The KelTec KS7 utilizes a bullpup configuration to give users an 18.5-inch barrel while keeping an astonishingly short 26.1-inch overall length. Capacity remains a solid 7+1 despite how short this shotgun is, and at 5.9 pounds, it feels as light as it looks. The KS7 is a great option for home defense or any other roles that may require a compact, but controllable shotgun.
The Colt Delta Elite was one of the first 10mm chambered 1911s to hit the market, but its simplistic yet efficient design has ensured its staying power. As a single-stack handgun, it may only hold 8 rounds, but those rounds have a lot of punch. We recommend the Delta Elite for all your handgun hunting needs!
Weighing in at just 6.6 ounces and measuring 0.75 inches wide, the KelTec P32 is the smallest semi-automatic centerfire handgun on the market. Despite its diminutive size, the P32 still offers an impressive 7+1 capacity and uses a short-recoil operating system. A 5-pound double-action-only trigger pull rounds the features out. Designed for deep concealment, the P32 is ideal for a variety of carry situations and styles.
The Kimber 2K11 Target is Kimber’s first foray into the double-stack (a.k.a. 2011) arena. While it’s a beautiful pistol with a crisp trigger and excellent ergonomics, it’s not without issue. During our testing, it struggled to go into battery on a few occasions. Also, our large-handed shooters struggled with accidentally riding the slide stop. As an expensive race gun, this was disappointing. We diagnosed the out-of-battery issues as the gun possibly being undersprung, but it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, we had fun shooting it despite the issues.
The Omega Arms AR12 brings many of the ergonomic features of the AR-15 to the world of semi-auto shotguns. These magazine-fed, 12-gauge shotguns are easy to reload and make for great fun at the range. With two magazines, a hard case, sights, and a sling included, the Omega AR12 gets you a decent amount of bang for your buck.
A metal-framed .32 ACP semi-automatic pistol is almost an oddity in today’s world. Despite this, the Tomcat is an interesting pistol. A tip-up barrel means you never have to rack the slide, making it accessible to just about every shooter regardless of strength or dexterity. The .32 ACP cartridge is also extremely soft shooting, and even with a heavier trigger, this gun is accurate and fun to shoot.
North American Arms has long made their name producing ultra-small single-action revolvers in rimfire cartridges. Their Black Widow offering adds an oversized rubber grip and proper 3-dot sights, making this diminutive .22LR/.22 WMR revolver much easier to hold on to and shoot accurately. While their use case is definitely limited, their concealability cannot be understated. At under 10 ounces with extremely small overall dimensions, these guns simply disappear inside pockets or other clothing.
