All right, I wish I could take credit for this, but it seems I was just thinking on a parallel track with the folks at Springfield Armory. Chad Dyer, Springfield’s marketing genius, called me a few months back to ask what I thought the next gun from Springfield should be. I responded that it was time for Springfield to do a single-stack compact appropriate for discrete carry in the Xtreme Duty (XD) line. As to caliber, 9 mm was all the rage at the time, but a .45 ACP would be better in my view.

OK, I’m pretty sure that is not a real word, but if it was actually in the dictionary, it perfectly describes the Beretta ARX, or at least the version I fired at Media Day On The Range. Of course, the futuristic ARX is the current modular selective-fire service rifle of the Italian Army made by Beretta in Gardone, Italy.

The gun I principally traveled to SHOT Show this year to see this year was on the last position on the lower range at Media Day At The Range. It is the Uzi Rifle, and it is actually a .22 Long Rifle rimfire version of the legendary Israeli design. I have shot a number of Uzis over the years, including the semi-automatic carbine when I was a teenager to the full-automatic submachine guns and the difficult to control Mini Uzi in full automatic, and I must say this was almost as much fun as a full-automatic Uzi. OK, maybe not as fun, but close. The gun is made by Carl Walther in Germany and imported into the United States by Umarex, with the name and likeness of the gun being licensed by Israel Weapon Industries.

Sometimes lost among some of the big releases at SHOT Show is the simple fact that your gun's only going to be worth what you put into it—and that means keeping it in a good working condition.

The firearm industry hasn't been subtle about trying to get its customers to prepare for a zombie-apocalypse, and it's hard not to wonder if someone has some inside information we're not privy to. That said, a neat find from the opening day of SHOT Show is Leupold's VX-R Zombie Riflescope.

Springfield's new XD-S was one of the most popular guns at Media Day at the Range 2012, and with good reason. The newest addition to the XD line, the XD-S features a slim, single stack frame that still manages to deliver the infamous .45 caliber firepower.
