcat is designed specifically for every day carry with Adaptive Grip Texture™ and high visibility sights. Also available in an optics ready OSP™ configuration, the Hellcat gives you The Capacity to Defend.

With the increasing popularity of optics ready carry guns, the Hellcat is also offered in an OSP™ (Optical Sight Pistol) configuration with a milled slide to accept the smallest, most popular micro red dots on the market. Recommended micro red dots: JP Enterprises JPoint™ and Shield RMSc. Optics mount directly to the slide for the smallest possible footprint (see image below).

Right out of the box the Hellcat comes with 2 magazines, a patented 11-round mag with pinky extension and a 13-round extended mag. A flush plate is also included to give the pistol as small of a footprint as possible.

The ability to quickly locate your front sight is crucial for fast and accurate shot placement. The Hellcat features a high visibility tritium & luminescent front sight paired with a Tactical Rack U-Dot™ rear sight for easy target acquisition in all lighting conditions.


The custom pressure activated grip texture on the Hellcat frame features a pattern of staggered pyramid shapes. The taller pyramids have a flattened top to ensure comfort in the waistband and minimal wear on clothing. The shorter pyramids come to a point and lock in to your hand for a secure hold when the pistol is firmly gripped.

taurus g3 full-size: MSRP $345

Finally, a striker fired polymer pistol with a manual safety! This from the Taurus website: The G3 continues the proven polymer-frame profile now in a full-frame configuration, with generous stippling patches across the grip for maximum control and retention in any shooting condition, an ergonomic palm swell and side-frame Memory Pads that provide quick, positive hand positioning. The frame has an integrated Picatinny rail. A manual safety and slide release lever are optimally positioned above the thumb for easy manipulation. A refined element of the G3 is the 6-lb. trigger, designed with a smooth take-up and a surprisingly crisp, clean break exceeding that of typical striker-fired pistol trigger performance. A short reset promotes quick, controlled follow-up shots.

    As a firearm enthusiast or an AFD listed company you are welcome to submit a blog entry about a new product BUT ONLY IF IT IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. We try to avoid writing-up products that are still in R&D or have not yet been released to distributors. 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.
