9mm

Springfield Armory has taken their mastery of small gun ergonomics in a new direction with the release of the XD-E. The E stands for external hammer, which is a feature many people look for in a carry gun. If you are in the “don’t trust strikers” crowd, this gun was absolutely made for you.

We saw the Heckler & Kock VP9SK at NRA 2017. If you’re a fan of HK, then I don’t need to tell you anything else. If you’re not into HK, no worries, move along, nothing to see here…

Kimber‘s Micro and Micro 9 pistols are flying off the shelves.  They’re a hit!  I think that’s for two reasons, well, three, actually. First, they meet the standard that all concealed carry guns must meet.  That is, they’re actually comfortable to carry.  As Paul Helsinki always tells people, “Buy the gun that you will actually [...]

The XD-E is a gun you have to shoot to believe. I generally don’t prefer DA/SA guns, but this one runs like a scalded cat.

The all-new FN 509 has been chosen by Brink’s, Incorporated, to be the sidearm for its armed security personnel.

Over the last several years the firearms industry has exploded with AR-15 style rifles. Once the realm of large manufacturers, an increased demand and the potential for profit has spurred the launch of countless new rifle companies. At a more detailed level the market has seen an increase in ARs chambered in 9mm.

The competition-oriented Colt Gold Cup Trophy expands on the National Match design with even more high-end, semi-custom features.

So often when I see firearm upgrade videos though, the modifications are usually extensive and well beyond most budgets. We thought it’d be fun then to do a video that focused on easy modifications a person could do to their pistol with a more reasonable budget. So armed with $100 I started perusing the local gunshops and online to find the parts and pieces that I’d need to modify my bone stock Glock 34 Gen4 to ready it for competition.

We here at GunsAmerica first heard about what would become the FN 509 back in January, 2016 at SHOT Show. There were plenty of looks back and forth between the FN folks, followed by a polite “We’ll get back to you” when asked about it. Fast-forward 12 months to the 2017 SHOT Show, and FN responded with an invitation to a meeting at an undisclosed location in Las Vegas. At that meeting, we were given the opportunity to fire a few hundred rounds through the FN 509. We received our sample of the 509 a few weeks ago after promising not to discuss it publicly until April 17th, 2017.
