9mm

Springfield Armory unveils the new Echelon 4.0FC at SHOT Show 2026, blending a compact 4-inch slide with full-size grip and 20-round capacity.

The goal is simple: higher capacity without oversized mags or awkward handling. Mimic says the design maintains reliability while improving efficiency.

At SIG Sauer’s Defense Range Day during SHOT Show 2026, the company provided a closer look at the newest additions to its double-stack 2011-style lineup: the P211 GT4 and GT5.

The TX9 family launches immediately in three sizes.

Threaded, tritium, optic-ready, and built to work. We shot the SAR9 SOCOM suppressed and unsuppressed to find out if this duty-sized 9mm really punches above its price.

Just when it feels like the SIG P320 controversy might finally quiet down, something new jumps out of the bushes.

For units already fielding the M17/M18, the approval should make it easier to tailor pistols to specific roles such as range, convoy, or close-quarters duties.

The new Echelons are built around Springfield’s patent-pending Central Operating Group, a self-contained stainless-steel chassis that is serialized and removable from the grip module.

If you want a compact 9mm that shoots flatter than most pistols out of the box, try the Archon Type B Gen 2.
