Personal Defense

The history and building of one battle-tough pistol -- MEUSOC 1911.

Loaded for respectable velocity, Federal’s 200-grain HST self-defense ammo should prove potent.

Glock's extremely popular Slimline Series took a big step forward with the enhanced capacity Glock 43X and Glock 48.

In the era of cutting-edge expanding bullets, does .45 ACP 'Hardball' have a place as defensive ammo?

Adding two popular self-defense calibers to the Hydra-Shok Deep lineup, Federal Premium has armed citizens covered.

Stoeger shocked SHOT with the release of the 9mm STR-9. Does the pistol have what it takes to survive the demanding striker-fired market?

Trimmed in all the right places, FN America’s 509 Midsize offers a concealable and effective person-defense option.

Micro 9mm handguns are popping up all over, and the Kimber Micro 9 is no slouch. It sports a 3.15-inch barrel and weighs just 15.6 ounces unloaded.

Introducing full-sized and sub-compact P-10 models, CZ offers a full-catalog of striker-fireds to shooters.

There were plenty of new guns at the 2019 SHOT Show, but what were the ones that turned heads?

Glock extends its single-stack line with enhanced-capacity G43X and G48.

Outfitted with Crimson Trace LG-105 Lasergrips, the Performance Center Model 442 is ready for low-light duty.

Thanks to the Colt King Cobra, the gunmaker will once again have a .357 Magnum double-action revolver in its catalog.

When a shooter’s dominant eye and dominant hand don’t align (cross-eye dominance), the result can be a major blessing — or a horrific curse.

A heftier version of the original, the Q5 Match Steel frame is race ready.

Shaved down to minuscule proportions, SIG Sauer’s MPX Copperhead cuts the AR pistol down to size.
