One of the dominating trends in the firearms industry for the last decade has been red dots on handguns. If we narrow our focus to trends in 2026, then we absolutely need to mention the growing adoption of the Aimpoint COA, an enclosed emitter red dot built for harsh duty use. What does “COA” stand for? Nobody knows… internet lore says possibly Closed Optic Assembly while others argue Combo A-Cut (referring to the slide cut required to mount this optic).

The Interservice Rifle Competition has been sorting out the best rifle shots in the U.S. military for 65 years, and the 65th edition at Weapons Training Battalion, Marine Corps Base Quantico, showed the standard is still climbing. TFB’s Photo Of The Day gives you some of the best images from the event.

Florida’s ban on concealed carry for adults aged 18 to 20 is gone. On June 17, 2026, the state’s Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled in Eubanks v. State  that section 790.06(2)(b), Florida Statutes, is facially unconstitutional as to young adults ages 18 to 20. That’s the provision in the licensing law that set the floor at 21. A unanimous three-judge panel said the age cutoff can’t be squared with the Second Amendment, and the state’s own Attorney General agreed.

A good bipod isn’t just about keeping the muzzle off the ground. It’s a stability system that lets a shooter manage recoil, control follow-through, and call shots with confidence. In prone, a bipod replaces the shooter’s supporting arm, freeing it for trigger control and loading. In field positions, a bipod can anchor the front of the rifle against a pack, a log, or uneven terrain where a sling or hand position won’t cut it. For hunters glassing and then transitioning to a shot, fast deployment and a wide footprint are what close the gap between a spotted animal and a clean hit.

SK Guns  has created another highly-customized and attractive firearm on the 1911 platform, and this time they are honoring and remembering 9/11 as we approach the 25th Anniversary of that iconic day. The Limited-Edition and Custom Commander 1911 9mm will show a depiction of the Twin Towers, an engraving of “25 Years of Remembrance,” and a lot more inscriptions to commemorate that day.
