CZ Custom is rolling out two new and updated pistols for the U.S. market this Spring, the Shadow 2 for competition and the Semi-Compact everyday carry.

The CZ P-10 C, which is quite a lot to spit out, is the latest foray of CZ into the polymer frame market. We haven’t seen a striker-fired CZ in quite sometime, and it looks like the Czech engineers spent that time in the lab though, turning out a very good pistol for the US market.

Patriot Ordnance Factory (POF-USA) looked at the 7.62mm AR design and began to crunch numbers and inspect designs. They believed that there was a way to merge the two worlds of the 7.62mm AR and AR-15. Essentially to make a gun that has .308 performance with a 5.56 size. They decided it was time for a revolution.

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.

This is a great move for MasterPiece Arms and win for CZ. Together shooters can build a low-cost, high-precision rimfire rifle with a solid feature set.

The Red Army C39V2 has changed all that; this is a modern gun that offers options for lights, optics, and a pain-free shooting experience for the human holding it. Accuracy has been improved, and reliability has been maintained. To top it all off, this package can be purchased without funding a system that does not have our best interests at heart. This is truly an American gun, for Americans.

The holy grail for precision shooting is being able to quickly gauge the distance to your target and take the shot. To that end, Bresser’s new rifle-mounted Equalizer laser rangefinder provides the accurate measurements you need without having to deal with an often-cumbersome separate piece of kit not on your gun.

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.
