In 2017, Mossberg announced the release of its unique 590 Shockwave, a shortened, shotshell-firing “firearm,” per ATF, that did not require regulation under the National Firearms Act. The Shockwave was shorter than traditional shotguns and did not use a shoulder stock, but it still maintained the 590’s pump-action mechanism. In 2025, Mossberg added to the category with its 990 Aftershock, which uses a semi-automatic operating mechanism while still maintaining a compact form factor. Watch our “American Rifleman Television: Rifleman Review” segment above to see the details. “Again, it’s a firearm by ATF definition,” American Rifleman’s Brian Sheetz said. “It’s greater…

There’s accumulating guns—and then there’s collecting. The thing that distinguishes the latter from the former is that there’s generally a theme to a collection. It’s not that one’s better than the other, and there’s often a fair bit of overlap, but collectors generally have a running list in their head of desired acquisitions; the next “Grail gun” to add to the safe, if you will. This used to be more difficult in the olden times. However, along came the various web forums, whether brand-centric, themed around a certain type of shooting sport or hunting or specific to a state or…

00:00:01 Speaker 1: Who gets to be a native resident of any place is always up for debate, But for the past half century, two movements, bioregionalism and rewilding have offered a new possibility. I’m Dan Flores, and this is the American West becoming natives of place in the American West. We’ve all seen them everywhere in the West, those bumper stickers on the nether end of a towering ram or ford one pickup proclaiming the driver is a native. As to where the attachment applies, it’s almost always to a state Colorado, Montana, Arizona, Idaho that’s barely existed much…

Ask a half dozen hunters what makes the perfect UTV setup, and you’ll get six different answers. None of them are wrong.The UTV that hauled me around the Idaho mountains chasing bugling bull elk looked a lot different than the rig I use to hunt the soggy river bottoms back home in eastern North Carolina.Out west, a hunting rig needs to handle long climbs and steep terrain. At home, it’s more about mud, thick brush, and hauling deer. If it’s duck season, it might also end up loaded with decoys and an impatient retriever. And that’s the thing about building…

Taurus took the concept of a revolver that chambered both shotgun and centerfire cartridges and ran with it when the company introduced the original Judge in 2006. Over the past two decades, Judge models have remained popular, and the company has continued to add new variants and features to the lineup. Not content to merely mark the gun’s 20th anniversary with a special engraved edition, Taurus is also introducing a Judge in updated form. The new Taurus Judge is still a five-shot revolver that chambers both handgun and shotgun cartridges. The new Judge has a re-contoured frame, barrel and cylinder.…

On a recent ride to the grocery store, I pointed out a flock of geese to my daughters. My five-year-old piped up and told me she wanted to shoot one of them with her bow. I didn’t point out the legal or logistical barriers to her endeavor, but I did feel a huge sense of pride welling up. I knew it was a sign that maybe I was doing something right.If you have a family or little ones, you know how challenging it can be to balance life and hunting. Joining the two naturally makes sense. While there’s a fine…

History repeats itself because mankind rarely pays attention to its own past. A quick look at the calendar recently revealed the fourth anniversary of the full-scale war in Ukraine. Since the Russian invasion in late February 2022, we’ve witnessed the largest military action in Europe since World War II. The scale of the destruction and the casualty numbers are staggering. Nearly 1.2 million Russian troops have been killed or wounded, along with more than 500,000 Ukrainian. Civilian casualties in Ukraine have reached 60,000. Sadly, the end does not appear to be in sight. Almost 90 years ago, Europe hosted a…
