Alexander and Chris sit down to talk about some very cool new guns inbound to the market from Springfield Armory. The Illinois-based company has over 50 years in the firearms business and a name that goes back to the Founding Fathers. We were fortunate enough to be joined by Mike Humphries, Springfield's Media Relations Manager, to talk about what is new in the catalog headed into the NRA Annual Meetings this week.

To skip ahead, here are some time stamps:

00:58 Getting to know Mike.

12:30 The Echelon was on nobody's bingo card. 
13:20 Guns.com's Reader's Choice Award on the Kuna. 
13:50 The amazing popularity of the SA-35 Hi-Power clone (new school feels on an old school classic).
17:40 The new SA-35 4-inch Detective-style pistol likes to run fast. 
20:20 Mike is fond of the Echelon 4.0C.
