Springfield Armory's DS Prodigy Comp AOS is a double-stack 1911 with a whole lot of features and a small price tag. Is it worth it? We tested it at the range to find out.

The Beretta APX A1 Carry is a micro-compact 9mm pistol that won us over on price, but can it compete in features?

A 2011 that takes Glock mags? We take the new Staccato HD P4 to the range to see if this duty gun lives up to the hype.

The Rost Martin RM1C Comped brings an integrated compensator to the budget 9mm market. But does it perform? We hit the range for a full review.

The Springfield Armory Echelon takes on the compact striker-fired handgun market, but does this competitor have an edge? We find out.

Is the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro the best high-capacity carry gun? With a 17-round capacity but mid-compact size, it just might be a game-changer...

The Micro Dagger seems like an attractive option for budget shoppers, but does this Glock clone measure up to "perfection"...we find out.

Is the Sig Sauer P365-FUSE the ideal blend of full-size and micro-compact? We put 500+ rounds through it to see if this pistol lives up to the hype.

Staccato’s new compact C offers top-notch accuracy but is this 2011 ready for carry? We take the Staccato C to the range to find out.
