SHOT Show 2023 saw the launch of dozens of new handguns, bringing fresh offerings to every corner of the consumer market. Here are five that stood out to our editorial team.

I recently acquired a Model 629 Smith & Wesson revolver. It has the 83⁄8" barrel and S&W wood stocks.

Whether in guns themselves or the cartridges they chamber or in optics or other firearm accessories, mechanical and material science innovations are key.
