GENESEO, ILL. – After years of development, we are proud to introduce the Hellcat™, the highest capacity micro compact 9mm in the world and the next generation of defensive pistol from Springfield Armory.“This is the first step in a new direction for Springfield Armory polymer handguns and embodies our disciplined approach to modern firearms design. Every detail of the Hellcat has been shaped by a singular mission — to deliver the definitive concealed carry handgun,” says Dennis Reese, CEO of Springfield Armory.

The 3″ barreled micro compact pistol features a class leading capacity of 11+1 with its patented magazine — 13+1 with the included extended mag — and is the result of years of painstaking development and engineering in addition to intensive collaboration with top engineers, shooters and self defense experts.

In addition to minute dimensions and stunning capacity, the Hellcat offers a paradigm shifting approach to red dot sight integration for an EDC pistol. Offered in an Optical Sight Pistol configuration, the Hellcat OSP features a seamless cover plate that removes to allow direct mounting of a micro red dot to the slide for the lowest possible profile. The result? A micro sized pistol weighing in at a mere 17.9 oz. with capabilities previously reserved only for full size defensive handguns. Read more

Massena, New York – FalconStrike USA is now offering their revolutionary hydraulic recoil pad in the United States to hunters, clay, skeet, trap and recreational shooters.”Most shooters struggle with the punishing effects of recoil so we’ve created a recoil reduction pad that utilizes hydraulic dampening technology borrowed from the aerospace industry that dramatically reduces recoil to give shooters greater accuracy, less flinching and more shooting endurance,” says Martin Gaudet, President of FalconStrike USA.

FalconStrike’s hydraulic dampening technology works to match your body shape that contours the shoulder when the gun is fired. The elastic bladder contains a high performance shock absorber for maximum energy reduction, which results in:

• 80% Less Recoil Energy

• 35% Less Muzzle Lift

• 25% Less Peak Force

• 35% Less Rock Back

With FalconStrike, you get enhanced recoil energy reduction through hydraulic dampening without the cost and expense of installing a muzzle brake or the limited results from a rubber-only pad. FalconStrike can be installed in three easy steps: 1. Select your model, 2. Attach base plate, and 3. Shoot with more comfort. FalconStrike comes with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

MOLINE, IL — “Hell yes, we’re coming to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” said 2020 Democratic presidential contender Beto O’ Rourke, as he detailed his plan for a “mandatory buyback” of firearms that he and other gun-grabbers find icky. That’s why Guns & Gadgets Daily is proud to introduce our latest giveaway, which we’ve created in Beto’s honor: the Molon Labe Giveaway. Between now and midnight on October 31, 2019, we’re giving away a custom-painted, one-of-a-kind AR-15, and an AK-47 to match, to one lucky winner.If you’re a student of history—or just someone who enjoys Frank Miller movies—you know that the taunt “Molon Labe,” was how Sparta’s King Leonidas responded to Xerxes’ demand that he and his 300 Spartans hand over their weapons. The translation from the Greek is, roughly, “Come and Get Them,” and we here at Brand Avalanche are reminding American gun owners everywhere that the spirit of Leonidas lives on in all of us…protected by the Second Amendment.

Colona, IL – Rock River Arms, manufacture of a diverse line of reliable and accurate Modern Sporting Rifles and pistols for personal defense, hunting, and competition is now shipping the new LAR-22 series rifles. The LAR-22 series are chambered in .22LR, giving shooters a higher-volume, reduced recoil and lower-price alternative to more expensive 5.56/.223 ammunition for practice and general recreation shooting.Three variants of the LAR-22 rifles are currently shipping—the Tactical Carbine, Mid A4, and the NM A4 CMP Trainer.

Tactical Carbine – For those who favor an MSR with a free-float barrel and handguard configuration, the LAR-22 Tactical Carbine is an optimal choice for tactical training or target plinking. Select between a forged aluminum upper and lower receiver set or RRA’s own polymer lower receiver set for a lower-cost option. Both rifles feature the RRA NSP-2 CAR, six-position stock, A2 pistol grip, two-stage trigger, and 15-inch 3G free float rail handguard that is M-LOK® compatible shrouding a 16-inch chrome moly barrel.

Mid A4 – Designed for those who prefer a more traditional A4-style firearm, the Mid A4 LAR-22 is also offered with either forged aluminum upper and lower receivers or the RRA polymer upper and lower receivers. Standard A2 grips, mid-length handguard with heat shields, six-position tactical CAR stock, single-stage trigger, and a 16-inch chrome moly barrel round out the key features.

NM A4 CMP Trainer – Built to be a stand-in practice rifle for CMP National Match competition, this rifle combines a precision 20-inch stainless steel heavy barrel with RRA’s NM CMP TRO free-float rifle-length handguard (with three TRO modular rails and a National Match sling swivel). Another precision upgrade is the RRA Two-Stage Match chrome trigger group. Available with forged aluminum upper and lower receivers, the NM A4 CMP Trainer includes the familiar A2 pistol grip and RRA Operator CAR six-position stock. Read more

CZ-USA and Dan Wesson add to the company’s suppressor-ready pistols with the DW Wraith, featuring a 5.75-inch, factory-threaded barrel. The Wraith features High Night Sights to accommodate a suppressor, as a suppressor usually blocks out some or all of the standard 1911 sights.

A full-sized 1911, the DW Wraith is available in 45 ACP, 10MM, and 9MM Luger. The frame and slide on the DW Wraith are made of heavy-duty, forged stainless steel, and are coated in Dan Wesson’s distressed version of the gun maker’s Duty finish. Non-distressed parts are finished in black.

The DW Wraith’s G10 grips feature an edgy and very functional stippling. The extended grip and thumb safeties make the DW Wraith easy to use even with gloved hands. For added support, sharp, 25 lines-per-inch checkering is found on the front strap and mainspring housing. The Wraith’s undercut trigger guard provides a higher grip for better handling and stability.

The Wraith’s ejection post is lowered and flared for better ejection of spent brass. Forward slide serrations provide a nice texture for racking back the slide. The beveled magwell means easier and faster magazine changes.

All DW Wraith’s come with a thread protector, and ships with two (2) magazines, a Signature Series pistol case, a barrel bushing wrench, one (1) cable lock, and an owner’s manual.
