Our firearms guides help you choose the right kit before you spend a franc. The STA Instructor Team writes every one. So the advice comes straight from the range and the shop.
Each guide answers one clear question at a time. Which optic suits your rifle? Do you really need a suppressor? What calibre and thread pitch should you pick? Because we test the gear ourselves, you get real specifications instead of marketing copy.
These firearms guides also explain the law in plain words. We link directly to the Swiss Weapons Act. We also flag what changes for buyers in France, Austria and Germany. As a result, you always know where you stand before you order.
We keep the writing short and useful. First, you get the quick answer up top. Then you get the detail, the trade-offs and a clear pick. Finally, you see the exact product we would run, and why.
You will find guides on optics, such as LPVOs and red dots. You will also find a full guide to suppressors in Switzerland. And you will find brand-by-brand breakdowns of the makers we import.
So start with the firearms guides below. Compare your options, learn the rules, and set up your firearm correctly the first time. New guides go live often. When you are ready, the STA team is one message away.
