Meet the 13 American-Made Revolver Brands You Need to Know
Revolvers are a type of pistol that contains a revolving chamber of bullets. The bullets can be fired one after another without the need to reload. While revolvers were widely used during the Civil War, it was during the Old West that the most iconic revolvers were made famous with the growing popularity of Colt Revolvers. Today, Colt’s Manufacturing is still a top seller of American-made revolvers. Although semi-automatic pistols may have replaced revolvers in convenience and high capacity, many people prefer the simplicity and reliability of revolvers. Using data from the ATF, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 13 companies making the best-selling American-made revolvers. We reviewed manufacturing figures for thousands of federally licensed gunmakers in the United States and ranked them on total revolver production in 2022. 24/7 Wall St. also independently verified that this data is the most up-to-date at this time. Why It Matters Firearm sales in the U.S. hit historic highs during and after the pandemic. Both directly and indirectly, the U.S. arms and ammunition industry generated over $90 billion in economic output in 2023 and employed over 384,000 Americans, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry advocacy group. In recent years, surging demand for firearms has been a boon for American gunmakers. Here are 13 of America’s top revolver manufacturers. 13.

Smith & Wesson Brands: High-Yield Concern Going Through An Inflection Year
Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. has recently moved its headquarters to Tennessee, which should boost returns in the years ahead. FY2025 will be a transition year for the small-cap manufacturer as both earnings and sales fall. SWBI shares do yield 4.8% and a covered call strategy can enhance this yield significantly.
These Are the 50 Most Popular Guns Ever Made
What are the best-selling guns in the world? Rounding out the 50 best sellers is a weapon that was first manufactured in 1892. The American-made Winchester Model 1892 sold approximately two million units. That may sound like a lot until you consider number one on the following list has sold 150 million units overall. (Also check out the the 25 most popular firearms sold in America.) 24/7 Wall St. compiled a list of the most popular guns in the world by reviewing various sources, such as GunBroker.com, Small Arms Survey, and more to get estimates of global gun sales. Guns were ranked by estimated lifetime sales. The origin of each gun is the historical country of origin or where the weapon was first created. Different models of the same gun released in different years are included in the gun sales estimates. Why You Need to Know These Guns Understanding the connection between gun sales, gun use, gun violence, and gun deaths helps to participate in conversations about the topic. This is especially important as gun control has been a pressing discussion in the political realm. Guns are part of the fabric of the United States. In fact, our country actually has more guns than people. The surgeon general’s recent advisory brings to light the need for these conversations to continue, and further education will allow for that to happen. Can you guess the most popular guns ever? 50.

Sales of These Best-Selling Semi-Automatic Rifles Show No Signs of Slowing Down
In 1994, the federal government passed a law that effectively banned the manufacture or sale of assault-style weapons for civilian use. This ban expired in 2004, however, and in the years since, assault-style semi-automatic rifles have become among the most popular firearms in the United States. 24/7 Wall St. Key Points: Civilian ownership of semi-automatic rifles — particularly assault-style, or modern sporting rifles — is perhaps the most contentious element of the ongoing gun control debate. But, while controversial, these firearms are also hugely popular — and certain makes and models stand out as clear favorites among American gun owners. Also: Discover the next Nvidia Over the 10 years ending in 2022, Americans bought nearly 22 million assault-style rifles, or modern sporting rifles, according to estimates from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry advocacy group. While popular, these types of firearms are also controversial. Modeled after fully automatic weapons used by militaries around the world, including the AK-47 and AR-15, many gun control advocates argue that modern sporting rifles have no reasonable civilian application. Additionally, many of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history have been carried out with assault-style rifles. Even though some states have standing bans on these weapons, they remain legal in most of the country — and in these places, they are widely used for home defense, recreational target shooting, and even hunting. Given their popularity, assault-style rifles are sold in the United States by hundreds of companies and are available in countless configurations. But recent firearm sales data shows that when it comes to semi-automatic rifles, Americans have some clear preferences. Using a report from Gun Genius, which analyzed sales data from the online firearm marketplace GunBroker.com, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 10 best-selling semi-automatic rifles in the United States. Rifles are ranked on sales volume in the 2024 calendar year, though exact sales figures were not provided. Supplemental data on the approximate base price for each make and model are from online retailers, including GunBroker. These 10 rifles are manufactured by seven brands – including Browning, Colt, Sig Sauer, and Ruger, a company with four models on this list. While most of these rifles are, what many would consider to be, assault-style weapons, some are not. One of these rifles is the Ruger 10/22, a .22 caliber rifle that has long been popular with novice shooters. Not only one of the best-selling semi-automatic rifles of 2024, the 10/22 is also one of the best-selling firearms of all time. Since the model was introduced more than 50 years ago, Ruger has reportedly sold over 7 million 10/22 rifles. (Here is a look at the most popular firearms in history.) Many of the rifles on this list are available in a wide range of calibers commonly used for home defense and hunting. The ballistic characteristics of these different calibers are nuanced, and while some are better suited for certain types of game, variations also cater to a shooter’s personal preference. (Here is a look at the most versatile hunting cartridges.) It is important to note that this list was compiled using online gun sales only. Unlike most items purchased online, firearms are generally not shipped directly to your door. Typically, the process requires buyers to have their gun shipped to a Federally Licensed Firearm Dealer — usually a local gun store — which will run a background check before transferring the gun to the customer. These are the best-selling semi-automatic rifles in the United States. Why It Matters Rifles have lost considerable market share to pistols in the United States in recent years. Still, semi-automatic rifles — particularly assault-style rifles, like those modeled after military firearms — have surged in demand among American gun owners. While those in the market for a semi-automatic rifle have countless brands, configurations, and calibers to choose from, certain models have emerged as clear favorites. 10.

SWBI: Time To Double Down On Guns
SWBI saw a post-election boost but faced a significant 20% drop after disappointing Q2 earnings, driven by inflation and softening demand. Despite short-term challenges, SWBI's strong capital allocation strategy, including a 4.6% dividend yield and aggressive share repurchase program, supports long-term shareholder value. The inconsistency in gun control legislation under Trump adds uncertainty, but SWBI's lack of long-term debt and strategic buybacks mitigate risks.
