GunsAmerica Product Reviews – Pistols

If you want a compact 9mm that shoots flatter than most pistols out of the box, try the Archon Type B Gen 2.

As a fan of polymer pistols, I’m pleased to report the Canik Mete MC9 Prime not only meets but exceeds its price point (and then some).

The Witness2311 Match X served me well and was reliable. I even outshot people with their full-custom builds in USPSA matches.

The CZ Shadow 2 Carry brings the heart of a match gun to an EDC-sized package. It keeps the ergonomics and shootability that made the Shadow line a favorite, then trims the footprint to Glock-19 territory and adds a drop-safe, decocker-equipped SA/DA system that makes sense for concealment.

A BBQ gun is a handgun that you show off. It’s the type of pistol that ranges in looks from ostentatious to damn gorgeous, reflecting the owner’s sense of taste and personality. It can be engraved, wear a luxurious finish, and have a grip made from exotic material.

The Kimber 2K11 Target (OR) is an aesthetically stunning double-stack 1911 in 9mm with 20+1 round capacity.

The SIG Sauer P365 AXG LUXE brings premium performance and luxury styling to the micro-compact world, chambered in .380 ACP.

SIG Sauer’s new P365 FLUX, introduced at SIG NEXT 2025, transforms the already popular P365 platform into an ultra-compact, brace-deploying PDW-style pistol.

the new P226X and P226X Carry models bring that legacy into the modern era with a host of precision upgrades.
