Released at SHOT Show 2022, Smith & Wesson’s new micro 9mm handgun breaks the mold established by the micro 9s that came before it.

The gun is very small and lightweight thanks to its alum...
The SFX9 is Wilson Combat’s take on the high-capacity, sub-compact concealed carry pistol.

Furthermore, the striker-fired isn’t stripped down, with a downright snappy trigger and high-visibility Triti...

We used to brag up the Shield 2.0 on this list, but its days are numbered since the release of the Shield Plus.
