MasterPiece Arms announced the addition of an AR-type pistol to the company lineup. 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 version of the gun.
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 the opportunity.
I was given unexpected latitude in exploring the facility and photographing the production process. The photos and information in this article are from that factory tour.
Caracal announced today a recall of every C model pistol the company has ever made. The recall is not limited to any specific serial numbers or market.
The safety issue(s) with the Caracal C cannot be fixed according to information released by the company. No guns will be repaired and/or returned to the purchaser. Caracal is offering a full refund of the original purchase price or vouchers for other Caracal products.
Caracal has completely revamped their pistol product line, eliminating the original F, C and SC models and replacing them with the CP660, CP661 and CP662 handguns. Additionally, the company introduced two completely new pistols: the CP663 and CP664.

ISSC M22 pistols are now available in Moon Shine camo including Harvest Moon, Muddy Girl and Outshine patterns. All of the Moon Shine pistols have a 4″ barrel and a MSRP of $469. Magazines hold ten rounds.
If you are not already familiar with the M22 pistols, they are .22 LR handguns that have an appearance very similar to the Glock line of handguns. The M22 is available in various barrel lengths and run from $428 – $554 depending on the model purchased. In addition to the Moon Shine camo patterns, the M22 is available with black, pink green and sand colored frames.
Arthur Welling, aka CarTeach0, reviewed the M22 a few years back. He gives the pistol a very thorough review. If you are interested in the pistols, it is a “must read.” If you don’t like the M22, no matter – go read the CarTeach0 site anyway. There are a lot of great reviews and articles there. Everything from reloading for an old mil-surp rifle to a review on this gun.
Legacy Sports, the company that imports the ISSC M22 pistols, produced a short video showing you how to disassemble the pistol for cleaning:
