Anytime I notice a new 1911 on the market, I am interested. But when the new pistol is billed as a “full-size hybrid 1911?” I’m doubly interested!

Springfield’s PDW comes in pistol-sized package but is chambered in a rifle caliber, which offers the power of latter with the footprint of the former

It’s ugly! It’s heavy! It’s clunky! It’s expensive! It’s unconventional! Yes, it is! But damn if it doesn’t shoot! The Chiappa Rhino revolver is probably the most uniquely designed revolver produced in the last 100 years or more.

Colt went well outside the box on the new Custom Carry by selecting some of the best parts on the market. While the name sounds rather benign, this Custom Carry is one of the most well thought out, and feature rich, 1911s on the market today.

This compact, lightweight bolt-action chassis pistol, based on their full-size Modern Precision Rifle, was designed for backpacking and back-country hunting.

As the SIG P320 family of pistols continues to evolve, we see more and more specific needs addressed. This week, we got our hands on the latest model tailored to CCW, the RXP Compact. As the name implies, this is a new X Frame Compact size, red dot ready out of the box. And for some of you, this is exactly the variant you have been looking for.

For home defense, concealed carry, and recreational shooting, the SAR9 will do the job and then some. It is a fine pistol, very accurate, rugged, and reliable.

The P17 is fun, it’s very useful, and at a price that is near unbelievable. This is one I can highly recommend. Get yours while the getting is good.

After shooting the new VP9 for the last few months, I’m starting to get the appeal. It’s a sweet gun. Is it worth the H&K markup? Maybe, maybe not. I can say this: if you can afford the optics-ready VP9, you won’t be disappointed.
