TRENDSETTER
By JAMES TARR
Kimber was the first to raise the bar for production 1911 pistols, and
with the newly redesigned Stainless Steel II it has upped the ante once
again—and dropped the price at the same time.

SLIM AND TRIM
By BRAD FITZPATRICK
With the new PPS, 130-year-old Walther demonstrates you can show an
old dog new tricks as the company turns an already good concealed-
carry gun into one more suited to Americans’ tastes.

CARRY CHAMP
By PATRICK SWEENEY
Springfield’s original mini-1911 EMP was a hit, but it was too small for
some shooters. That situation has been remedied with the new EMP4—
and with it comes a boost in 9mm capacity.

VICTORY AT LAST
By JAMES TARR
If you’re a fan of traditional semiauto rimfires (think Colt Woodsman or
Ruger Mark III), you’ll love this modern take on a classic pistol. It’s a
modular design with readily available aftermarket accessories.

FK SYSTEM
The
7.5 FK Field Pistol
is an innovative and
completely new design from FK Brno. It uses
a proprietary recoil mitigation system, which
minimizes recoil and muzzle climb. Chambered
in the revolutionary 7.5 FK caliber, it fires a 100 grain
bullet at 2000 fps, generating almost 900 ft/lbs of
energy at the muzzle, from a 6” barrel. The 7.5 FK Field
Pistol is guaranteed to group less than 4” at 110 yards
(100m), while still achieving stopping power/terminal
ballistics equivalent to the venerable .44 Magnum, without
the recoil. With such accuracy and power, and 14+1 magazine
capacity, imagine the possibilities you can achieve in long range
shooting/hunting/silhouettes/defense and combat shooting.
