9mm

Israel Weapon Industries is now shipping the Masada, a full-size polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol chambered for 9mm Luger.

Every new gun evaluation always seems to wind up focusing on one key element of the firearm. For some it’s the trigger, other times it might be aesthetics or accuracy. And although this is the first polymer-framed pistol that SIG has branded with their LEGION moniker, the moment I picked it up I knew what this story would be all about – it’s weight!

Glock updated their E.U. website with two new Model 43X and 48 Slimline pistols, now with accessory rails for weapon lights and laser sights.

The Elite LTT (Langdon Tactical Technology) was introduced by Beretta in 2018. In a brilliant move, Big Beretta let genius firearms trainer, Ernest Langdon, design a handgun. I don’t use the “G” word lightly. The Elite LTT is recognized in the highest Beretta Circles as the ultimate 92.

Since 2010, Florida based Diamondback Firearms has been producing their ultra-small DB380 and DB9 pocket pistols. Diamondback recently added the compact double-stack AM2 9mm to their line which should appeal to those shopping for something larger with additional ammunition capacity.

In addition to making tissue look like it went through a blender, G9 also touts an unparalleled ability to penetrate auto glass, and stay on target. This is a bigger problem than you might think if you have never spent any time blasting auto glass.

The SIG P365XL is now shipping to dealers around the country. With an MSRP in the neighborhood of $600, SIG expects this to be another homerun.

The Uzi submachine gun was arguably the most rugged pistol caliber submachine gun ever produced. While the faster firing HK MP5 got most of the press, I myself consistently shoot better with the Israeli gun.

SIG Sauer is updating their polymer-framed, striker-fired P320 series with a new XFIVE model for competition and improved Professional slide assemblies.
