The FN 309 MRD looks like FN went bargain hunting in its own parts bin, but 300 malfunction-free rounds and surprising accuracy turned this oddball budget 9mm into a serious shooter.

The SIG MCX-LTAW brings the look and concept of a notable special-operations MCX configuration to the commercial market, pairing a 6.75-inch .300 Blackout barrel with a suppressor-compatible heat-shield handguard and current-generation MCX controls.

The Midwest Industries 10.5” Combat Rail spent over 2 and a half years on my primary AR before I hung 10lb and 25lb weights from it to see what really happens to laser zero. It stayed lightweight, slim, affordable, and impressively dependable, but the deflection numbers reveal exactly where hard barricade pressure can matter.

The SIG P385 is not another P320 variation. We shot SIG’s new modular 9mm platform at SIG NEXT 2026 to see what its new FCU, low bore axis, recoil system and MagStrap grip actually bring to the range.

SIG just put the P211 on a serious diet. The new P211 Full Size and P211 Carry keep the double-stack capacity, single-action trigger and optic-ready architecture while trading the heavier configuration for an aluminum alloy frame and polymer grip module.

The SIG P226-X Agency takes the familiar P226 and turns up the performance with an integrated compensator, bull barrel, AX3 trigger and enclosed ROMEO-X optic. After shooting it at SIG NEXT 2026, this was the pistol that surprised me most.

The SIG Sauer XRAY5 throws out the mechanical zeroing system pistol red dots have relied on for decades. With a fixed 225-dot matrix, enclosed housing and zero-distortion optical system, this solid-state optic may be SIG’s most interesting pistol red dot yet.

SIG claims the P365-MACH3D can cut muzzle rise by up to 30 percent. After shooting its new MACH3D compensator and 3.4-inch bull barrel at SIG NEXT, the difference was immediately noticeable.

The SIG KILO MICRO 4x18mm squeezes 1,000-yard reflective ranging, Archery Mode, ballistic groups and a rechargeable battery into a rangefinder weighing just 3.4 ounces. At SIG NEXT, this tiny optic proved it has considerably more capability than its dimensions suggest.
