SAR9 X Platinum 9mm

Auburn, AL- – SAR USA by Sarsilmaz, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of firearms is pleased to announce introduction of the new SAR 9X Platinum striker-fired semi-automatic 9x19mm pistol.

“The SAR 9X Platinum’s DNA comes directly from the SAR 9 pistol which is one of the latest offerings from SAR USA,” said Todd Pearson, COO of SAR USA. “The SAR 9 was originally designed and engineered to compete on the world stage as a military sidearm, and to fill a military contract. Now we are offering the SAR 9 in the X Platinum package which includes Cerakote finished slide, paddle holster, double mag pouch, magazine loader and accessory flashlight. All are packaged in a handsome carrying case”.

The SAR 9X Platinum striker-fired pistol features a lightweight polymer frame with accessory rail, serrated slide with Cerakoteâ platinum finish and a 4.5″ hammer-forged barrel with recessed crown for increased accuracy. With a 3-dot sight optic-ready mount plus choice of three insertable back straps to personalize the fit, the 9X Platinum points naturally and is a pleasure to shoot. Its low barrel axis-to-grip ratio lessens muzzle climb, and the 20-degree grip angle provides superior control and fast second shot recovery… the accuracy is built in. Couple these features with an ambidextrous safety trigger that is smoother than a double-action revolver and the SAR 9X becomes the perfect carry-pistol when you want a round in the chamber.

Springfield Armory XD-S Mod.2 OSP 9mm

GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the release of the XD-S Mod.2® OSP™ 9mm. Based on our most popular single-stack pistol, the XD-S Mod.2 OSP is now optics ready.

The 9mm pistol comes with a factory-milled slide for low-profile, direct mounting of compact optics for an intuitive sight picture and uninterrupted focus on target. The result is a handgun that accepts the smallest, most popular micro red dots on the market, and is also offered from the factory with an optional Crimson Trace micro red dot.

The optic mounts directly to the slide to achieve a minimum footprint and sits low enough to effectively utilize iron sights in an emergency. The sights are made up of a white dot front sight paired with an anti-glare serrated U-notch rear to ensure quick and positive target acquisition. When an optic is not present, an included seamless polymer cover plate installs with ease and adds additional slide serrations. Read more

Auto-Ordnance Reveals New 2020 Trump 1911s

Greeley, PA- From shortly after the 2016 election, Kahr Firearms Group has shown its appreciation for President Donald Trump’s patriotism and strong support for the Constitution of the United States. Beginning with the first “Trump 1911”, Kahr has expanded the product line into a series of custom firearms commemorating the election of the nation’s 45th President. The initial models were based on the Thompson 1911TC model pistols, with later guns offered in the Tommy Gun and AR15 product lines. For 2020, Kahr will offer two new Trump models, the POTUS (President of the United States), and KAG 1911s, customized to reflect President Trump’s dedication to preserving border security, and “Keeping America Great!” Jodi DePorter, Director of Marketing for Kahr Firearms Group, recently commented, “Our Trump commemorative series have been extremely successful products for Auto-Ordnance. There is continued demand for new Trump themed models. Clearly President Trump has been very popular with gun owners.”

Art and Engineering

Every gun in Auto-Ordnance’s Trump series is a finely crafted example of both art and engineering. The POTUS and KAG pistols are based on the Thompson 1911TC, chambered in .45 ACP. The talented artists at Outlaw Ordnance apply detailed engravings to the guns, commemorating President Trump’s administration. Each 1911 features the President’s 2020 campaign motto engraved on the left side of the slide, along with his image and the White House. On the right, the slide is engraved with “45th”, and his name. The American Flag is engraved on the dust cover. Beautiful Hogue Goncalo wood grips are engraved with the flag, and an image of President Trump. Slide and frame flats are polished, then finished with super durable Cerakote Bronze for the POTUS gun, or Cerakote Clear for the KAG model. Controls are Cerakote Armor Black. The Thompson 1911TC series pistol is made entirely in the United States. It features an adjustable trigger, skeletonized hammer, full-length recoil guide rod, extended beavertail grip safety, extended magazine release, and a checkered slide stop lever. The front and rear combat sights are black, low profile. The ejection port is flared to aid in reliable function. Both mainspring housing and front strap are machined checkered at 20 lines per inch. Each pistol’s 5″ match grade barrel is chambered in 45 ACP. One 7 round magazine is included. The MSRP for the POTUS 1911 is $1356, Model #1911TCAC4. The MSRP for the KAG 1911 is $1325, Model #1911TCAC3. Read more

NSSF Adjusted NICS Background Checks for October 2020 Highest October On Record

The October 2020 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System(NICS) figure of 1,769,553 is an increase of 60.1 percent compared to the October 2019 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,105,335. For comparison, the unadjusted October 2020 FBI NICS figure 3,268,909 reflects a 40.5 percent increase from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 2,327,252 in October 2019.

The year-to-date total of 17.2 million background checks shatters the previous complete annual record of 15.7 million background checks set in 2016. Two months of sales still remain, traditionally among the busiest of the year.

Please note: Twenty-five states currently have at least one qualified alternative permit, which under the Brady Act allows the permit-holder, who has undergone a background check to obtain the permit, to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer without a separate additional background check for that transfer. The number of NICS checks in these states does not include these legal transfers based on qualifying permits and NSSF does not adjust for these transfers. Michigan had law changes that affected their Brady Law standing which removed qualifying alternate permits usage for firearm transactions. These changes went into effect March 3, 2020. NSSF-adjusted NICS for the state of Michigan in October 2020 were 185.4 percent higher than October 2019 which accounts for an additional 43,817 checks over the same time period.

The adjusted NICS data were derived by subtracting out NICS purpose code permit checks and permit rechecks used by states for CCW permit application checks as well as checks on active CCW permit databases. NSSF started subtracting permit rechecks in February 2016. Read more
