The Rise of the Micro-Compacts: Concealed Carry Leaders

In recent years, the handgun market has increasingly seen a surge in the popularity of a particular class of guns known as micro-compacts: handguns capable of having the capacity of a full-sized pistol yet with a frame small enough to comfortably conceal.

The SIG Sauer P365 Series

The SIG P365 revolutionized the micro-compact market. It was the first handgun with its famous stack-and-a-half magazine to have 10 to 17 rounds of capacity within a pistol that is extremely thin and slim. New iterations of the P365, such as the P365-XMACRO, come with an integrated compensator, making it the most controllable small handgun for sale today.

The Springfield Armory Hellcat

Directly competing against the P365, the Springfield Hellcat is an increasingly well-regarded choice in the category of micro-compact handguns due to its high-capacity magazine, rugged design, and Adaptive Grip Texture, which is designed to better grip your hand and make the pistol less likely to slip from your grasp. Springfield is a popular option for gun enthusiasts looking to add self-defense handguns to their arsenal at gun shops.

Full Size Performance for Full Size Needs

When shooting ability and capacity trump compact concealment, a full-size duty gun is the tool of choice. These guns are standard issues for law enforcement and the favorite of most competitive shooters.

Glock 19 Gen 5

Where would a top ten list of guns be without a Glock? The latest G5 no longer has finger grooves for a better grip on the weapon and now features a Marksman Barrel for enhanced accuracy. Glock is still seen as an absolute go-to “plug and play” option for any gun dealer, and it works as reliably as Glock says it will every time.

Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0

The M&P (Military & Police) series is famous for its natural 18-degree grip angle; many say this allows for a better grip than competitors. The M2.0 has aggressive grip texture and a way crisper and more improved trigger. A must-have in any high-volume gun retailer.

The “2011”, Mixing Classic with Contemporary

Although purists love 1911, a 2011 (which is basically a 1911 that uses a double-stack magazine) is currently on top of the market. These guns allow you to have that world-class 1911 trigger pull while maintaining the magazine capacities of a modern polymer pistol.

Staccato P and XC

Staccato has made 2011 popular not just for the competition world but for the duty gun realm as well as elite collectors. They fit each gun perfectly, and the Staccato feels like shooting without recoil. Looking for the best gun dealer in Dallas? Look at what Staccato has to offer. Today is the best time in modern production to own a Staccato.

Should I buy a handgun from a local gun dealer or online?

How do modern polymer handguns compare with the old-style steel handgun?
