Smith & Wesson 500 Emergency Lede

Custom and Collectable Firearms’ has debuted its Smith & Wesson 500 “Emergency Kit,” a limited-edition revolver built to turn heads and stand ready in a crunch. With only 150 sequentially numbered pieces, the Emergency Kit’s Smith & Wesson 500 frame comes dressed in a Black Cerakote finish, engraved with high-polish stainless claw marks on one side and a bear on the other. High-polish controls accent the engraving, while hunter-orange rubber grips add a touch of rugged style. It’s a piece that’s as visually commanding as it is functionally formidable.

Each kit comes outfitted with essentials for the unexpected: an orange hard case featuring a grizzly design; practical tools such as a Humvee compass; a Boker fixed-blade knife with an orange handle; and a fire starter. And for those who appreciate the finer details, the kit is accompanied by a Custom and Collectable Firearms challenge coin, a series-detailed postcard, and a certificate of authenticity signed by CNC's owner.

Hardware Review: Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 A.I. BE.S.T

The Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 A.I. BE.S.T. is, put simply, on the fast track to being considered a waterfowling marvel. Standing for Advanced Impact technology, the SBE 3 A.I. shoots its shot with  improved downrange results thanks to a very, very proprietary barrel technology that actually assists in energy retention for greater downrange velocity. Sounds crazy, right? That’s what I thought too; then I took the gun to Montana’s Bighorn River and had my mind blown.
