New Guns For 2026: A Full Guide
The firearms industry is gearing up for an exciting 2026, with manufacturers introducing innovative models that cater to the evolving needs of gun owners. As a licensed FFL dealer, BT Gun Company is committed to keeping our customers informed about the latest trends and offerings in the market. This year, we see a continuation of trends that have emerged over the past two years, including the rise of optics-ready handguns, threaded barrels, and enhanced features that improve performance and user experience.
Trends in the Firearms Industry
One of the most significant trends in the firearms industry is the repeal of the $200 NFA tax on suppressors, which has led to an increase in the availability of threaded barrels across various firearm models. This change has made it easier for gun owners to customize their firearms for better performance and sound suppression. Additionally, we are witnessing a surge in compact and larger personal-protection pistols that now routinely include optics cuts, allowing for the mounting of red dot sights. This trend is particularly appealing to those who prioritize accuracy and quick target acquisition.
