When you get a chance to review a Nighthawk pistol like the Counselor, you don’t say no. And so that is how I ended up testing the personal pistol of the Nighthawk’s CEO Mark Stone.

The Taurus G3 was the start of a new lineup. A duty-sized pistol, it was just the item you needed for a daily holster-carry sidearm. But those who prefer a more-compact version are now all set with the G3c.

The idea of a daily carry pistol is now so common that it passes without notice in many circles. As the weather gets hot, those who do everyday carry look to find something smaller and lighter.

In early 2020, Glock finally introduced a handgun chambered in the world’s most-popular cartridge: the .22 LR, giving us the Glock 44.

Like the Tardis in “Dr. Who,” it’s bigger on the inside.

The .380 ACP is sometimes given short shrift. It isn’t a 9 mm, and to a lot of people that makes it puny. Maybe, but a .380 in your holster beats a 9 mm left at home.

When it comes to making things people want, there’s nothing like a free-market economy. Today, we are able to carry 9mm pistols that are no larger than the .380s we used to carry, and the new 9s have more features and better functionality than the .380s ever had.
