New Guns & Gear for 2021—Henry Introduces 32 New Firearms

From Henry Repeating Arms

American gunmaker Henry Repeating Arms is announcing a large transition in their product catalog with upgrades for their Wisconsin-made lever-action rifles and shotguns and new calibers and configurations for their H015 Single Shot firearms. In total, the announcement is replacing 29 “legacy” models in favor of newly upgraded versions and adding 3 new Single Shots to the Henry lineup.

By popular demand, Henry Repeating Arms is replacing all steel-framed centerfire lever-action rifles and shotguns to include a side loading gate while still retaining the removable tube magazine based on the original Henry rifle patented in 1860. This open-ended magazine design, first introduced with the Henry H024 Side Gate Lever Action in 2019, provides owners with the ability to conveniently load the magazine and keep it topped off through a port in the receiver and safely unload the magazine by twisting out the inner magazine tube. The transition applies to all of Henry’s .30-30 and .45-70 rifles, .410 bore shotguns, and revolver caliber Big Boy rifles in their blued steel, All-Weather, and Color Case Hardened finishes that do not already include a side loading gate.

Here’s an example of how Henry gives back to the community, too.

“Ever since our fans and customers got a taste of a side loading Henry, the requests started rolling in immediately to include this feature on their favorite finish or caliber. These new models are going to make a lot of people very happy, and we are always going to have options for fans of our legacy configuration as well,” states Anthony Imperato, president and owner of Henry Repeating Arms. Imperato continues, “The removable tube magazine is a core part of our product DNA, so that’s not going anywhere, and fans of the classic brass and octagon barrel configurations will always be able to get that from us.”

Here’s my complete list of the best new guns and gear for 2021.

In addition to the new Side Gate models, Henry is announcing 2 new calibers for the H015 Single Shot Rifle with .350 Legend and .450 Bushmaster. For large game hunters in shotgun-only areas, Henry is also releasing the Henry Single Shot Slug Barrel Shotgun in 12 gauge, which features a fully rifled barrel for use with shotgun slugs and fiber optic sights.

Steiner Cinder Thermal Sight Now Available to Predator Hunters

From Steiner

Steiner Optics introduces the Cinder Thermal Sight offering enhanced thermal imaging in a sleek, modern thermal sight perfect for rifle-mounted or handheld target acquisition day or night, even in poor weather conditions. Advanced features including Wi-Fi video streaming and Recoil-Activated Video recording make the Cinder an ideal choice for nighttime hunting and shooting.

The Cinder offers 320×240 thermal resolution with enhanced operation by using an optical stabilized and shutterless thermal imaging core and advanced imaging processing from a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. All images are broadcast on an 800×600 pixel full color OLED display and can be streamed to Wi-Fi devices such as smartphones and tablets using the Cinder app or through an analog video-out port.

Hunters will never miss a shot on video with the Recoil Activated Video (RAV), which automatically saves video from a few seconds before and after the sight detects weapon recoil and, if wanted, images can be geo-tagged with the built-in GPS. A Stadiametric rangefinding reticle allows hunters to estimate distance of targets with known size, and picture-in-picture digital zoom give users an extra bit of confidence with a zoomed-in view of where they are aiming.

Here’s another night vision option from Sightmark.

Operation of the Steiner Cinder is easy using a five-button keypad located on top of the unit or through the Wi-Fi app.

Users can customize output color including image polarity, 10 color palettes and color selectivity, which when applied only broadcasts thermal signatures in a defined threshold. Simply put, targets stand out in color and the remaining environment is grey. Optimum detection is achieved through additional setting features such auto gain control and precise contrast selectivity.

With the SureShot feature, sighting-in is easy. After the first shot users can adjust the reticle on the horizontal and vertical axis digitally with the sight controls and can select from five different crosshair reticle types. As firmware is upgraded, users can update the optic via Wi-Fi to take advantage of improvements in programing.

Galco Switchback for Red Dot Sights

From Galco

Galco introduces the versatile and affordable Switchback™ belt holster for 4″- 4.5” semiautomatic pistols! Fitting guns similar to the Glock 17, SIG-Sauer P320 Compact, and S&W M&P, it accommodates pistols with and without most red dot sights.

A general-purpose hybrid design that combines the best elements of leather and synthetic, the Switchback is fully ambidextrous and can be carried in the strongside or crossdraw positions. The main body of the holster is constructed of layered synthetics, beginning with an outer layer of durable black ballistic nylon. Beneath that is closed cell foam that imparts structure to the holster body and protection for the firearm in the field. Finally, a layer of 420 denier gunmetal-colored packcloth lines the holster.

Here’s what the experts have to say about today’s custom holster trends.


An ambidextrous “exoskeleton” made of top grain steerhide allows the belt to be threaded through either side of the holster body in strongside or crossdraw positions, for right or left hand draw. The retention strap is reversible for ambidextrous use.

The Switchback is a perfect way to pack a full-size pistol in the great outdoors or on the range. Available in black finish, it retails for only $49.

Primary Arms Optics GLx Microdot Riser Mounts

From Primary Arms Optics

 Primary Arms Optics is proud to announce the release of the new GLx Microdot Risers. GLx products bring premium technology and materials into an approachable price point, and these mounts stand out with exceptional material quality and engineering at an affordable value. Both absolute and lower 1/3 co-witness models are priced at $49.99, making them a great choice on any budget.

“The GLx riser mounts are engineered from the ground up to be a rugged lightweight mounting solution for any H1/T1 mount interfaces. The oversized, hardened-steel hardware and tough 6061-T6 body make it one of the most dependable mounts on the market, especially at its price point,” says Robert Sheets, Primary Arms’ Director of Engineering. “GLx riser mounts will be available in both absolute co-witness and lower 1/3 heights, and each configuration includes all necessary hardware as well as a spacer to even further increase mount height versatility.”

Here’s a look at an event the company sponsored for Veterans Day.

Durability is essential to a high-quality mount, and GLx mounts are engineered to last a lifetime. The durable 6061-T6 aluminum main body and keeper are enhanced by two sets of oversized, hardened-steel hardware, featuring a black zinc phosphate coating for added resistance to corrosion. In addition to the cross bolts which act as recoil lugs, the mount base also includes a machined recoil lug to retain zero through repeated impact. When torqued to 55-65in-lbs the cross bolts provide over 3800lbs of clamping force ensuring zero retention through even the harshest abuse.

Beyond build quality, GLx risers strive for exceptional value. Even with their affordable pricing, these mounts come with several convenient additions that go above and beyond their competition. Out of the box, GLx mounts come with an added spacer, providing the user two separate mounting heights (1.41/1.535 and 1.64/1.765) to match their preference. As with other GLx products, Primary Arms backs these mounts with a lifetime warranty and commitment to customer satisfaction. To order your GLx riser mount, please visit the product page on primaryarms.com or at your favorite Primary Arms Optics retailer.
