Taurus Builds on Its Deputy Single-Action Revolver Line with New Dual Cylinder Capability

Taurus is pleased to introduce the Taurus Deputy Dual Cylinder, a new addition to its single-action revolver lineup that combines classic styling with practical versatility for today’s shooter.

Rooted in the enduring design of traditional Old West revolvers, the Deputy Dual Cylinder features a 5.5-inch barrel and a high-gloss polished finish, offering both visual appeal and balanced handling. Thoughtful details such as the half-moon front sight, reminiscent of 19th-century single-action revolvers, and durable polymer grips bearing the Taurus bullhead logo further reinforce its authentic, period-inspired character.

While its appearance reflects a time-honored heritage, its functionality is distinctly modern.

The Deputy Dual Cylinder is chambered in .357 Magnum and includes an additional 9mm cylinder, both with a six-round capacity. The interchangeable cylinder system allows shooters to easily transition between calibers, effectively providing three caliber options in a single revolver: .357 Magnum, .38 Special, and 9mm.

Wilson Combat Reintroduces the Sentinel 1911 Platform with Three New Models

Wilson Combat is proud to announce the return of one of its most iconic concealed carry pistols: the Sentinel, the smallest 1911 ever produced by Wilson Combat. Reintroduced to meet popular demand and now joined by the all-new Sentinel XL, the platform combines classic 1911 craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision to deliver two distinct pistols purpose-built for deep concealment without compromising shootability or reliability.

Originally developed to provide serious defensive capability in the smallest practical 1911 platform, the Sentinel quickly earned a reputation among experienced carriers who wanted true 1911 performance in an ultra-compact form. With its abbreviated 3.6″ slide and shortened grip frame — a full half-inch shorter than Wilson Combat’s Compact — the pistol was engineered to disappear under light clothing while still delivering the accuracy, trigger quality, and confidence expected from a Wilson Combat handgun.

The relaunch honors that legacy while introducing a second configuration for carriers who want a little more sight radius and a lot less carry weight. The new Sentinel XL pairs the same sized sub-compact Sentinel grip frame with a 4″ Compact-length slide and an aluminum frame that is 60% lighter than a comparable steel frame. The result is a pistol that wears smaller than the base Sentinel at 27.6 ounces empty — lighter than the 35.6-ounce steel Sentinel — while offering a longer sight radius, softer recoil, and faster follow-up shots. For shooters who want something beyond 9mm, the Sentinel XL is also available in .38 Super, a cartridge Bill Wilson has chambered in custom 1911s since the early days of Wilson Combat.

Both pistols are hand-fit in Berryville, Arkansas by experienced Wilson Combat pistolsmiths, backed by the company’s 1.5-inch-at-25-yards accuracy guarantee, and feature premium components throughout including a match-grade stainless barrel, Bullet Proof® thumb safety, fiber optic front sight with serrated Battlesight rear, and a crisp 3.5–4.5 lb trigger pull.

The New HOWA 25 Creedmoor Offerings Are Now Shipping

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.

Hornady 134 –grain ELD Match Factory Load 2,760 FPS 2,266 FT-LB

75 –grain Hornady V-Max Handload 3,519 FPS 2,062 FT-LB
