The Avidity Army PD10 is a purpose-driven full-size single-stack concealed-carry pistol developed by self-defense expert Rob Pincus.

In one of the biggest surprises of the SHOT Show, Colt has updated the Gold Cup 1911. Fully updated for 2017, the Gold Cup Tropy is going to make 1911 fans very happy. The gun is beautiful in the stainless steel finish we shot. It looks absolutely gorgeous. The sights are a Bo-Mar rear, with a Novak fiber optic front. Every model comes with a national match barrel, and from the factory is available in 9mm or .45 ACP.

The Hi Power 9mm from Nighthawk Custom takes a classic John Moses Browning design and upgrades it and enhances it for todays shooters.

CZ has come out this year with some new pistols. First and foremost of these is the P-10 C pistol, a polymer-framed, striker-fired handgun ready for duty or CCW use. Also new are the Shadow and the Shadow 2, which are sure to excite fans of the venerable CZ-75 line. The Shadow has been dominating the production class of USPSA for some time now. Also new are some exciting sporting shotguns.

To say that Walther has a reputation for quality would be an astounding understatement. With a tradition that spans back to classics like the PPK as well as the P.38 up to modern masterpieces like the P99, Walther is renowned for making great guns. New for this year are two great options: the $399 Creed pistol and the competition-ready Q5 Match.

It does everything the Modern Handgun System needs it to do and more, and it does it all very well. The P320 is no compromise.

STI made their name on competition pistols, and this year was no different. In addition to providing the base kit on which probably 95% of the custom race guns are made, STI has their own out of the box ready to go model available now. As the name implies, this year’s model was made with the 3-Gunner in mind.

The Maxim 9 from SilencerCo offers shooters an all-in-one system of a 9mm pistol with an integral suppressor.
