V.ONE Unveils Enhanced Smart Trigger Gun Lock for 2026 with Faster Biometrics and Reinforced Security

Following strong industry response to V.ONE’s Smart Trigger Gun Lock introduced at last year’s SHOT Show, the company returns in 2026 with an enhanced, next-generation version featuring upgraded biometric performance, reinforced structural components, and broader compatibility to support modern gun owners.

As firearm safety awareness grows nationwide, more households are seeking secure, fast-access storage solutions. This demand has driven V.ONE to develop an upgraded model that improves fingerprint accuracy, reduces unlock latency, and enhances durability under real-world use conditions.

“The Smart Trigger Gun Lock upgrade was created to meet the needs of modern gun owners,” said Jacky Lu, CEO of V.ONE Technology Ltd. “We focused on faster biometric recognition, stronger structural integrity, and a better user experience to offer families even more confidence in safe firearm access control.”

The enhanced version includes an improved biometric sensor with higher recognition capacity, optimized electronics for faster response, and a reinforced locking mechanism engineered to withstand demanding environmental and durability requirements. Read more

Kinetic Development Group Redefines M-LOK Mounting with Kinect Series

Kinetic Development Group (KDG) is continuing to push the boundaries of M-LOK modularity with its Kinect™ Series of tool-less, quick-disconnect mounts—designed specifically to solve the limitations of traditional hard-mount M-LOK accessories.

Traditional M-LOK mounting relies on screws, T-nuts, and precise torque values to create a friction-based hold. While effective, those systems lock shooters into fixed configurations that are time-consuming to install, difficult to adjust in the field, and often left in place simply because removing them requires tools and downtime.

The Kinect series takes a fundamentally different approach.

Built around a patented, spring-loaded wedge system that mechanically locks directly into in-spec M-LOK slots, Kinect delivers the security shooters expect from a hard mount—without screws, T-nuts, thread locker, or torque wrenches. Accessories attach and detach in seconds, allowing shooters to reconfigure their rifles without committing to a single setup. Read more

Henry Repeating Arms Unleashes the Most Accurate Lever-Action Ever Built

Henry Repeating Arms, one of the country’s leading firearms manufacturers and the world leader in the lever-action category, has launched a new product from its performance-oriented Special Products Division called the SPD PREDATOR – the most accurate lever-action rifle ever built and the only one backed by a three-shot sub-MOA guarantee from the factory.

Built on the same advanced architecture as the Lever Action Supreme Rifle, recently named 2025 Rifle of the Year by Guns & Ammo, the SPD PREDATOR adapts that award-winning platform for smaller, more agile targets, longer distances, and rapidly changing shot opportunities. The result is a lightweight yet stable suppressor-ready rifle optimized to deliver the precision needed for successful predator and varmint hunting.

In testing, the Special Products Division team made repeated one-mile shots, an unheard-of feat for any lever-action. At the core of its performance is a match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel tension-wrapped in carbon fiber for improved rigidity, faster cooling, and reduced weight. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 to accept a suppressor, giving hunters major advantages when pursuing predators, including reduced recoil, a quieter sound signature for improved communication in calling setups, and help preventing spooking multiple animals during a stand.
