9mm

Honor Defense has teamed up with Pittsburgh Cerakote and Kester Farm Tack to offer a custom 9mm pistol for C.O.P.S. Charity to benefit families of Law Enforcement Officers.

Taking the idea of “light and fast” model to new levels, the Civil Defense projectiles weigh in at well under half that same caliber traditional bullets. For example, the 9mm projectile weighs just 50 grains. Compare that to 115 or 124 grains for common 9mm defense rounds. The .45 ACP bullets weigh in at 78 grains as compared to a more traditional weight range of 185 to 230 grains. The result is blistering speed.

Walther Arms is issuing a product recall on their new CCP pistol. Affected pistols are not drop-safe and may discharge with the safety on or off.

What’s the difference then between Gen4 and Gen4 MOS pistols? Also, what does MOS mean? Glad you asked. MOS stands for Modular Optics System, which in five dollar words means you can put a red dot sight on it.

Heckler & Koch is officially announcing the VP9 SK, the subcompact successor to the wildly popular striker-fired polymer VP9 service pistol.

The new EDC X9 is a modern, alloy-framed, double-stack 9mm service pistol based on the 1911 built from the ground up for everyday carry.

The evaluation copy of the Combat Unit came to me chambered in 9mm. It is also offered in the traditional .45 ACP. What you get from 9mm is an extra round of capacity from a standard sized magazine, and less recoil. Much less recoil in fact, because shooting 9mm in a 40-ounce handgun almost feels like it should have an orange muzzle. Add in the inherent ergonomics of the 1911 and the brilliant extras added by Colt and it’s downright fun.

Heckler & Koch has quietly released details about their new H&K SFP pistols for military and police users including a subcompact and a long-slide model.

Glock is protesting the military’s decision to replace their current sidearm with the relatively new SIG P320-based XM17.
