NRA 2019

In order to become a better shooter, you need to train with people who are not only better shooters than you but are also excellent teachers. Daniel Horner has drafted some of the best shooters and trainers in the world to create a library of quality video training you can access 24/7: OnVirtus.com (and there’s a discount code inside).

With a 6″ bull barrel and chambered in 10mm, it’s a reasonable choice for those who choose to hunt with a handgun. The long barrel maximizes bullet acceleration and its weight helps mitigate the effects of recoil. It’s a handsome firearm in two color configurations, two-tone black and bronze, or tritone black and bronze with a grey slide (pictured here). And yes, it’s only available in 10mm.

The original rifle designed by Armalite to replace the M1 Garand was the AR-10, and it was chambered in .308 Winchester. Springfield has gone back to those roots with the latest iteration of the SAINT Victor rifle. It packs all the power of the venerable .308 but does it with less weight than Eugene Stoner could have ever imagined.

A bullpup shotgun offers more maneuverability in close quarters and competition situations. I think it’d be interesting to hunt with a super short weapon, as well, for fast target acquisition and less fatigue from carrying a long gun. Rock Island Armory’s new VRBP100 is just 32″ overall but maintains a full 20″ of barrel length for accuracy.

Want to own a piece of history and make history at the same time? On Friday, you can. (If you have a couple million bucks lying around).

Glock announced at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits that their popular G45 model will now be available with the company’s new Modular Optic System (MOS), allowing users to mount many of the most popular micro reflex sights without permanently modifying the slide.

CZ-USA’s Scorpion Evo3 S1 is such a hit that Magpul developed several pieces to upgrade it, and those are such a hit that now CZ is shipping a model with those pieces already installed.

Henry Repeating Arms unveiled the new Side Gate Lever Action rifle at this year’s NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits, and Henry fans everywhere said in unison, “It’s about time!”

“Bullet technology,” once the territory none but the most neurotic gun nerds, has gone mainstream. Companies like Sierra, Nosler, and Hornady now mold hunks of lead and copper using the most cutting-edge technology—literally, rocket science.

Hornady’s new ATip Match bullet might be the next step in that technological evolution.
