Dear INSIDERs,

It's November. You know what that means. Time to start thinking about Christmas gifts, whether they're for your loved ones or, let's be honest, yourself (we won't tell).

Wanna know our favorite kind of gifts? Anything that goes plink or pow. An EOTECH EXPS3-DCR? Pretty good stocking stuffer. A Taurus TH45? We'd happily find room for that under the tree, too.

Whether you're planning to be the giver of all gifts or sitting this year out on firearm purchases, there's something else worth your attention. Some of your favorite INSIDER brands are nominated for the third annual Hook & Barrel Top Shelf Awards.

Voting is open through November 30. CAST YOUR VOTES HERE.

👇🏼 Now, let’s get into the good stuff.

Jason Statham rarely keeps one gun for long. From Frank Martin’s gleaming Beretta to Lee Christmas’ tricked-out HK416, these are the firearms behind his biggest—and most gloriously unhinged—movie franchises.

This double-action/single-action, polymer-framed semi-auto offers 13 rounds of 45 ACP firepower in a highly manageable design. It aims to cater to shooters looking for a defensive pistol with a bit more "bite."

The Sandman X incorporates decades of research to give users the most pleasurable shooting experience possible by optimizing sound, balancing back pressure, and eliminating flash to increase performance for semi-automatic and bolt action rifles alike.

Up close, mid-range, and at distance: you will be ready for all three with this optic. We mounted it to a SIG MCX-SPEAR LT and took it to the range. Here’s how it performed.

The Third Annual Hook & Barrel Top Shelf Awards are back, and we're putting the power in your hands to recognize the best of the best in the outdoor industry. Some of the brands we feature WEEKLY are in the running.
