Handguns

I used to teach some basic firearm safety classes, primarily focused on pistols. After teaching for a few years, I was able to typically tell if someone was going to have a good time on the range depending on the gun they brought.

Staccato has launched its all-new HD family of pistols, bringing two fresh options to the 2011 platform: the HD P4 and P4.5. 

At SHOT Show 2025, CANiK’s booth drew a crowd as they debuted the newest member of their METE family: the METE MC9 Prime.

What you’ll notice right off the get-go is the California model looks pretty much like any other P365 with some minor tweaks.

The Cyclops 45-70 stands as a bold statement piece, and after testing, it’s clear this firearm is unlike anything else.

“Pretty good, pretty cheap.” That tells you everything you need to know about Ruger’s semi-autos.

Recently the Hi-Power has seen quite the revival. Maybe the industry’s hard time coming up with something new spurned it.

The release of the Glock 28 is like going back in time and if you like Gen3 guns this is an option—expect that there are plenty of other better, more modern pistols than the G28. 

The Walther P99 remains a fantastic gun. It never got the recognition it deserved in the States, but it’s getting a worthwhile sendoff with the Final Edition package.
