For this Friday Day 4 of SHOT Show we offer a showcase of interesting product report videos.
Hodgdon Report — Availability of H4198, H4895 and ENDURON
At SHOT Show 2025, Chris Hodgdon took the time to talk about the availability of some Hodgdon powders for the months ahead. Regarding H4895 he said they hoped to have both powder in stores “Sometime this spring [2025]” so check the Hodgdon.com website for availability.
Regarding Enduron, Chris posted: “Big question here at SHOT show… where is the ENDURON? ENDURON has not been discontinued. We are working diligently with our supplier to get it back in stock. It may be a while before our supplier can produce it.”

The scope features a unique new clickless turret with a digital position sensor for ultra-fast 1/30 MIL elevation adjustments.
MDT SEND-iT Electronic Level — Gen 2
Here’s a cool product that can benefit marksmen in many competitive rifle disciplines. The Generation 2 MDT LRA SEND iT – MV3 Electronic Level provides an instant “green light” visual signal showing that your rifle is level so your shot should land on target. Instead of waiting for a spirit (bubble) level to move, the SEND-iT LEDs are 3-5 seconds faster and are much easier to see.

SHOT Show is one of the biggest trade shows of the year among ALL industries. This year there are thousands of exhibitors spread out over two exhibit halls the combined size of 14 football fields! Thankfully a number of YouTubers have been working hard, finding interesting new products in the miles of aisles. Today we feature some notable videos from SHOT Show 2025, along with some cool product reports — leading off with Lapua’s announcement that it will be producing 6mm Dasher brass this year. That earned high praise from our Shooters Forum members.
Tikka T3x Ace Competition Rifles and T1x Rimfire Rifle
The new Tikka T3x Ace rifles works great for both hunting or match PRS/NRL use. They are chambered in .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor. We like the Tikka’s smooth-running action and very nice, crisp trigger. For rimfire competition, consider the Tikka T1x .22 LR match rifle. This features customizable chassis, heavy barrel, single stage trigger and 20 MOA Picatinny rail. Prices for both centerfire and rimfire Tikka rifles are quite reasonable compared to a custom build. You can get great deals on Tikka rifles from leading vendor EuroOptic.com. CLICK HERE for EuroOptic Tikka Rifle Sale.
New 6mm Dasher and 7mm PRC Brass Coming from Lapua
Great news — Lapua is releasing top-quality 6mm Dasher Cartridge Brass later this year. The 6mm Dasher is one of the most successful and popular cartridges for mid-range benchrest competition, and it is also now very popular with PRS/NRL shooters because of its superb accuracy and relatively low recoil. It’s a great varmint cartridge as well. The 6mm Dasher cartridge is inherently accurate and load development is relatively easy with known accuracy nodes with 103-108gr bullets. We are delighted that Dasher brass will finally be available from Lapua in the fall of 2025.
We were also pleased to see Lapua will be offering 7mm PRC Cartridge Brass later this year. The 7mm PRC can efficiently drive the heaviest .284-caliber projectiles. This gives F-Open competitors and long-range hunters a great new brass option. When teamed with Berger’s new 190gr LR Target Hybrid bullet (see below), the Lapua 7mm PRC could become a top choice for F-Open shooters.
One other cool new product coming soon is a high-BC 144gr 6.5mm Max Range Target Bullet. This .264 caliber bullet offers great 0.670 G1 and 0.335 G7 Ballistic Coefficients making it one of the highest-BC 6.5mm bullets ever crafted. The new Max RT 6.5mm bullet will be available for consumers in spring 2025.
New CZ Shadow 2 Target Pistol — Great for Gun Games
In this video GunsAmerica Digest Editor True Pearce reviews the impressive new CZ Shadow 2 Target pistol. This 9mm pistol features an extended slide, 6-inch polished and hand-fitted barrel, full steel frame, and handsome ergonomic grip. This pistol also boasts a very crisp trigger that can adjust to five positions.
The regular Shadow 2 has won many IPSC world championships. And this new Shadow 2 Target model should be even better. The 6″ barrel and long slide offer significantly reduced muzzle lift for faster follow-up shots plus longer sight radius for more precise aiming.
Berger Offers New 7mm 190gr LR Hybrid Target Bullets
Here’s big news for F-Open shooters running 7mm cartridges in F-Class competition. Berger will be offering a new, ultra-high BC bullet that could enhance scores. The new 190gr Long Range Hybrid Target projectile offers a higher Ballistic Coefficient which can translate to a flatter trajectory and greater resistance to deflection by crosswinds. In this Ultimate Reloader video F-Class John compares the new Berger 190gr LR Hybrids with Berger’s popular 180gr hybrids. John examines the 190-grainer’s ballistic advantages and demonstrates how thee 190s perform on the range, after load development and seating depth testing.
Innovative SG Sight Pro “Smart” Shooting Glasses Have Heads-up Display of Shot Time, Split Time, and Shot Count
Here’s a great new product for folks who participate in “on the clock” shooting competitions. SG Sight Pro offers innovative new safety eyewear with an onboard “heads up” display. This projects key info in the top left corner of the left lens so the shooter can see shot times and splits. It would be cool if a company could provide a product like this for High Power and F-Class shooters that would show the e-Target score after each shot without moving one’s head position.
Olympic Biathlete Twins Talk with Living Legend Jerry Miculek
In this video talented twins and Olympic Biathletes Lanny and Tracy Barnes visit the Mossberg booth and get trigger tips from legendary shooter Jerry Miculek starting at 1:30 time-mark. The twins also check out Mossberg long guns in the video, including the new Mossberg 590R shotgun and 590RM with a 10-rd detachable shotshell magazine.

Parting SHOT — One More Day to Go

On Day 2 of SHOT Show 2025 (Wednesday), six state governors attended a notable Forum. As you might expect, ALL the governors were Republicans from “Red” states. Topics included Second Amendment rights, the importance of the firearm industry, the legislative landscape, how and why special interests threatening the firearm and ammunition industry, and how states can help sustain Second Amendment rights. We commend these state leaders for attending SHOT Show and showing concern for the interests of shooters and hunters. We hope that more Governors, including Florida’s Re DeSantis, will attend next year. And perhaps even President Trump may even head to Las Vegas in 2026.
Present at the 2025 NSSF Governors’ Forum are (in alphabetical order of states):
➣ Idaho – Governor Brad Little (Republican)
➣ Montana – Governor Greg Gianforte (Republican)
➣ Nebraska – Governor Jim Pillen (Republican)
➣ Nevada – Governor Joe Lombardo (Republican)
➣ Oklahoma – Governor Kevin Stitt (Republican)
➣ Wyoming – Governor Mark Gordon (Republican)
Forum with State Attorneys General
Along with the Governors’ Forum there was also a moderated Forum with several Attorneys General of U.S. states. This 2nd Annual State Attorneys General Forum covered legal developments to protect Second Amendment rights and the firearm industry from antigun “lawfare” attacks. The forum focused on ongoing legal battles, legal questions, and the amicus briefs these attorneys general submitted opposing threats to the Second Amendment. Members also discussed dealing with the anti-gun policies pushed by the Biden administration, and the never-ending battle against politically-driven attacks on the firearm industry and Second Amendment rights.
Attorneys General Attending the Forum included (in alphabetical order of states):
Georgia – Attorney General Chris Carr
Kansas – Attorney General Kris Kobach
Missouri – Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Montana – Attorney General Austin Knudsen
Ohio – Attorney General Dave Yost
West Virginia – Attorney General J.B. McCuskey
“The firearm industry and gun owners have true courtroom champions in these attorneys general. They are the vanguard [who fought] four years of attacks by the Biden-Harris administration against our industry and our Second Amendment rights”, said Lawrence Keane, NSSF Sr. VP & General Counsel. These attorneys general, the leading law enforcement officials in their states, fight back against the wave of “lawfare” brought by gun control groups that weaponize courts against American civil liberties.

Today, as part of our Day Two coverage of SHOT Show 2025, we are featuring videos and image of new rifles from SIG Sauer, Savage, and Smith & Wesson.

Other major manufacturers, including Beretta, Bushmaster, FN, Remington, Rossi, Sako, and Tikka also have many new guns on display at SHOT Show 2025.
Interesting New Rifles at SHOT Show 2025
SIG Sauer Spear DMR in 6.5 Creedmoor
At SHOT Show 2025, SIG Sauer unveiled the Spear DMR, a 6.5 Creedmoor Designated Marksman Rifle with 20″ barrel and fully adjustable, folding stock. While not yet available commercially, SIG Sauer has suggested this rifle may offered for sale later this year. In its product review, GunsAmerica notes: “The SIG Spear DMR features a fully adjustable and folding stock… nearly identical to the SIG Cross rifle stock, this version utilizes a different angled mount while maintaining the same ultra-light construction. The stock includes precision adjustments for both the cheek riser and length of pull[.] Its folding design … makes the rifle more compact for discreet transport or storage without compromising functionality or ergonomics.”
Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Stealth Hunter
The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Stealth Hunter combines a traditional lever-action rifle design with modern upgrade. Features include an extended Picatinny rail for optics, an M-LOK equipped fore-end, a Hi-Viz H3 front sight, and an adjustable ghost ring rear sight sourced from XS Sights. Available calibers are .45 Colt, .44 Magnum, and .357 Magnum.
The 16.3-inch 410 stainless-steel (with a threaded muzzle) has a twist rate of 1:16, the receiver is forged 416 stainless steel, and the fore-end, which has 15 M-LOK slots, is aluminum with a hard-coat anodized finish. The black synthetic stock has textured grip panels. The rifle also has a large loop operating lever and a manual cross-bolt safety. See this rifle at the Savage Booth #12427.
Savage Model 110 Pro Pursuit Hunting Rifle
With a cerakoted bolt and action, PROOF Research carbon-wrapped barrel, and lightweight Grayboe Phoenix 2 stock, the 110 PPR offers easier carrying in the field along with good durability. The 110 PPR (Pro Pursuit Rifle) incorporates new features on the company’s proven 110 platform. It sports a nicely-patterned camo synthetic stock and field-friendly features like a large knurled bolt handle, flush QD sling adapters, and a 20 MOA rail. The carbon-fiber-wrapped 22-inch Proof Research barrel also saves weight. A three-round AICS-style mag, dual extractors, and muzzle brake facilitate quick follow-up shots. The 110 PPR is offered in nine different chamberings, with emphasis on big-game cartridges. MSRP is $2,399.

It’s Day 2 of the 2025 SHOT Show. Hundreds of new handguns are on display at vendor’s booths in Las Vegas. Today we feature notable new (or updated) handguns from Smith & Wesson, Colt, Glock, and KelTec. If we were shooting action pistol competitions we would definitely consider the new metal-framed S&W M&P9. And the KelTec 5.7 offers impressive fire-power in a very slim and lightweight package.
Smith & Wesson M&P9 Metal HD – Spec Series V
If you shoot gun games such as the USPSA matches, you want a high-mass pistol with a fast cycling and low muzzle lift for quick follow shots. That can be achieved with a ported barrel and an all-metal frame. Smith & Wesson has emplyed this design with its new M&P9 Metal HD – Spec Series V. This 9mm striker-fired pistol has a 23-round capacity, and utilizes a newly designed aluminum trigger to facilitate more consistent and accurate shooting.
Weighing in at 2.31 lbs. (without magazine), the M&P9 Metal HD features a steel frame with enhanced texturing, a steel magwell, and a steel optics plate. All that steel increases overall weight and help reduce felt recoil. Its 4.8-inch threaded barrel, controls, and magwell all display a sharp blue PVD finish, and it is equipped with a Strike Industries™ compensator to tame muzzle rise and improve control.
“Our polymer M&P handguns [are] recognized for their ergonomics and reliability. We took these trusted attributes and integrated them into a steel platform to help mitigate felt-coil, allowing users to keep their pistol running flat and fast. This new Spec Series offers an advantage in today’s dynamic shooting environments while delivering a premium look and feel”, noted Corey Beaudreau, S&W Product Manager.
The M&P9 Metal HD ships with tall C.O.R.E.™ green night sights and also includes an optics-ready slide that can fit red dot optic. Additional features include three 23-round magazines, a Spec Series Coin and Knife, and a hard carry case. CLICK HERE to view more info and photos for the M&P9 Metal HD – Spec Series V.
The KelTec PR57 is a slim, high-capacity lightweight pistol chambered for the potent 5.7x28mm cartridge. This innovative handgun employs an innovative top-loading design, eliminating the need for traditional magazines. The KelTec PR57 internal 20-rd magazine is fed via 10-round stripper clips (see photo at right). Weighing just 13.86 oz (393 g), the PR57 is very light and thin. With a 4.64″ barrel, is is 7.16″ long, and just 0.937″ wide — 40% thinner that other 5.7×28 pistols.
The PR57 features a rotary (spinning) 1:7″-twist barrel and a crisp 4.5 lb trigger pull. Kel-Tec says the 13.86-ounce PR57 is the lightest pistol in its caliber on the market. By comparison, the FN Five-Seven MRD, PSA 5.7 Rock, and Ruger 57 all weigh 25 ounces, nearly twice as much. In addition to black, the PR57 will be offered in FDE and olive drab. The KelTec PR57 ships with two 10-round stripper clips and an optics plate, with an MSRP of $399. The pistol is expected to begin shipping sometime in the first quarter of 2025.
NOTE: There is a major negative — UNLOADING the pistol is not as simple or fast as simply removing a detachable magazine from the bottom of the grip. This PR57 does NOT have a detachable magazine.
Glock Pistols with Integral Aimpoint COA Red Dot Optic
Glock has partnered with Aimpoint to introduce the exclusive Glock x Aimpoint COA Combo. This package features an Aimpoint COA red dot sight pre-installed on Glock 9mm pistols — G43X, G48, G19 Gen5, G45, and G47. The Aimpoint COA optic i fitted to the slide via an A-CUT interface. The Aimpoint COA optic is optimized for concealed carry, offering a compact, lightweight design with a fully enclosed emitter for protection against environmental elements. The A-CUT mounting system allows the sight to be mounted deeper into the slide.
New Colt Wheelguns and Revived Smith & Wesson Model 10
Savage Stance XR Double Stack with Optional Optic
Savage’s new Stance XR has a 13+1 capacity and a quick-release optics mount that allows the user to switch optics. Internals remain the same as on the original Stance. Options include three colors, manual safety or none, and standard or tritium sights. You can also buy a version (as shown) that comes with installed red dot optic. MSRP runs $469-$659. Find Savage firearms in SHOT Show Booth #12821.

The hi-viz orange Action-Chek Gun Wrap serves to prevent accidental discharge of firearms. Use of these Gun Wraps will introduce a cautionary step before one puts a finger on the trigger. The Action-Chek provides a visual warning that firearms should be first checked for loaded condition before handling such as in training, target shooting, or storage settings. Observable from a distance, the Action-Chek indicates that the firearm chamber is empty in compliance with the facility, competition or other special event rules. The standard gun wrap configuration covers most controls of firearms when properly installed. The Action-Chek wrap must be removed prior to firearm use. This serves as a more significant safety protection than simple empty chamber indicators.
