From the humble beginnings of the Bushmaster Arm pistol, the rifle-chambered pistol concept has been an intriguing one. Initially most common in AR-15-based platforms, soon pistols based on the AK-47-style action joined the crowd. Now we're seeing even bolt-action variants join the mix, adding a new twist to the pistol chambered in rifle calibers. Here are just some of the new models released in 2020.
