Walther took their renowned PPQ design and combined it with the classic American .45 ACP caliber to produce an accurate pistol with minimal recoil and excellent ergonomics. The PPQ 45 has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds and also features Walther’s famous quick defense trigger. An ambidextrous slide stop and reversible magazine release ensure it is a great fit for both lefties and righties. The result is a user-friendly, reliable handgun with top-notch accuracy and reliability.
The Tisas 1911 A1 is a faithful reproduction of John Moses Browning’s classic 1911 pistol. A curved mainspring housing, gray Cerakote finish, GI-style sights, and Turkish walnut grips complete the classic WWII styling. These guns boast a forged frame, slide, and barrel while maintaining an extremely consumer-friendly price.
The Sig P210 CARRY is the latest iteration of the historic Swiss-originated P210 pistol. New changes include new checkered G10 grips, a stainless steel slide, and a lightweight aluminum alloy frame. The P210 carry slims things down with a 4.1″ barrel and is also equipped with Siglite night sights and two 8-round magazines. This new carry version carries on the spirit of the original P210 while creating a more svelte and lightweight option for those who are seeking a precision concealed carry pistol.
The Grand Power Stribog SP9A1 is a 9mm pistol/PCC with a non-reciprocating charging handle. These guns feature an 8-inch threaded barrel and an aluminum frame. Utilizing a simple direct blowback design, these guns are rugged and incredibly reliable. Flip-up sights, 30-round magazines, and AR-style controls help make the Stribog an affordable yet feature-rich option in today’s market.
The Grand Power Stribog SP9A3S utilizes a newer non-reciprocating charging handle and roller-delayed blowback design. These guns are chambered in 9MM with a 5″ threaded barrel and an aluminum frame. The SP9A3S offers the reliability of the previous SP9A1 while reducing recoil via the roller-delayed operation, resulting in a soft-shooting and durable weapon.
The Glock 30 is a .45 ACP that punches above its class when it comes to concealed carry. While it still features those Glock ergonomics, which you either love or hate, it shoots well and is extremely reliable. A shorter grip area might prove difficult for some shooters to get a full firing grip. If you can deal with a loose pinky, though, it’s a soft shooting .45 ACP that is perfect for those who want to CCW something other than 9mm.
The Beretta 80X Cheetah is a modernized version of Beretta’s older 84 Cheetah line. Nice updates to the platform include improved ergonomics, an optics-ready slide, and an accessory rail. These guns are a bit bigger than most .380 ACP guns, and feel more substantial and easier to shoot. If you want something between a compact 9mm pistol and a pocket .380, the 80X Cheetah is that perfect in-between.
The full-size CZ Shadow 2 is one of the most winning competition handguns of all time. The CZ Shadow 2 Compact takes all the shootability, ergonomics, accuracy, and performance of the larger Shadow 2 and scales it down into a package that is suitable for concealed carry. While this kind of performance doesn’t come cheap, the discerning concealed-carrier may find it worth it to spend the money to get something that shoots as well as this.
The Henry Axe .410 is a neat pistol grip only lever-action gun that is classified as an “other firearm,” and thus is technically not a shotgun. It is a super fun, compact plinker in a very unique and well-built package. However, its use cases are extremely limited, as are any potential upgrades.
