Springfield Armory and Vickers Tactical have collaborated and put together a fine pistol with many personal touches that is both extremely reliable and exceptionally accurate. This pistol offers the performance of a custom pistol at a much lower price point, along with the signature touches of a Special Operations veteran.

Sig has made the leap into the deep end of the pool to compete with the well-established pillars of the micro market, the Smith & Wesson Shield, and the Glock 43 9mms.

Christensen Arms has made a business of lightweight firearms; weighing in at a mere 5.1 pounds, the new Ranger 22 is certainly not the exception. The Ranger takes advantage of all the technologies Christensen has perfected to make a very unique full-sized rimfire rifle.

In celebration of providing firearms to its customers since 1870, Marlin has produced a 150-year anniversary edition of two of its iconic rifles. The first is, of course, a large-bore lever action.
