Fans of the 9mm 1911 have a new option. Springfield Armory has a 4″ Champion version of their purpose-built 9mm EMP that is ideal for those who want the most from their daily carry pistol.

Bob Marvel, a respected 1911 gunsmith, offers classes for those who want to build a pistol from the ground up. This is mine. In the first part, I detailed the build itself, but now it is time to test out the finished gun. So how does my custom 1911 run?

GunsAmerica Shooting History takes a look at the classic FN made Baby Browning. This is a very well made little mouse gun that was an update of the Colt Vest Pocket. How well does this .25 stack up, and is it a viable gun for concealed carry?

Is a mouse gun that fires a .223 round bad ass, or a bad idea? How about one that fires a 7.62×39? Well we’ve been hammering our hands for two weeks now and are here to settle the score. Are the Heizer Pocket ARs and Pocket AKs good ideas, or just a gimmick?

Looking for a 1911 that’s ideal for concealed carry? Want it in a caliber other than .45 ACP? Check out the Springfield Armory EMP. These come in 9mm and .40 S&W, and we’ve been pushing these hard. So how do the redesigned 1911s hold up to the reputation Springfield has established with their 5″ guns?

When should you have an old gun restored? We’ve asked the experts at Turnbull. They’ve just returned our 1911, and this is one perfect example. This gun went from Hartford to Argentina, back up to Reno and then to Turnbull. And now it looks like it would have the day it left the factory.

The Honor Guard, an exceptionally well thought out single-stack 9mm, is in stores now. We’ve got one in for testing, and this gun has yet to disappoint. Read our review.
