Accokeek, MD – Uberti, the world’s leading manufacturer of classical, single-action revolvers, western heritage blackpowder revolvers, and cartridge rifles, expands its already impressive portfolio of “Old West” handguns with the addition of three new models chambered in 9mm Luger.

For 2022, Uberti offers select El Patrón and Cattleman Brass single-action revolvers chambered for 9mm Luger cartridge. These revolvers headspace at the cartridge mouth without the need for moon clips, allowing cartridges to be loaded individually into the cylinder and ejected in the regular fashion.

In addition to offering single-action revolver fans another cartridge option, these 9mm models provide expanded range opportunities. With 9mm ammunition being readily available and at a generally lower price than many of the other traditional handgun cartridges, shooters will find it easier to spend more practice time on the range without blowing their budget.

Accokeek, MD – Franchi follows up on last year’s Momentum Varmint Elite rifle with two new caliber offerings. For 2022, varmint and predator hunters, along with big game hunters anticipating medium- to long-range shots, should consider the new Momentum Varmint Elite rifles now in 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Win.

Franchi engineers developed the Momentum Varmint Elite to deliver pinpoint accuracy when taking long shots at targets and game animals. The Momentum Varmint Elite starts with a 24-inch, heavy-contour fluted barrel that free-floats ahead of the precision-machined action mated to the robust DEPENDA Bolt. A three-lug bolt engagement system with a 60-degree throw provides ample room for high-powered optics and fast cycling when engaging multiple targets. Contributing to the DEPENDA Bolt’s smooth operation is its spiral-fluted profile and hardened chrome finish. Adding to the sub-MOA accuracy is the RELIA Trigger. This is an adjustable, single-stage trigger that shooters can customize to break cleanly between 2 and 4 lbs. Read more

Accokeek, MD – Thanks to the ever-expanding crop of efficient, hard-hitting ammunition, serious shotgunners are increasingly tapping the 20-gauge platform to drop birds not only in the tight confines of flooded timber but also along the wide-open fields and in cattail country. Now, Franchi gives southpaw hunters their own sub-gauge option by introducing the all-new Affinity 3 Left-Hand in 20-gauge.

Franchi brought forth the Affinity series semi-auto shotguns a decade ago. This line has since grown to cover multiple hunting applications, and specific shooter needs—from waterfowl to upland game birds, turkeys to clays. The new Affinity 3 Left-Hand 20-gauge follows the previously released 12-gauge left-hand model, providing hunters who prefer the softer recoil and report of a 20-gauge no longer need to compromise with awkward loading and bolt manipulation, as well as spent hulls crossing their line of sight.
