The ATC comes in three models: ATC Base, ATC Rock with 5″ Barrel and ported slide, and ATC ROCK with with longer 6″ barrel plus ported slide. STEYR ARMS developed the ATC series to meet the stringent requirements of IPSC, PPC (Police Pistol Combat), and USPC (U.S. Practical Shooting) competition.

This video covers seven pistols suitable for concealed carry. The featured handguns are: Kimber CDS9 Classic; Taurus GX2; Heckler & Koch (HK) CC9; Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C Comp; Canik Mete MC9 L; SIG Sauer P211-GT4 Carry; and Glock 19 Gen 6. The price range is very significant among these models, starting at $269.99 for the Taurus GX2. And some of the pistols, to be honest, are really bigger and heavier than optimal for everyday carry.
MTM Case-Gard has just introduced a new foam-padded case for the popular Garmin Xero C1 Pro radar chronograph. This new MTM CCXERO Case holds the Xero C1 securely in a foam section, with a separate section for the tripod, charging wires, and other gear. With a $14.50 MSRP, this new case is very affordable and looks quite sturdy. We predict it will become quite popular with Garmin chrono owners. If you have an Athlon Rangecraft Radar Chronograph, this MTM Case might work but would require some foam trimming.*
MTM states: “The new MTM Case-Gard Chronograph Case (CCXERO) delivers secure, custom-fit protection for the popular Garmin Xero chronograph. Inside, precision-cut foam cradles the chronograph and its accessories for reliable transport and storage. A hard-shell exterior shields against impacts and debris, while the compact, dark earth design makes it easy to grab, stow, or stack.” MTM Case-Gard CEO Steve Minneman added: “The Chronograph Case was built to match the precision of the equipment it protects — because serious shooters deserve serious gear protection.”
MTM Case-Gard Chronograph Case (CCXERO) Key Features:
Custom-fit foam holds Garmin Xero and accessories
Hard-shell construction for superior protection
Ideal for storage or transport
Rugged, purpose-built design
Compact and portable
Garmin Chrono Carry Case Options on Amazon
Here are two more compact carry cases that can hold the Garmin Xero C1 and its small bipod. There is the $29 waterproof Pelican 1040 case on the left and the $15 zippered Paiyule case on the right. Both are available on Amazon. The Payuile case is similar to the new MTM CCXERO case inside, but is somewhat smaller and comes in four colors: tan, black, black/brown, and black/orange.
* Garmin vs. Athlon Chrono Sizes: The Athlon Rangecraft chronograph is slightly larger and heavier than the Garmin Xero C1 Pro. The Athlon Rangecraft measures approximately 3.5″ x 2.7″ x 1.2″, while the Garmin is smaller at roughly 3″ x 2″ x 1.7″.
Today we feature a great video about firearms crafting produced by Beretta, a legendary Italian gun-maker. Founded in 1526, 500 years ago, Beretta has remained under family leadership for 16 generations. This year Fabbrica d’Armi Pietro Beretta celebrates 500 years as the world’s oldest, continuously-operating firearm manufacturer, founded in 1526 in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy. The five-century celebration started with a major event at SHOT Show 2026.

Today’s featured movie, entitled “Human Technology”, is one of most impressive videos we’ve ever featured on this site. It’s that good. You’ll see an amazing blend of modern technology along with old-world artisanship — “a mesmerizing meld of the high-tech and the traditional”. (Daniel Xu, Outdoor Hub.)
“Human Technology is a singular and symbolic movie, its cast entirely made up of Beretta workmen, thus illustrating the perfect synthesis between craftsmanship and technology,” Beretta writes. This artistic movie by Ancarani Studio illustrates all the aspects of the manufacturing of a high-end Beretta shotgun. This video is a study in contrast. The movements of robotic assembly machines are juxtaposed with the centuries-old craftsmanship of stock carvers. Beautifully filmed and edited, this video should amaze and entertain anyone who loves fine firearms. (Full-screen HD Recommended.)
Beretta — Incredible history. Beretta was founded in 1526, five centuries ago. Remarkably, the enterprise is still owned by the Beretta family.
Beretta is now a huge gun industry company — the Beretta Holding Group now owns Sako, Tikka, Burris, Steiner, and Norma. Sako and Tikka were acquired in 2000, Burris Optics in 2002, and Beretta added Steiner-Optik and Norma via RUAG Ammotec. Beretta Holding provides a complete range of firearms, optics, and ammunition through these and a dozen other brands.
Garmin has introduced a new, very advanced laser rangefinder that raises the bar in terms of hand-held ranging technology. The new Garmin XERO L60i Laser Rangefinder represents a major breakthrough with key functions not found on other rangefinders. This XERO L60i unit has onboard ballistics to help calculate your hold. And there are onboard temperature, barometer, and humidity sensors. And the unit even has geo-memory that can tag a sighted location with GPS. But all that sensor tech and sophisticated ranging comes with a price. This Garmin XERO L60i unit has an MSRP of $2499.99. That’s $1000.99 more than the highly-regarded Leica Rangemaster CRF MAX rangefinder ($1499.00), and it is $1650.99 more than the excellent Leica RangeMaster CRF Pro ($849.00).
Notable features of the new Garmin XERO L60i:
High-resolution, full-color Overlay Display
Very sharp visual optics with 32mm objective and 7X magnification
Ranging out to 2000 yards for trees and out to 1500 yards for animals
Laser Locate feature to set GPS waypoint on previously ranged objects/animals
XERO L60i can access Applied Ballistics solver with AB Quantum Garmin App
Can range up to 1400 times with just two AAA Batteries*
This official Garmin video covers the notable features listed above.
This Garmin video shows how to employ XERO L60i advanced features in the field.

* The Garmin Xero L60i chronograph is powered by two user-replaceable 1.5V AAA lithium batteries, providing an operating life of approximately 1400 shots or ranges (based on a one-second range followed by a 10-second display). The unit is designed with an IPX7 water rating and operates between -20° to 60°C (-4° to 140°F).

Savage Revamps Multiple Rifle Models
As displayed at SHOT Show 2026, Savage Arms has updated its rifle line-up, including the Savage 110, signaling a major refresh across multiple platforms. While specifics are still limited, these changes point toward improved features and modern refinements throughout the lineup. This video features GunsAmerica Media Editor True Pearce, who recently tested many new firearms at Industry Day at the Range.
New CZ Rimfire Match Rifle for Position Shooting Competitions
The new CZ 457 Target is a break-through. This is the first high-end rimfire rifle CZ has crafted for high-level 3P competition. Purpose-built for ISSF 3-position and 3P Olympic competition, the new CZ 457 Target in .22 LR features a fully-adjustable aluminum chassis, fully-adjustable trigger and a longer, 26-inch Match barrel with 12 grooves and a target crown.

Stay tuned for a more complete report in the weeks ahead.
New Trends in Suppressors — Elimination of NFA Tax Stamp Fee
Thanks to the Trump Administration, the expensive cost of a Tax Stamp for a Silencer/Suppressor has been eliminated. You still have to fill out paperwork, but suppressors are now MUCH more affordable. The $200 NFA tax stamp for suppressors (silencers) and other items like Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs) was eliminated effective January 1, 2026, meaning the monetary fee is now $0, but the registration process through the ATF (forms, background checks, fingerprints) remains mandatory. The change significantly lowers the cost barrier to owning these items, making them more accessible, but does not remove them from National Firearms Act (NFA) oversight.
The elimination of NFA fees is creating a huge growth in the suppressor markets. At SHOT Show 2026 several suppressor makers have showcased innovative designs and affordable options. This video reviews Dead Air Silencers and the cutting-edge technology behind their most innovative suppressor designs with lightweight titanium construction. Highlighted in this video are the RXD910Ti and RXD22Ti, highlighting their advanced materials, impressive sound suppression, and multi-platform versatility. Also featured is the Nomad Ti OTB, an over-the-barrel design.
Evolution of SIG Sauer’s M7 Military Rifle — Updates
In this video, TFBTV’s James Reeves chats with SIG Sauer about the SIG M7 rifle and what has changed since the M7’s adoption by the U.S. Army. While the M7 has already entered service, SIG explains that the platform is still evolving through the Army’s Product Improvement Effort, driven by real soldier feedback rather than a ground-up redesign. Updates focus on reducing weight, shortening the system with an 11-inch barrel, refining the suppressor, and improving handling without walking back the performance goals of the 6.8×51 cartridge. This conversation breaks down what was changed, why it was changed, and how the M7 continues to mature as the Army\s next-generation service rifle.
New High-BC Sierra MatchKings and New GameKing Bullets
Sierra has released a large selection of new match and hunting projectiles. There are new GameKings, 7 new tipped MatchKings, and two impressive new all-metal MatchKings — .22 Cal 77gr and 6mm 105gr. The new 105-grainer MK caught our attention. Sierra claims that its new 105gr MatchKing is the highest BC 105-grain bullet available, delivering an unmatched blend of speed and high BC. Sierra says the new 105gr SMK (non-tipped) offers the BC performance of heavier bullets while maintaining the velocity advantage of a lighter projectile.
Beretta B22 Jaguar .22 LR Pistol
The team at All4Shooters.com spotted a cool new rimfire handgun, the Beretta B22 Jaguar. This new blowback semi-auto handgun is an innovative chassis gun. Controls are ambidextrous and you can even choose left-side or right-side ejection. The mechanical system is Ruger-type, with a bolt that is cocked by operating the two rear serrated ears. The double-stack magazine has a capacity of 15 rounds. The standard B22 Jaguar pistol is priced at $699.00, while the B22 Jaguar Competition, featuring match barrel, compensator, and thumb rest, is $999.00.

Interesting New Products at SHOT Show 2026
Century Arms ATA ALR — Affordable Precision Rifle
At SHOT Show, Century Arms showcased the new ATA ALR Tactical Rifle. Chambered in .308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor, this modular rifle comes complete with adjustable aluminum chassis and muzzle brake. This could be a good starter rifle for PRS/NRL competition that does double duty as a hunting rig. And the ATA ALR is just $1099.99. That’s a great deal — you can pay that much just for an aftermarket chassis system.
Smith & Wesson New Metal-Frame Handguns
Smith & Wesson has many new products coming out in 2026. Many impressive new handguns have been seen at this year’s SHOT Show. This video covers some very impressive S&W handguns that feature aluminum and steel frames. The first pistol is the S&W SPEC VI with aluminum frame, ported barrel, and pre-installed Aimport optic. Next the reviewer covers the impressive steel-framed HD series pistols — both standard and competitor models. With good ergonomics and triggers, these are great for action pistol games.
MDT New Ultra-Light Chassis — Just 3.2 Pounds
In this video MDT Product engineer Josh Botha reviews the new MDT DRT lightweight chassis. This was designed for lighter weight for easier carry in the field by hunters. DRT stands for “Dead Right There” and this models was designed for “precision night hunting”. The chassis bare weight is just 3.2 pounds a significant reduction compared to previous MDT ACC chassis systems.
Ryan Cleckner — New Seekins SIC Multi-Caliber Sniper Rifle
Ryan Cleckner is a respected gun journalist and former Army Sniper marksman and Sniper Instructor. In this video, at the 1:00-minute mark, Ryan spotlights the innovative Seekins SIC rifle crafted specifically for U.S. Special Operations. This rifle is designed to allow quick and easy barrel/bolt/magazine swaps so you can shoot multiple cartridge types with the same rifle. The Seekins SIC rifle is built to withstand extreme environments while letting the operator rapidly select and swap calibers to meet mission criteria. The $8900.00 Seekins SIC is a “purpose-driven, modular system” — not a chassis retrofitted to accept a barreled action.
New Hunting Rifles — Many Rifles Reviewed
This video reviews multiple hunting rifles, many of which were introduced in the last 12 months. This employs manufacture-supplied video clips, but it’s a good starting point if you’re shopping for a new hunting and/or varmint rifle. The video covers the pros and cons of these hunting rigs.

Industry Day at the Range is a unique event. Gun industry representatives are able to view, inspect, and shoot scores of new rifles, shotguns, and pistols provided by 200+ manufacturers from around the globe. In addition, new optics and shooting accessories are on display. Hundreds of media members and tech personnel visited the range on 1/19/2026 to test a wide variety of new firearms. There were many notable, innovative new rifles, pistols, and optics on display.
Conditions were good this year, with bright skies and temps in the high 60s. Winds did pick up in the afternoon. Still most of the shooting was at targets inside 50 yards so those breezes didn’t stop the show. It did make it more challenging to hit the longer range rifle targets. Still, media members were excited to see the scores of new rifles, pistols, and shotguns on display. See Range Day Map.
