OUR TAKE:
"The Glock 17 Gen6 still feels unmistakably like a Glock, but the upgrades make it easier to control, more comfortable to shoot, and more modern for today’s red dot shooters.”
— DAVE LUU
OUR TAKE:
“The duty-grade Echelon series had already proven itself across several prior reviews, and the new version ups the ante with a more controllable pistol that is still concealable, has a significant magazine capacity, and just plain works for either home defense or carry use.”
— CHRIS EGER
OUR TAKE:
“After putting over 3,000 rounds through this gun and carrying it for countless hours, I've come to the conclusion it's one of the best compact guns on the market. The Pro-E added some nice upgrades while keeping the heart and soul of the PDP lineup, which is superior ergonomics paired with rock-solid reliability. I'm excited to publish the review on this gun very soon.”
— SETH RODGERS
OUR TAKE:
“I love this gun. HK has brought a gun to market that’s what the company’s U.S. audience has craved for years: a slim micro-compact that runs like a tank with features galore and a great trigger to boot. After 1,000 rounds, I haven’t had a malfunction, and I still haven’t even broken the gun down for a cleaning.”
— SETH RODGERS
OUR TAKE:
“On the range, the P365 AXG Legion sets itself so far apart that I am comfortable saying it’s the nicest compact handgun I have ever shot.”
— ALEXANDER REVILLE
OUR TAKE:
“CZ responded to those who wanted a safe-to-carry Shadow 2 Compact with the same race gun lineage known and loved for generations, and the resulting Shadow 2 Carry delivers on that promise, blending style, performance, and dependability in one platform.”
— CHRIS EGER
OUR TAKE:
“What really impressed me was how the 22TUC felt when I picked it up. The finger grooves and improved grip texture are nice, but the feather-like weight makes this thing float in my hand."
— PAUL PETERSON
OUR TAKE:
“On a defensive gun that can shoot full-power .357 Magnums, any help staying on target is appreciated. The gun maintains decent ballistics with a short barrel but allows a shooter to group better and faster. The entire package is a unique take on modernizing the wheel gun and using it as a serious tool in your carry rotation.”
— ANDY BUDNIK
OUR TAKE:
“The ergonomics are superb, and about every aspect of the classic 1911 design has been updated for better performance – while it remains a 1911. The Series 80 trigger system has pluses and minuses, but SIG does it well and the trigger doesn't have the same 'mush' common with the type."
— CHRIS EGER
OUR TAKE:
“This gun is a champ and works well for self-defense distances of 10 yards and under. I love being able to toss on a pair of gym shorts and carry this gun AIWB, knowing it’s not going anywhere or printing, even under a tank top.
If you’re looking for a comfortable carry pistol, this is it."
— SETH RODGERS
