Both lightweight and accurate, the CVA Accura MR (Mountain Rifle) offers everything you could want in a muzzleloader. Sporting a compact, 25-inch Bergara barrel for added accuracy, the Mountain Rifle weighs in at just 6.36 pounds, which was achived by using an aluminum rather than steel frame. Other notable features include the WeatherGuard barrel finish, a Realtree Max-1 camo finish on the stock and a matching Quake Claw Sling, the option of a DuraSight Dead-On scope mount or open fiber-optic sights and CVA’s new Palm Saver Ramrod.

Although it was announced last year, Kel-Tec is nearly ready to start shipping the new RMR-30 .22 Mag. rifle. This long gun features the same grip and fire controls of the popular PMR-30 pistol. The rifle also uses the same innovative pie-wedge 30-round magazines as the pistol, allowing for both ammunition and magazine compatibility.

One of the more eye-catching and unusual pistols shown at SHOT Show this year is the new Heizer Double Tap. Using advanced design techniques and CNC machining, Heizer has developed a thin profile, monolithic frame over-under derringer chambered for modern defensive calibers.

Springtac has arrived on the scene with a brand new IWB holster that’s been a long time coming. While many defensive pistols can be fitted with tactical lights and lasers, there are very few holsters available that will fit an accessorized pistol for concealed carry.

RAAC has introduced the Akdal MKA 1919 gas-operated, semi-automatic shotgun manufactured in Turkey by Ucyildiz Arms. Both the appearance and the control configuration of the MKA 1919 looks and feels like the M16 rifle with some adjustments to accommodate the 12-gauge shotgun shells it fires.

There are several games in which shooters can compete with handguns. There's the bullseye game for pure marksmen, PPC for policemen and IHMSA for long-range fanatics. Defensive shooters like to hone their skills with IDPA or IPSC, while Frontiersmen prefer SASS and its derivatives. I encourage all handgunners to try their hand at some form of competition because it teaches you about your ability to shoot under pressure, and that's very important. Plus, the atmosphere surrounding a match is great, particularly in the exchange of ideas, techniques and the like. It is indeed unfortunate that certain people always look for ways to get an edge, usually by shading the rules, if not actually breaking them. However, once there was a game that kept shooters from breaking the rules by severely restricting the number of rules in force.

For now, though, NRA Editors have put together a list of some of the products that they've been lucky enough to cover thus far:

There are lots of 1911s in the market today, but since its probably the most popular semi-auto pistol in the United States, that is to be expected. However, some 1911s just seem to stand out from the others.

A frequent request from readers is for more information about guns that are cut for the southpaws out there. Rock River Arms made it easy for the AmericanRifleman.org team to respond.

CCI has developed a subsonic .22 load that is both accurate and quiet, and it comes out of the barrel at a pretty good speed for a subsonic round.
