Smith & Wesson Brands Inc. has acquired Savage Arms Inc. from JDH Holdings in a $160 million cash-and-stock transaction, bringing two longstanding American fi****ms manufacturers under the same corporate ownership. Announced Oct. 21, 2026, the acquisition combines Smith & Wesson’s established handgun, revolver and modern sporting r***e business with Savage’s well-known hunting r***es and sh****ns.

Based in Westfield, Massachusetts, Savage Arms contributes approximately $160 million in annual net sales and a workforce of about 500 employees. Smith & Wesson, headquartered in Maryville, Tennessee, said the acquisition significantly expands its position in the hunting market, particularly in bolt-action r***es. The company expects the businesses’ complementary product lines and existing dealer, distributor and retail relationships to provide opportunities for greater efficiency and long-term growth.

“The acquisition of Savage is transformative for Smith & Wesson,” said Mark Smith, president and CEO of Smith & Wesson Brands. He said the companies’ respective strengths in hunting fi****ms, handguns and semiautomatic r***es would allow the combined business to serve customers across a broader range of fi***rm categories.

The Largest Commercial Fi****ms Manufacturer
According to Smith & Wesson, the combined company will rank as the largest commercial fi****ms manufacturer in the United States, with products spanning handguns, revolvers, r***es, sh****ns and suppressors. That ranking is the company’s characterization of the combined business.

Histories Reaching Back to 1852 and 1894
The acquisition also joins two companies with more than a century of manufacturing history. Smith & Wesson was founded in Massachusetts in 1852, while Savage Arms dates to 1894. The companies have served overlapping markets of hunters, recreational shooters and other fi****ms consumers, providing an established customer and distribution base for the combined operation.

For fi****ms consumers and the industry, the acquisition brings a major change in ownership for one of America’s best-known r***e manufacturers. Smith & Wesson has identified hunting fi****ms as a key area of expansion, although the announcement does not detail potential changes to Savage’s product lines, manufacturing operations or workforce beyond the approximately 500 employees joining the company.

R***r announced a major change to several of its longtime product lines this week, stating that it would immediately suspend production of several models while finishing out current production runs of other models through 2026.

"R***r announced changes to several current-generation product families yesterday as part of our ongoing R***r 2030 strategy," said Abbey Clary, R***r's director of media, advertising and public relations. "This does not necessarily mean these product families are permanently discontinued."

Effective immediately, R***r is ceasing production of its LCR, SP101, GP100 and Bearcat revolvers. The company plans to complete its final production runs of the following models for 2026: SR1911, LC Carbine, PC Charger, PC Carbine, LC Charger, Redhawk, Super Redhawk, Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, Single-Series revolvers, Vaquero, No. 1, 77-Series r***es, Hawkeye and R***r Precision R***e.

"We recognize how important these platforms are to R***r’s heritage and to our customers," Clary said. "In many cases, we see opportunities to bring them forward through new designs, improved features and modern manufacturing methods. We expect some of these names and product families to return in new forms in the future, but do not have specific product plans or reintroduction timelines at this time."

With this shift, R***r's handgun product lines continuing into 2027 will consist of the company's LCP offerings, RXM, MAX-9, Security-380, Security-9, R***r 5.7, Mark IV and 22 Charger. In its revolver line, R***r will continue making its affordable Wrangler and Super Wrangler models. For r***es, remaining R***r offerings will consist of the company's American R***e and American Rimfire line, as well as the R***r Precision Rimfire, Harrier, 10/22 and Mini-14 models.

"These decisions reflect our review of consumer demand, evolving market preferences, manufacturing complexity and the long-term profitability of each product family," Clary said. "The goal is to focus our resources on the products consumers want most today while creating capacity for future product development and manufacturing modernization."

We've had a LOT of inquiries about ATF's late Friday announcement. Just to clarify, not a single law has changed on Federal or State levels. Their letter simply states they are not enforcing the Federal law at this time. Many States have laws on the books, including PA, in addition to the Federal laws. NFA forms (1,4, etc.) are still required for ALL PA residents until the State makes a change. There is no place in PA where you can fill out a 4473 and walk out with the suppressor, SBR, etc. The second we get notice that NFA items can be processed via 4473 like any fi***rm, we will let you know. Until then and to protect our business, we must transfer NFA items as usual. For the past 3 years when we do your paperwork, approvals are usually back within 3 days.

Potentially great news! But until there is concrete verification from ATF on a national level as well as State of PA on a local level, we are still required to use NFA forms on existing inventory. Hopefully they will have rules in place in the next few days. We'll keep everyone posted.

Let me start off by stating again how much we appreciate all our wonderful customers! The majority of our patrons are decent, trustworthy and hard-working individuals. It is our practice to take people at their word when we are asked to get particular items for them (usually when no other shop can and at lower prices). Unfortunately, due to the actions of a few as of late, we will no longer place special orders without a non-refundable deposit unless you are one of our established and loyal customers. For over 25 years we’ve never required a deposit for special orders and always trusted people at their word. We’ve been taken advantage of a few times over the years and that is part of business, but it seems some are making this a common practice. The recent actions of some unethical, dishonest and immoral people have forced us to create this policy. For all our regulars, no worries, we will continue to fill your requests on word alone. Thank you for your understanding.
