From range toy to home defense, and from competition shooting to truck guns, large-format AR pistols in 9mm are as fun as they are practical. GForce Arms’ Jawbone is one of the latest models worth considering. The PCC is compatible with 9mm Glock-pattern magazines, features a 5-inch barrel and an Ace of Brace paddle pistol brace. The safety, magazine release and charging handle are all ambidextrous as well, and the M-Lok handguard and full-length Picatinny rail make customization a breeze.
MSRP: $439

Henry has just made training your youngins an even safer and easier process with its new, upgraded Mini Bolt Youth G2 rifle. The small, lightweight single-shot bolt-action in .22 LR boasts a few simple improvements that make it a perfect fit for kids … while giving added control and peace of mind to instructors. Namely, an integrated feed ramp is now built into the receiver, and the cocking knob is exposed. The exposed knob provides instructors with a visual indicator to check the status of the rifle while adding another step to the firing process, helping to slow down training and ensure that every shot is carefully considered. The Mini Bolt Youth G2 features a durable synthetic stock and is available in either classic black or Muddy Girl camo.
MSRP: $335

The company recently released an M-Lok handguard designed specifically for S&W’s .44 Magnum lever gun, and it’s as functional as it is good-looking.

Better yet, it ships with all the hardware you need to mount it yourself.
