Dayton, OH – The Chiappa 92 Core in the Wildlands series is built around one priority: a lever-action that stays simple, fast, and ready without drifting into range-toy excess. It is intended to be a working rifle that shoulders naturally, cycles smoothly, and carries the features that matter most when the moment is short and conditions are not ideal. Chiappa describes it as focused on “simplicity, instinct, and reliability,” which defines the Core: practical configuration, purposeful features, and a classic platform enhanced with Wildlands refinement.

Each Wildlands rifle brings a unique, practical approach to the lever-gun market. Designed for optimal usability and versatility, Wildlands Lever Action Rifles represent a balanced blend of useful and classic design. With modern additions, each Wildlands rifle addresses needs that traditional aesthetics did not fully accommodate decades, and in some cases centuries, ago. The 92 Core has an angle eject versus top eject action, allowing for an optional picatinny mount for the purpose of adding an optic. The forend of the handsome walnut stock features three integrated M-LOK slots for tastefully mounting modern firearm accessories.

The 92 Core is chambered in .44 MAG and feeds 8+1, pairing a proven lever-action format with a cartridge that remains well suited for woods distances, property use, and close-to-mid-range hunting. Its 16.5-inch (419mm) barrel keeps the rifle compact and responsive. Chiappa threads the muzzle 5/8×24, providing compatibility with modern muzzle devices where legal and practical. Read more

GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the launch of the SA-35™ 4″ 9mm, offering a unique new addition to this incredibly popular line of semi-automatic pistols.

Based on one of the most prolific and popular pistols in small arms history, the 9mm Springfield Armory® SA-35 gave shooters a modern take on a revered classic. Featuring subtle but significant upgrades to John Moses Browning’s original P-35 design, the SA-35 captured the appeal of the “wood and steel” era of arms making. With this new adaptation of the proven design, shooters have access to a pistol with all the benefits of the original SA-35 pistol, but now with a shorter and more compact barrel.

Like all SA-35 variants, the new 4” SA-35 is made in the United States and features rugged forged steel parts for strength and durability. This includes not only the slide and frame, but also the shorter 4” barrel. The barrel — as with all SA-35 pistols — features an improved feed ramp design for reliable functioning with today’s top defensive ammunition.

Further rounding out the design are the SA-35’s improved ergonomics and controls, such as a recontoured hammer to prevent the risk of “hammer bite” and an extended thumb safety. Additionally, the pistols employ modern sights made up of a white dot front and Tactical Rack black serrated rear sight. And lastly, a flush-fitting 15-round magazine ups capacity over the original design’s 13-round capacity, feeding into the pistol’s beveled magazine well.

The 4” SA-35 features an attractive matte-blue finish on its carbon steel slide and frame, complemented by a pair of checkered walnut grips contoured to enhance the pistol’s ergonomics and handling characteristics. MSRP is $799.

“The SA-35 proved to be an immediate success due to its combination of traditional design and modern enhancements,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “This new 4” SA-35 offers all those same benefits and appeal, but now in a smaller and faster-handling version.”
