Here is some of today’s gun news…
Purple Neos
Davidson’s announced they are now shipping an exclusive purple and black Beretta U22 Neos pistol. The new guns use purple inserts in the grip and an anodized purple finish on the gun’s top rail.
I understand that purple is not for everyone, but expanding the firearms color palette is a great way to give people a more personalized choice in arms. Sure, Henry Ford sold a lot of black Model T cars, but today you can get a Mustang in eight colors other than black from the factory. Consumers like options, and not every gun owner wants black and/or stainless.

HSM .257 Weatherby Magnum Loads
Hunting Shack Munitions (HSM) announced they are now selling a new .257 Weatherby Magnum load. The ammo uses a 115 grain Berger VLD bullet that makes for more than 3,300 fps from a 24″ rifle barrel (not a test barrel.) According to the company, the bullet is designed to penetrate approximately 2-4″ and then fragment to anchor the animal.
HSM states the primers and powder are temperature insensitive and provide consistent ignition and burn rates from -30° F to 130° F. According to the company, the brass cases are suitable for multiple reloads.
