PDS Pistol by Rock River Arms

I’ve never really been sold on the 5.56/.223 “pistol” versions of carbines and rifles. I guess I can see where they (maybe) might have a use in the military or tactical environments. Even if I personally had a use for a rifle-caliber pistol, though, the buffer tube sticking out the back of the thing was a show stopper. At least this system by RRA gets rid of that and gives you something that is a little closer to a pistol.

For more info, see Rock River’s site.

Steyr Arms’ M-A1 And S-A1 Pistols Return To The American Market

Steyr Arms has announced that it is bringing back the popular Steyr M-A1 and S-A1 semi-automatic handguns to the United States. The first batch of these pistols has already arrived at the Steyr Arms headquarters, and the pistols will begin shipping to dealers later this month.

Nearly identical in form and function, the M-A1 is the full-size series with a 4-inch barrel, while the S-A1 is the compact series with a 3.6-inch barrel. Chambered in either 9x19mm Luger or .40 S&W, the M-A1 and S-A1 achieved a great deal of regard among American shooters for their comfortable ergonomics, remarkable safety features, intuitive sighting system, amazing accuracy and extreme reliability.
