Any gun owner knows that it's important to keep your firearms clean and in top-notch condition, and Otis Technology embraces that wholeheartedly.

The folks at Otis unveiled a number of new gun cleaning kits at SHOT Show 2012, and the AmericanRifleman.org editors were there to get a video recap of some of the latest new gun care options available.

Nikon unveiled a number of new products at SHOT Show 2012—among them the new M-308 and M-223 AR Riflescopes, new additions to the MONARCH binocular line and the PROSTAFF 5 Laser Rangefinder.

The M-308 represented Nikon's Precision AR Optic technology, making it an ideal riflescope for an AR platform. Designed for the fastest sighting speed available and long-range accuracy, the M-308 4-16x42 is best suited for .308 Win.

Once driven from their day jobs by the economic collapse and on the brink of disaster, Todd Hoffman and his crew of rough-and-tumble make-shift miners have struck gold—literally and proverbially—with the hit show "Gold Rush" on Discovery Channel.

Featuring Hoffman and his team's efforts to make ends meet as relatively novice miners, "Gold Rush" keeps audiences entertained and enthralled with an old-fashioned American dream style story. The "Gold Rush" men—many of whom also hunt—are staunchly pro-Second Amendment, and not afraid to share.

The first Colt Gold Cup pistol, originally called the National Match, was introduced in the 1950s as a gun that competitive shooters could take directly from the dealer’s shelf to the firing line, and soon became the standard for competition guns. The gun was discontinued in the late 90s, but Colt Mfg. is receiving high praise from Colt enthusiasts for reintroducing the Gold Cup as an enhanced pistol for today’s action shooting.

AmericanRifleman.org contributor Sheriff Jim Wilson gladly welcomed the reintroduction of this gun at SHOT Show 2012, and we caught up with him for a closer look to see what all the excitement is about. Watch the video and go to coltsmfg.com for more information.

Kallispell, Mont., -based Nemo Arms announced at SHOT Show 2012 that it will use the same technology currently used on its military and Special Ops firearms on its consumer brand. As suppliers to both the Boeing and Raytheon corporations, Nemo Arms combines aerospace grade materials with an advanced revolutionary machining process, which company Vice President Clint Walker says will transfer to its consumer products.

We caught up with Walker at the show and asked him to take us through Nemo Arms’ new .308 rifle, which is built on an AR-10 platform. Team MidwayUSA took first place at the Mammoth Sniper Challenge held earlier this month at Rockcastle Shooting Center using a Nemo Arms rifle built to these specs.

The recently introduced Beretta Nano (the company's smallest 9 mm yet designed for concealed carry) turned a lot of heads at Media Day at the Range during SHOT Show 2012, and American Rifleman Editor-in-Chief Mark Keefe was no exception.

Thanks to a removable sub-chassis, the Nano can be easily modified with replaceable grip frames, and is about as simple to disassemble and maintain as they come. Sights can be removed effortlessly with a hex wrench, and an ambidextrous magazine release contributes to the usability factor for both right- and left-handed shooters.

Just how much can rifle kick be reduced with a recoil-reducing stock? BLACKHAWK! says its new Rifle CompStock cuts perceived recoil by an astounding 65 percent, which means felt recoil from a .300 Win. Mag. in fact translates to the recoil of a .270 Rem.

NRA editors caught up with BLACKHAWK! at Media Day at the Range during SHOT Show 2012 to learn more about how this stock can reduce muzzle flip, improve shooter accuracy, and how this product can help new shooters get on their targets faster with large-caliber rifles. Learn more about what the new CompStock can do (and see it in action) in the video below.

There's no hiding it, 1911s remain the most popular pistol on the market today. They're a classic model and have stood the test of time (and fire the ever-popular .45 caliber round, at that).

The problem: A lot of 1911 models can be crazy expensive, keeping the average buyer out of the market. What Rock Island Armory displayed at SHOT Show 2012, however, may change that perspective for many AmericanRifleman.org readers.

Suppressor manufacturer Silencerco showed off some of the latest Silencerco and SWR models at SHOT Show, including the new Warlock, Spectre and Octane models.

Chief among the display was the brand new Silencerco 5.56 Saker—which the company is calling the most advanced rifle suppressor on the market.

Winchester Ammunition's PDX1 Defender line is one of the industry's most respected line of self-defense oriented ammo... and it's getting some new additions.

First and foremost is the Segmenting Slug (pictured) for 12-gauge shotguns. The PDX1 Defender slug segments into three pieces fired into certain barriers—combining the advantages of a slug and buckshot.
