Liberty Safe Introduces the Presidential Signature: A New Standard in Customization, Craftsmanship, and Premium Safe Design

Wilson Combat is proud to introduce the BULWARK, a new midsize 9mm service pistol engineered to deliver the reliability, durability, and refined shootability serious users demand in a concealed carry or duty handgun.

At the core of the BULWARK is an enclosed internal hammer-fired operating system, combining the ignition reliability and superior trigger characteristics traditionally associated with hammer-fired firearms with a clean, snag-free exterior profile ideal for concealed carry and professional use.

Unlike striker-fired pistols that rely on a spring-driven firing pin, the BULWARK utilizes a fully enclosed internal hammer mechanism. This design preserves the proven mechanical advantages of a hammer-driven system while protecting internal components from debris and eliminating the exposed hammer found on many conventional pistols. The result is a platform engineered to be one of the softest-recoiling and most reliable handguns in its class.

The BULWARK features a sliding trigger with a 1911-style 3.75 to 4.25 lb pull, designed to deliver a crisp trigger break and short, tactile reset familiar to shooters who value precision and control. This refined trigger system promotes consistent engagement, rapid follow-up shots, and enhanced practical accuracy without sacrificing safety. Read more

Chiappa Firearms expands its single-action revolver lineup with the introduction of the S.A. 1873 Black Thunder, a modern revolver built around one of the most recognizable handgun patterns in firearms history. Chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, the Black Thunder maintains the traditional single-action operating system that defines the 1873 pattern while incorporating several contemporary features intended to support modern shooting, hunting, and outdoor applications.

The revolver operates through a traditional single-action mechanism and uses a six-round fluted cylinder with a semi-hexagonal profile. This geometry reduces weight while maintaining structural strength and balance in the hand. A transfer bar safety system supports safe operation while preserving the familiar manual of arms expected from a single-action revolver.

Chiappa pairs this action with a tensioned barrel system comprising a steel inner barrel housed within an aluminum outer sleeve. This construction helps reduce overall weight while maintaining rigidity and consistency in the barrel assembly. The revolver will be offered in two configurations: a 5.5-inch barrel and a 7.5-inch barrel, providing shooters with options suited to both compact carry and extended sight radius preferences.
