The winner of the NASGW - Caliber Award for Best New Suppressor is HUXWRX Safety Co — FLOW 9k Ti.

The FLOW 9k Ti delivers exceptional performance in a compact, purpose-built package, offering a lighter, quieter, and more efficient experience than its predecessor.

Optimized for PCC platforms, the design includes stiction mounting and hub adapter capability for broad compatibility, and it is full-auto rated with no barrel restrictions—requiring no modifications to the host platform or gas system to operate. Finished in high-temperature C-series Cerakote (FDE & Black), the FLOW 9k Ti balances durability, corrosion resistance, and low weight, delivering a noticeably quieter shooting experience without sacrificing accuracy or reliability. Innovative, rugged, and ready for serious use, the FLOW 9k Ti sets a new standard for modern pistol suppressors.

The winner of the NASGW - Caliber Award for Best New Shotgun is Mossberg — 990 AfterShock.

The 990 AfterShock delivers tactical performance in an ultra-compact package, offering 5+1 semi-automatic convenience in a 12-gauge, 3" chamber with choice of 14.75" or 18.5" barrels. Its AfterShock Grip features a rubberized palm pad to improve comfort and help minimize felt recoil, while the streamlined, strapped forend keeps the lead hand clear of the muzzle for safer handling.

Ergonomics and user-friendly controls are prioritized throughout the design, from the oversized, ambidextrous safety with a high-visibility indicator to the knurled charging handle and ergonomic bolt release.

The winner of the NASGW - Caliber Award for Best New Handgun — and Best Overall is the R***r RXM™.

Born from a true collaboration between R***r and Magpul, the RXM stands out as an American-made pistol designed for ergonomics, durability, and nearly limitless customization — all at an accessible price point. Key features include a removable stainless-steel Fire Control Insert (FCI) housed in an interchangeable Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip (EHG) for maximum flexibility; a direct-mount optic-cut slide (RMR, DPP, RMSc) with co-witness height steel sights, tritium front sight, black nitride finish, and front cocking serrations; and Magpul’s 3/4-scale TSP texture plus textured indexing pads for secure, consistent grip and trigger placement.

Most major components are designed for Gen 3 compatibility with off-the-shelf parts, holsters, and accessories, making the RXM a platform built for personalization — whether you want a duty-ready setup or a concealed-carry package. R***r + Magpul: performance, practicality, and adaptability in one award-winning handgun.

The winner of the NASGW - Caliber Award for Best New Rifle is Henry Repeating Arms — SPD HUSH Series.

The HUSH Series is a bold reimagining of the lever-action rifle, purpose-built to excel with a suppressor. Offered in time-tested calibers (.45 C**t, .357 Magnum/.38 Spl, .44 Magnum/.44 Spl, .30-30 Win, and .45-70 Gov’t), the HUSH blends traditional handling with modern performance.

Engineered for suppressed shooting, components forward of the receiver are optimized to preserve the rifle’s natural balance even when a can is mounted. At its core is a match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel wrapped in a tension-loaded carbon fiber sleeve (in partnership with BSF Barrels) that creates a large air gap for reduced weight, faster cooling, and temperature-stable accuracy. A skeletonized aluminum forearm (TAPCO collaboration) keeps the profile slim and M-LOK® ready for accessories, while an ARRIS® Technology forged-carbon Picatinny rail and a threaded muzzle provide modern optics and suppressor compatibility. The American hardwood laminate buttstock is lightened for balance without sacrificing durability or the classic wood feel.

The winner of the NASGW - Caliber Award for Best New Optic is the Leupold — VX-6HD Gen 2.

Whether you’re scaling rugged peaks or chasing elk at last light, the VX-6HD Gen 2 riflescope delivers total dominance. Its professional-grade optical system provides unmatched clarity and brightness, while competition-grade adjustments and an integrated throw lever deliver precision when it counts. The innovative SpeedSet dial eliminates the need for tools when zeroing or swapping custom dials. No detail is overlooked—this is the ultimate hunting scope.

The winner of the NASGW - Caliber Award for Best Ammunition is Federal Ammunition's 7mm Backcountry Cartridge.

The 7mm Backcountry is a high-performance, all-range cartridge that reinvents ammunition for compact, shorter-barreled suppressed rifles. Its patented Peak Alloy™ one-piece case delivers higher velocities than modern brass while remaining dimensionally smaller—allowing magnum-class ballistics from shorter rifles and often one extra round in the magazine. Engineered to produce magnum velocity without increased recoil, 7mm Backcountry pushes ballistic performance and practical innovation forward.

The winner of the NASGW - Caliber Award for Best Accessory is the Radian Weapons - Afterburner + Ramjet for G***k 43X.

This pairing delivers unprecedented recoil reduction and match-grade accuracy in a compact, concealed-carry package. The threadless RAMJET™ barrel and AFTERBURNER™ compensator—machined from hardened 416R stainless steel and stainless steel respectively, then finished with Radianite™—offer low friction, high hardness, and outstanding corrosion resistance for long-term durability. Angled front faces on the AFTERBURNER™ aid in holstering, while the INTRA-LOK® taper-lock mounting system makes installation and removal fast, repeatable, and user-friendly.
Installed on a G***k™ G43X™, the combo extends slide length to G48™ dimensions for straightforward holster compatibility—performance and practicality in one award-winning package.
