The introduction of a new product at NRAAM is usually conducted with great fanfare. What may turn out to be the one of the most important debuts of 2026 came in the form of an email, followed by the display of samples at the Glock booth. The Austrian titan just a few months ago had seized the industry’s attention with the introduction of the Gen 6 Glocks.

When Smith & Wesson closed its Springfield, Mass., based academy in 2017, it appeared that a chapter in the company’s history was coming to a close. For nearly 50 years, the Academy had trained law enforcement and civilians at the location, but in the waning years, civilian training had been phased out and the facility was used mainly for law enforcement training and the occasional IDPA competition. I had the good fortune to attend a Smith & Wesson product launch that included some instruction at the old Academy shortly before it closed, and recently found myself in Maryville, Tenn., to…

When an armed citizen took his Glock out of a safe in his vehicle and engaged an active murderer on May 11, 2026, on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Mass., (a major roadway along the Charles River near Boston), he likely saved a lot of lives. The civilian, who reportedly had served as a Marine and was a licensed concealed carrier in the state, heroically engaged the gunman from cover. The would-be murderer shot at this armed citizen who has decided to keep his name out of the press. His car ended up with several bullet holes in it, but he…
