GunsAmerica Product Reviews – Pistols

The $1,699 ZEV/Magpul FDP folds into a compact package, ran without a single malfunction in my testing, and delivered a surprising 0.96-inch group at 25 yards. But a heavy trigger, awkward pistol ergonomics, and occasionally stubborn folding components keep this futuristic 9mm from being perfect.

The Springfield Echelon Pro 4.5F Comp is the flattest-shooting Echelon I have fired, with a built-in compensator, aggressive new grip texture and practical upgrades that make a difference on the range. At $899, is this the best polymer pistol Springfield has built yet?

The Taurus TX22 Braced takes an already impressive .22 LR pistol and adds a folding brace, optics-ready slide and suppressor-friendly setup. It ran cheap ammo surprisingly well and delivered plenty of fun, but the missing manual safety and a stubborn brace button left me with a few complaints.

After our first SIG P385 deep dive, viewers came back with more technical questions, so we went straight back to SIG Sauer for answers. In Part II, Eric McKenzie addresses future P385 models, AXG grip modules, other calibers, the manual safety, FCU interchangeability, threaded barrels and suppressor compatibility, MIM parts, U.S. manufacturing, durability, slide finish, [...]

The Springfield SA-35 4″ Polished looks like a pistol you should handle with white gloves. Don’t. This glossy, walnut-gripped 9mm delivered smooth cycling, a 0.99-inch best group and enough carry appeal to earn a spot in my everyday rotation.

At SIG NEXT, I sat down with Eric McKenzie, SIG Sauer’s Director of Commercial Product Management, to dig into the technical details of the new P385. Instead of covering the basic specs again, I pulled questions directly from YouTube comments, Reddit threads, GunsAmerica, and other discussions where shooters were asking things SIG had not really [...]

The SIG P385 is not another P320 variation. We shot SIG’s new modular 9mm platform at SIG NEXT 2026 to see what its new FCU, low bore axis, recoil system and MagStrap grip actually bring to the range.

SIG just put the P211 on a serious diet. The new P211 Full Size and P211 Carry keep the double-stack capacity, single-action trigger and optic-ready architecture while trading the heavier configuration for an aluminum alloy frame and polymer grip module.

The SIG P226-X Agency takes the familiar P226 and turns up the performance with an integrated compensator, bull barrel, AX3 trigger and enclosed ROMEO-X optic. After shooting it at SIG NEXT 2026, this was the pistol that surprised me most.
