Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
Folks have been waiting on a NAA announcement but it looks like a variant of a standard 22 Mag mini revolver. Maybe they have something else hidden - waiting to see.
So far I have been tempted by a new 32 J frame, a 32 ACP Tomcat or a lever 223 (why - betting on new AWBs coming down the pike and Scotus inaction? Who is to know?).
The new Glock 30 - maybe. Ruger has a new 45 ACP LC carbine? https://www.americanrifleman.org/con...bine-in-45-acp Probably not NYS legal, so pass.

You know...this was undoubtedly suggested here on P-F in the last few years. I know, because I wrote Henry suggesting the idea.
Similarly, the number of features discussed in our "442/642 Pro" thread that have found their way onto the Lipsey's Ultimate Carry J-Frames is...staggering.

It's not a secret or anything that we have a number of industry folks and a number of people with the ears of industry folks here. I'm just sayin'...maybe we need to start trademarking some of these ideas...
I checked my emails. This was sent on January 30, 2022 to Henry Arms:
"To Whom it May Concern,
In seeing the recently released Long Ranger Express, I am pleased to see Henry Arms continuing to innovate the lever action market.
I suggest as a future product you guys use the Long Ranger Express platform and build a version of the gun to accept AR15 magazines in 5.56 and .300Blackout. Retain the fixed express style sights and short 16.25" barrel, adding only threading for the use of a suppressor, where legal. This would create a functional centerfire rifle capable of being legal in most if not all 50-states. While having the ease of administrative use of a detachable magazine rifle.
Sincerely,
[Redacted]."
I received an automated reply shortly after. Followed by a person reply on February 1 saying, "Thank you for your suggestion. I have forwarded it to our Product Development Department."
The Herring Model 2024 was announced awhile back and sounds like what you're looking for. Still no actual guns released yet though.
Has anyone heard news about any Dan Wesson models. Perhaps they are expanding the optics cut options to calibers other than 45ACP in the Specialist? Perhaps they are optics cutting the DWX?
I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
I'm pretty excited about some of the flashlight stuff coming out. Modlite has a new PL350c on display that incorporate a head that looks to be about 60% of the size of their Gen2 heads, which, while not as compact as the TLR7 line, should be a nice size decrease compared to the current PL350. Hoping it doesn't sacrifice too much output.
Also looks like that same compact head fits their existing 18350/18650 bodies, which means an even slimmer option for handhelds.
