Langdon Tactical Technology (LTT) announces the release of the LTT 80X Cheetah in .32 ACP—an Exclusive handgun developed in partnership with Beretta and refined with Langdon Tactical’s proven performance upgrades.

Built on the Beretta 80X Cheetah platform, the LTT 80X combines classic ergonomics with modern enhancements. Chambered in .32 ACP, the pistol delivers noticeably reduced recoil compared to .380 ACP while retaining practical defensive capability. The result is improved control, enhanced accuracy, and increased shooter confidence across a wide range of skill levels.

“The .32 ACP performs exceptionally well in this platform,” said Ernest Langdon, CEO of Langdon Tactical Technology. “Reduced recoil allows for better control, faster follow-up shots, and greater consistency without sacrificing real-world performance.” Read more

Kansas City, MO – TriStar Arms introduces the Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock, a 20-gauge over/under shotgun built for precision, adaptability, and confidence in the field. Lightweight and well balanced, the Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock is designed to deliver consistent patterns and reliable performance across a wide range of turkey hunting scenarios.

The 20-gauge platform has become a popular choice for its controllability and efficiency. Weighing approximately six pounds, the Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock offers a natural point and steady swing while reducing fatigue during long days afield, without sacrificing stability or control.

Its over/under configuration allows two different chokes to be used at the same time, giving the shooter the ability to select which barrel to fire from based on distance, using the barrel selector. A tighter choke can be chosen for longer shots, while a more open choke is immediately available for close range opportunities, eliminating the need to change chokes in the field. Read more

Franklin Armory, one of America’s leading manufacturers of innovative firearms and accessories, will unveil the world’s first Total Round Control™ bolt action at SHOT Show 2026 in Las Vegas. Franklin Armory engineered the patent-pending Total Round Control (TRC) system to usher in a new era of bolt action performance as the centerpiece of its Prevail™ line of long-range precision hunting rifles.

Franklin Armory’s TRC action is designed to control each round through the entire feeding-chambering-firing-extraction-ejection cycle so nothing is left to chance. No longer will bolt action afficionados be afflicted by the Push Feed (PF) versus Controlled Round Feed (CRF) dilemma. For the first time, hunters and long-range precision shooters alike can engage critical targets with the best of both worlds, while avoiding the failures of legacy bolt action designs.

“We engineered a truly innovative bolt action feeding system that uniquely combines the most effective design features from push feed and controlled round feed actions,” said Franklin Armory President Jay Jacobson. “Total Round Control and our inaugural Prevail model configurations offer a new paradigm for hunters and precision shooters who desire the best in function and performance.”

Prevail™ Rifle Line

Centered around the technologically advanced TRC action, Franklin Armory’s Prevail offers all of the features expected in a 100 percent American made high-performance hunting rifle and more, including the following: Read more

RetailBI has released the December 2025 RetailBI Firearm Sales Index, the firearm industry’s most accurate benchmark of retail performance and indicator of consumer purchasing behavior of new firearms, reporting -16.4% for December, with a year-over-year (2025/2024) decline of -12.1%.

Gearfire’s RetailBI believes the firearm supply-chain deserves a creditable, data-driven performance marker to guide new firearm production and inventory decisions that precisely align with true consumer demand, optimizing sell-through rates while preserving overall market health.

For decades, firearm manufacturers and distributors have relied on NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) figures as a proxy for consumer demand when forecasting production and inventory needs. While new firearm sales do require a background check and would be reflected in the NICS results in most cases, this methodology proves to be flawed when considering common scenarios— such as permit applications, used firearm sales, transfers, denials, and multiple-firearm transactions — that make NICS an imprecise measure of new firearm demand.

BANISH Suppressors, the industry-leader in innovative, hearing-safe firearm suppressors, proudly unveils the all-new BANISH 556, the most advanced 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem. suppressor on the market. This new hard-use suppressor is tailored for full- and semi-automatic carbines and SBRs and includes sophisticated controlled-flow technology to mitigate back pressure while optimizing sound and flash suppression.

“Everything we have learned about materials, manufacturing, and the dynamic movement of pressurized gas through suppressors has been leveraged in making the BANISH 556,” said Brandon Maddox, BANISH Suppressors Founder and CEO. “I challenged the design team to create a new 5.56 suppressor that offers best-in-class noise and flash reduction, low back pressure, durability for hard use – including a full-auto rating – and overall dimensions that keep it portable and suitable for use by military and law enforcement professionals, as well as armed citizens. The result is the BANISH 556, and a whole new level of performance from tactical suppressors.”

The BANISH 556 is made using a combination of metal additive manufacturing, similar to 3D printing, and traditional machining to seamlessly combine a stainless-steel blast chamber with an advanced Inconel suppressor body. Read more
