Guns & Ammo Buzz: BEST OF THE 2025 SHOT SHOW

Following the 2025 NSSF SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Guns & Ammo’s editors reflect on reports from the Range Day, after-dark parties, and identify the most talked about new handguns, rifles, cartridges, and optics. Points of conversation focus on Budget Guns, Lever Action Rifles, and Thermal Optics. Don’t miss several innovations including the Silencer Central Banish 9K suppressor, Aimpoint COA and A-Cut optic-mounting footprint, the EOTech VUDU Compact 3-9X scope, Federal 7mm Backcountry, Hornady .338 ARC, Winchester .21 Sharp, Ruger RXM 9mm pistol, double-stack 2011-style pistols, KelTec PR57, and the Henry Supreme in .223 or .300 Blackout. The year 2024 was a tough year, financially, for the firearm industry. Do these new products reflect an optimistic outlook for 2025?

This episode of Guns & Ammo’s “The Buzz” podcast features a conversation between Editor-in-Chief Eric Poole, Managing Editor Jack Oller, Rifles & Optics Editor Tom Beckstrand, and Handgun Editor James Tarr.
