Handguns

The NAA revolver is absolutely tiny and all but weightless. It can be your backup or the backup to your backup. So long as you are wearing clothes you can tote this gun painlessly.

The SAR K12 Sport, a purpose built race gun for the mind boggling MSRP of $812. But does it perform? Prepare to have your socks rocked off. Yes, it does.

The polymer-framed, striker-fired Masada mimics the best attributes of its 9mm plastic-gun predecessors. It’s optics-ready and comes with four plates to accommodate the Trijicon RMR, Vortex Venom, Leupold Delta Point Pro, and Sig Sauer Romeo1.

I have long liked the Beretta APX duty sized pistol, and when I learned they were releasing the APX Carry, I was immediately interested.

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.
