NSSF Petitions SCOTUS To Overturn Illinois Ban on Semiautomatic Firearms, Standard Magazines

NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court in Barnett v. Raoul, to consider the Constitutionality of Illinois’ ban on over 1,000 models of firearms including Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) and standard-capacity magazines.

NSSF argues that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit erred in its judgment upholding the state’s ban on the purchase and possession of more than 1,000 previously lawful semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns – including the most popular semiautomatic rifle in America. The state’s ban on these firearms, and standard-capacity magazines, violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Read more

Accokeek, MD – Beretta is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the PX4 Storm series by unveiling two new additions to the PX4 Storm family: the PX4 Storm Compact Carry 2, as well as a full-size model, the PX4 Storm G-SD (Super Duty). Both models represent a masterful culmination of two decades of unwavering dedication to innovation and excellence, all the while preserving the defining features that have kept the PX4 series, Beretta’s best-kept secret.

Engineered with precision and developed in close collaboration with Langdon Tactical Technology, the enhanced PX4 pistols introduce a groundbreaking low-recoil heavy rotating barrel profile, a result of cutting-edge innovation. This pioneering design guarantees durability, unparalleled control, and precision with every shot, transforming the PX4 into an exceptionally soft-shooting firearm for its size, akin to that of a pistol equipped with a compensator.

Both pistols received enhancements including the installation of a D Hammer spring that elevates trigger control to new levels, a Type-G de-cocker tailored for carry-style use, and an impressively sized magazine release for rapid and decisive action when it matters most. To ensure an unrivaled grip and unshakable confidence in any condition, the Talon Grip offers superior texture. The PX4 Storm Compact Carry 2 is an instinctive choice for concealed carry featuring a bobbed conceal carry hammer ensuring comfort during AIWB carry, making it feel like a seamless extension of yourself.
