Handguns

The “Bad Guy” received one splitting headache – the kind of headache created by five, hard-thumping rounds of .45 AUTO to the front of the noggin.

The Jericho 941 provides shooters with a very capable clone of the CZ 75 that still differs enough to be a distinctly different pistol. This is a big heavy gun. I’m talking heavy enough to beat a man should you run dry. It doesn’t bode well for concealed carry, but for home defense and duty use, it’s a great choice.

Developed as the premium version of Canik’s TP series of pistols, the TP9 SFx Rival features most modern components shooters demand.

FN Herstal and FN America are announcing two new modern midsize, polymer-framed, striker-fired handguns with two different markets in mind.

Taurus has added to their G Series of handguns with the new G3 Tactical.

The TRS (Tactical Ready Series) Commander 1911 from Nighthawk Custom carries a hefty price tag of $4,399.00. Which has many readers asking themselves, “How the hell can any pistol be worth $4.3K?!”
