Editor’s Note: The Savage Stance is the first pistol in Savage's lineup in over 100 years. At just under 1 inch thick with a 7 or 8+1 single stack magazine, the Stance is made to be easily concealable. The front of the slide is beveled for a snag-free draw and easy reholstering, and the 360-degree aggressive grip texture ensures comfort and controllability. Wide slide serrations ensure easy manipulation of the gun. Additional models include various different colors, night sights, and external safety versions.

By The Numbers

Accuracy
While the sights on the Stance are great, I struggled at first to group shots well with it. I asked two other shooters to try the gun and they had similar experiences. I really think it has much to do with the trigger. Practice showed I was able to tighten my groups significantly but at the expense of time.
Reliability
The Stance performed well without malfunction over the course of 200 rounds of Remington UMC 115 grain 9mm. It fed and ejected reliably without fail through the brief test.
Customization
There are a few options for accessories available to the Stance. Savage has a number of holster choices lined up as well as laser options from companies like Crimson Trace and Viridian. At the time of this review, there is not yet a weapon light for the Stance. There is also not currently an option to add a red dot.
Ergonomics
The ergonomics of the Stance are good. The grip texture is powerful and the slide is serrated front and rear for easy manipulation. I found handling the pistol easier with the longer magazine.

FINAL VERDICT

"Savage made a bold dive into a crowded marketplace with the Stance. Their first entry into the handgun world (in over 100 years) is a great start. I’m curious to see how competitive Savage is going to be in this field. If they push the boundaries in their refinements moving forward, we all stand to benefit. I could easily imagine a red dot option and increased capacity in the future. Whichever direction they go, it’s a Savage, and that alone is pretty cool." - Sean Curtis
