Kim du Toit reviews the Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine.

GunBlast reviews the new Stevens side-by-side 12 gauge, Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum, Kimber A-22, and the Kel-Tec P3AT, the world's lightest .380. I have a pump 12 gauge, but I'm hankering for a side-by-side, too. Either an English sports model with hidden hammers, or a lupara with exposed hammers. As Jeff Cooper notes, a model with exposed hammers can be left loaded with all of the springs at rest, like a revolver.

Chuck Hawks has a bunch of new articles, including reviews of the Ruger Old Army cap and ball revolver, the new S&W .500 Magnum cartridge, Remington 673 Guide Rifle, and Uberti New Model Army 1858 cap and ball revolver. Those are just the new reviews. Browse through the firearms section of his site and look for the "new" icon to find all of the articles he's uploaded recently. Chuck and his contributors have been whittling their pencils to stubs.

Guns & Ammo reviews the Kahr PM9, CZ P-01, three Para-Ordnance LDA models, Benelli shotguns, and Ithaca's new slug gun that's probably more accurate than any slug gun before it.
