The New Howa 25 Creedmoor’s known as the Triple Threat due to its fitting the niche for varmint hunting, Deer Hunting and for Target / Precision Shooting. Hornady has answered the call of others who were competing with the 25 Creedmoor in a wildcat form. With its 1:7.5 twist , it will handle very aerodynamic bullets and shoot right with the 6.5 Creedmoor at distance. However, the real appeal of this cartridge calls back to the true forte of the quarter-bore cartridge, which is dual-purpose use on varmints and big game. It will shoot light bullets that the 6.5 Creedmoor cannot.

Taurus USA announces the launch of the Taurus RPC, the company’s first entry into a dedicated 9mm PDW category. Built to NATO standards, the RPC delivers a reliable, adaptable platform in a compact format.

The RPC blends proven ergonomics with modern capability, keeping operation simple and setup fast. The aluminum construction trims weight while maintaining duty-grade durability. Controls are fully ambidextrous, with the bolt release/lock and magazine release easily reached from both sides, and a reversible, non-reciprocating charging handle that adapts to the shooter, not the other way around.

The full-length Picatinny top rail provides space for optics and enablers, while the M-LOK handguard allows users to set up the platform to fit their needs. A 4.5″ threaded barrel comes standard, and the quick-change barrel system adds flexibility for different configurations in the future. Available with or without a Strike Industries FSA folding brace, the rear of the receiver features a vertical Picatinny rail for attachments.

The RPC features a crisp single-stage flat-faced trigger, an AR-15 compatible soft rubber over molded grip, and three integrated quick-detach sling attachment points for flexible carry. Read more

PRESCOTT, Ariz. – Davidson’s has added TANDEMKROSS to its family of product lines and is proud to be the exclusive distributor for the new TKX22 Light Rifle.

Established in 2012 with a single part sold out of a home office, TANDEMKROSS has since grown to become one of the most recognized names in rimfire around the globe. Their mission is to deliver performance and excellence to make good firearms great! They accomplish this with dedication to high quality products, unparalleled customer service, incredible value, and practical solutions to real problems.

TANDEMKROSS is in New Hampshire and all TANDEMKROSS branded products are proudly made in the USA. With humble beginnings, TANDEMKROSS has grown to offer one of the largest and most elaborate product library for rimfire firearms available.

Initially stocking several accessory SKUs, Davidson’s has also entered into an agreement with TANDEMKROSS to be the exclusive distributor for their first complete rifle, the TKX22 Light Rifle.

Light and Premium

Less than three and a half pounds. That’s the unloaded weight of TANDEMKROSS’s TKX22 Light Rifle. It is the lightest semi-auto .22lr rifle of its type. To call it competition-ready is an understatement.

Performance and reliability are guaranteed as each individual component of this rifle has been field tested for years by the best rimfire competitors. Every rifle is built with TANDEMKROSS’s TKX22 Receiver, Spitfire Lightweight Barrel, M-LOK® fiber optic sights, Manticore LITE Trigger Assembly, KrossFire Bolt, and Spartan charging handle and includes one Assembled DoubleKross Magazine (a double-ended magazine with two independent 10-round compartments).

Thanks to its weight and bright fiber optic sights, the TKX22 is optimized for quick target acquisition and rapid target transitions. The TKX22 also serves as a great suppressor host for backyard plinking or small game hunting with its 1/2″x28 threaded barrel.

A wide range of optics can be mounted via the extended 0 MOA picatinny rail machined directly into the receiver. M-LOK® on the barrel provides additional mounting options for optics, lights, lasers, thermals, and more. Users wishing to set up their TKX22 Light Rifle for more static shooting can also use the M-LOK® on the bottom of Magpul®’s MOE® X-22 stock for bipods, ARCA rails, or more.

With all these plus other features like trigger pull-weight adjustment and compatibility with factory Ruger® 10/22® parts and magazines, the TKX22 Light Rifle truly offers something for everyone.

The TKX22 is offered in four different colors of the X-22 stock: Black, Stealth Grey, OD Green, and FDE. MSRP for each is $1,449.99. Consumers will likely see a better price at their local Davidson’s and Gallery of Guns FFL retailers. Read more

Off Grid Suppressors™ Scorpius™ .22LR suppressor validated as the #1 rated rimfire suppressor at the TBAC Sound Summit

SHEVLIN, MN – In an industry where performance is measured in decibels, Off Grid Suppressors is proving that precision engineering and additive manufacturing are the new frontier of silence. The company’s flagship rimfire solution—the Scorpius .22LR—continues to gain market traction following its definitive #1 rating at the prestigious TBAC Sound Summit.

Earning the title of Thunderbeast Champion, the Scorpius was analytically crowned the quietest .22 rimfire suppressor in a field of elite competitors. This accolade serves as a powerful validation for the Minnesota-based startup, confirming that their radical approach to suppressor architecture delivers world-class acoustic performance that effectively disappears in the field.

“Taking the top spot at the TBAC Sound Summit isn’t just a trophy for the wall—it’s a data-driven confirmation of our engineering philosophy,” said an Off Grid Suppressors spokesperson. “For the Scorpius to be named the quietest rimfire suppressor among the industry’s best proves that our investment in 3D-printed titanium is exactly what the market has been demanding: absolute silence without the weight.”

SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to remake the iconic Chicago Mob Boss Al Capone’s “Sweetheart” Colt 1911. Chambered in .45 ACP, this is a limited-edition recreation of only 200 firearms.

The “Sweetheart” 1911 associated with Al Capone is one of the most iconic and romanticized firearms tied to the Prohibition era. This custom Colt 1911 reflects both the personal and symbolic sides of Capone, blending sentiment with the hard-edged reality of organized crime in 1920s America.

The pistol itself follows the classic Government Model design which had already earned a reputation for reliability and stopping power. What elevates this particular firearm beyond a standard sidearm is its connection to Capone’s personal life. The nickname “Sweetheart” is widely believed to be a reference to Mae Capone, his wife, suggesting that even one of the most feared figures of the era carried something that represented loyalty and affection.

“Historically, this 1911 represents more than just Capone himself. It embodies the broader culture of the Prohibition era, where crime figures adopted both extravagance and symbolism in their possessions,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “Today, Al Capone’s ‘Sweetheart’ 1911 remains a fascinating artifact, merging craftsmanship, history and the mystique of one of America’s most infamous figures.”

The pistol features detailed floral engraving, a hallmark of high-end Colts from the period. These engravings often included scrollwork and personalized inscriptions, transforming the weapon into both a functional tool and a piece of art. Such embellishments were common among wealthy or powerful individuals who wanted their firearms to reflect status and identity.

The gun sights are custom-made to match those of Capone’s Sweetheart Colt 1911 with an adjustable rear sight and a partridge front serrated staked sight. The front strap has been checkered, and a newly designed checkered mainspring housing is installed.

Details on the left side of the gun’s slide showcase the traditional patent roll marks from Colt Manufacturing Company of its era. Additionally, the same floral scroll embellishes the right slide of the slide like the original Capone Sweetheart Colt 1911.

The right side of the gun’s slide features the “Colt Automatic Caliber .45” with Rampart roll marks of its era, along with the Government Model on the dust cover. More floral scrolls continue to embellish, as does the original Capone Sweetheart Colt 1911 with the series number of 001 through 200 on the rear panel.

The frame, slide and hardware are all polished and blued. The grips are made of genuine vintage red deer stag, not all alike, but with similar bark that gives this Sweetheart a true remake. Read more
