The annual Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show is once again in the books. And by all accounts, it was another raging success. The AO team was in attendance for this year’s festivities and scavenged the nearly 14 miles worth of aisles. We found the latest and most noteworthy in guns, ammo, and accessories being displayed by the industry’s biggest names. Check out some of the best in the April-May 2023 issue of Personal Defense World.
Personal Defense World April-May 2023
Speaking of big names, the folks over at Beretta took advantage of the Las Vegas buzz and launched their new 80X Cheetah two days prior to SHOT. After taking just one look at it we knew it had to be this issue’s main cover gun.
It’s a sexy little .380 ACP carry semi-auto that gives concealed carry practitioners a hefty 10+1 or 12+1 payload. Likewise, it is especially good for those who can’t effortlessly handle the bigger boomers. Fred Mastison was in attendance for the launch event and offers up his full in-depth test & evaluation on it in this issue.
In addition to the latest from Beretta, we’re also discussing how POF-USA breaks the lever-action mold with its wild Tombstone. Also, Smith & Wesson is proving size doesn’t matter with the CSX. Additionally, the Girsan MC28 SA is delivering more value and performance than you would expect.
