“We are proud to be a part of this tribute to SOC Vaughn, a true hero who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting the rest of us,” said Cabot CEO Rob Bianchin. “We have tried to place many symbols of American military might and soldiers’ personal sacrifices into the pistol itself as well as the case.”

The M&P 45 2.0 might not have been a sales dynamo, but to discerning clients, it made waves. As far as ergonomics go, Smith & Wesson did an excellent job.

Heizer Defense, the creators of the Pocket Shotgun, Pocket AR, and Pocket AK single-shot pistols, recently added a 45 Auto semi-auto pistol to their product line. With some innovative engineering, and liberal use of the unexpected, the PKO-45 is an amazingly thin single-stack 45 semi-auto that may be the ideal IWB concealed carry pistol for those looking for large caliber in a slim package.

Taurus USA has been manufacturing 1911’s since 2005, and this year they released two new models based on Colt’s legendary designs. The Officer and Commander are both chambered in 45ACP and offer consumers all the features of a modern 1911 without the modern price tag.

Smith & Wesson is adding two new Compact models to their M&P M2.0 series chambered for .45 ACP. They are available with and without thumb safeties.
