Last year, I reviewed the new STR-9, a 9MM semi-automatic pistol from Stoeger Industries of Istanbul, Turkey, for this very digital platform. Best known for its workhorse shotguns, Stoeger launched itself into self-defense handguns with the STR-9—and it did a workman-like job.

Now that you know how to choose a suppressor, where do you buy it from?

Throwback to early 2020, and FN released their smallest handgun in decades: the FN 503. Geared towards conceal-ability, FN states that “compromises in shootability, accuracy, and reliability with slim CCW handguns are solved.” This pistol utilizes single stack magazines to give it a total width of 1.1 inches. The slim design makes concealed carrying easier and more comfortable than other large options. 

While widely known for its shotguns, Stoeger Industries branched out into the handgun market back in 2019. Over the past three years, they have expanded upon their initial STR-9 offerings to add sub-compact, compact, regular, and full-sized 9mm striker-fired pistols to their lineup. Stoeger has earned a reputation for durable shotguns and intends to build upon this legacy by bringing affordable and reliable handguns to market, and for the most part throughout my testing, I found this to be true.

It has been a minute since the Springfield Armory Hellcat was introduced, and the little gun that could has certainly been making some waves. A contender to the micro 9mm title belt, the Hellcat came out swinging. Not only did it offer the highest capacity in its class, but it quickly garnered a reputation for toughness and reliability. So today, we are going to take a look at some of the new developments for your Hellcat.

The Meskwaki Nation Police Department in Iowa confiscated this week a homemade firearm they dubbed the “Smith and Meth-Son.”

The great thing about modern production pistols is the ability to plug and play or mix and match. Taurus recently announced the newest G3 pistol at the 2022 SHOT Show. The G3x combines the full-size frame of the G3 with the short slide of the G3c. I received one of the new models a week before its announcement at SHOT Show.

DeltaPoint Micro is a fully enclosed, low-profile red dot sight designed specifically for concealed carry and personal defense. It provides all of the advantages of a miniature red dot sight without the high profile of other sights. No red dot on the market is more compact, its low height to bore replicates the same sight plane that iron-sight shooters are accustomed to, allowing for intuitive target acquisition, and it delivers the legendarily rugged performance that Leupold consumers expect. Your iron sight presentation will put the red dot right in your field of view.

Local Houston news station KHOU ran a report this week that covered the “upward trend” of homemade “ghost guns” used in crimes across the country.
