Boberg XR9-L: Longslide Version of this Unique Pistol

By Richard on February 3, 2013 1 Comments

Boberg XR9-L

The Boberg XR9-L is a new addition to the company’s ingenious concealed carry line of pistols.  There are a lot of unique features to this pistol that are explained farther down.  If you are already familiar with the pistols, I’ll quickly fill you in on the differences in this model.

Essentially, the XR9-L is the same gun as the company’s original XR9-S, but with a little added on to the end of the barrel and slide.  It has the same length grip and overall height.  It is the same width.  The magazines are the same.

The barrel on the XR9-L, however, is 4.2″ long, which is up from the shorter XR9′s 3.35″ barrel.  Gun length is longer as well:  5.95″ vs. 5.1″.  The sight radius is also increased to 5.25″ from 4.4″

Bersa BP9CC at 2013 SHOT Show

By Richard on January 31, 2013 No Comments

Bersa BP9CC Green

Eagle Imports was showing multiple colored frames of the Bersa BP9CC at the 2013 SHOT Show.  As I previously reported, Bersa is making a green framed pistol, but they will also be making a tan framed one as well.

The OD green BP9CC should start importing a little later this year; perhaps as soon as the end of the first quarter.  Don’t hold me or them to that, though.  Since they are being imported, they have a lot of ATF hoops to jump through, and I am sure agents of the federal government are not the easiest folks in the world to work with right now.

SIG P938 at the 2013 SHOT Show

SIG P938 silencer

SIG Sauer had several of the popular P938 pistols on display.  While the current P938 models have proved to be popular concealed carry handguns, more eyes were drawn to the display case featuring a special P938 equipped with rubber grips, a threaded barrel and a sound suppressor.

Caracal CC10 Carbine

By Aaron on January 24, 2013 9 Comments

Caracal CC10 picture

Introduced in the summer of 2012, the 2013 SHOT Show was our first opportunity to get our hands on the new Caracal CC10 9mm carbine.  The “CC” stands for “Caracal Carbine”.  The CC10 has a steel receiver and barrel, with a polymer frame, however no details were given on the type of steel.

The CC10 will come in (2) variants – the SB (short barrel version) and the LB (long barrel version).  The SB versions are marketed towards law enforcement, while the LB versions are promoted to the civilian market.  Unfortunately, I was not able to put some rounds downrange with this carbine to truly give it a full review.  [Ed. note:  When we were at the morning session of Media Day during the 2013 SHOT Show, Caracal did not have the CC10 at the range.   They promised to have it there later in the day, but it was never seen by any of our writers.]

More on the Saiga-9 Carbine

By Richard on November 5, 2012 1 Comments

We’re getting out first photos of the new Saiga-9 carbine from Izhmash.  This photo was taken at the company’s demo booth at the Arms and Hunting Expo held in Moscow last month.

Saiga-9 carbine

As you can see in the photo, the Saiga-9 retains many of the styling cues from the Vityaz-SN, on which the new carbine is based.  The folding rear stock retains the triangle shape and the pistol grip appears to be the same.  Like the military weapon, the Saiga-9 has a Picatinny rail on top of the receiver cover, allowing for the addition of optics.

Green Bersa BP9CC

By Richard on November 2, 2012 5 Comments

green Bersa BP9CC

Looks like I missed this before, but you can now get an OD green Bersa BP9CC pistol.  The olive-colored BP9 pistol is otherwise the same as the original black-framed Bersa pistol.

Bersa has long been popular with people looking for an affordable and reliable concealed carry gun.  However, they never really caught my imagination until the development of the BP9CC pistols.  I really like the lines of the BP9 pistols, and they feel good in the hand.

More on the Saiga-9 Carbine

By Richard on October 17, 2012 7 Comments

Saiga-9 carbineThe new Saiga-9 carbine is a civilian version of the Vityaz-SN submachine gun, and was first reported by GunsHolstersAndGear.com.  Since then, we’ve developed additional information on the new carbine.

The Saiga-9 will be chambered for the 9×19 (aka 9mm Parabellum and 9mm Luger) cartridge.  Standard magazine capacity is only 10 rounds, but I expect that surplus aftermarket, high-capacity magazines would be available.  I presume the abnormally low round count mags is an intentional plan to assist with export/import regulations.  There will be a magazine coupler available for faster reloads.
