Primary Arms SLx 1-10x
The Primary Arms SLx 1-10x delivers impressive magnification range with the versatile ACSS Nova reticle. Fiber optic illumination works like a red dot at 1x, while 10x provides excellent precision capability. Quality glass and reasonable weight make this a compelling LPVO choice.
FN 502 Tactical
The FN 502 Tactical makes an excellent 509 trainer with identical ergonomics and controls. Threaded barrel and optics cut add versatility, and reliability has been solid throughout testing. The trigger is disappointing but typical for .22 pistols. Worth it if you carry an FN 509.
PSA AK-103
The PSA AK-103 delivers authentic AK aesthetics with modern American manufacturing quality. The FN cold hammer-forged barrel ensures accuracy and longevity, while the classic triangle folding stock completes the look.
IWI Tavor x95
The IWI Tavor X95 proves bullpups deserve serious consideration. Excellent balance despite rear-weight bias, intuitive controls that rival AR ergonomics, and Israeli military pedigree deliver a capable rifle.
PSA AK 101
The PSA AK-101 in 5.56 offers AR-caliber convenience with AK reliability. Despite early generation criticism, PSA has refined their AK manufacturing with forged components and improved quality control.
Beretta M9A4
The Beretta M9A4 modernizes the legendary military sidearm with optics capability and improved ergonomics. The DA/SA trigger system remains smooth, grip modules are swappable, and reliability is unquestionable after decades of service.
PSA Krink
The PSA Krink captures the iconic AK-74U aesthetics in an accessible American-made package. Historically accurate muzzle device and front sight assembly pair with PSA's refined manufacturing.
PSA Micro Dagger
The PSA Dagger Micro delivers Glock 43X capability at a fraction of the cost. Optics-ready slide, solid reliability, and 15-round magazine compatibility make this an excellent concealed carry value.
Jacob Grey TWC 9
The Jacob Grey TWC 9 enters the 2011 market with impressive ergonomics and build quality. The grip texture is aggressive where needed, magwell is carry-friendly, and overall feel rivals more expensive competitors. A compelling option in the growing 2011 market segment.
Lone Wolf Dusk 19
The Lone Wolf Dusk 19 brings 1911-style grip angle to Glock compatibility. Aggressive factory texture provides exceptional grip, and the familiar Glock magazine compatibility eases the transition.
Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Review
The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 brings modern features to classic lever action design. Cross-bolt safety adds peace of mind, 44 Magnum packs serious punch, and S&W quality is evident throughout.
Shadow Systems MR920L
The Shadow Systems MR920L offers Glock 17 slide length on a compact frame with factory upgrades included. Improved sights, optics cut, and enhanced ergonomics make this a compelling alternative to customizing a stock Glock. Quality matches the premium price point.
