The biggest and brawniest semiauto pistol made highlights this week's show, with Magnum Research's .50 AE Desert Eagle in the spotlight. Handgun Editor Patrick Sweeney offers his views on this behemoth, and while it doesn't necessarily shake the ground you're standing on when you pull the trigger, it lets you know you have a handful of pistol in your hands.

Amazingly (by today's standards), when first introduced, suppressors were considered 'mainstream' and could be shipped in the mail and there's a lot more interesting history to suppressors as we show an old Colt Woodsman .22 with original suppressor. Amazing and intriguing to say the least.

From modern day firearms to historically significant models, we kick off this week's show with SIG's cutting edge Model 320 Conversion kit. It is an extra special package in terms of a striker-fired modular pistol platform, and we give it a run thru at the range.

Ruger's ever-popular GunSite/Scout rifle is chambered in a new caliber -.223 and even better news is that it is being offered with a threaded barrel so you can screw on a suppressor of your choice and fire away with considerably less report. Significant advancements in optics is Leupold's long-standing reputation, and 2015 will be no different as it introduces its LCO.

'Subsonic' is often one of the more misunderstood terms in the shooting lexicon, so we offer a basic explanation of standard versus subsonic loads by highlighting two of Black Hills' 9mm factory loads. We examine an often overlooked but extremely important topic - the evolution of pistol magazines - while reviewing the Beretta M9/92 series of pistols.

Ever seen a flame 'lick' the end of a suppressor due to high-volume shooting? Few have, but we have it captured in high definition as Patrick Sweeney runs an AR til it glows, steams, and smokes basically, until it gets as hot as fire.

Rock Island Armory is known for its 1911 .45s, but new for 2015 is its slick, compact .380 pistol that's nicknamed the Baby Rock Check out the first look in this G&A TV exclusive.

Guns & Ammo TV has a history of offering viewers exclusive new product reviews, and 2015 will be no different. Kicking off this week's show is Hornady's new American Gunner handgun ammo, a totally new lineup of handgun ammo that has all the quality characteristics you've come to expect from the folks based in Grand Island, Nebraska.

We continue to keep our viewers informed on new firearms this week as we check out Springfield's new XD Mod.2 pistol. The XD line has been incredibly successful for Springfield, and now they've taken this pistol platform to even a higher level.

New and cutting edge optics always have a place on Guns & Ammo TV, and this week is no different as we take a look at a new offering from Leupold. As is typically the case, the Beaverton, Oregon, firm does not disappoint. S&W is back in the news with more new firearms from its Performance Center.

Walther, a legendary name in both rimfire and centerfire semiauto pistols, is hard at work again as we feature some new standard pistol offerings and threaded barrel guns that are ready for suppressors right out of the box.

Craig and Kyle, veterans of the Marine Corps and Army, respectively, close out the first half of Guns & Ammo TV by talking about their experiences with Beretta's M9. Long-time viewers know our co-hosts aren't shy about talking about offering their personal perspectives on firearms and their time in the service.

We kick off the second half of the 2015 season of Guns & Ammo TV with three totally new segments and more exclusive firearms, ammo and optics reviews in our At The Range segments by our writers and editors.

LaserLyte continues to offer up new and unique laser systems for pistols, shotguns and rifles with its new TriColor laser, and under the category of 'did you know?'

Springfield's XD series of semiauto pistols has received a lot of attention in recent years, but one of Springfield's bread and butter firearms over the years has been its M1A rifles. To be blunt, they simply can't make them fast enough, as riflemen still clamor for this classic semiauto rifle.

How is it 1911 pistols remain popular more than 100 years after John M. Browning introduced the design? One reason is the variety of 1911 pistols available, and Exhibit A in this week's show is SIGSauer's 1911 family of pistols.

Many believe you haven't experienced the world of firearms until you're fired the M1A'and once you have had that experience, you're going to want to come back for more. Now Springfield Armory, which builds M1As, has something else to entice you'the M1A Loaded Precision Rifle with adjustable stock.

Rimfire rifles may not draw the attention of centerfire pistols, but the world of rimfires has changed in recent years due to the 'customization' of both rifles and pistols. A perfect example of an accurized .22 rifle is the Smith & Wesson M&P-15 .22. After given the special custom treatment by gunsmiths in the S&W Performance Center, you'll simply be amazed at the performance of this AR-styled ri
