Rock Island STK100

I’ve been recommending Rock Island Armory’s traditional 1911-style pistols for a long time. Now RIA has branched away from the traditional with its new STK100, a striker-fired 9 mm with a 17+1 capacity, and I’ll be recommending them even more.

Taurus GX4

The Taurus GX4 is a micro-compact, striker-fired handgun with a double-stack magazine. It performs as well or better than the highest-priced guns in this hot category.

Biden Wants Your 9 mm And ...

During a CNN “town hall” meeting in late July, President Joe Biden said he wants to outlaw America’s most-popular handgun: the 9 mm semi-automatic pistol.

PolitiFact is Lying About Biden’s Desire to Ban 9 mms

It is exceptionally irritating when a “fact checker” lies. Especially when this “fact checker” is a company Facebook uses to censor content.

FN 509

A relatively new Austrian upstart seems to be taking all the glory lately, but when it comes to self-loading pistols, FN has been at it the longest, starting with the Browning-design Model 1899.

Kimber Micro 9 Rapide

The Kimber Micro 9 Rapide (Black Ice) is one sharp-looking 9 mm concealed-carry pistol. When you have a whistle-worthy looker like this, you might want to take it out and show it off to others, which is why these are often called “barbecue guns” (though the range is probably a better place to show it off).

SCCY CPX-2

As an affordable, everyday-carry pistol, the SCCY CPX-2 has much to offer and should be on your short list of options.

Mossberg MC2c

Mossberg, a well-known name for shotguns, moved into the semi-automatic pistol market last year with the MC1sc, a subcompact 9 mm. The MC1sc was a hit with concealed carriers, and a hard act to follow, but Mossberg has nonetheless one-upped themselves with the MC2c, a sharp-looking, compact, striker-fired 9 mm boasting some very thoughtful design details.

Ruger PC Charger

Pistol-caliber carbines are hot. Rifle designs built as pistols are hot. Ruger has combined the two and added even more.

Nighthawk Counselor

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.
