New Kahr Arms CT Series Pistols
Kahr Arms was a fairly unknown company for its first few years, but quickly moved from the fringe to a major competitor in the CCW and mid-range priced pistol market.

Walther CCP Compact 9mm
Walther released their CCP compact 9mm pistol at SHOT Show this year. Richard and I were able to put our hands on one at the Industry Day at the Range.

Coonan 1911 in .357 Magnum

Glock Modular Optic System (MOS)
Though so many Glock fans were looking for the announcement of the Glock single-stack compact 9mm pistol, Glock did not feed that hunger at SHOT Show this year. I'm beginning to think that Glock won't produce what the market demands, simply so they can maintain some kind of twisted belief that they are in charge of the market. Instead they promoted their new Modular Optic … [Read more...]
