Few companies have kept the CZ 75 going like the Italian manufacturer Tanfoglio. From competition pistols to affordable concealed-carry handguns, Tanfoglio manufactures CZ 75 pattern pistols in a variety of forms. New for 2025, the company is adding two new variants to its lineup with the Hexagon Tactical and Hexagon P.  Tanfoglio’s Hexagon models take their name from the hexagonal shaped “HeXagon” compensator port in both their slide and barrel.

The Mossberg 590M Standoff combines the features of Mossberg’s Shockwave series and its 590 box-magazine fed pump shotguns.

From 2011-style handguns to bullpup rifles, Springfield Armory is not a company to shy away from a new product category.

From television Westerns to the approaching Civil War centennial, a demand was created for everything from Colt single-actions to Springfield muskets that quantities of the original firearms were inadequate to meet. And so was born the replica firearm business that continues to this day.

Few people realized that Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson, founders of the Smith & Wesson company, were partners in one of the earliest ventures to build lever-action firearms. That history was made apparent with last year’s launch of S&W’s 1854 series of lever-action rifles chambered in classic revolver cartridges. New for 2025, the company is expanding that lineup by offering the 1854 chambered in the legendary .45-70 Gov’t cartridge.
