The latest evolution is the 590RM Mag-Fed model, the first on the market to use a double-stack magazine. Among its other features, the AR-15-style rotary safety selector.

The legacy of the much-revered Hi-Power, aka HP35, lives on. After introducing the full-size SA-35, Springfield Armory is adding the compact and more carry-friendly version with 4” barrel. Capacity is still 15 rounds.

The FORT-230 submachine gun, which we photographed at Enforce-TAC 2026, is available on the military market in two versions that differ substantially in the stock: the first is a telescopic style, the second is side-folding. Let's take a gander at the technical characteristics of this firearm.

After the  Maschinenkarabiner 42(H) built by Haenel prevailed against the competing model from Walther, it evolved through several intermediate stages into the Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifle. However, the wartime situation required further simplifications.
