GOTW: Smith & Wesson M&P10
Smith & Wesson didn’t just dip its toes into the .308 Winchester AR market—it jumped in head first with its M&P10.

GOTW: Springfield XD-S 9 mm
Thanks to its XD-S in .45 ACP, Springfield Armory was one of the hottest companies of 2012. The XD-S was so innovative that it went on to be named the American Rifleman Handgun of the Year. When you knock one out of the park like that, there's not a lot that needs changing, and Springfield agreed. So, for 2013, Springfield has rolled out an updated version of the XD-S in 9 mm.

Coolest Gun Movies
Firearm enthusiasts are quick to point out the inaccuracies in Hollywood films featuring firearms. Can you blame us? Some of these movies, though, have affected our next gun purchase or made us think about situations for which we should be prepared. Many of these movies also take us back to simpler times, when dreaming of saving the day got us through that oh-so boring class.

GOTW: North American Arms Black Widow
There are plenty of pocket pistols on the market today, but few can compete with the North American Arms Black Widow in size and portability. This five-shot, single-action, mini-revolver is only about 5¾-inches long, and although its frame and cylinder are made of stainless steel, the gun weighs less than 9 ounces.

GOTW: TriStar C-100
TriStar Sporting Arms introduced its pistol line in 2012, and has expanded it for 2013. One of its premier new offerings is the C-100, which is manufactured in and imported from Turkey. The C-100 is a compact clone of the well-known, and greatly respected, CZ-75 design.

GOTW: DPMS A-15 TPR
The name A-15 refers to DPMS' .223/5.56 caliber, gas driven rifles. But within that family you can find a number of different models and configurations—including the latest Gun of the Week, the DPMS A-15 Tactical Precision Rifle (TPR).

GOTW: Mitchell's Mausers PPS50/22
The World War II-era PPSh-41 was a symbol of Russian resistance to the Nazi invasion. It's an iconic firearm, well steeped in history—and also a select-fire submachine-gun capable of full-automatic fire. Now fans of the PPSh-41 are in luck as a semi-automatic rimfire replica, the PPS50/22, is made in Italy by Pietta, and currently imported by Mitchell’s Mausers.

GOTW: IWI TAVOR
Originally developed in close cooperation with the Israel Defense Force (IDF), the IWI TAVOR was created to excel in close-quarters engagements—and now a civilian version is available. The bullpup design moves the rifle's center of gravity closer to its handler's body, allowing for instinctive aiming and improved acquisition time to target.

GOTW: GSG Schmeisser STG-44 from ATI
The Sturmgewehr 44 was originally developed in Germany during World War II, and is well-known for being one of the first modern "assault rifles" to see major deployment. In honor of the Sturmgewehr, German Sport Guns has released the GSG Schmeisser STG-44—a replica model that's dialed back to semi-auto and chambered in .22 LR. It's being imported to the United States by ATI.

GOTW: Thompson/Center Dimension
The idea of a switch-barrel rifle sounds interesting, right? It’s an intriguing thought for most riflemen and women, but typically the setback is the cost of the second barrel. Thompson/Center’s Dimension bolt-action may eliminate that issue.

GOTW: Walther PPK/S .22
Famous for being the first double-action pistol and being 007's firearm of choice (though admittedly more so for the latter), the Walther PPK remains one of the most famous handguns in industry history. Now, though, the popular PP line has expanded to one of the most affordable calibers on the market: .22 LR.

Ruger Mark II/III Pistol Accessories
Sturm, Ruger & Company, one of the largest American gun manufacturers today, launched its business in 1949 with the introduction of the "Standard" .22 Long Rifle pistol. Today, it's most popular .22 handgun is the Mark series, partly because they can be tuned, tweaked and upgraded with a variety of aftermarket accessories. Don't forget to verify part compatibility with your specific pistol.

The .40 S&W
The .40 S&W was designed as a compromise between the 9 mm and the .45, but regardless of personal preference, it makes a good self-defense round, and it is still the round used by most law enforcement officers.

GOTW: Adcor B.E.A.R.
The AR platform is easily the most popular rifle in the United States, and has been for years. While many offerings vary only cosmetically, a few companies have introduced designs with functional improvements on the nearly 60-year old system. One such company is Adcor Defense, with its Brown Enhanced Automatic Rifle.
