American Tactical Introduces the Calvary 3B Triple Barrel Shotgun

Wednesday, February 18th, 2026

Summerville, SC – American Tactical proudly announces the arrival of the Cavalry 3B™ Triple Barrel Shotgun, a break-open 12-gauge that redefines expectations with its striking three-barrel configuration and refined aesthetic. Designed to be both a functional workhorse and a standout centerpiece, the Cavalry 3B delivers innovation, reliability, and undeniable “wow” factor in one commanding platform.

A Design That Breaks the Mold

The Cavalry 3B isn’t your typical shotgun. Featuring an 18.5-inch or 20-inch triple-barrel configuration, this uniquely engineered firearm pairs bold performance with timeless styling. Elegant walnut furniture complements a black or silver receiver adorned with intricate scroll engraving, creating a classic look with a modern edge.

As a break-open action shotgun, the 3B maintains mechanical simplicity and rugged durability, all while offering an eye-catching profile that immediately distinguishes it from traditional single- or double-barrel designs. In addition, the Trigger Housing drops out for easy cleaning and maintenance. 

Triple-Barrel Performance

Chambered in 12-gauge and capable of accepting up to 3½” Magnum shells, the Cavalry 3B offers exceptional versatility across a wide range of loads. Its preset firing sequence—Lower Right barrel first, followed by Left, then Top—provides three ready shots in a consistent, predictable cadence.

By combining triple-shot capability with the legendary reliability of a break-action system, the 3B eliminates the mechanical complexity of semi-automatic platforms while still delivering rapid follow-up shots when needed.

Built for Versatility and Comfort

FN Expands 502 Series with California Compliant Offering

Wednesday, January 21st, 2026

(McLean, VA — January 20, 2026) FN America, LLC is pleased to announce the expansion of its .22LR offerings with the all-new California compliant version of the FN 502® MRD. Featuring a 10-round magazine and California compliant magazine disconnect, the new version of the FN 502 MRD meets requirements for sale in the Golden State and is officially on the roster for purchase.

Originally launched in 2021, the FN 502 lineup includes the FN 502 Tactical, the FN 502 MRD and now the California-compliant version of the FN 502 MRD. The series is purpose-built for all-day range days. It’s designed with a best-in-class, hammer-fired trigger for consistent accuracy; an industry-first, optics-ready slide; and proven, textured grip for complete control.

“The FN 502 platform was designed to give shooters a professional range-day shooting experience in a rimfire pistol, and now we have extended that opportunity to California residents,” said Dan Hines, Vice President Commercial and Law Enforcement for FN America. “The FN 502 delivers FN quality and reliability in a rimfire pistol that is great for training, plus cost-effective and fun to shoot.”

The hammer-fired FN 502, with its best-in-class single-action trigger, performs like a robust-style target pistol, delivering fast, accurate rounds on target with more versatility than any other rimfire on the market. It offers superior ergonomics inspired by the grip profile of the FN 509 family of pistols and delivers the perfect balance between slide and frame along with fully ambidextrous controls.

The FN 502 MRD shares the same optics mounting system as the Tactical model that was inspired by FN’s patented Low-Profile Optics-Mounting System™. Compatible with multiple micro red dot optics, users are able to swap out the MRD insert plates with integrated sights depending on their optic of choice and be ready for a fun-filled range day within minutes.

“When we first started the development of the FN 502 platform, our goal was to up the ante for quality and versatility in a new rimfire pistol, applying our expertise in factory milled optics-ready slides and professional-quality triggers,” said Chris Johnson, Senior Product Manager for Pistols for FN America. “With the FN 502 MRD we have a trustworthy, range ready .22LR pistol that’s perfect for training and now available for purchase in California.”

The FN 502 MRD ships with two 10-round flush-fit magazines along with the necessary plates to mount compatible micro red dot optics. Due to its similarity in muzzle and trigger guard dimensions to the FN 509, the FN 502 MRD will fit in most FN 509 holsters.

The pistol will debut in the FN Booth (Booth 12805) at the 2026 NSSF SHOT Show, January 20–23 in Las Vegas.

Savage Arms Unveils the Next Generation of the Historic Model 110

Monday, January 19th, 2026

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – January 16, 2026 – Savage Arms®, an iconic firearm manufacturer, has announced a new era of its legacy Model 110. The new chapter of this platform features 16 purpose-built models and spans hundreds of new SKUs, including new cartridge offerings and left-hand models.

The Legacy

The Model 110, introduced in 1958, holds the distinction of being the longest continuously produced bolt-action rifle in America. Designed by Nicholas L. Brewer, it was initially chambered in .30-06 Springfield and .270 Winchester, offering hunters a robust, yet affordable option, priced at just $109.75 when it was introduced. Over the years, the Model 110 has continued to evolve, introducing innovations such as the AccuTrigger™, AccuFit™ and AccuStock™ systems, enhancing its performance and user customization.

“The 110 is our longest standing rifle, and for good reason,” said Beth Shimanski, Vice President of Marketing at Savage Arms. “This model has helped make Savage Arms what it is today, and it will be a part of the future of Savage for a very long time. Building on the next evolution of AXIS that was launched in 2024, the new era of the 110 exemplifies Savage’s ability to maintain our standing as a heritage brand while staying at the forefront of innovation.”

The New Era

The upgraded platform features the all-new AccuFit V2™, powered by the Quick Set Dial (QSD system, which makes quick adjustments effortless. The integrated, toolless design lets you fine-tune your length of pull and comb height at any time. No hassle, no tools. Fit for you, giving you confidence in every shot. Some models will also offer users the option to change their pistol grip size. Options in small, medium and large grip modules make this stock truly fit for anyone.

The redesigned stock, inspired by the modern shape popularized on the Axis line-up, features a high cheek piece and steep grip angle, enhancing both aesthetics and ergonomics

Manufacturing advancements include a “vertical cut” process in the receiver’s bolt travel, resulting in a smoother and more precise bolt action. The bolt head now features an improved extractor claw for better case contact, complemented by a dual ejector system to ensure reliable ejection.

A new synthetic magazine, compatible with older 110 models, offers improved feeding and handling. The second-generation AccuTrigger™ has been refined to prevent lock-up on the AccuRelease™ blade if the trigger weight is set too light, while retaining its ease of adjustment and crisp break.
