Benelli Introduces the Most Advanced Shotgun Barrel Technology Ever

Leave a comment

Accokeek, MD – With shotgun technology and advancement spanning centuries and leading to today’s ultra-sophisticated designs, it is easy to believe that shotgun performance has already reached its zenith. Benelli says, “Not so fast!”

For 2025, Benelli introduces a revolutionary new technology to the shotgun world — one that raises the bar by improving the terminal performance of the smooth-bore platform. Called the Benelli Advanced Impact (A.I.) technology, this new approach to shotgun ballistics delivers the shot payload harder, faster, and with greater downrange pellet density than traditional shotgun barrels.

The key to Benelli A.I. technology is a new ballistic contour integrated into the barrel bore. This contour design combines with Benelli’s new Advanced Impact Crio® chokes to provide enhanced shot column velocity and, subsequently, more energy at the point of impact when compared to conventional shotgun barrel designs.

Stoeger’s Model to STR-9 Combat Series

Leave a comment

Accokeek, MD – Stoeger engineers conceived the original STR-9 Combat X pistol as the ideal platform to provide civilians with a full-size, military-grade 9mm handgun. Mission accomplished. Now, Stoeger takes the STR-9 Combat X to the next level with the all-new STR-9 Combat SX.

The STR-9 Combat SX is a true fighting pistol featuring a practical, straight grip design with expansive stippling and an aggressive backstrap for optimal weapon control and retention. A recessed thumb shelf and serrated memory pads assist in repeatable hand positioning to boost accuracy potential and to promote muscle memory.

The theme of practical function extends to the slide, with its deeper serrations for quick, positive manipulation, and to the ambidextrous slide release levers, which are welcome assets for weak-hand operation. A beveled mag well promotes fast reloading, and the gun comes with three magazines — one 17-round mag with a flush base plate and two extended 20-round mags.

Additional features include an accessory rail mount to accommodate a tactical light or laser, suppressor-height front and rear fiber optic sights with rear sight adjustability, and an optic cut with two mounting plates for direct mounting of a red dot. Regarding the raised sights, Stoeger includes these because the barrel comes threaded for use with a suppressor or aftermarket muzzle device. Read more

Kansas City, KS — The CZ Shadow 2 is an unrivaled choice for practical pistol shooting sports. Its perfectly balanced design provides speed, accuracy, and shooting comfort, delivering the performance top shooters need to win IPSC World Championship titles and international medals. Target shooting enthusiasts can now enjoy the same competition-ready features as their IPSC counterparts in the CZ Shadow 2 Target – a unique model customized for bullseye shooters.

CZ took the best characteristics of the award-winning Shadow 2 and customized them for the win in the new Shadow 2 Target. Adjustable sights, an ability to attach frame weights, an adjustable trigger shoe, and a longer barrel are just a few of the many upgrades that deliver 10X performance in the two new Target models.

The barrel is a critical component of any gun and a standout feature on these new models. Shooters can choose from 5- or 6-inch barrels—ideally suited for target shooting. CZ cold hammer forges and hand-fits each barrel to the slide, ensuring supreme precision and durability. A lifetime warranty backs CZ barrels!

CZ maximized comfort in the Target, improving shot-to-shot consistency. Building on the legacy of the CZ 75, a pistol with cult-like status thanks to its comfortable natural grip, engineers fine-tuned the Shadow 2 Target for perfection. Sophisticated grip texturing matches the roughened areas on the front and rear of the grip. CZ also redesigned the shape of the controls for ease of use. Read more

New FPC Lawsuit Challenges Federal Ban on Interstate Handgun Sales

Leave a comment

FORT WORTH, Texas —Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF) have filed an important new lawsuit challenging federal laws prohibiting licensed firearm dealers from selling handguns to out-of-state buyers. The case, Elite Precision Customs v. ATF, can be accessed at firearmspolicy.org/eliteprecision. This lawsuit is part of FPC and FPCAF’s high-impact strategic litigation program, FPC Law, which aims to eliminate unconstitutional laws and create a world of maximal liberty. FPC is joined in the litigation by two individual FPC members as well as Elite Precision Customs, a federally licensed firearm retailer in Texas. FPCAF is counsel of record in this matter.

“This lawsuit challenges the federal ban on interstate transfers of handguns from federally licensed dealers to individuals who are otherwise eligible to purchase and possess a handgun for lawful purposes but cannot purchase directly from a dealer because they do not live in the same state as the dealer,” the complaint says. Because of that, the “ban violates the Second Amendment.” The plaintiffs are seeking a declaratory judgment, a permanent injunction, and other relief.

“FPC and our courageous co-plaintiffs are proud to take on the federal government and fight forward to bring this evil ban scheme to its end,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “This important case is part of our broader strategic litigation efforts to eliminate laws that deny the right of peaceable people to exercise their right to acquire, possess, and carry arms while outside their state of residence. Through this case and others, we look forward to eliminating these immoral regulatory schemes once and for all.”

“The government’s ban preventing firearm dealers from selling handguns to people that reside in other states is unconstitutional. The ban has no historical support and cannot be justified under Supreme Court precedent. We look forward to demonstrating that in court,” said FPCAF President Cody J. Wisniewski, counsel for the plaintiffs. Read more
