The Century Arms Draco NAK9 is built in Romania but has arrived here to deliver fun.

The Sig Sauer P938 brings the beloved 1911 ergonomics into a small, easy-to-conceal package. At only 1.1 inches wide, the P938 is slim and easy to handle. A crisp single-action only trigger helps produce accuracy that is outstanding for a pistol of its size. The stainless steel slide and all-metal frame make the gun feel handle like a larger pistol without feeling bulky or overly large. With a 7+1 capacity, the P938 isn’t far off in capacity of its larger 9mm 1911 brethren but is small enough to be carried comfortably all day.
The HK USP (Universal Service Pistol) was created to be an ultra-reliable and durable handgun for military and law enforcement use. It has since been adopted by nations around the world and has earned a reputation as one of the toughest pistols on the planet. The .45 ACP version features a 4.41-inch polygonal rifled barrel, 12+1 capacity, a hostile environment corrosion-resistant blued finish, an ambi paddle mag release, and a reinforced polymer frame. A patented recoil reduction system not only helps cut down on felt recoil, but these guns are strong enough to safely fire .45 Super without any modifications. The end result is a DA/SA hammer fired pistol that is primed to take on the toughest of tasks, even 30 years after its initial development.
The Steyr L9-A2 MF is the second generation of Steyr’s M-series of striker-fired, polymer-framed handguns. These pistols have a 17+1 capacity, a 4.5-inch barrel, and a fairly crisp trigger that breaks at around 4.5 pounds. Shooters will enjoy a very high grip and an extremely low bore axis thanks to the aggressive ergonomic choices and grip angle of the L9-A2. Trapezoidal sights, adjustable backstraps, adjustable palm swell panels, and a flared magwell are among the other features found on these guns. All of these features make for a very flat-shooting and soft-recoiling pistol that rides securely in the hand.

The MCX Spear is a feature-rich rifle with a comfortable grip, adjustable gas system, and a fully ambidextrous setup. The Sig Sauer MCX Spear is a great choice for anyone looking for a modern, reliable, and versatile battle rifle.
Remington, under new management as RemArms, has reintroduced the legendary 870 Wingmaster. At its heart lies the proven dual-action bar 870 action and a solid steel machined billet receiver. The Wingmaster is a step above its Fieldmaster brethren, sporting a high gloss blued finish and figured American walnut furniture. This iconic pump action is ready to bust clays or hunt birds once again and is available in 12, 20, and .410 guage.
The Remington 870 is one of the most-produced and most well-proven pump-action shotguns of all time. Twin action bars ensure a non-binding, smooth pump operation, and the receiver is milled from a solid billet of steel. Built for defensive use, the tactical models feature an 18.5-inch barrel and either come with a standard 4+1 or 6+1 capacity. A variety of stocks, including wood, synthetic, and adjustable, are available so that users can find a model to suit their needs. A standard non-glare matte finish and a bead sight highlight the simplicity and ruggedness that the 870 Tactical is known for.
The Winchester SXP Defender is a great shotgun for those looking for a solid home defense or combat shotgun. A 5+1 capacity, chrome plated 18″ fixed cylinder choke barrel, and tough matte finish and synthetic furniture make this no-frills shotgun well suited for hard work. Billed as the “world’s fastest pump shotgun”, the SXP utilizes an inertia-assisted action to help speed up the process of cycling the gun. It is available in 12 or 20-gauge and can be had with either a standard stock or a pistol grip version. The speed, reliability, and toughness make this a hard gun to beat in its price range.
The Glock 43 harnesses all the world-renowned reliability that Glock is known for, all in a tiny package. Coming in just under 1 inch wide and under 14 ounces, the G42 is easy to conceal, no matter the method or environment. These guns feature an extended beavertail, textured grip, and enlarged magazine to help manage recoil and ensure smooth operation. For those looking for a reliable, concealable pistol, these single-stack 6+1 pistols are great.
The Glock 48 takes the universal standard Glock 19 and slims it down into a more concealable but still easy-to-shoot platform. A barrel length of 4.17 inches, a standard capacity of 10 rounds, and an overall width of only 1.1 inches. An overall weight of 20.7 ounces helps keep things relatively light, further improving the ease of carry. Although the trigger is the standard mediocre 5.5-pound Glock affair and the capacity is lower than some of the competition, it makes up for that in reliability and aftermarket.
The Tavor X95 is the next-generation version of the popular Tavor SAR from IWI. Having been in service with the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) since 2010, the X95 has proven itself to be a rugged, reliable, compact combat rifle. New additions to the X95 over its predecessor include a lighter 5-6 pound trigger, repositioning of the ambi mag release to a more favorable spot, a Picatinny railed forearm, and better placement of the charging handle. It is available in either a 16.5 or 18.5-inch barrel, giving an overall length of either 26.1 or 28.1 inches. While it is a bit heavier at around 8 pounds, this long-stroke gas piston gun bullpup provides solid accuracy and reliability in an easy-to-maneuver package.
The M1 Garand was the first standard-issue self-loading rifle adopted by the US. A simple but elegant design, the Garand uses a long-stroke gas piston that operates a rotating bolt. It is fed by an 8-round en-bloc clip that makes the distinctive “ping” sound once the clip is automatically ejected after all the rounds are spent. Chambered in the powerful 30-06 cartridge, the semi-automatic Garand gave US soldiers a huge edge over enemies and allies alike who were still using slower bolt-action rifles.
