GunsAmerica Product Reviews – Pistols

Polymer mouse guns aren’t for everyone. Some of us prefer a more substantial .380–but they’re getting to be rather scarce. Here’s one you should consider if you ever come across one used. The Taurus Pt-58.

There’s nothing wrong with a .45 ACP 1911. Still, some prefer the ballistic performance of the 9mm. But what if there were a better option? There is–the old .38 Super, an almost forgotten option, kicks ass. So how hard is it to convert a 1911 to .38 Super?

The Smith & Wesson M&P pistols don’t get as much love as they deserve. Now there’s a new M&P for those devotees who want to quiet down their range time. How well do the new .45 ACP M&Ps work? Read our review.

UZI fans have been waiting for this one for a while. And this isn’t the oversized sub-gun that dominated cheeseball 80s prime-time crime dramas. This is a totally redesigned UZI. It is smaller, lighter, and even easier to conceal.

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?
