Diamondback DB FS Nine
The release of this new full-size, polymer 9mm semi-auto was just announced prior to the NRA annual meetings in Indianapolis and is a new step for Diamondback, which has built its handgun name around more compact models. Billed as “Full-Size Fury,” the glass-fiber reinforced polymer pistol is a double-action, striker-fired model built on a double-stack frame and rounded out with a stainless steel slide. A flared magwell aids in fast, reliable even-under-pressure reloads, while an extended magazine pad aids grip. The handgun utilizes both a trigger safety and firing pin block safety. The magazine holds 15 shots and purchase of the gun includes a free NRA membership. ($483; diamondbackfirearms.com)

I own the CZ P07 and all I can say is that it is a fantastic gun. It is accurate with a nice trigger in double or single action. The ability to swap out the safety for a decocker is nice as well. Well worth the money.
THE S&W 929 IS THE GUN FOR ME. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ALL OF THE GUN MAKERS TO PLEASE LOOK HARD AT BRINGING THE 41 ACTION EXPRESS CAL BACK IN BOTH AUTO AND REVOLVER FORMATS. I WOULD BUY SEVERAL OF EACH ONE MADE.
The only one of those I’d even consider buying would be the .460 S&W. More companies need to come out with 10mms, specifically SIG Sauer and HK.
What about Ruger’s Single-Six, a Seven Shot in .327 Federal or Rock Island’s .22 TCM pistol, they too were omitted.
The most important and innovative new handgun on the market this year is the Walther CCP. Why was it omitted?
