This latest enhancement from Smith & Wesson proves that good things can come from heavier, steel-framed packages.

Taurus entered the bolt-action rifle market with its Expedition, a Remington 700-pattern design that's built to be versatile and affordable.

The 2011-style pistol was designed to address the capacity limitations of the single-stack M1911 platform, and Kimber's approach to the concept is its 2K11, a competition-ready offering with several notable features.

The blunderbuss is not uncommonly regarded as a sidebar in firearm history. But in reality, these purpose-built defensive shotguns, within their limitations, were deadly, efficient and widely employed by civilians, the military and law enforcement.
