Guns 2026
Given recent economic uncertainty in the form of inflation and
tariffs, retailers should not be surprised that manufacturers
in many cases are relying on line extensions this year.
By Eve Flanigan
Over the past year firearm manufacturers have faced robust headwinds created by inflationary pressures and tariffs. As a result, in some cases new models have been put on hold until conditions improve; in other cases, manufacturers have relied on a tried-and-true formula: line extensions. In this way, a manufacturer can issue a “new” gun without the R&D expense of a whole new model line. Retailers, too, have experienced these heavy seas, and after enduring a year of slower sales many have adopted a “wait-and-see” attitude, hoping for clearer weather in the year to come.
Rifles
Bergara
Built entirely with carbon technology through an advanced autoclave curing process that extends from the stock to the barrel, the Bergara Premier CIMA Pro achieves an exceptional balance between strength and weight, ensuring rigidity, consistency, and lasting reliability. Premium components, such as the TriggerTech trigger and the newly designed bidirectional muzzle brake, help CIMA PRO deliver precision and control with every shot.
Other features include a sub-MOA guarantee, Cerakote finish over stainless steel, trigger guard with release button, adjustable L.O.P., fluted bolt, and integrated sling swivel mounts. The rifle is available in .223 Rem., 7mm Rem. Mag., 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win., 6.5 PRC, .300 Win. Mag., .270 Win., .300 PRC, and 7mm PRC.
CVA
The CVA Endura series is the next generation of muzzleloading performance, purpose-built for hunters who demand long-range accuracy, modern design, and versatility in the field. Both the Endura LRH and Endura Pro are CVA’s first muzzleloaders rated for use with either Blackhorn 209 or specifically recommended modern smokeless rifle powders.
The Endura is outfitted with a tungsten-lined breech plug because of the additional pressures and higher burn rates that the rifle can accommodate. A magnetic bolt face consisting of five magnets helps retain the Variflame adapters, both before and after firing. (Variflame is CVA’s ignition system that uses large-rifle primers that can either be placed on the bolt face or directly on the breech plug.) A large ejection port is specifically designed to deliver enough room to place the Variflame directly on the breech plug or bolt face. It is also large enough to remove the Variflame with or without a magnetic extractor tool.
The barrel is fluted for weight reduction and threaded (to easily attach CVA’s SP muzzle brake, which is sold separately).
Long-range stocks are another feature of this model. The Endura LRH is equipped with a stock that is rigid, adjustable, and well balanced. The Endura Pro sports a Grayboe Eagle Pro Stock that balances long-range features with a hunter-friendly design. Both the Endura LRH and Endura Pro include nitride and Cerakote treatments on the barreled actions, and both models include premium adjustable triggers that can be adjusted between two to four pounds. Each model is drilled and tapped for open sights and comes with CVA’s accuracy and satisfaction guarantee.
The Cascade Rimfire is a Spanish-designed bolt-action .22 LR with an 18-inch threaded barrel (1/2x28). Each rifle also ships with an installed two-piece Picatinny rail and feeds from a CVA 10-round rotary magazine, compatible with standard 10/22 magazines.
Three models are available. The Cascade Rimfire (base model) features a blued barrel with a color-molded gray stock. SRP: $429. The Cascade Rimfire XT features a fluted barrel with a tungsten Cerakote finish and a painted green stock with black fleck. SRP: $489. The Cascade Rimfire Classic combines traditional styling with performance, featuring a blued barreled action and a standard-grade Turkish walnut stock. SRP: $559.
Franchi
Franchi has built a solid reputation in the bolt-action hunting world with its standout Momentum series. Adding to the several variations of the purpose-driven Momentum rifles is an all-new carbine series called the Momentum Utility Lite Elite, or simply “The M.U.L.E.” Franchi bills this a workhorse of a rifle in the spirit of a go-anywhere, do-anything scout rifle. Offered in .308 Win. and .223 Rem., the new M.U.L.E. is a companion carbine perfectly suited for the truck, UTV, everyday carry around the homestead, and home defense. Sporting a 16.25-inch barrel and dressed in VEIL TAC Black and Graphite Black Cerakote, the M.U.L.E. carries light at a little over seven pounds and has an overall length of 38.35 inches. The rifle comes with flip-up adjustable sights for those who wish to keep weight down and hosts a threaded muzzle for easy suppressor or muzzle-device adaptation. Magazine capacity is 8+1 for the .308 Win. and 10+1 for the .223 Rem. SRP: $1,549.
Answering consumer demand for today’s hottest new cartridges, Franchi is also adding two new chamberings to its Momentum-series bolt-action rifles. First up, the Momentum Elite (22-inch barrel) and the Momentum Carbine Elite (18-inch barrel) are now chambered for the up-and-coming .400 Legend straightwall cartridge. Aimed at Midwestern hunters hemmed in by cartridge restrictions, these two rifles carry the same premium features and quality construction that defines the Momentum series and are offered in optimally matched camo patterns—Franchi Biome, which favors thick, close-quarter, and Franchi Terra, perfect for more open country and tree or box stands. Next, the Momentum Elite Varmint is now available in .22 ARC. The Momentum Elite Varmint, with its 20-inch barrel and 1 MOA accuracy guarantee is the ideal platform for this spicy new round. Available in Franchi Verdant camo. SRP: $959 - $1,299.
Ruger
Ruger’s American Generation II line has a new Patrol model. These bolt-action guns are currently available in three chamberings, including 5.56 NATO, 6mm ARC, and .308 Winchester. Others are in the works, specifically .338 ARC, .300 Win. Mag., and 7mm PRC. The gray splatter synthetic stock is made with desirable features like adjustable length of pull and comb height, sling studs, and a grippy texture. The action and 16.1-inch threaded bull barrel are Cerakoted for stealth and durability. A detachable magazine is included. This rifle makes for a modestly priced choice for hunting or department use. SRP: $729.
Savage Arms
Almost everyone appreciates the handiness of a .22 LR rifle, and Savage Arms has delivered more to love in their new RXR22. It’s a semi-auto with a modular twist. Accuracy is built in with a precision button-rifled 16.5-inch barrel with a recessed target crown and threaded muzzle. An integral Picatinny rail and metal sling swivel studs make accessorizing simple. Those who want to make the RXR22 theirs inside and out can opt to switch the drop-in trigger. Want convenience? The RXR22 accepts Ruger 10/22 10-round rotary mags (a stock mag is included). The factory mag holds the bolt open after the last round. Unlike the 10/22, it sports a cleaning port at the rear of the receiver, making maintenance a breeze. The synthetic stock, in FDE or gun metal gray, features a vertical pistol grip with customizable grip holds. With a modest $299 SRP, the RXR22 is bound to find friends young and old.
The Timber Tactical A Series is offered in .22 LR only, while the Timber Tactical B rifles include .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR. They are easy on the eyes with green laminate stocks and heavy, spiral-fluted threaded barrels. They accept a 10-round rotary magazine. Range-to-field convenience is enhanced by dual sling studs on the forend. A hand grip and end hook aid in handling. These rifles are made for serious rimfire action. SRP: $599.
Spandau Arms
Turkish gunmaker Spandau Arms is represented in the USA by SDS Arms. Spandau’s latest addition to the rifle category is the RL Bolt Action, currently offered only in .308 Winchester. Built around a Remington 700 short action, the base model RL features a traditional Turkish Walnut and black oxy nitride finish steel. The barrel is 20 inches long with a 1:10 twist. An AICS-style detachable magazine is included. Convenient, premium features include an oversize bolt handle and Picatinny rail on the pre-drilled receiver. Length of pull comes in at 13.97 inches. The RL is easily customizable by the consumer, but many will not find the need to add anything but an optic to make a handy, affordable hunting rifle. SRP: $799.99.
Taylor's & Co.
The TC73 lever-action rifle, chambered in 9mm, is the first firearm manufactured completely in the USA by the company using only USA-made parts. The rifle boasts high-quality fit and finish, true case coloring, and smooth lines; it also features an improved carrier block design, lightened trigger pull, hardened screws, and fully machined internal parts. A rubber butt pad and white bead front sight with a semi-buckhorn rear sight complete the finishing touches. And for the modern sportsman there is even a 5/8x24 threaded barrel. SRP: $1,999.
Tristar
TriStar offers up a new semi-auto .22 LR, called KR22. It cuts a dashing profile with a black synthetic keyhole stock, enough Picatinny rail to mount any scope, and a prominent, adjustable front sight post with a fiber optic. Handy features abound, including acceptance of 10/22 rotary magazines, an adjustable comb, sling swivel studs, and a reversible bolt. The 18.6-inch barrel is threaded. This well-appointed Turkish rifle is available to authorized TriStar retailers. SRP: $289.
Springfield Armory
Springfield Armory is launching new longer-barrel Model 2020 Heatseeker variants with 20- and and 22-inch barrels. The Model 2020 Heatseeker—originally launched last year with a 16-inch barrel—is a chassis-based rifle crafted for shooters who demand bolt-action precision and AR-style modularity in one uncompromising, suppressor-ready platform. Featuring a rugged Coyote Brown Cerakote finish, the bolt-action rifles are available in .308 Win. or 6.5 Creedmoor. The .308 Win. version is a 20-inch model; the 6.5 CM versions are offered in either 20- or 22-inch models.
All Heatseekers feature a Sharps Bros. Heatseeker chassis machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 billet aluminum for strength without bulk. The lightweight chassis includes a 14-inch free-float handguard that weighs just 10 ounces. M-LOK slots are located on all four sides of the handguard, with dual QD sling mounts on each side.
In addition, the chassis is designed with AR-style features for maximum modularity. It’s outfitted with a buffer tube extension for mounting AR-pattern stocks and is designed to accept AR-pattern pistol grips. The Model 2020 Heatseeker comes outfitted with a B5 Systems Collapsible Precision Stock (CPS) that is adjustable for both length of pull and cheek height. It also comes with a matching CPS adjustable cheek piece. A B5 Systems P-Grip 23 is also included.
Underpinning the Model 2020 Heatseeker rifles is Springfield’s custom-grade Model 2020 stainless steel action. It features dual locking lugs, a fluted bolt, and EDM raceways. Mated to the action are free-floated, carbon-fiber-wrapped barrels with muzzles threaded 5/8x24 and featuring thread-protector muzzle caps.
A TriggerTech Field Trigger, adjustable for a pull weight from 2.5 to 5 pounds, and a metal five-round AICS-pattern magazine round out the package. The result is a family of rifles featuring an impressive .75 MOA accuracy guarantee, making them ideal for demanding and serious shooters. SRP: $2,355.
Shotguns

American Tactical, Inc. has a new offering for waterfowl hunters. Their Triple Barrel is just what it sounds like, a 12-gauge break-open shotgun with three barrels featuring 3.5-inch magnum chambers. Five choke tubes are included. A silver receiver, a 26-inch ribbed blued barrel, and rich walnut furniture lend a traditional appearance that belies its firepower, at least when viewed across the marsh. SRP: 889.95.
On the tactical side of the shotgun house is their Alpha Maxx 410 AR-style pistol. It has an 8.5-inch threaded barrel and a full-length Pic rail along with polymer M-LOK.

Benelli
At Benelli, “AI” means Advanced Impact, a reference to the company’s upgraded barrel that is gracing more models in 2026. The entire Ethos Cordoba line will now feature AI barrels; selected others in the Ethos Sport and Ethos Upland line will also have AI barrels. Some Ethos models will see new sub-gauge chamberings offered. Remarkably, the new barrels and refinement of some components have resulted in a price decrease of up to $300 in some Ethos models.

Benelli’s Super Black Eagle 3 line, with the company’s Advanced Impact barrels, is adding new features and 28-gauge chambering. The new SBE3 28 gauge accepts three-inch shells.

Unchanged is the AA-grade walnut furniture and Easy-Locking Inertia Bolt and Easy-Loading system. The deep-blued gloss barrel is topped by a red-bar front sight. SRP $2,299.
The M4 EXT is the same battle-proven semi-auto M4, but now equipped with more of everything that matters—capacity, adaptability, and speed. Features include a five-position collapsible stock, oversized bolt release, integrated pistol grip, Picatinny rail mount for optics, and 7+1 capacity. Available in three finishes—H2O, FDE, and Multicam Black—the gun relies on Benelli’s trusted Auto-Regulating Gas-Operated (ARGO) system—a dual short-stroke piston design known for cycling clean across all loads, with minimal maintenance and maximum reliability.

Thinner forends, deeper checkering, and checkering that extends farther rearward, combined with a new two-piece shell latch, promise improved handling. The magazine cap and trigger guard also underwent re-design. Affinity art designs have been updated to reflect the Italian heritage of the brand. SRP $1,299-2,049.
Mossberg
The Mossberg 990 Aftershock is a 12-gauge, 3-inch semi-auto version of the 590 Shockwave pump-action shotgun. The full-featured and easy-to-maneuver platform is available with 14.75-inch or 18.5-inch-barrel options as well as a 14.75-inch version equipped with a Crimson Trace Lasersaddle.
At the heart of the 990 Aftershock is a durable gas-operating system that is fully contained within the forend. Internal parts (gas piston, magazine tube, hammer, and sear) feature a nickel-boron coating and a special finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and smooth, reliable cycling. To further improve performance, the 990 has an enlarged and beveled loading port designed for ease of loading, an elongated and pinch-free elevator, and an anodized, bright-orange follower. The oversized, ergonomic top-mounted safety can easily be operated by a left- or right-handed shooter and features a highly visible red indicator. Enhanced functionality continues with the knurled charging handle, an oversized, paddle-style bolt release, a strapped forend for a firm hold and to keep hands clear of the muzzle, and a M-LOK accessory adaptor with mounting slots on the sides and bottom attached to the extended five-shot magazine.
The black synthetic grip is uniquely shaped for an ergonomic, secure grip and features a rubberized palm pad to minimize felt recoil. A quick-detachment cup is incorporated on the rear of the grip. The matching black synthetic forend is streamlined, has an attached embossed strap, and wears Mossberg’s signature texturing—all of which combine for a more positive hold.

Spandau Arms
Spandau Arms has extended the S2 line, formerly all 12 gauge. A new 20-gauge S2 was created with hunters in mind. An active participant and sponsor in numerous American small-game and waterfowl conservation groups, Spandau Arms put their ear to the ground to develop the inertia-driven S2 with a multitude of traits hunters called for. Modest in cost and optionally traditional or modern in appearance, the new S2 is all about practicality. Features include a fiber-optic front sight, oversize controls, and a Benelli/Mobil compatible choke system.

These are complemented by the trigger, enlarged bolt release, and extended bolt handle in matte blue. The M3000 Sporting cycles 2 3/4- and 3-inch 12-gauge shotshells effortlessly and cleanly due to the Inertia Driven system. Payload management comes courtesy of extended SK1, SK2, C, IC, M, and New Style chokes. To ensure custom fitment, a drop and cast adjustment shim kit is included. SRP: $799.
Handguns
Beretta
The Beretta B22 Jaguar just may be the ultimate .22LR pistol. There are two models: the B22 Metal Competition and the B22 Tac Metal. Engineered in collaboration with the Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) and Tandemkross, the B22 Jaguar Metal Competition model is purpose-built for steel target competitions; as such, it comes equipped with premium performance upgrades to give shooters a competitive edge.
The Tandemkross Steam Demon Compensator and Accelerator Thumb Ledge dramatically reduce recoil and improve muzzle control, and an adjustable Tandemkross textured semi-flat-faced trigger enhances both feel and precision. The package includes three grip sizes for a custom fit and two 15-round magazines for extended shooting. SRP: $949.
Built around a smart, modular chassis system, the B22 Tac Metal is easy to disassemble, clean, and customize, giving the user a versatile platform.

Equipped with adjustable fiber-optic sights and a 1913 Picatinny rail, it integrates seamlessly with today’s red dots. It comes suppressor-ready out of the box with a ½”x28 threaded barrel and is available with two 15-round magazines and three grip options. SRP: $749.
Bushmaster
Bushmaster’s Bravo Zulu Pistol looks like a rifle, but is classified as a pistol and not a short-barreled rifle (the latter of which is an NFA regulated item that requires ATF approval and a tax stamp). It is now chambered in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO and .300 Blackout. Each has two SKUs that indicate inclusion of either a standard 30-round or restrictive-location 10-round mag. Their 11.5-inch threaded barrels are topped with a Snake Charmer II muzzle brake and surrounded by a M-LOK handguard. The receivers are aluminum, though each Bravo Zulu still weighs in at around six pounds. A two-stage DM2S trigger, Magpul grip, and SB Tactical SBA5 brace are all included. SRP: $1,070.95, 300BK; $937.95, .223/5.56.
Caracal USA
Caracal USA announced a late-year release of two 9mm NATO-chambered pistols called CMP9, with a nine-inch barrel, and CMP9K, with a six-inch barrel. Both accept 30-round MP5-type magazines and 2/28 pitch threaded barrels. Both also have AR/M4-style controls, but the modern features are numerous, including an ambi charging handle. There’s a generous helping of M-LOK and Picatinny rail for add-ons on a robust 7075-T6 aluminum forend. Weight is under five pounds for either model. Users can choose their own stock or brace to complement what Caracal USA promises to be a smooth-cycling shooting experience for defense or recreation. SRP for both models: $1,833.
Charter Arms
Charter Arms, a family business with manufacturing facilities in Connecticut, never fails to deliver interesting wheelgun options. Their latest, a .22 LR, is a line extension and is called Pathfinder II. The new eight-shot double/single action revolvers are offered in three finishes: stainless, black passivate, and OD green/black passivate. There’s an aluminum anodized front sight and adjustable rear sight on the 3.5-inch barrel. The grips are rubber. At 7.5 inches long and 4.25 inches tall, it sits solidly in the medium-size category, but weighs just 20 ounces. This should be a popular option for recreation and backyard varmint control, in addition to being a defensive option for those who need easier handling. SRP: $510.61.
Kimber America
Kimber America added to its Covert Double Stack (CDS) 9mm line with their CDS9 Classic. Still offered with either a 13- and 15- or 10- and 10-round magazine with pinky support, the Classic is offered in two configurations with tritium sights, with or without an optic-ready slide. Finish colors are stainless steel and black. Fully ambi controls and a flat-face trigger contribute to making the compact CDS9 Classic a truly modern single-action concealment gun. SRP: $795.
Retay USA
Engineered around an aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum-alloy internal frame and slide and housed in a polymer lower chassis, the Retay RXP22 .22LR pistol combines strength and ergonomics in a lightweight, durable package.

It includes a universal mounting plate for additional optic options. A precision-drilled, chrome-finished AISI 4140 steel barrel ensures top-tier accuracy, available in threaded or standard configurations. Additional features, such as a manual safety and an integrated accessory mount for lights or lasers, enhance functionality, all backed by a limited lifetime warranty for ultimate peace of mind. SRP: $279.
Rossi
Building on the success of the original Triple Black line, the Rossi R95 series maintains the aggressive styling and practical enhancements of its full-sized counterpart while offering increased portability and control in a pistol-length configuration. Key features include a black Cerakote finish, paracord-wrapped medium-loop lever, a threaded barrel that allows for suppressor installation, and a peep sight and Picatinny rail. Available calibers are .454 Casull, .45-70 Govt., .44 Mag., and .357 Mag. SRP: $1,273.99-$1,321.99.
Rossi is also building on the success of their RS22 rimfire rifle with the addition of the RS22, a pistol line extension. This hammer-fired semi with a cross-bolt safety ships with one 10-round magazine. The RS22 is offered alone or with an optional Strike Industries FSA brace, which attaches to a rear-facing Picatinny rail. On the front end, the RS22 has a six-inch threaded barrel and plenty of rail space above and below for optics and accessories. SRP $189.99-398.99.
Springfield Armory
In the 1911 category, Springfield Armory offers up a big one. The 1911 Operator AOS Handgun in .45 ACP has a 5.75-inch threaded barrel. The frame is forged carbon steel with black Cerakote. The G10 grip panels are also black. The safety is ambidextrous. It ships with two eight-round magazines. Total weight is a hefty 42 ounces. SRP: $1,304.
The Saint Victor pistol in 5.56mm is the newest addition to the Victor line of AR-pattern firearms. It features an 11.5-inch CMV barrel topped off with a birdcage-style flash suppressor, a full-length top Picatinny rail, and a nickel boron-coated flat trigger. Underneath the free-float handguard is a carbine-length direct gas-impingement system that ensures rock-solid reliability. The handguard features M-LOK slots for accessories, and an M-LOK handstop is included on the lower forward section of the handguard. A handy QD mount is located on the receiver end plate.
Outfitted with an SB Tactical SBA3 brace on the three-position receiver extension for enhanced stability, the pistol features a B5 Systems polymer trigger guard and B5 Systems Type 23 P-Grip as well as a 45-degree short-throw ambidextrous safety. A set of flip-up sights and one 30-round Magpul PMAG Gen M3 magazine complete the package. SRP: $1,150.
The manufacturer has also dropped a .380 ACP version of its very popular Hellcat. Officially the Hellcat Micro-Compact 3” OSP Handgun, it’s optic-ready and has a U-notch rear and tritium front sight. Capacity is 11+1 or 13+1. Just six inches long and 4 or 4.5 inches tall depending on magazine, it’s another solid choice for concealed carry. SRP: $653.
Tisas
This Turkish import (by way of SDS Arms) marks the return of a favorite, thanks to popular demand. The Tisas 1911 AI Stakeout .45 looks, at least from across the room, like the classic WW II-era sidearm. But closer inspection shows that while the profile remains true to Browning’s design, the features are ready for 21st century consumers. A Tough QPQ (quench polish quench) finish, an extended beavertail safety, rounded hammer, and brass bead front sight make the Stakeout an upgrade from grandpa’s 1911. Furthermore, it accepts 70 Series parts for post-purchase upgrades/maintenance. SRP: $565.33.
Designed for everyday carry and self-defense, the PX-9 Carry Comp delivers competition-grade features and performance in a compact offering. With ergonomic controls and various configuration options, it adapts comfortably to any hand size and shooting style. The 9mm offers consistency and reliability with a polymer-flared magazine well for quick reloads. Including 15- and 17-round 228-pattern magazines, the PX-9 Carry Comp balances concealability and control.
Built for professional use, competition, and advanced shooters, the PX-9 Tactical Comp utilizes the PX-9 series frame with a slightly longer 5.1-inch barrel for enhanced accuracy and muzzle control. This model maintains the popular features of the PX-9 Duty Comp, providing full-size capacity for highly skilled shooters. The PX-9 Tactical Comp boasts an extended aluminum magazine well, take-down lever, and magazine catch, and it includes 18- and 20-round 226-pattern magazines. SRP: $562.20, Carry Comp; $539.21, Tactical Comp.
