Edge Arms Reliant Pistol: Quad Barrel .22 Magnum

Edge Arms Reliant

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 of a slide, cylinder and external hammer means the gun can be reliably fired from a concealed location (such as from within a jacket pocket*) or in contact with an assailant’s body with little chance of malfunction. Edge Arms highlights this fact on the company’s website, stating “shoots every time, cannot jam from ammo misfeed or ejection.”

MPAR 556 Pistol

MPA 556 pistol

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.

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.

According to Caracal, the new pistols offer “enhanced performance, interchangeable features and improved safety units.” What this specifically means, remains to be seen. But, I am guessing it relates to the complete recall of all Caracal C pistols. Here is what we know so far…

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.

ISSC M22

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:
