Pistol

Let me walk you through some of my favorite options of new 2011s, starting with the more budget-friendly models and ramping up to the premium guns that will make any collector proud.

Ergonomically, the Walther PDP Pro-X PMM may be the best gun in the industry. It’s a handgun that promises to elevate your shooting experience to new heights.

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, Kirss USA showcased the 9mm Kymera, a highly modular handgun designed for shooters who value personalization.

CZ’s Shadow 2 pistol is a renowned ISPCA-style competition gun. Now, that platform is adapted for target competition shooting in the CZ Shadow 2 Target, and it comes in both 5- and 6-inch barrels.

Taurus’s new GX2 is a compact 9mm pistol that aims to combine value and performance at an attractive price. While at the booth the rep highlighted several key improvements over its predecessor.

At SHOT Show 2025, Glock and Aimpoint announced a limited-edition collaboration: the Glock x Aimpoint COA combo, featuring the new Aimpoint COA red dot optic mounted on select Glock 9mm pistols.

KelTec claims this gun is 40% lighter than the next lightest pistol chambered for 5.7x28mm. It weighs just 13.86oz and is a mere .937 inches wide. It feels remarkably slim.

Besides being gold-plated stainless steel, the standout features of the 47 are the Damascus grips and trigger. Cabot is famous for using uniquely forged Damascus steel to craft their guns, often going as far as making images or text appear in the texture.
