GunsAmerica Product Reviews – Pistols

In the crowded market of sub-compact 9mm pistols, the Taurus PT 111 Millennium G2 stands apart with an impressive list of features and very attractive retail price.

The Auto Mag is a cult classic in the world of handguns. Conceived by and designed by Harry Sanford, it saw on-and-off production throughout the ’70s and ’80s and fewer than 10,000 pistols were ever made.

The commander-sized No. 3 FRAG pistol from Guncrafter Industries brings some heavy-duty firepower to an EDC-ready 1911 pistol.

The Nighthawk Custom Global Response Pistol, GRP, was introduced at the height of the Global War on Terror. The original GRP was a standard 1911 duty-ready pistol in a traditional configuration. The company then answered the requests for a rail model by introducing the GRP Recon.

The Colt Delta Elite in 10mm combines the potent power of that magnum-force autopistol cartridge with the classic 1911 format. Born in the 1980s, this pistol is still alive and kicking today.

Ultimately the only good reason to go with .22 for self-defense is that it is your last, best, and only option. The truth is that it’s rarely the only option.

The new RM380 from Remington delivers ultra-compact .380 ACP power in reliable and handy package. Full review of the pistol.

The Longslide 10mm 1911 from Republic Forge makes for not only great close-range performance but can also be pushed out to 100 yards distance due to its power and accuracy.

Probably the hottest segment of the handgun market is in guns that fit the concealed carry mode. The guns listed aren’t chosen for their level of usefulness for highly trained operators, but rather because they’re easy to learn to shoot well and are powerful and reliable enough to serve as excellent defensive tools.
