Bond Arms’ New Stinger “Fireball”

Granbury, TX The weight of a firearm is often a major concern for conceal-carry applications, especially when transitioning to a smaller caliber while maintaining the original frame/receiver dimensions. Typically, the additional space is filled with material, contributing to the overall heaviness of the firearm. Bond Arms® addresses this issue with the new Stinger “Fireball.”

Functionally identical to its counterparts, the Stinger “Fireball” receiver remains compatible only with other Stinger Fireball barrels. While maintaining the same dimensions and functionality, the new Stinger “Fireball” distinguishes itself with a lightweight anodized 7075 aluminum frame, adding a sleek two-tone design in black anodizing.

The Stinger “Fireball” ensures easy draw while maintaining the same positioning and function, featuring a low-profile break action lever on the left-hand side. It is factory-chambered in .22 Mag or 327 Fed Mag, unconventional self-defense calibers that nearly match the force of a standard, non +P 9mm. The pistol is equipped with a B6 resin extended grip for superior felt recoil reduction and a secure hold.

Weighing in at only 14.4 ounces, this is one of Bond Arms’ lightest derringers. With a standard 3-inch barrel and an overall length of 5.5 inches, it offers concealability, comfort, and ease of use. Despite its lightweight design, it accommodates two rounds in the chamber with its single-action hammer and a 7-pound trigger pull.

Benelli Introduces the Montefeltro Ultra Light Shotgun

Accokeek, MD – Nothing compares to a crisp, bluebird autumn day when the birds are plentiful, the dogs are on, and there is always “one more” spot to check just over the horizon. It is days like this for which Benelli’s engineers developed the all-new Montefeltro Ultra Light.

With its shortened barrel — 26-inch for the 12-gauge model and 24-inch for the 20-gauge model — combined with a reduced-length magazine tube and featherweight carbon-fiber stepped rib, the Montefeltro Ultra Light boasts a comfortable 6.3 and 5.3 lbs. for the 12- and 20-gauge versions, respectively. That reduced weight and shorter length translates to effortless shouldering and faster swings on quick-moving birds. Should higher round capacity beyond the standard 4+1 be required, the Montefeltro Ultra Light’s open mag tube can easily be modified with an optional extension.

As with all shotguns in the Montefeltro line, the Montefeltro Ultra Light features Benelli’s Inertia Driven system to deliver clean operation and reliable cycling from the lightest to the heaviest field loads.

AA-grade walnut with an exquisite satin finish comprises the sculpted, classically styled stock and forend bridged by a gloss black anodized receiver. This is complemented by a Crio®-treated gloss blued barrel. Benelli’s WeatherCoat™ finish on the stock and receiver ensures the Montefeltro Ultra Light will hold up to any adventure and cut a fine figure in the field or on the range for years to come.

Umarex USA introduces the first pre-charged pneumatic Umarex Airgun specifically made for fishing.

The FishR’s 9.5 cubic inch tank fills to 4,500 PSI, which is good for up to 65 full-power shots. The 800 PSI regulator helps ensure 100 FPS shots each time you pull the trigger.

The reel seat accepts traditional reels and dedicated bowfishing bottle-style reels depending on your preference. The ambidextrous bolt allows operation from whichever side suits the shooter. While a built-in line puller at the front of the onboard tank gives added leverage when fighting a large fish (or pulling a missed shot out of the muck). Slotted attachment points run down the stock while a full-length Picatinny rail provides mounting points for optics or lights. Read more
