Taurus TX9 Sub-Compact 9mm pistol, part of the TX9 line that tops the best Taurus handguns

Best Taurus Handguns (2026): TX9, GX4, G3 & More

{ 0 comments }

The best Taurus handguns have shaken off the brand’s old reputation. Taurus still sells some of the cheapest reliable pistols on the market, but it now also builds an optics-ready duty gun that ran 1,000 rounds with two stoppages, a .22 competition pistol, a budget carry gun that put four shots in one hole, and [...]

Sig jumps into the 2011 game with the P211 GTO and it flat-out rips. We ran plates and a match to see if this ROMEOX-equipped 9mm really stays glued to target.

Leon the Professional’s Beretta

{ 8 comments }

The Beretta 92 series absolutely dominated action movies in the late 80s and early 90s. It made appearances in Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Kuffs, and more than I care to list.

Best Staccato Pistols (2026): Which Staccato Should You Buy?

{ 0 comments }

The best Staccato pistols of 2026 are not the same guns that made the brand famous. Staccato has moved most of its lineup to the HD platform, which drops the grip safety, adds fully ambidextrous controls, mounts optics directly to the slide, and, most important for a lot of buyers, runs Glock-pattern magazines. At the [...]

Beretta APX A1 Compact: A Review of the Newest Addition to the APX Family

Best Beretta Pistols (2026): APX, 80X, PX4 & More

The best Beretta pistols go well beyond the 92. The world’s oldest gun maker also builds modern striker-fired APX pistols, the PX4 Storm, a revived Cheetah in .380, and tip-up pocket guns in .22 LR and .32 ACP. Some are bargains, some are classics, and a few are better left to collectors. We will tell [...]

Best 2011 Pistols (2026): Duty, Carry & Value Picks

{ 0 comments }

Fair warning: if you still think a 2011 is a $4,000 race toy for people who iron their range belts, you are about a decade late. Duty-grade Staccatos ride in SWAT holsters. Springfield will sell you one with an Aimpoint already mounted. Kimber and Bersa jumped in. Girsan is hanging 2011-style guns out there for [...]

{ 0 comments }

The best SIG Sauer pistols run from the micro-compact that rewrote concealed carry to a hammer-fired duty classic, a factory 2011, and a rimfire trainer that feels like the real thing. SIG builds more handgun variants than almost anyone, which is great for choice and confusing for buyers. This guide sorts it out. Our writers [...]

Beretta finally gives the Bobcat a real modernization with the 20X, and it shows. We shot both side by side to see if the new gun truly fixes the 21A’s quirks or just dresses them up.
