“semi auto”

In 1977 Ruger bucked the trend in a hunting market dominated by pump and semi-auto shotguns, introducing a new American-made over/under, the Red Label. The Red Label became a cult favorite among shotgunners until it faded from the Ruger line.

Finding the right shotgun fit means everything, but it's exceptionally difficult if you're sporting a smaller frame than what your scattergun was designed for. The average female shooter is smaller in stature than their male counterparts, companies have been recognizing and adjusting for that in recent years. Franchi is joining in the party in 2016 with the introduction of its Catalyst line of shotguns.

The folks at Smith & Wesson have announced their new M&P15-22 Sport, an update to the wildly popular M&P15-22 line. The new Sport variant will feature Magpul accessories as standard equipment.

Small-game hunters and everyone else who appreciates an accurate, easy-to-carry, semi-auto pistol chambered for .22 LR will want to check out the Victory just introduced by Smith & Wesson.

The 828U has been one of the year's hottest new releases, and that's a big part of the reason our friends at American Rifleman made it an NRA Gun of the Week.
