Federal Ammunition has added a trio of shotshell options—offered in 5, 6 and 7.5 shot—to its Game-Shok lineup for those who enjoy the lightweight and easy-handling of a 28-gauge shotgun. The new 28-gauge loads push their 1-oz. payload of hard, uniform lead shot at 1,220 f.p.s. and produce consistent, reliable patterns. MSRP: $19.95
Despite the incredible array of polymer-frame, striker-fired, semi-automatic handguns on the market, the classic revolver not only refuses to die, it has seen something of a resurgence in recent years.

For the past 100 years, the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) has established the standards that ensure our safety when using modern shotshells, cartridges, firearms and more.
