For nearly 25 years, the Outdoor Sportsman Group’s (OSG) Roundtable has hosted the preeminent industry gathering of professional outdoor media and firearm industry leaders. After four days of morning presentations on the latest firearms, optics, suppressors, ammunition and accessories, attendees were transported to the Cameo Shooting and Education Complex, Colorado's premier shooting destination. Among the highlights revealed was the Banish 12 shotgun suppressors; new Smith & Wesson handguns and rifles such as the M&P9 Shield X, 617 .22 LR/610 10mm Mountain Guns, and FPC in .22. Kimber expanded it’s popular 2K11 lineup, while Aimpoint provided a shooting experience with its COA red-dot sight and revolutionary A-Cut mounting footprint. Savage 110 expands to include the 7mm Backcountry to produce a fine-handling, short-barrel, sporting rifle; and Savage AC30 Back Over Barrel (B.O.B.) suppressor. Suppressors also underscored 3D-printing technology’s advancement of fluid-dynamic engineering with suppressors, resulting in a collaborative effort for Ruger’s RXD30Ti suppressors developed with Dead Air Silencers. Benelli’s AI shotgun barrel technology, Hornady ammunition and Security products; and Canik TTI pistols; these are just a few things to look forward to until the next OSG Roundtable. Join the conversation with Editor-in-Chief Eric R. Poole and Managing Editor Jack Oller.

Garry James answers readers’ letters concerning firearms and accoutrements in “Gun Room,” a long-standing column that you’ll find towards the front of each issue of Guns & Ammo magazine.

Guns & Ammo’s Eric Poole and Patrick Sweeney are joined by Federal Premium’s Christopher Laack to discuss the .32 Harrington & Richardson (H&R) Magnum and the .327 Federal Magnum. Sweeney tested and compared modern loads for these cartridges in Ruger and Smith & Wesson revolvers in “More Than Retro,” an exclusive feature in the October 2025 issue of Guns & Ammo. These .32s are enjoying a resurgence in the concealed carry revolver segment with introductions in 2025, including S&W's Model 642 “The Ultimate Carry Revolver.” Laack discusses the engineering that led to the .327 Federal introduction to advance bullet performance and increase capacity potential in small-frame revolvers, while Sweeney recounts his experience and test results.

The .32s are based on a .312-diameter bullet. When compared to .32 S&W and .32 S&W Long, the .32 H&R was considered a “magnum” when introduced in 1984, but the .327 Federal was a leap forward when it was introduced with modern bullets in 2008 for the Ruger SP101 and LCR. A joint venture between Federal Premium and Sturm, Ruger, & Co., Guns & Ammo re-evaluated the .327 Federal with the original SP101 prototype in .32 H&R Mag., which was re-chambered and marked “.327” over the “.32 H&R" stamping. With the new Federal Hyra-Shok Deep, engineers have renewed the .32 H&R Magnum's credentials as a viable self-defense cartridge for the modern era. Learn more about the development, details, and ballistic potential of each cartridge in this episode of Guns & Ammo’s “The Buzz Podcast."
