FNH USA FNS-9

With the right trigger and a little practice, exposed hammer spurs are about as necessary as udders on male bovine (to keep it P.C.). With that being said, FNH USA took its rugged and reliable FNP/X pistol and adapted it to create the FNS-9 — a striker-fired model. The beauty of this system is that all your current holsters’ mag pouches and X-Series magazines will work well with the FNS-9. It’s probably a no-brainer to predict that .40 and .45 models will follow in short order. Built on a black polymer frame and chambered in 9 mm, the striker mechanism of FNH USA’s FNS-9 is preloaded to ensure a short, light, easy trigger pull from shot to shot. Other notable features include a rail for lights and lasers, interchangeable back straps and ambidextrous controls, including a slide stop, mag release and manual safety. No MSRP available.

Franchi Instinct Series

For those who felt a great over/under wasn’t in the budget, or those just unwilling to part with greenbacks, it’s time to look again. Franchi O/Us underwent a complete makeover, including redesigns and lower pricing. Franchi’s Instinct line includes the L and SL models. Franchi eliminated much of the frill and over decoration, including the less than popular recoil pad it offered in the past. The new versions have a more restrained aesthetic that includes a classic recoil pad, little engraving and a rounded Prince of Wales grip. The L version has an unadorned, case-colored steel receiver and weighs just 6.4 pounds (12 gauge) or 6.1 pounds (20 gauge). The SL, with a bright, silver-finished receiver, comes in under 6 pounds in 12 gauge and about 5.4 pounds in 20 gauge. Minus the frills, this is one of the best deals you are likely to find on a quality O/U. MSRP $1,349.

GLOCK 34 Gen4

The GLOCK 34 Gen4 offers improvements to the popular GLOCK 34 with a textured finish to increase traction and adjustable back straps to allow shooters to precisely fit their individual hands for better shot placement. The reversible magazine catch allows for versatility, and reloads, which have always been easy to perform in GLOCKs, are now faster and easier to manipulate for right- and left-handed shooters. GLOCK presented the GLOCK 34 Gen4 at a GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation event in South Carolina with NATO-standard ball ammunition. The results were impressive, even boasting a 2.13-inch group at 25 yards.

Glock G17 Gen 4

The Gen4 is based on a full-size G17/G22 MBS (multiple backstrap) frame with a reduced short-frame trigger mechanism housing. The multiple backstrap system allows the user to change the circumference of the grip to fit his or her individual hand size. The grip angle of the Glock “Safe Action” Pistol is not changed by backstrap modifications. The magazine release catch of the Gen4 is reversible and enlarged. The reversible magazine allows users to switch the catch to the left or right side of the pistol with no additional parts. Internally, the original recoil spring has been replaced with a dual-recoil spring assembly. The dual-recoil spring assembly noticeably reduces recoil while simultaneously increasing the life cycle of the assembly.

Glock G21 Gen4

Although the Glock 21 Gen 4 (G21 G4) looks bulky compared to a G34, it does not feel that way in the hand. The G21 G4 uses the same grip profile as the G21SF, but can also be customized with the included additional back straps. The real story of the G21 G4 is the new recoil extractor, which significantly reduces recoil compared to previous Glocks. The reversible mag catch will be a plus for southpaws, and a .45 with a 13 + 1 capacity will pique any gun nut’s interest. Previous Glock mags won’t fit the G4, but that is just an excuse to buy something new. Besides, Glock has always done a great job of holding down the price on spare magazines. No MSRP available.

Kahr CM40

If Kahr does not have a model to suit your particular requirements, it probably isn’t made anywhere. The latest addition to Kahr’s line is the CM40, built purely for business as a stainless-steel and polymer model, weighing in at less than 18 ounces empty and offering a 5+1 capacity. Given the size and weight, the CM40 may come with a less-thansharp recoil, but this gun was built for go, not show. The CM Series is the economy version of the PM Series. The main differences are in the manufacturing techniques and design. Instead of the polygonal rifling that’s found on Kahr’s PM Series, CM guns have traditional rifling. CMs have MIM’d slide-stop levers instead of machined levers and simple engraving versus roll marking. Unfortunately, CM guns ship with only one magazine. With all the function and reliability in a gun you don’t plan to shoot on a daily basis, this is a great compromise for the money. MSRP $517.
