Key features include a fully ambidextrous receiver set, a 20-inch cold hammer-forged .308 barrel, and a significant development in suppressor compatibility with a factory-supported gas block and muzzle device designed for gate-lock suppressors from brands like Griffin Armament and Knights Armament. This addresses a common user modification for previous Sabre models.

The PSA Sabre-11 prototype, showcased at SHOT Show 2026, is a 1911-style pistol with a focus on premium features at a competitive price point. It boasts an anodized aluminum Icarus grip, V8 slide ports, a 5-inch bull barrel, and the Agency Arms AOS optic system. A standout feature is its tool-less, front-swappable trigger shoe, adjustable for overtravel and take-up, utilizing all tool steel internal parts.

This video features a former Navy SEAL, Jeff Gonzales, providing expert feedback on a home defense AR-15 build. He critiques the rifle's accessories, particularly the sling, and emphasizes the importance of reliable optics and the benefits of a suppressor for indoor use.

The Beretta ARX-160, showcased at SHOT Show 2011, is a modular, piston-driven rifle featuring ambidextrous controls and tool-less disassembly. Its design emphasizes adaptability with multiple sling points, interchangeable magazine releases, and a quick-change barrel system. While currently limited to military/defense use, future law enforcement and civilian variants are planned.

Fostech unveiled a 20-round .50 BMG drum magazine for Barrett M107 and 82A1 rifles, constructed from billet machined aluminum. They also introduced the Fostech Rader, a lightweight .308 rifle featuring a proprietary magnesium aluminum alloy and ambidextrous controls. The drum mag is priced at $1599 with a Q3/Q4 availability, while the Rader rifle is expected around $3000 with a Q4 release.

Testing a Remington 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum load from a 16-inch Rossi M92 reveals impressive performance, achieving 1709.6 fps. The round exhibited significant fragmentation and penetration of 20.1 inches in ballistic gel, behaving more like a rifle cartridge due to its velocity. This challenges typical handgun round terminal ballistics expectations.
