Trends seen in the past two years continue in the firearms industry. Spurred on by the repeal of the $200 NFA tax on suppressors, threaded barrels are offered on more and more guns. In handguns, compact and larger personal-protection pistols now routinely include an optics cut, and many model lines now include a variant with an integral compensator.
Overall, gunmakers are continuing to incrementally improve their products, causing manufacturers to introduce guns with “value added” features. The big winner in this, of course, is you, the consumer. It’s a buyer’s market. You know what to do.
