March 2023: New Guns and Gear

Are you looking for a new iron, or a piece of equipment to improve the one that you have? It’s been 50 years since the last Browning Citori High grade 50th anniversary. Browning celebrates the 50th anniversary of its most popular over/under shotgun by releasing a special edition. The Citori High Grade 50th Anniversary Capstone demonstrates the line’s durability in the market. It also pays tribute to Browning’s design. The sharply chiseled floral engraving, which is cut into the 12-gauge’s silver-nitride receiver sides & bottom, grabs you immediately. It is offset with gold accents. The inclusion of the Invector Plus Midas choke system is less obvious. It features a triple trigger system (yes, you heard it right) and HiViz Pro Comp sight with an ivory middle-bead. You like what you see? Browning will only make a few of these beauties. Tristar recently released the LR94, a sleek-looking smoothbore that should prove very useful in the field. It is available in a blued or nickel finish and can hold five 2 1/2 inch shells. It also features an adjustable rear sight and a firing pin block. The LR94 is a versatile gun that can be used as a quick-shooting turkey gun, or as a starter gun for aspiring hunters. This is evident in the X4’s barrel construction. It allows for the easy task of connecting the firetubes while still maintaining the accuracy of each. This is done by joining the rib to one barrel and free-floating it in the other. Finally, a guiding circle at the muzzle stabilizes them. This allows a gunsmith the ability to adjust the system so that both shots hit their mark. The gun is stunning, loaded with walnut scrollwork (on its receiver) and exceptional finishing work. Available in.30–06 and 9.3x74R sizes, both come with adjustable sights, scope mounts, and Recknagel scope mounts. POF-USA Tombstone Tactical Lever–ActionPOF–USA has released their take on America’s most popular gun and it is quite different. The Tombstone Tactical Lever Action Rifle is somewhere between a Wild West gunslinger or a space cowboy. The 9mm is capable of feeding a 20-round detachable magazine (optional 10-rounders can also be purchased), and it packs plenty of firepower. It also allows for quick reloads. The 16.5-inch barreled carbine weighs in at just 7 pounds. The weight savings can be attributed to the lightweight aluminum receiver, Magpul SGA Stock, and 10.5-inch MRR Forend (M-lok compatibility). The RM66 is the most popular wheelgun in this year’s lineup. The.357 Magnum is a classic at first glance. The double-action sixgun features a stunning satin stainless-steel finish and a host other attractive features that will make it a favorite among revolver enthusiasts. The 6-inch barrel with full underlug and adjustable rear target sight will be a talking point. The gun’s non-stacking trigger keeps it on target. It has a smooth break and rubberized grip, making it easier to shoot and faster on follow-up shots. Rossi’s MR66 is affordable and can be moved quickly. It’s not so anymore. Taurus introduced the.357 Magnum 605 &.38 Special +P 856, which were the first production revolvers to be available with an optic-ready design in 2023. The Taurus Optic Ready Option (T.O.R.O.s) is based on the Defender series of small-framed revolvers. It features a mounting plate system that is compatible with Holosun K-footprint micro red-dots. The models are similar in terms of weight (around 23 ounces), barrel size (3 inches) as well as features such a removable front blade sight. The only difference is that the 856 comes with six rounds, while the 605 comes with five. MSRP: 856 at $445 // 605 starting at $450Beretta80X CheetahMany concealed carryers aren’t happy about.380 ACP. But this little pistol may change their minds. The Beretta 80X Cheetah, a modernized version of the classic Model 84 Beretta, brings the concept into 21st-century. The 80X retains its modest size, but the new model features an optics-ready slide and an accessory rail. It also has a frame-mounted safety/decocker and an updated grip angle.
