We could name all the established brands in relatively short order and their countries of origin, their products\u2019 places in law enforcement and world conflicts as well as their relative strengths and weaknesses. Some have been around longer than others, of course, and, to be clear, I\u2019m not suggesting some sort of chronological snobbery where company longevity means product excellence. Any manufacturer, no matter how venerable, can produce a lemon. It doesn\u2019t happen often, but it does happen.<\/p>\n<p>But what I\u2019m interested in discussing today are a few guns that are relatively new to the market or perhaps at least new to you. These guns may have been out for only a few years, but they demonstrate what enterprising companies can do with all of the excellent computer-aided design and machining available to them today. With that, here are the top five newer guns I recommend you try.<\/p>\n<h2>1.

These guns are small, lightweight, reliable, accurate and simple to maintain. The two 9mm variants come in a variety of colors and offer two 10-round magazines. The .380 also comes with two 10-round magazines.<\/p>\n<p>One of the 9mm variants offers a manual safety, and all of them are available with either a Black Nitride or Natural Stainless slide at no variance in price. And all weigh in at a mere 15 ounces. Despite the light weight they are eminently shootable and even fun, and you can find plenty of excellent holsters in which to carry these guns. These guns, and others like them, do a lot to further the ability of people from all walks of life to find a dependable, accurate handgun with which they can defend themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>***Shop for a SCCY CPX <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?Keyword=SCCY%20CPX\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"top-five-newer-guns-i-recommend-you-try\" title=\"Top Five Newer Guns I Recommend You Try\">on GunsAmerica<\/a>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>2.

The all-steel P100 from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tristararms.com\/\" campaign=\"TriStarP100\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">TriStar<\/a> weighs 2.3 pounds and sports a 3.7-inch barrel, making it a typical compact with plenty of heft but easy shootability.<\/p>\n<p>Available in 9mm or .40, you\u2019ll carry 15 or 11 rounds, respectively, in one magazine. It comes with two magazines \u2014 Mec-Gar at that \u2014 and all that shooting I did with this gun demonstrated 100 percent reliability and consistency. Although a double-action\/single-action, you carry the P100 with the hammer back and safety on, 1911-style. You can lower the hammer manually if you want, but why would you want to? The single-action stroke required to send a round down range is near perfect and the sweep required to get the safety off is a natural thumb down, also like a 1911.<\/p>\n<p>The sights are nothing to write home about, but they\u2019re easily replaced. And with an MSRP of $490, this gun (plus a new set of night sights) won\u2019t set you back too far. With its black polymer checked-grip panels, the P100 feels great in hand, but more credit goes to the grip angle and built-in beavertail. Finished in Black Cerakote, the P100 sports a Picatinny rail and looks good, but otherwise it\u2019s the best kind of boring for a defensive pistol.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>***Shop for a Tristar P100 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?Keyword=Tristar\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"top-five-newer-guns-i-recommend-you-try\" title=\"Top Five Newer Guns I Recommend You Try\">on GunsAmerica<\/a>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>3.

I\u2019ve actually fired a .40-caliber version of this gun and found it to be one of the most dependable and accurate combat pistols \u2014 just like the CZ-75.<\/p>\n<p>A couple things to be aware of: You carry the Jericho 941 cocked and locked. So, unless you manually drop the hammer, every shot requires a sweep of the manual safety and then a very short, crisp trigger squeeze. Even in its mid-size, polymer-framed form, this gun is every bit a \u201cduty gun.\u201d And it is so utterly dependable that it borders on boring at the range. Aim, squeeze, fire, hit. It has a great feel in the hand, also similar to a CZ.<\/p>\n<p>The gun is absolutely solid and robust in every action and movement.

Loaded with features and lightweight but robust, this Scout provides the precision and accuracy of a bolt-action rifle with a bolt action that can be manipulated very quickly for fast follow-up shots.<\/p>\n<p>Key features to keep in mind: the AccuStock rail system; user-adjustable AccuTrigger; a durable, flat dark-earth synthetic stock; an 18-inch barrel with muzzle brake; adjustable cheek piece; and 10-round detachable box magazine. The iron sights are excellent, but you can mount an optic on the included accessory rail to really benefit from the gun\u2019s accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>Firing a bolt-action .308 or other high-powered caliber means your shoulder takes the brunt of the recoil, but the padded buttstock does a great job as a mediator between you and the gun so it\u2019s no problem to fire multiple 10-round magazines before your shoulder tires. The concept of the scout rifle has been around for decades; the Savage Model 11 Scout (MSRP $818) represents a current offering in this category of rifle \u2014 and one you shouldn\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>***Shop for a Savage Model 11 Scout <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?Keyword=Savage%20Model%2011%20Scout\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"top-five-newer-guns-i-recommend-you-try\" title=\"Top Five Newer Guns I Recommend You Try\">on GunsAmerica<\/a>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Discover how you can join more than 200,000 responsibly armed Americans who already rely on the USCCA to protect their families, futures and freedoms: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscca.com\/GunsAmerica\" campaign=\"USCCATop5\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">USCCA.com\/gunsamerica<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These guns may have been out for only a few years, but they demonstrate what enterprising companies can do with all of the excellent computer-aided design and machining available to them today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":83764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,234,340],"tags":[132,586,127,329,626,621,544],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-83759","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-columns","9":"category-columns-ccw-edc","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-column","12":"tag-concealed-carry","13":"tag-edc","14":"tag-opinion","15":"tag-pistol","16":"tag-top-5"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Top Five Newer Guns I Recommend You Try<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"But what I\u2019m interested in discussing today are a few guns that are relatively new to the market or perhaps at least new to you.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/top-five-newer-guns-i-recommend-you-try\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Top Five Newer Guns I Recommend You Try\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"These guns may have been out for only a few years, but they demonstrate what enterprising companies can do with all of the excellent computer-aided design and machining available to them today.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/top-five-newer-guns-i-recommend-you-try\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-12-20T19:04:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-21T13:48:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/savagescout.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1110\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"863\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
