If you weren't lucky enough to roam the aisles of SHOT Show 2026 in Las Vegas last week, don't worry: we've got you covered. The industry's biggest event brought over 300 companies showcasing their latest and greatest, and let's just say… the future of firearms and gear is looking very exciting.
From a long-awaited pistol upgrade that had everyone buzzing to carbon fiber precision rifles and optics that practically think for you, this year's show delivered some serious heat. Here's everything you need to know about the hottest releases: and how you can get your hands on them at Wholesale Hunter.
Let's get the big one out of the way first. Glock finally dropped the Gen6, and the shooting community collectively lost its mind. After years of speculation, leaks, and wish lists, the Austrian giant delivered an update that focuses on two things: ergonomics and performance.
The Gen6 features a completely redesigned grip texture and angle that feels more natural in hand. Glock listened to years of aftermarket grip modifications and baked those improvements right into the factory frame. The trigger has also received attention: expect a cleaner break and shorter reset that competition shooters and everyday carriers will appreciate.
Under the hood, the barrel and recoil spring assembly have been refined for improved accuracy and reliability (as if Glocks needed help there). Whether you're looking at the G17, G19, or compact models, the Gen6 platform is shaping up to be the new gold standard for polymer-framed pistols.
Pro tip: Once these hit our shelves, pair yours with our bulk ammo discount: buy 10+ boxes of 9mm and save 5%. You're going to want plenty of rounds to break in that new trigger.
Beretta surprised everyone with the B22 Jaguar, and it's clear that .22 LR isn't just for plinking anymore. This sleek semi-auto rifle combines classic Beretta craftsmanship with modern ergonomics, making it perfect for small game hunting, training new shooters, or just having fun at the range without breaking the bank.
The Jaguar features a 10-round rotary magazine, adjustable sights, and a threaded barrel for suppressor enthusiasts. The fit and finish are pure Beretta: which means it looks as good as it shoots.
With rimfire ammo prices staying reasonable compared to centerfire options, the B22 Jaguar is positioned to be one of the year's best sellers. Keep an eye on our Beretta collection for availability.
And remember: free shipping on all long guns at Wholesale Hunter. That includes the Jaguar once it drops.
Bushmaster came to SHOT Show 2026 ready to reclaim its place in the AR market, and the Bravo Zulu Pistol is their statement piece. This large-format pistol is built for home defense and range duty, featuring a compact barrel length paired with a stabilizing brace that keeps things maneuverable.
The Bravo Zulu runs on a direct impingement system with a nitride-treated bolt carrier group for corrosion resistance and smooth cycling. The M-LOK handguard gives you plenty of real estate for accessories, and the ambidextrous controls make it lefty-friendly out of the box.
If you've been on the fence about adding an AR pistol to your collection, Bushmaster just made that decision a lot easier.
Precision rifle shooters, this one's for you. The Bergara Premier CIMA Pro showcases the brand's commitment to carbon fiber technology, delivering a rifle that's lighter, stiffer, and more accurate than ever before.
The CIMA Pro features Bergara's renowned barrel-making expertise wrapped in a carbon fiber shell that reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity. The result? Less fatigue on long hunts and tighter groups at extended ranges. The adjustable stock and crisp trigger round out a package that competes with custom rifles costing twice as much.
Bergara has been quietly dominating the precision rifle space, and the CIMA Pro is their 2026 flagship. If you're already a fan of their work, check out what we currently have in stock from Bergara.
Don't forget: All long guns ship free from Wholesale Hunter. That's a nice chunk of change back in your pocket on a premium rifle like this.
Nightforce brought serious innovation with the NX6 series and its game-changing FieldSet turret system. If you've ever wished you could zero your turrets in the field without tools or guesswork, Nightforce just answered your prayers.
The FieldSet system allows shooters to set a custom zero stop anywhere in the turret's range: quickly and easily. Hunting at altitude one day and sea level the next? No problem. The NX6 adapts to your conditions without missing a beat.
Optically, the NX6 delivers the clarity and light transmission Nightforce is known for, with a versatile magnification range suitable for everything from predator hunting to long-range steel. This is the kind of glass that turns a good rifle into a great shooting system.

Red dot shooters, meet your new best friend. The Holosun 507-PROMAX features a massive window designed specifically for competition use. When fractions of a second matter, that extra field of view helps you acquire targets faster and transition smoother.
The 507-PROMAX retains Holosun's legendary battery life and solar backup, plus their Multi-Reticle System that lets you switch between dot, circle, or circle-dot configurations. It's built tough with an aluminum housing that can handle the abuse of regular competition use.
Whether you're running USPSA, IDPA, or just want the fastest target acquisition possible for defensive use, the 507-PROMAX deserves a spot on your slide.
Check out our current Holosun offerings to get familiar with the platform.
One of the biggest trends at SHOT Show 2026 wasn't a single product: it was a movement. Intelligent optics are here, and they're changing how we think about sighting systems.
Multiple manufacturers showcased optics featuring heads-up displays that overlay ballistic data, range information, and environmental conditions directly in your field of view. Bluetooth connectivity allows these smart scopes to sync with rangefinders, weather meters, and smartphone apps for real-time adjustments.
Is it overkill for casual shooters? Maybe. But for long-range precision work and professional applications, this technology is a genuine game-changer. Expect to see more "smart" optics hitting the market throughout 2026 and beyond.
SHOT Show 2026 delivered exactly what we hoped for: innovative firearms, cutting-edge optics, and clear signals about where the industry is headed. Whether you're team Glock Gen6, drooling over that Bergara carbon fiber, or ready to upgrade your competition setup with the Holosun 507-PROMAX, it's an exciting time to be a shooter.
