DuraMag, a well-known Florida-based manufacturer of magazines, has expanded its company to include a suppressor division. Yup, that’s right. DuraMag is getting into the suppressor game.
Since the division is relatively young, think of it starting LATE last year, there isn’t a whole lot of concrete info available for the division or its products. However, the company did show off one of its prototypes at SHOT Show 2023.

Like many of the suppressors from SHOT, this one relies on additive manufacturing, which is a fancy phrase for 3D printing. The key to using this kind of manufacturing is that designers can get shapes that traditional manufacturing cannot.
Initial reporting on the suppressor line-up shows a monocore design made of very lightweight materials, like a titanium or combination with steel for some durability for the rifle suppressor. An interesting feature of the DuraMag suppressor is the user-operated venting on the front endcap. It is a two-piece design that can be opened or closed by removing the inner piece from the cap.
The suppressor is supposed to be launched in the Spring of 2023 and is expected to be around 6.5 inches in length. As stated before, there is no name yet, let alone pricing, so that info will be coming in the next few months as well.
20-Round Mag
Also from DuraMag at SHOT is a 20-round aluminum magazine in OD Green. Normally, a new magazine from a magazine manufacturer isn’t unheard of, but this is something that the military was asking for. DuraMag delivered on that request.
The US Government asked and DuraMag responded. The company now has a 20-rd aluminum OD Green AR magazine. According to the company, the high-strength magazine won’t flex like polymer and is durable no matter how long it sits in storage. (Photo credit: DuraMag)
The 20-round magazine is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum for a lightweight but durable magazine. It’s a special edition run with an orange follower. According to the company, the color becomes part of the metal and with its Progressive die tooling, Post Hole design, and fully robotic welding, the magazine will be consistent and reliable regardless of how long it’s been in storage. The magazine has an MSRP of $16.99.
Daniel Defense, no stranger to unveiling cool products, has officially launched its Soundguard suppressor family along with a folding stock adapter for the Pro series rifle chassis.
Soundguard Suppressor Line
The Soundguard suppressor line has a 5.56, 30 caliber, and a titanium 30 caliber suppressor. The new suppressor line is said to be a cutting-edge gas-flow dynamic system that eliminates over-gassing and directs the gas forward and away from the shooter’s face.

The Soundguard powered by KGM lowers impulse noise levels, helping protect against hearing loss. The suppressors have a patent-pending baffle stack and a proprietary coating on the internal components to reduce the firearm’s flash to almost zero.
The Soundguard suppressors will ship with a removable direct thread mount, meaning the suppressor can be used with other direct thread mounts or QD mounts on the market thanks to the HUB standard 1.375-24 UNS thread pitch of the mount. The steel Soundguard suppressors, the SG-556 and the SG-30, are full-auto rated and feature a stainless steel baffle stack and outer tube. The SG-30Ti is constructed from a titanium baffle stack and tube for a lighter package weighing just 15 ounces with the mount.
All of the Soundguard suppressors feature a patent-pending gas-flow pathing that stabilizes the rounds to ensure high accuracy with little POI shifts. The SG-556 and the SG-30 have a price tag of $750 while the SG-30Ti has a price tag of $1,000.
Folding Stock Adapter for Pro Chassis
Daniel Defense also expanded its Pro Chassis family of products and accessories to include an option for a Folding Stock Adapter. It was developed exclusively for the Delta 5 Pro and R700 PRO chassis systems. The adapter installs within minutes and allows the buttstock to fold in, making the rifle smaller for easier transport or storage.

The folding stock adapter was constructed with extremely tight tolerances from stainless steel to give the strongest possible lockup and eliminate any play that is usually present with folding stocks. The adapter has a no-button design to help minimize any impact from dirt or debris. Additionally, it allows for easy and direct access to the barrel without having to redo any adjustments.
The Daniel Defense Folding Stock Adapter for the Pro Chassis has a price tag of $199 and is available soon.
Fiocchi, a global leader in target, defense, and hunting ammunition, has expanded two of its families of ammunition, the Field Dynamics and Hyperformance Hunt series. The Field Dynamic added two Upland Steel rounds while the Hyperformance Hunt added a .223 Remington round.
Field Dynamics Upland Steel
With more hunters opting for lead alternative loads, Fiocchi has given hunters another option for shot loads. The Upland Steel shotshells are perfect for hunters going after upland birds or small game. According to Fiocchi, the components and engineering behind the new loads deliver the same high-quality and reliable performance that hunters expect from a Fiocchi load.
Fiocchi has expanded its Field Dynamics family of shotshells to include two 12-gauge options. These loads, one with #4 and one with #6, are designed for shotgun chambers of 2 3/4-inch. (Photo credit: Fiocchi)
The Field Dynamics Upland Steel shotshells are designed to be used in 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 2 ¾-inch and have either #4 or #6 steel shot. These rounds are available now with pricing around $18 per box of 25 shells.
Fiocchi Hyperformance Hunt in .223 Remington
The updated Hyperformance Hunt round was designed for a “lights out” performance when hunting varmints. According to Fiocchi, it has the same winning foundation as all the centerfire cartridges, like top-quality brass cases, reliable primers, and precision-manufactured bullets that deliver expected terminal performances. The feature that separates the .223 Remington Hyperformance Hunt load is the lead-free hollow point projectile.
Fiocchi expanded its Hyperformance Hunt line of ammunition to include a .223 Remington load. The bullet is designed to fragment on impact and it rarely exits the target, keeping pelts intact. (Photo credit: Fiocchi)
This projectile, the Barnes Varmint Grenade bullet, is designed to fragment quickly at impact similar to a frangible copper-tin hollow point. While it fragments, it delivers the impact energy on the target resulting in a stopping power terminal performance that leaves the hides or pelts of the animal undamaged. When used on larger game, the bullet rarely exits the target leaving the pelts intact.
The .223 Remington Hyperformance Hunt round joins other calibers for bigger game like .243 Win, .260 Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Win just to name a few. Pricing information wasn’t readily available, but more details should be out soon.
Fiocchi can be visited at SHOT Show 2023 at boot 11454 to see the updated loads in person.
The new hotness from IWI (Israel Weapon Industries) is the United States version of their popular Carmel rifle. The original Carmel is a weapons system made for combat overseas while the US version is a semi-automatic designed for public use here in the States. The IWI US Carmel is chambered in 5.56 NATO and has a bevy of features that are fantastic for tactical applications but also useful for range use and even hunting.

Hunters have new ammunition from renowned ammunition manufacturer Fiocchi to try out in the 2023 hunting seasons. There are two new loads being added to the Fiocchi family: KnockDown, designed for big game, and an expansion of Flyway, for waterfowl hunters. These loads are designed to give hunters successful seasons with superior results on target, and that means full freezers—which is always a welcome result.
Fiocchi KnockDown

Fiocchi KnockDown is made to take the company’s centerfire rifle line to the next level of performance. The new load design blends premium components and a precision-engineered monolithic bullet for decisive, effective shots on big game. KnockDown is meant to do exactly as its name suggests: drop big game ethically and quickly. It’s being produced in a variety of calibers, so it’s likely that your favorite is available.
This ammunition utilizes the company’s EnviroShield technology with an all-copper hollow point bullet. The round is designed to deliver impressive ballistics with the results being fantastic accuracy on target. The bullet is made for controlled expansion and devastating penetration, even in the toughest game animals—all with excellent energy transfer. Adding to that impact is Fiocchi’s proprietary powder which is made to burn cleaner and hotter that most. Every component of these rounds is made to deliver consistent results on game at high velocities. The fact that KnockDown is also designed to reduce barrel fouling is simply an added bonus.
Fiocchi KnockDown is available in the following calibers:
243 Win., 80 gr.
270 Win., 130 gr.
6.5 Creedmoor, 120 gr.
7mm-08, 140 gr.
7mm Rem. Mag., 160 gr.
308 Win., 150 gr.
.30-06 Sprg., 150 gr.
300 Win. Mag., 165 gr.
Fiocchi Flyway

The new Fiocchi Flyway load utilizes the all-new Speed sTEAL shotshells. The manufacturer states these shotshells deliver the dense patterns and terminal performance the existing line is known for, only it’s been fine-tuned. Speed sTEAL is made with early-season teal hunting in mind.
This shotshell is available in 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge. It features a blend of plated steel shot and carefully chosen powders and protective wads. This results in a reliable shotshell that’s accurate and effective on quick-moving, close-encounter teal. Plated steel shot is currently being made in #4 and #6 so hunters can choose according to their personal preferences.
Fiocchi Flyway SpeedsTEAL is available in the following loads:
12-ga., 2 3/4-inch, 1 1/8-oz. steel, 1415 fps, #4
12-ga., 2 3/4-inch, 1 1/8-oz. steel, 1415 fps, #6
MSRP for these products is not known at this time.
Rimfire firearms are always some of my favorites. These little guns have barely any recoil, cheap ammunition, and are a ton of fun. They are great training firearms, perfect for teaching younger or less experienced shooters. Plus, they can be used for small game hunting, competition, and so much more. They are very versatile firearms and tend to be quite popular. I combed the halls of SHOT Show 2023 to find the best new rimfires for training, fun, and even hunting.
Advantage Arms P365 and Hellcat Conversions
I can cheat a little in my own article, right? I hope so because my first pick isn’t a gun but a conversion kit for the Hellcat, Glock 43X, and Sig P365 handguns. Advantage Arms kits are nothing new. They’ve been making conversions for Glocks, 1911s, and Xds for years. What’s new is that these kits are aimed at converting the most popular carry guns to .22LR for training purposes.
The new conversions are aimed at the concealed carry market.
These kits work on the Colt Ace design from decades ago. It’s a unique setup that allows shooters to practice with their actual carry guns. These kits are designed for both the normal-sized Hellcat and P365 as well as the XL and pro models of their respective guns.
These guns allow you to use your actual slide and frame. You have to swap a few small internal parts, the barrel and magazine, and bam. You have a .22LR version of your carry gun. Shooters can use the same optics, lights, lasers, or whatever with your training platform. The Advantage Arms kits should be available later this year. I can’t wait to purchase one for my Sig P365.
Diamondback Sidekick Birdshead
The Diamondback Sidekick is all kinds of weird, and the Birdshead model takes that weirdness and shrinks it. The gun has the appearance of an old cowboy revolver. Rimfire cowboy guns are quite popular, and guns like the Heritage Manufacturing Rough Rider rule the market. The Diamondback Sidekick Birdshead looks like a cowboy gun but is far from one.
It’s a bizarre revolver, but a fun one. This is a nine-shot revolver that easily converts from 22 Magnum to .22LR. It features a double-action trigger mechanism and a swing-out cylinder. This allows for faster reloads and breaks the cowboy mold. Historically, double-action revolvers like the Colt Lightning existed in the old cowboy days, but swing cylinders weren’t around back then.
The Birdshead is odd but a lot of fun to shoot. There is hardly any recoil to the gun, and it’s quite accurate. At Range Day, I was pinging targets out to 25 yards easily and consistently. The double-action trigger is pretty dang sweet. This is a totally fun gun, and fun guns are my favorite.
Taurus TX 22 Compact
The Taurus TX 22 lineup has been quite popular. What started as a modern rimfire semi-auto pistol has evolved into an entire series of firearms. The latest is the TX 22 compact rimfire semi-auto pistol. The barrel is 3.6 inches long, and the gun itself is a hair under seven inches long overall. It holds ten rounds in a grip just long enough to fill my entire hand.
The TX 22 Compact was a blast at the range and is a modern rimfire pistol.
The slide features an optics cut, and Taurus is packaging the guns with Riton optics in some packages. The TX 22 is very light at only 16 ounces total and handles very nicely. At range day, the little gun proved to be a light-recoiling, reliable weapon that was quite accurate. The gun’s grip is quite ergonomic and fits the hand well. The TX 22 Compact reminds me of a little bulldog.
The TX 22 Compact could be a plinker, a steel challenge pistol, a training tool, or even a defensive pistol. Using .22LR for self-defense isn’t the best option, but if you cannot possibly handle anything bigger, then the TX 22 offers a lightweight, concealable weapon for that purpose.
Chiappa Little Badger TDX
The Chiappa Little Badger series were these minimalist, single-shot, folding rifles with an industrial edge to them that made them quite unique and rather handy as dedicated bug-out guns. I have owned one for years, and I’m excited to see the latest model, the Takedown Extreme. The TDX, for short, is a single-shot, 22LR rifle that has the same industrial appearance as the original Little Badger.
It’s a couple of tubes turned into a gun.
The TDX doesn’t just fold in half. It breaks down into two pieces to form an ultra-light, ultra-compact rifle that’s easily stowed and carried in a backpack, messenger bag, or whatever. Chiappa even includes a pill-shaped plastic cylinder to carry the TDX in. It’s as light and minimalist as a rifle can get and still fairly functional.
The sights are M1 Carbine style peep sights, and a quad rail outfits the rifle for adding a red dot, mini light, or whatever. Like the original Little Badger, a spare round holder allows you to pack a few extra rounds on the gun. This little rifle is also dang low and plenty of fun for the price.
JR-15
When it comes to young shooters, the .22LR is the way to go. The little noise and recoil make it a natural draw for shooters of all ages. Wee 1 Tactical designed the JR-15 with the Junior shooter in mind. This is a blowback rimfire rifle dressed up to look like an AR-15 but scaled down about 20% to better fit the smaller frame of younger shooters. The JR-15 mocks up an AR from top to bottom, well, mostly.
Look at how cute they are.
The rifle has an M-LOK rail, an optic rail, a detachable magazine, and a seven-position stock. It’s super tiny and absolutely adorable. The gun weighs about 2.5 pounds and is small all the way around. The gun feeds from magazines that look identical to AR mags but are scaled down to fit the JR-15. The little rifle does feature a slightly different safety that is impossible to accidentally swap to fire. It’s a smart move for a kid’s rifle.
The gun is a bit small for me but still fairly fun to shoot. It’s downright adorable. Wee 1 provides five and ten-round magazines as well as a one-round magazine. One round is great for new shooters and helps minimize safety issues. It’s a clever little rifle, and Wee 1 is also producing a mini AK in the near future.
Click, Click, Pow
Everyone needs a rimfire weapon. In fact, you might need several rimfire weapons. Rimfire handguns and rifles are a ton of fun and allow you to shoot and practice on a tight budget. SHOT 2023 showed us a wide variety of rimfire rifles, some designed for young shooters, others designed for training, and others designed as a bug-out rifles for hunting small game. These are varied and versatile guns that can fit a wide variety of roles.
These are my favorite new rimfires. What are yours? Let us know below.
Palmetto State Armory, the South Carolina-based purveyor of firearm parts and accessories, has expanded its offerings by showing off its AKS-74U style pistols at SHOT Show 2023. These Krinkov style pistols are chambered in 5.45x39mm and 5.56x45mm in addition to .300BLK and 7.62x39mm in the future.
Palmetto State Armory has expanded its offerings to include a Krinkov-style pistol in the AKS-74U. Available in different calibers, the AKS-74U will be assembled in-house by PSA and is said to be out by summer 2023. (Photo credit: TFB)
The Palmetto State Armory, or PSA, version of the AKS-74U will be made entirely in-house and will be available by summer 2023. The PSA Krinkovs have a bolt carrier group and trunnions machined from forgings. Additionally, the PSA AKS-74U will have polymer furniture but is said to accept most of the aftermarket Krinkov furniture.
PSA offers the Krinkovs with an 8.3” barrel in three very different versions: a button rifled and nitride option, PSA cold hammer forged with chrome lining, and an FN cold hammer forged and chrome lined. Each barrel is threaded at the muzzle in a metric 24×1.5, which is said to be identical to the original AKS-74U. Additionally, the pistols will come from PSA with a Krinkov-styled flash hider or booster installed.
The PSA Krinkovs also have a 4.5mm side folding trunnion and are said to come with braces. But, given the state of ATF rulings, if the pistol stabilizing braces are to be considered stocks, PSA will ship the AKS-74Us with a rear Picatinny rail adapter instead. Rounding out the features for the AKS-74U from PSA is a hinged top cover that has a rear iron sight installed, an index finger shelf on the safety lever, and a side scope rail.
No official word on pricing just yet, but the Palmetto State Armory AKS-74U style pistols can be seen at SHOT Show booth 15249.
The M1 Garand is an all-American rifle and the 30-06 Springfield cartridge it fires is an all-American martial and big-game hunting round. But shooting commercial 30-06 ammunition through an M1 can be risky business. The M1’s action has ample strength to fire most of what you can find, but feeding and longevity are another matter. Without tinkering with an adjustable gas piston plug, some commercial loads run fine, others are too weak to cycle the action, while others can bend the operating rod over a prolonged period.
In the heyday of the M1 rifle, the CMP recommended ammunition with pressures not exceeding 50,000 CUP. Unfortunately, with common hunting loadings varying from 110-grain varmint loads to 220-grain moose-mashers, pressures vary as does the functionality in the M1.

For maximum reliability with the least amount of guesswork, loadings that approximate the original 150-grain M2 ball ammunition. But you don’t have to dig up old Korean War surplus or load your own ammunition in order to enjoy shooting the old M1 Garand. At Shot Show 2023, Winchester added their name to the list of those producing quality M2 ball ammunition optimized for the M1 rifle. Available in twenty-round boxes, Winchester’s 30-06 M2 load uses a 150-grain full-metal-jacket spitzer bullet with an advertised velocity of 2740 feet per second to approximate the same load that saw millions of American servicemen through decades of conflict.
Winchester’s reintroduced M2 ball load is a welcomed addition to M1, M1903, and M1917 shooters, as well as for anyone looking for a practice round no less than a 30-06.
Terril is an economic historian with a penchant for all things firearm related. Originally a pot hunter hailing from south Louisiana, he currently covers firearms and reloading topics in print and on his All Outdoors YouTube page. When he isn’t delving into rimfire ballistics, pocket pistols, and colonial arms, Terril can be found perfecting his fire-starting techniques, photographing wildlife, and getting lost in the archives.
With SHOT Show 2023 winding down, one company has been getting some serious buzz with a few of its firearms. Stevens by Savage line of firearms got plenty of expansion, specifically the 334 rifles and the 560 shotguns. The Stevens by Savage line is built in Turkey under Savage’s steering, giving a wallet-friendly price point.
Stevens by Savage 334 Rifles
The Savage Stevens Model 334 is a centerfire bolt-action hunting rifle available in two different models and three calibers. Available in some of the more popular hunting calibers, the model 334 has a two-stage adjustable trigger along with a three-position safety and three-round drop-box magazine.
Stevens by Savage has expanded its offerings to include the Model 334 rifle, available in three caliber options. The rifles have two packages to choose from (synthetic stock or Turkish walnut stock) and have a bargain price of under $500. (Photo credit: Savage Arms)
The Model 334 features a free-floating and button-rifled nonthreaded carbon steel barrel with an 11-degree target crown. The rifle also features a 60-degree bolt throw for faster cycling and better scope clearance. The matte black carbon steel receiver is drilled and tapped with the standard Savage 110 spacing with a steel Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny rail, leaving lots of options for aftermarket optics.
The Stevens Model 334 also has sling studs and a black rubber recoil pad that come standard. The Model 334 is available chambered in .243 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Win. Depending on which variant of the model is chosen, the barrel is either 20 or 22 inches long. With the caliber options, consumers can choose between a black synthetic stock or a Turkish walnut stock.
The Stevens Model 334 rifle starts at $389 for the synthetic stock and $489 for the walnut.
Stevens Model 560 Shotgun
Joining the other Stevens shotguns in the bargain market is the Model 560 Field shotgun. This 12-gauge shotgun is a semi-auto that is also made in Turkey under Savage’s guidance.
The Model 560 is chambered in 3-inch and is gas-driven with a reported capability of handling both 2.75 and 3-inch shells. These shotguns feature a Turkish walnut stock and forend with a lightweight aluminum alloy receiver.
Stevens by Savage also added another shotgun to its family with the Model 560. This 12-gauge shot is chambered for 3″ shells and has a 5+1 capacity. It has a Turkish walnut stock and forend and either a 26″ or 28″ barrel. [Photo credit: Savage Arms]
The Model 560 shotgun is available in two different variants, one with a 28” barrel while the other has a 26” barrel, with both hard chrome lined and a matte black finish. Both shotgun options have a 5+1 capacity load and standard trigger-guard safety. Outside the barrel is a ventilated rib that has a fiber optic front sight and a mid-bead rear sight to match.
The Model 560 shotguns come from the factory with three chokes (IC, IM, and F) and oversized controls. Either variant has the same price tag of $499.

Well-made, properly designed weapon-mounted lights are a must for handgunners, and one company leading the pack in their production is Nightstick. Now there are even more options available from Nightstick thanks to the launch of several new models including the TCM-365, TCM-5B, and TWM-30GL. The newest lights run the gamut for use from micros to full-size pistols and even include a new design for law enforcement.

The Nightstick TCM-5B and TCM-365 have similar specifications but are designed with different mounting systems. The TCM-5B is made to fit a variety of compact pistols such as the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Subcompact and Glock 43X. As for the TCM-365, it is, as the name suggests, made for the Sig Sauer P365. The two models have a variety of features, including:
Two-hour run time.
650 peak lumens.
4612 max candela.
Beam distance of 136 meters.
Runs on one CR123 battery.
Mounts to the accessory rail in front of the trigger guard.
Includes safe and strobe modes.

The TWM-30-GL was designed at the request of law enforcement. It’s meant for full-sized handguns and has both a light and a green laser. Green is easier to see during daylight hours and also more readily draws the eye than red, according to many studies. This light/laser combo is made to fit standard-duty holsters. The TWM-30-GL has the following features:
Designed for full-sized handguns with forward accessory rails.
Beam distance of 200 meters.
1100 peak lumens.
10,000 max candela.
1.75 hours run time.
Powered by two CR123 batteries.
