NRA 2026: Wild New Guns, Big Trends & Brutal Honesty

The NRA Annual Meetings 2026 in Houston delivered a mix of innovation, controversy, and some seriously interesting firearm trends—and the Guns & Ammo Buzz Podcast crew breaks it all down.

From the unconventional Tokarev TSG-12 "butt pump" shotgun to the rise of slimmer, concealed-carry-friendly 2011-style pistols, this episode covers the products everyone's talking about—and a few that raised eyebrows for all the wrong reasons.

We dive into:

The most talked-about shotgun at the show (and why it's controversial)

The evolution of compact, high-capacity 2011-style pistols

The growing demand for roller-delayed PCC platforms

Why 10mm continues to surge in popularity across platforms

New releases like the Taurus RPC, HK VP9 CC, and Ruger Red Label III

The return of classic designs with modern manufacturing

Practical insights on carry setups, recoil systems, and real-world performance

You'll also hear some strong opinions on carry methods, caliber debates, and what actually matters when choosing a firearm—based on decades of combined industry experience.

Whether you're tracking industry trends, looking for your next purchase, or just enjoy honest, unfiltered gun talk, this episode delivers.
