HK announced the introduction of the HK45 Tactical to the civilian market. Â It looks like you will be able to get them in all sorts of tactical colors and with a threaded barrel.
Probably the oddest thing about this product announcement is that the HK45 Tactical is shown in a photograph with a “dummy” sound suppressor and is captioned “depiction of suppressor does not constitute endorsement.” Â Huh? Â Do they not endorse the use of eye protection either?
THIS IS SPARTA…or at least a 1911 commemorating the ancient Greek nation-state. Â The SIG 1911 Spartan is a special edition, full-size 1911 with a great looking finish. Â While I am sure this gun will shoot, this is an awesome bar-b-que gun.
The finish is an oil-rubbed bronze Nitron finish, while the engraved “Molon Labe” on the slide is 24k gold inlayed. Â Controls and other accents are black. Â The grips are Hogue Spartan grips.
As one would expect, the 1911 Spartan is chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. Â Both the hammer and the trigger are skeletonized. Â The pistol comes with a single magazine. Â Both the frame and the slide are made of stainless steel.
The much rumored Ruger SR1911 commander is now a reality after the company announced its introduction on its website. Â Ever since the introduction of the original SR1911, Ruger and 1911 fans have been asking for a commander-sized gun.
The new SR1911 commander is a traditional 1911-style pistol that is slightly shortened in general parameters of the original Colt commander 1911 pistols. Â The gun has a shorter barrel length (4.25″ instead of the full length 5″ barrel) and only holds seven, not eight, rounds in each magazine.
Welcome the Ruger LC380, a merging the popular LCP and LC9 platforms.
Ruger is introducing a new .380 ACP chambered pistol in the same form factor as the LC9 handgun. Â The key benefit is less recoil than the 9mm version of the gun.
Many of the specs are the same or similar to the LC9. Â Width is 0.9″ for both and the weight is only slightly heavier (17.2 ounces for the LC380 and 17.1 ounces for the LC9). Â Magazine capacity, seven rounds, is the same.
The Ruger SR45 is now a reality. Â Just days ahead of the 2013 SHOT Show, Sturm, Ruger & Co announced the big bore addition to the company’s popular “SR” series of handguns.
Chambered in .45 ACP, the new SR45 comes standard with 10-round magazines, giving the shooter a lot of firepower. Â Yet, Ruger claims the SR45 remains a relatively thin pistol like the SR9 and SR40. Â According to the specs, the SR45 is 1.27″ wide, which is just 0.07″ wider than a Smith & Wesson M&P. Â The grip width is not specifically mentioned for the SR45.
