GunsAmerica Product Reviews – Pistols

Plastic pistols are nothing new—the first was made by Heckler & Koch in the 1970s—and you’d be right to say there’s a glut of them on the market.

The newly released CANiK METE MC9 Prime represents the most feature-packed iteration of the METE line to date.

I ran 150 rounds of 5.7x28mm ammunition through the Tisas PX-5.7 semi-automatic pistol. It proved itself a solid, reliable firearm during my shooting. 

The Smith & Wesson Model 10 has been in production since 1899 and with good reason. The new No Lock model is an excellent return to form.

The TRP has only been offered in 45 ACP and 10mm and only with iron sights. That is changing and you can get TRP handguns chambered in 9mm

Kings River Custom may be a new name in the business, but the founders have decades of experience building these pistols.

For decades Glock has been synonymous with simplistic reliability. Their no-frills pistols have been depended on by militaries, police, and civilians throughout the world.

What you’ll notice right off the get-go is the California model looks pretty much like any other P365 with some minor tweaks.
