Carbines & Rifles
Now here’s a gun that could make even an infamous gangster like Bugs Moran smile. Diamondback’s new DB9R TG-Nine boasts walnut furniture to give it the looks of a classic Tommy Gun in a modern AR-style update that can host a 50-round 9mm drum.
Finally, you can fulfill your “A-Team” dreams thanks to Ruger’s reintroduction of a Mini-14 Tactical featuring the vintage 1980s-style stainless government barrel and folding stock. Several Mini-14 fans here at Guns.com are particularly excited about this one.
Winchester introduced its new Ranger .22 LR lever action. It’s an addition that’s already bringing smiles to America’s plinking fans.
In a very exciting development for fans of action movies and the beloved – though pricey – MP5, Military Armament Corporation has introduced its own affordable roller-locked 9mm clone in the form of the MAC-5. These guns were just announced and will come in two flavors. There will be your standard MAC-5 pistol with an 8.9-inch barrel and a trimmed MAC-5K with a 5.8-inch barrel.
B&T never disappoints with its compact and refined firearms, and the very compact APC9 line is suppressor ready with familiar AR-style controls. There’s even an extra-small variant to be had in the APC9K Pro series.
A CZ Scorpion chambered for .22 LR? Yes, please! We got a glimpse of this gem on the range, and it instantly went on our wish list for testing in 2024. We already loved the 9mm CZ Scorpion we tested a few years back, so a plinking version in the CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 is more than welcome anytime on the range with us.
New Lightweight Bolt Guns
Savage has doubled down on its M110 Ultralite with a decked-out Elite version. Built to match the conditions of extreme outdoor trekking, the Ultralite Elite offers power with just around 5 pounds of weight.
The Savage M110 Ultralite Elite features a carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless-steel barrel from Proof Research, folding stock, and diamond-fluted bolt.
CZ also rolled in with new options for its CZ 600 American Rifles and multiple new versions of its CZ 457 rifles.
Quiet Time Suppressors
Shadow Systems’ suppressors were a hot item for shooters on the range.
Carbon Research’s ultralight suppressors (top) were also a hit, and Savage joined the quiet game with its AccuCan on the bottom.
Silencer Central went extra small with its lightweight Banish Speed K suppressors. These featherweight cans are beyond compact and come in at under 1 pound.
We even spotted a pair of Tokarev USA’s semi-auto shotguns sporting cans this year.
Trending Handgun Designs
Commemorating 75 years of manufacturing, Ruger rolled into SHOT Show 2024 with a commemorative 75th Anniversary Ruger Mark IV. As a quintessentially Ruger pistol that has brought joy to generations of shooters, that seems like a pretty fitting tribute to us.
Diamondback had its new .357 Magnum SDR revolver on the shooting line. Coined the Self-Defense Revolver for its size and power, this small hand cannon is one of the lightest single-action/double-action six-shot .357 Magnums on the market at just 1.3 pounds.
