The Sig P238 is a 1911 inspired .380 ACP micro-compact handgun that’s lightweight and gorgeous. It’s key feature is it’s micro-compact size which makes this gun a great CCW choice. The P238 resembles a 1911, especially the Springfield 1911 in that it’s classic in design. “It’s a soft shooting .380 ACP with a nice aesthetic and reliable nature — the perfect companion when it comes to situations that require ultra-concealment.” – Jacki Billings, Editor
The Colt Combat Commander is a 1911 that looks as good as it shoots. It runs well and seems to be a durable handgun. That said, users accustomed to newer, polymer, striker-fired guns may find it a little lackluster. But tried and true 1911 fans know the value of a good ole Colt 1911. The Combat Commander doesn’t disappoint.
“With a flared mag well and a large mag release, reloads are quick and easy. The streamlined slide reduces muzzle flip and helps keep follow-on shots on target. CZ’s TS 2 is heavy but also a very appealing and purposefully designed competition pistol. While I know of others who have run their TS 2 without ever having an issue, the model we received did not like to shoot dirty — so a good cleaning is recommended when you take it out.”
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 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 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 Rock Island Armory 1911 GI Standard MS (Mid-Size) is a commander-length 1911 that stays true to the original GI combat-issued 1911s of the past. Its shorter 4.25-inch barrel helps keep the gun more compact and concealable while still retaining the accuracy the 1911 is known for. The GI Standard MS holds 8+1 rounds of .45 ACP and comes with a crisp 4-6 pound trigger, wood grips, low profile GI sights, and a smooth parkerized finish.
