FMK 9C2 LE Compact Pistol

By Richard on January 12, 2012 No Comments

American Tactical Imports (ATI) announced they will be showing the FMK 9C2 LE Compact pistol at the 2012 SHOT Show.  The 9C2 compact is an expansion of the line of pistols that include the larger 9C1 pistol.

Information is limited on this pistol, but if it shares design features with it’s bigger brother, the FMK 9C2 will be a DAO, striker fired pistol.  The pistol will have a polymer frame and a low-glare, matte black finish.

Standard sights are a three-dot, post and notch design.  It appears fibre optic sights may be a factory option.  The sights are dovetailed, and can be swapped out for something different.

.22 UZI

By Richard on January 8, 2012 No Comments

uzi 22 LRTo paraphrase Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator… “UZI .22 rimfire.”

Ok, it doesn’t have the same panache as a 9mm UZI, but the new Carl Walther rimfires being imported by Umarex certainly look the part.  Read more details on the new fun guns at The Firearm Blog.

Expect to see more information on these from the 2012 SHOT Show.

Ported Kahr 9mm Barrel

By Richard on January 6, 2012 No Comments

Kahr Ported BarrelKahr makes a drop in ported barrel for their K9 and E9 pistols.  The 9mm handguns are not known for excessive recoil, but the ported 4″ barrel will help lessen felt recoil.

The barrel is a user “drop in” part, requiring no gunsmithing.  The ported barrel has an MSRP of $154.99, but Kahr appears to be offering them for $129.99.  Kahr notes this is a special price, so the lower price is not likely to last forever.

Additional Ruger SR22 Pistol Information

By Richard on January 4, 2012 3 Comments

Ruger SR22The Ruger SR22 pistol was announced on January 2, and additional information is still coming out on the new handgun.  We’ll be able to get out hands on them at the SHOT Show and pick the brains of the folks involved in the development.  Until then, here is some additional information on the new pistols.

Light Double Action – As previously reported, the SR22 pistol has a traditional double-action/single-action (DA/SA) set up with an exposed hammer (not striker).  Ruger specifically describes the double action pull as “light double action.”  Jeff Quinn over at GunBlast.com got a production SR22 and measured the DA pull as 7.7 pounds and the SA pull at 4.1 pounds.
