Looking for a new iron or piece of kit to enhance the one you already own? Check out these 7 new bits of guns and gear to grow your firearms wish list.
The New Guns And Gear:
Springfield SA-35 Polished Blued Finish
Springfield’s SA-35 is an excellent take on the iconic Browning Hi-Power, but if there was one aspect of the original version worth complaining about, it was its matte blue finish. Thankfully, that’s no longer a problem as the company has just launched a version featuring an absolutely gorgeous polished blue finish. The cherry on top of this aesthetic upgrade is a set of darker checkered walnut grips to complement the deep bluing. It’s otherwise the same old reliable SA-35, even down to its price tag.
MSRP: $800
Rise Armament Rev 535 Trigger
Everyone enjoys an upgraded trigger in their AR, but few enjoy the installation process of hammering pins. With Rise Armament’s new Rev 535, improving your rifle’s bang switch has literally never been easier. The company’s calling it a “slide-and-snap AR trigger”, as it features built-in spring-loaded pins and requires no tools to install. You simply depress the pins by hand, drop it into your receiver and basically wiggle it into place until the pins lock into their respective holes. At SHOT, we saw people do it in literal seconds. Once installed, the single-stage Rev 535 trigger provides a crisp 3- to 3.5-pound break, and the blade face is rapidly interchangeable too, letting you swap between flat and curved on the fly (both are included). It even comes in different colors.
MSRP: $280
Falco Leather Wallet Pocket Holster
Pocket carry isn’t the best way to tote around a handgun, but sometimes convenience trumps factors like draw speed. For times when you need to quickly throw some defense in your pocket before heading out the door, Falco’s new leather wallet pocket holster looks like a very nice option. It’s designed to create the outline of a wallet while stowed, so even if someone looks below your belt, they’ll be none the wiser that you’re packing. The holsters are available in a huge variety of different pistol makes and model fitments and are handmade with full-grain Italian leather.
MSRP: $80
KelTec PR-3AT
If nothing else, KelTec sure keeps things interesting. Case in point, the new PR-3AT. This .380 ACP pocket pistol is tiny, super lightweight and fed via stripper clip like the company’s previous PR-5.7 design. Its lack of a removable magazine combined with its rotary barrel system and polymer frame results in a weight of less than 10 ounces when unloaded. Capacity is 10+1 for the short-gripped variant and 13+1 for the version with a longer grip. The larger model is available with a factory-installed Viridian RFX1 green dot sight, too. As far as deep concealment pistols and backup guns go, this might be the best new option on the market.
MSRP: $400
Ruger Harrier Rifles
Ruger has completely overhauled its AR-15 offerings with the Harrier line. Featuring two models, both chambered for 5.56 NATO, the company says the new rifles are being manufactured with a major focus on improved fit, function and features. Made in Ruger’s newly acquired factory in Hebron, Kentucky, the two Harrier variants are very similar but differ in a few key ways. Namely, Model 28600 has a mid-length gas system, a Magpul stock and grip, and an M-Lok handguard with a full-length STANAG top rail, while Model 28601 features a carbine-length gas system, an A2 grip, M4-style carbine stock and a lighter handguard with no full-length top rail. Both models utilize the same 16.1-inch nitrided barrel with a 1:8 twist and ship with A2 flash hiders.
MSRP: Model 28600 $750; Model 28601 $700
Lyman Sonicore Suppressors
Lyman entering the suppressor game wasn’t an expected move, but a welcome one. With the tax stamp fee for suppressors now being $0, what the market was in dire need of was a line of cans that prioritized value, and that’s exactly what Lyman’s new Sonicore line is giving us. Featuring 10 different models, all are priced below $300. Available models currently include the Skarv 22, Valor 9, Rekkr Direct Thread (.223 and .30), Rekkr Overbarrel (.223 and .30), Paradox Direct Thread (.223 and .30) and Paradox Overbarrel (.223 and .30). The .22 and 9mm Sonicore suppressors are made entirely of 6026-T9 aluminum, making them incredibly lightweight, while the .223 and .30-caliber models utilize a mix of 303 stainless steel for durability and 6026-T9 aluminum to help keep them lightweight as well.
MSRP: $200 to $300, model dependent
Ambient Arms Suppressors
We don’t throw this term around lightly, but Ambient Arms’ new EXO suppressors may really be a game changer. The company calls the heart of the new cans the Ambient Intake System, and it results in significantly cooler operating temperatures by using intake ports and “strategic low-pressure zones” that draw cool air inside during firing. Ambient Arms says the new system didn’t require any compromise with other aspects of the EXO suppressors either, as they still do a great job of reducing report, muzzle flash and even back pressure. Ambient Arms’ lineup currently includes two sizes of 5.56 EXO models and the Stratos .22 that’s rated from .22 LR up to 5.7x28mm.
MSRP: EXO 5.56, $1,350 // EXO 5.56i Mini, $1,400 // Stratos .22, $500
