While it’s not possible to cover every new product, here’s what jumped out at me.
Hailey Ordnance made an integrally suppressed variation of Savage mk.II bolt action to shoot 60-grain Aguila SSS 22 ammo.The resulting system is QUIET: 1db above the noise of the firing pin! It’s also decently accurate at about 2MOA, meaning I could reliably hit clays 180 yards away.Being subsonic, SSS doesn’t require the use of Hailey’s patented gas flow adjustment sleeve that can be used to quiet down supersonic loads.SSS in gel at 25 yards.Inland Mfg. has a series of new sound suppressors; very quiet, very light at around 3oz and inexpensive at around $150.Cleverly designed monocore makes them easy to maintain.Inland T30 makes it possible to realize more of M1 carbine’s accuracy.T30 and the modular, modernized chassis, very light and comfortable, make hitting 200+ yard targets a snap.Standard Manufacturing makes six-barreled pepperboxes in 25ACP, an efficient caliber for short barrels.Available in various colors, these heavy but simple and streamlined pistols fire two barrels with each trigger pull. At mid-$200 list, they are affordable and may be fired from a pocket without any external moving parts getting caught.Integrally suppressed SilencerCo Maxim 9mm pistol uses delayed blowback with fixed barrel. Light, accurate, with low recoil, Maxim uses Glock magazines.Keymod accessory slots under the asymmetric suppressor.Bulky but streamlined, the pistol handles very well and shoots reliably. Take-down is nearly instant.Avidity Arms PD10 did not disappoint, shooting even steel cased ball very accurately and with minimal recoil.Thin, comfortable, with excellent trigger, PD10 is a competently designed defensive pistol that will cost much less that I expected. It uses 1911 9mm magazines.Greatly refined Browning 1911-380 was a joy to shoot. It is a serious competitor to Sig P238 now.Launched with great fanfare, Hudson H9 (shown here with three prototypes) lived up to the advertising. It was supremely accurate, very comfortable to shoot. Very impressive.A newly available piece converts Mossberg pump shotguns to feed Aguila mini shells reliably. Shooting clays with almost zero recoil and 60% more capacity is fun.
