New on AllOutdoor: Sight Options for Defensive Pistols
Read it there…
A baker’s dozen of 45s.
Metro Arms 3011 SSD Tactical
PMR30 with Burris Fast Dot
PMR30 is a very flat-shooting pistol. A red dot sight lets the user take advantage of the extended ballistic range with better accuracy.
A very tight M1911
I like the grip texture — subtle but conducive to retention on recoil. The pistol itself is made to rather close clearances and feels very tight. Original-style guide rod, crisp trigger. Made by Metro Arms.
