TriStar has just announced the APOC, a new compact 9mm handgun designed to be both affordable and reliable.

Plenty of Americans are looking to arm themselves for as little money as possible, and they understand that having an affordable pistol that works reliably is far more important than having the latest-and-greatest tactical features. One of the latest pistols in this class is the TriStar APOC.

While TriStar doesn’t specify what aftermarket parts or magazines the APOC is compatible with, it appears to be based on a Gen 3 Glock 19. This is corroborated by its 4-inch barrel and 15-round magazine capacity, two of which are included with each pistol. Other features include front and rear slide serrations, an accessory rail and fiber-optic sights. They’re also available with either a black, gray, Flat Dark Earth or OD Green/black finish.

Ryan Bader, President of TriStar Arms, said this about the new 9mm pistol:

Shooter feedback drove every decision on the APOC … We set out to build a pistol that feels right in the hand, runs reliably, and is affordable for everyday use. What that means for pistol owners is simple: more time on the trigger, less time worrying about cost.

MSRP for the TriStar APOC is $360 and they’re available now.
