American Rifleman TV kicks off its new season with the American Rifleman Ladies Pistol Project. What makes for a female-friendly handgun? A group of 35 women tested 18 handguns to determine what they like to shoot. What did we learn from them? Watch a preview of the episode here.

For "Rifleman Review" we test the Springfield Armory EMP4 Concealed Carry Contour pistol chambered in 9 mm Luger.

"I Have This Old Gun" looks at the Smith & Wesson Model 1940 Light Rifle. Watch a video preview of tonight's episode.
