Of the many firearms, components, and accessories that we review, one from each of our categories is chosen for our annual editors choice award. The winners represent the very best that the firearms industry has to offer, and include some of the most innovative, effective, and groundbreaking products available. In some cases competition between impressive products forces us to award the editors choice to multiple products in the same category, in which case the ties will be noted.
Judging is by our panel of experts, which includes gunsmiths, manufacturers, competitive shooters, sales professionals, and influential industry leaders.

Listed below are selected awardees from past years, in no particular order.
