Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATN X-TRAC and what problem does it solve?

The ATN X-TRAC is a wireless remote control designed to mount onto a firearm. It recreates the buttons found on an optic, placing them in a more accessible position for the shooter while the gun is shouldered and they are looking through the sight.

What is unique about the new Federal HST Micro .38 Special ammunition?

This Federal HST Micro load for short-barreled .38 Special revolvers features deep-seated bullets. This design eliminates excess air within the case, aiming to provide more consistent expansion and performance from smaller revolvers.

What are the new Smith & Wesson Combat Revolvers and their key features?

Smith & Wesson has released the Model 66 in .357 Magnum and the Model 69 in .44 Magnum. Both are compact revolvers with 2.75-inch barrels, designed for a balance of concealability and shootability, retailing at $849.

Why did Barnes Ammunition issue a recall for their .300 Weatherby Magnum ammo?

Barnes Ammunition recalled their 180 TTSX .300 Weatherby Magnum loads because boxes may have inadvertently contained rounds from other cartridges. This mix-up poses a significant safety risk, potentially leading to firearm malfunctions or damage.
