Handguns

Staccato has blended the best aspects of the legendary 1911 with years of competition tested 2011 improvements and the latest manufacturing upgrades to deliver a unique 4.4” 2011 that will challenge most shooters to keep up with its performance.

The Ranger 22 is an ultralight, full-sized rifle with an 18″ carbon fiber tension barrel, carbon fiber stock, aluminum receiver, and overall streamlined design that bring it in at a shockingly low weight of 5.1 pounds! We also have the engineers behind this rifle’s design to thank for building it up around Ruger 10/22 magazines and Remington 700 drop-in triggers.

When review time came around on the XL model, I gave it a hard pass. I was very happy with my normal-sized P365 and I wanted nothing to do with an abomination. But could this new, slightly larger model hold up in a CCW role? Despite being bitten in the past, I had to find out. So I got one, got some gun leather, and started carrying it.

43X is a serious contender for best CCW gun of all time. Even at 10 rounds, from the factory, the 43X is pretty damn good. But boosted with Shield Arms mags? This is a package that is very hard to beat.

The SAINT AR-15 Pistol is handy, and is a fine choice for home defense, personal protection, as a truck gun, has some hunting applications, and is a hell of a lot of fun to just shoot.

Magnum Research is bringing back a long-time favorite for 2020, the Baby Eagle. The Baby Eagle, a cousin to the CZ-75, will be offered in two sizes with two frame options in three calibers.

The 1911 semi-automatic pistol has been around for over a century now and is still a favorite of many who shoot. It has served worldwide in many conflicts and has been carried by sworn and non-sworn civilians alike.

Springfield Armory and Vickers Tactical have collaborated and put together a fine pistol with many personal touches that is both extremely reliable and exceptionally accurate. This pistol offers the performance of a custom pistol at a much lower price point, along with the signature touches of a Special Operations veteran.

Every year I saw data for best selling handguns, the LCP was in the top five, if not number one. America has fallen in love with this little gun and this week’s review shows that to be with good reason.
