Magnum Research announced the introduction of an “ultra-compact, ultra-light” 1911 style pistol called the Desert Eagle 1911 Undercover or the DE1911U. The new pistol will be chambered in .45 ACP and will have a 3″ bull barrel. The muzzle has an 11° crown. The magazines hold six rounds. The frame is made of aluminum and […]
It appears a new longslide .45 is coming from Smyrna: the Glock 41 pistol. There has not been an official statement from Glock, but the guns have started popping up in online catalogs around the internet. The new Glock 41 handguns will be “practical-tactical” versions of the company’s model 21 SF, with a 5.3″ barrel […]
SIG Sauer announced a new version of the P290 pistol. The SIG P290 ORB is functionally identical to the P290 ES I previously reviewed, but it has an oil rubbed bronze coated slide. This is the same finish used on the popular SIG 1911 Spartan pistol that we saw at this year’s SHOT Show. The […]
Kahr will introduce two new, full-sized pistols in 2014: the CT40 and the CT45 handguns. The new pistols will be the same size as the TP series guns, but with a much lower suggested retail price. Like the CW-series of handguns, Kahr is reducing the production costs on the CT40 and the CT45 through the […]
European American Armory Corporation, or EAA, showed off a new line of pistols at the NASGW Expo geared for the female market. While part of the marketing for these new handguns is the availability of non-traditional colors, the company is going a step farther and is addressing the issues that some people have with running […]
I find the new Edge Arms Reliant pistol to be a very intriguing concealed carry handgun. It is a four barrel, subcompact pistol chambered in .22 WMR (aka .22 Magnum). A second pistol chambered in .17 HMR will also be manufactured. The pistol uses a break open design, not unlike the DoubleTap pistol. A lack […]
Armscor is developing a new duty pistol that will “revolutionize the law enforcement industry.” Martin Tuason, the CEO of Armscor, was on the Down Range Radio podcast with Michael Bane last week. During the course of the conversation, Tuason spoke candidly about the company’s current lines, the expansion of the company’s ammunition business and the […]
MasterPiece Arms announced the addition of a AR-type pistol to the company line up. The new MPAR 556 pistol is not-surprisingly based on the company’s MPAR 556 rifle. It is chambered for the 5.56 NATO cartridge and will also fire the .223 Remington. The pistol retains many of the same features found on the rifle […]
SIG Sauer makes some very reliable, very tough fighting handguns. I’ve owned a P220 and several P226 pistols. My final stop in my police career required I carry a P226 chambered in .40 S&W. It never failed me. But when it comes to subcompact pistols for backup or concealed carry, SIG Sauer is not the […]
SIG Sauer offers two factory engraved P226 pistols. The handguns feature custom engraved slides, custom wood grips and two different finishes. The first pistol is called the P226 Engraved. This handgun features a black anodized frame. The slide is polished black stainless steel with custom engraving. The grips are wood with a SIG medallion embedded […]
Ever toured a gun factory? A few companies invite the public on guided tours, but walking the factory floor is something normally not done by people outside of the company’s employ. Recently, I was offered the chance to tour the manufacturing facility where Double Tap Defense pistols are made. Needless to say, I jumped at […]
