The New Guns And Gear:
Heritage Manufacturing Roscoe Revolvers
Have the hankering to carry noir, but not break the bank on a classic, collectible snub-nosed revolver? If so, then it’s high time to check out Heritage Manufacturing and it’s freshly minted and aptly named Roscoe revolvers. The .38 specials are available in 3-inch barrel and true snubby 2-inch barrel configurations and come dripping with retro style. Especially appreciated are the hard-wood rounded grips, dark finish and throwback lines that bring to mind the S&W 36. The guns are outfitted with a frame rear sight, ramp front sight and six-round cylinders.
MSRP: $364
Colt Kodiak
Colt revolvers have made the jump from serpentine to ursine with the release of its Kodiak .44 Magnum. With a robust revolver design, the hand cannon is tuned to take on the most demanding hunting conditions you can seek out. Combining classic style with advanced features, the Kodiak offers an ergonomic design and recoil-absorbing Hogue OverMolded grips, interchangeable with Colt Python and Anaconda models. Its one-piece full lug, ventilated rib stainless steel barrel is ported for enhanced muzzle control and shooting stability. Key specifications include a six-round capacity, stainless-steel frame, double- and single-action trigger, red ramp front sight, adjustable target rear sight and an unloaded weight of 48.5 ounces.
MSRP: $1,599
Colt Grizzly
The Kodiak isn’t the only bear on the prowl in Colt’s catalog. Released simultaneously was the Grizzly, a .357 Magnum revolver blending timeless craftsmanship with modern enhancements for backcountry hunters. The polished stainless-steel frame features a matte top rib for optimal sight acquisition, while the smooth, un-fluted cylinder adds robustness and the ergonomic Hogue OverMolded rubber grips absorb recoil, ensuring comfort. Key specifications include a six-round capacity, adjustable target rear sight, red ramp front sight, double/single-action trigger and an unloaded weight of 41.1 ounces.
MSRP: $1,599
Fiocchi Hyperformance Hunt Handgun Ammo
Fiocchi, renowned for defensive, target and hunting ammunition, has turned its attention to handgun hunters with its Hyperformance Hunt Handgun ammo. This new line maintains the high standards of Fiocchi’s Hyperformance centerfire cartridges, featuring precision-formed brass cases, clean-burning primers and carefully measured powder charges for superior accuracy and reliability. Designed for no-fail terminal performance, these cartridges utilize the Barnes XPB bullet, a monolithic copper hollow-point known for its devastating expansion, weight retention and deep penetration. Available in .357 Magnum, 10mm Auto, .44 Magnum and .45 Long Colt, the Hyperformance Hunt Handgun ammo is offered in 25-round boxes.
MSRP: N/A
Taurus 692 Executive Grade
Designed for the discerning revolver enthusiast, the Taurus 692 Executive Grade offers a touch of class wrapped up with hard-hitting performance. The revolver features a custom hand-tuned trigger for exceptional precision, a quick-change cylinder system for seamless transitions between 9mm and .357 Magnum, and a ported barrel to reduce recoil for enhanced control. The target barrel, paired with a brass front sight, ensures pinpoint accuracy. Assembled in a dedicated production area, it boasts a hand-polished satin finish and a luxurious checkered walnut grip. The 692 Executive Grade includes two cylinders (.357 Magnum/.38 Special +P and 9mm) for versatile shooting scenarios.
MSRP: $1,107
Galco Revenger Belt Holster
The Galco Revenger Belt Holster, part of Galco’s Masterbilt series, might be the best of both worlds. The all-leather hanger is designed for everyday carry guns but is more than suited for elegant special-occasion revolvers. This premier-grade holster is crafted from a fully lined premium steerhide, offering hand-molded detail for secure retention and an attractive appearance. Its smooth leather lining enhances tactile feedback and protects delicate finishes. The near-neutral cant allows for a fast, wrist-locked draw stroke, while a reinforced opening facilitates easy, one-handed re-holstering. The metal-reinforced tunnel-style belt loop ensures rigidity, and the trailing belt slot aids in concealing larger revolvers. Additionally, a molded sight rail prevents snagging during the draw.
MSRP: $259
Smith & Wesson Limited-Release, Jerry Miculek-Inspired M327
Smith & Wesson announces the limited-release Performance Center Model 327 WR, inspired by legendary shooter Jerry Miculek. This lightweight 9mm revolver features a scandium N-Frame and titanium cylinder for rapid target transitions. It includes a brass bead front sight, adjustable rear sight, Vortex CompDot and C.O.R.E. optic-plate system. Plus, the JM Signature laminated wood grip ensures optimal ergonomics.
