As a new addition to the illustrious Military and Police (M&P) line, it seeks to establish its place in this unique segment of the handgun market. <!--StartFragment-->Here's a comprehensive comparison of these two pistols based on their specifications, design, and operation.</p>
<h2><b>Overview</b></h2>
<h3>Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum</h3>
<img src="/.Blog Pages Images/Smith and Wesson MP 22 Magnum vs KEL TEC PMR30/smith-and-wesson-mp22.jpg" data-image="dxislvnu2l3h" width="332" height="238" alt="Smith and Wesson M&P 22 MAGNUM">
<p></p>
<p>The Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum represents the esteemed manufacturer's latest foray into the .22 Magnum market. Renowned for their reliability and superior craftsmanship, Smith & Wesson guns have consistently found favor among firearm enthusiasts. The M&P 22 Magnum hopes to continue that tradition.</p>
<h3>KEL-TEC PMR-30</h3>
<img src="/.Blog Pages Images/Smith and Wesson MP 22 Magnum vs KEL TEC PMR30/pmr30-right_dsc3015-1-1.jpg" data-image="4r4a5l0vo94o" width="323" height="215" alt="KEL-TEC PMR-30">
<p>The KEL-TEC PMR-30 has enjoyed a solid position in the market for a considerable time now. Despite some initial feeding issues, this semi-automatic pistol has long been a crowd favorite due to its large capacity, ease of use, and high power.</p>
<h2><b>Design and Ergonomics</b></h2>
<h3>Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum</h3>
<p>As a part of the M&P line, the M&P 22 Magnum showcases a professional, streamlined design. With an ergonomic grip, ambidextrous controls, and customizable backstraps, it's built with user comfort and adaptability in mind. The polymer frame lends the gun lightweight characteristics without compromising on durability.</p>
<p>The M&P 22 Magnum, with its overall length of 8.4 inches, height of 5.9 inches, and a slim width of 1.13 inches, presents a full-size profile. It weighs in at 22 ounces, making it sturdy and substantial in the hand.</p>
<h3>KEL-TEC PMR-30</h3>
<p>The PMR-30 also sports a lightweight, Zytel-based polymer frame. Its grip is textured for secure handling, but it doesn't offer the same degree of customization as the M&P 22 Magnum. Its slide and barrel are made of steel, balancing out the overall weight of the gun.</p>
<p>The PMR-30 exhibits a more compact design, with an overall length of 7.9 inches, height of 5.8 inches, and a slightly wider 1.3 inches profile. Its significant advantage is its weight; the PMR-30 weighs only 14 ounces unloaded, making it an ideal option for those seeking a lightweight firearm.</p>
<h2><b>Capacity</b></h2>
<p>The M&P 22 MAGNUM and the PMR-30 both boast a substantial capacity, accommodating up to 30 rounds in a flush-fit magazine. This impressive capacity, uncommon in most pistol designs, means both these firearms provide considerable firepower in the compact form of a .22 WMR pistol.<br></p>
<h2><b>Performance and Recoil</b></h2>
<h3>Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum</h3>
<p>With its crisp trigger and smooth slide action, the M&P 22 Magnum delivers excellent performance. The recoil is manageable, thanks to the combination of its lightweight frame and superior ergonomics, allowing for rapid, accurate follow-up shots.</p>
<h3>KEL-TEC PMR-30</h3>
<p>The PMR-30 offers a smooth shooting experience with minimal muzzle rise, largely due to its unique blowback/locked-breech system. However, given its extremely light frame, some users might experience a slight increase in perceived recoil, despite the .22 Magnum's generally low recoil.</p>
<h2><b>Technical Specs</b></h2>
<p>When comparing the Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum and the KEL-TEC PMR-30, it's essential to delve into their technical specifications. Each firearm brings unique features to the table. Let's take a closer look at the specifics.</p>
<h3>Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum Technical Specs:</h3>
<ul><li><b>Caliber: 22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire)</b></li><li><b>Weight (unloaded): 22 oz</b></li><li><b>Magazine Capacity: 30 rounds</b></li><li><b>Overall Length: 8.4 in</b></li><li><b>Barrel Length: 4.35 in</b></li><li><b>Height: 5.9 in</b></li><li><b>Width: 1.13 in</b></li><li><b>Trigger Pull: Not specified, likely within industry standard (5-6 lbs)</b></li><li><b>Sights: Fiber Optic</b></li><li><b>Frame: Polymer</b></li></ul>
<h3>KEL-TEC PMR-30 Technical Specs:</h3>
<ul><li><b>Caliber: .22WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire)</b></li><li><b>Weight (unloaded): 14 oz (397g)</b></li><li><b>Magazine Capacity: 30 rounds</b></li><li><b>Overall Length: 7.9” (201mm)</b></li><li><b>Barrel Length: 4.3” (109mm)</b></li><li><b>Height: 5.8” (147mm)</b></li><li><b>Width: 1.3” (33mm)</b></li><li><b>Trigger Pull: 3-5 lbs (23N)</b></li><li><b>Sights: Fiber Optic<br></b></li><li><b>Frame: Polymer<br></b></li></ul>
<p>Both pistols are equipped with fiber optic sights to enhance visibility and target acquisition. The M&P 22 Magnum sports a green front sight and a black notched rear sight, while the PMR-30 comes standard with Hi-Viz fiber optic sights on both front and rear. These sights aim to provide a clear, high-visibility sight picture in various lighting conditions.</p>
<p>The M&P 22 Magnum features a flat-faced trigger intended to foster consistent finger placement, contributing to increased accuracy and repeatability during shooting. Conversely, the PMR-30 sports a trigger pull that ranges from 3-5lbs. This lighter pull, combined with the Hi-Viz sights and slightly longer barrel, can assist in maintaining accuracy across successive shots.</p>
<h2><b>Customization</b></h2>
<p>The M&P 22 Magnum is loaded with additional features such as an ambidextrous slide stop and manual thumb safety, accommodating both right-handed and left-handed shooters. The gun also includes two magazines and is capable of directly mounting most popular micro red dots on the market, offering users the possibility of enhanced sighting.<br><br>The PMR-30 offers its own set of unique features, including an integrated accessory rail. This can be utilized to mount a range of <a href="https://www.mcarbo.com/kel-tec-pmr-30-accessories-upgrades.aspx" target="_blank"><b>additional accessories</b></a> like a weapon light or an <a href="https://www.mcarbo.com/kel-tec-pmr-30-operator-mount.aspx" target="_blank"><b>optic mount</b></a>, providing more flexibility for customization based on specific user needs and preferences.<br></p>
<h2><b>Conclusion</b></h2>
<p>The Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum, despite being a newcomer, is a formidable contender. Its excellent ergonomics, reliable performance, and the reputation of Smith & Wesson back it up as a solid choice. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, the KEL-TEC PMR-30 continues to be a viable option, particularly for those seeking high capacity in a lightweight package. The PMR-30 has a ton of <a href="https://www.mcarbo.com/kel-tec-pmr-30-accessories-upgrades.aspx" target="_blank"><b>Aftermarket Upgrades and Accessories</b></a> as well.</p>
<p>In the end, choosing between the two might come down to individual preference – the high-capacity PMR-30 or the ergonomic and reliable M&P 22 Magnum. Regardless of your choice, both firearms represent the epitome of .22 Magnum performance and design.</p>http://www.mcarbo.com/blog/AMMOLAND-Review-of-M-CARBO-SUB-2000-UpgradesAMMOLAND Review of M*CARBO SUB-2000 Upgrades<!--StartFragment-->Check out this <a href="https://www.ammoland.com/2023/06/mcarbo-kel-tec-sub-2000-upgrades/#axzz85CdwrPdZ" target="_blank">Review</a> of some of our KEL-TEC SUB-2000 Upgrades by Jim Grant of AmmoLandTV!<br><br><!--EndFragment-->

<p>Christmas and the Holidays are coming around the corner and there is no better gift than the gift of safety for your loved ones. Here are some of the best shotguns to add to your shopping list this season. </p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Why Shotguns for Home Defense?</h2>
<p>Shotguns are definitely the biggest nightmare of any home intruder. Just the “CHICK CHICK” sound of a pump action is enough to send any invader running for the hills. They deliver the power and the level of force necessary to end a home invasion quickly and with little collateral (with the proper ammo of course, birdshot is a little messy). With good training and the right load out, you’ll be prepared to stop anyone or anything that tries to harm you, your family, or your property. </p>

<figure style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blog.gunassociation.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/self-defense-shooting.jpg" data-image="fs85i48fgkx3" width="100%" alt="Holding a shotgun woman"></figure>

<p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><b>What to look for in a Home Defense Shotgun</b></span></h2>
<h3>Barrel length & Length of Pull</h3>
<p>Having the stopping power of a 12 gauge is awesome but it’s absolutely useless if you can’t maneuver it where you need it. You want to stay away from hunting or trap shooting style shotguns which typically have longer barrels and an overall length of 42in or more. If you’re buying a shotgun for home defense, look for tactical style barrels between 18-20 inches. Anything shorter than 18 inches will make the shotgun an NFA item (National Firearms Act) and be considered a Short Barrel Shotgun (SBS) which requires a bunch of tax stamps, approvals, and other legal mumbo jumbo to own, and that’s if your state even allows you to carry a SBS at all. That being said, what can really be a major factor in maneuverability is length of pull. Length of pull is the distance from the trigger to the end of the stock. Having a shorter length of pull and a reasonably sized barrel will allow you to move through narrow hallways, doors, and clear rooms with ease.</p>

<p>There are two types of shotgun an action you should consider when picking out your home defense shotgun and that is <b>Pump Action</b> and <b>Semi-automatic</b>. Bolt action, break action, and lever action shotguns are too cumbersome and slow to reload unless you’re John Wick, Clint Eastwood, or John Wayne. Semi-auto shotguns by far have the fastest rate of fire and are more tactically efficient when it comes to putting rounds down range quickly. Pump actions are considered more reliable because they eliminate variables in gas operated semi-automatics but are at risk for short stroking. A short stroke is when you don’t complete a full pull on a pump action gun so the action isn’t able to completely cycle, so you have to pump it again. This will obviously slow down your shot speed in a situation where every second could count. </p>

</div>
<h3>Stocks & Pistol Grips</h3>
<p>Some people out there will say you don’t need a stock for a home defense shotgun but that’s an absolute load of malarkey. Stocks will help you aim under stress and reduce the heavy recoil a shotgun produces. Shooting a shotgun without a stock is an inaccurate hip-fired wrist rocket, even with a pistol grip. Pistol grips can be useful for added stability but it comes down to preference of the shooter if they feel comfortable gripping a shotgun like that. </p>
<h3>Shotgun Shell Size/ Capacity/ and Type</h3>
<p>Most tactical shotguns fire 12 gauge shells. Some are offered in the less powerful 20 gauge for smaller shooters or for those who are more recoil sensitive. When it comes to ammo capacity shotguns are more limited than pistols, carbines, or rifles. When seeking a shotgun for home defense you do not want a shotgun that holds anything less than 4+1. Preferably you want a shotgun that holds 7 or more shells. As far as the type of shell to use, buckshot is the most ideal. Buckshot pellets are larger than birdshot and have a really effective stopping power up to 50 yards. They also have a pellet spread which reduces the chances for collateral damage. Birdshot pellets are too small to effectively stop an intruder, although they’re going to want to get to a hospital after being peppered with little metal BB’s. Slug shells offer incredible stopping power but you risk over penetration causing accidental collateral damage. Unless you’re trying to stop a bear, slugs are a little overkill. </p>

</div>
<h3>Accessories</h3>
<p>All accessories are up to personal preference. Some accessories I recommend is rail mounted lights and lasers for rapid target acquisition. I like using lasers on my home defense weapons because it allows for rapid target acquisition and lets me know what my muzzle is aiming at in the dark or if I need to quickly fire from the hip. I also highly recommend a sling with swivel mounts. Slings allow you to free up your hands if you need and makes it more difficult for an attacker to take your weapon from you. There are a lot more accessories out there that can help you defend yourself more efficiently, tactically, and safely.</p>

The bullpup style frame keeps the KSG compact at just over 26in while holding a standard 18.5in barrel.

<p>If you are someone who has a taste for the finest things in life and loves to go all out on the highest of quality, look no further than the Benelli M4. The Benelli M4 has been combat proven to be the most reliable shotgun on the market, being used by the United States Military, U.S Special Forces, and just about every other Special Forces group on the planet. The M4 is perfect if you are the kind of person who wants a shotgun you can pick up in a hurry and know it will fire every single time. The A.R.G.O. gas system has been proven to make the M4 a reliable semi-automatic shotgun and it even reduces a lot of the abrasive recoil of a 12ga. While it may not score an A+ on tactical efficiency being 40in long and having a relatively small shell capacity, it’s on the list because of its unparalleled reliability. Coming in at $2,099 or more, it’s definitely not the most affordable. But with a great price you get great quality. Because of this it has earned the nickname “The Ferrari of Shoguns”… well and there also both Italian. </p>

<p>Are you looking to use your home defense shotgun for more than just home defense? The Mossberg 500 platform has all the options you want for shotguns. Mossberg is the top name in shotguns and their 500 platform is what brought them a lot of their fame. The 500 has several different models for hunting, trap shooting, and even home defense. For home defense I recommend the ATI Tactical model because it has a shorter 18.5in barrel with an adjustable stock to give you the optimal length of pull for more tactical environments. The 6 round capacity is pretty decent for a home defense shotgun. Also price point for the Mossberg 500 is pretty awesome at $490 for base models and $706 for the ATI Tactical model. </p>

<p>Looking for a home defense shotgun that is easy on the wallet and great quality? The Remington 870 is the perfect choice when it comes to great quality and a fair price. The two 870 models that are best for home defense is the Model 870 Hardwood Home Defense and the Model 870 Special Purpose Marine Magnum. They come with the optimal 18.5in barrel and a standard 6 round capacity. The overall length of 38.5in isn’t terrible for a home defense gun either. Remington receivers are milled from a single block of solid steel making their durability remarkable. This gun has been tried and true. Remington has been producing the Model 870 since 1950 and over 11 million have been sold since. There are tons of aftermarket slings and accessories available for the 870 as well because it’s been popular for so long. </p>

<p>If it’s good enough for our ladies and gents in the Military and Law Enforcement, it’s got to be good enough for you! The Mossberg 590 is essentially a Mossberg 500 designed specifically for the military’s need for a higher capacity pump action shotgun. Since 1987 the U.S Military has relied on the Mossberg 590 and its still in service today. Since then it has been widely adopted as a home defense shotgun, giving you the classic feel of a 500 with more shell capacity and shorter length of pull. Today Mossberg has a bunch of different 590 models with all sorts of unique tactical accessories. Although the larger capacity models are a little bit longer than most tactical shotguns, it makes up for by being far lighter than most shotguns. The reliability and quality are phenomenal for the price. The mass production of the 590 has created a huge aftermarket for parts and accessories as well. </p>

<p>When I first saw this shotgun it blew my mind. I always enjoyed AR-style shotguns but Rock Island Armory took it to the next level with the VR80. The VR80 is definitely not your Pappy’s ol’ shotgun and brings home defense into the 21<sup>st</sup> century. This shotgun is perfect if you are already familiar with AR-15 ergonomics and want an easy transition into shotguns. Rock Island Armory made tactical efficiency the center of their focus making the gun out of lightweight 7075 T6 aluminum while keeping it at a relatively compact size. The upper Picatinny rails and the M-Lok Handguard allow for a lot of customization for optics, lights, and lasers to trick out this bad boy. The VR80 is part of a series also comes in a variety of styles. The VR series comes in a pump-action style VRPA40, an M-16 style VR60, and even in a Bullpup style VRBP-100. Whatever your preferred platform is, Rock Island Armory has it in a modernized 6 shot shotgun. </p>

<p> The Benelli 1303 leaves all other semi-automatic shotguns in the dust in efficiency, firing rate, and style. The 1301 is comparable to the Benelli M4 with a lighter price tag, the same ridiculously high quality, and a higher shell capacity. The innovative BLINK gas operating system with a cross tube gas piston allows for 36% faster cycling than any other competitor. This is the trusted shotgun by law enforcement officers everywhere due to the immaculate reliability this shotgun has. This would be the best overall shotgun if it wasn’t for the higher end price tag. But if you got the cash I highly recommend this over any other shotgun on this list. </p>

<p>There aren’t many Bullpup fans out there but I am a big one. I love them because I don’t have to sacrifice a compact size for a longer barrel. Plus the longer length of pull gives me more control and stability of the firearm. American Tactical absolutely delivered at a super low price on their Bull-Dog. The Bull-Dog is compact, affordable, and probably the lightest shotgun on the market. What more could you want out of a home defense shotgun? It is brand new to the market so I can quote on the reliability factor but there hasn’t been much bad to say about it. If you like the bullpup platform and you want a cheap but good quality shotgun; the ATI Bull-Dog is the one!</p>

<p>Looking for a decent home defense shotgun but not looking to spend a lot of cash? Mossberg developed the Maverick 88 just for you! The Maverick has the same great quality that Mossberg shotguns deliver at an extremely affordable price. It is a durable bare-bones shotgun great for first time shotgun owners. Many were initially skeptical on the quality but James Reeves, one of YouTube’s top firearm guys, put those notions to rest on his Maverick 88 Torture Test video. He even made hit Maverick set-up complete with the M*CARBO Mossberg 500/Maverick 88 Trigger Kit! The Maverick 88 Security model is the most optimal one for home defense due to its shorter 18.5in barrel and shorter overall length. Overall the Maverick is a great shotgun for the price and was a must have on the list. </p>

<p>Comparable to Benelli M4 and the Beretta 1301, the Mossberg 930 Security/SPX is great Semi-automatic shotgun at the most affordable price. Semi-automatic tube-fed shotguns like the 930 offer the smoothest cycling rate of fire and make great auto-loading shotguns. Mossberg, who is the largest producer of shotguns, saw the success Benelli and Beretta had and wanted in on it. They went on to develop a more affordable American-made semi-auto-shotgun that still holds its own in quality. The Mossberg Security models maintain that great tactical frame and are designed to help you preserve safety and protect others.</p>

Look no further than the M*CARBO Short Stroke Flat Trigger for the LCP 2/LCP MAX.

The kit comes with a 10lb and a 12lb Hammer Spring to tailor the trigger pull to your liking. The Hammer Springs also have dampening insertions that are designed to reduce spring vibration and increase durability over the factory spring. This will give you a trigger action that's as smooth as butter and give you the best performance you can get out of your LCP! The Spring Kit is drop-in and includes installation fixture for an easy replacement of the firing pin spring. The LCP MAX Spring Kit will give you a smooth, crisp, and light pull that helps promote consistent, match-grade accuracy.</p>

The Ruger LCP’s compact size earns its reputation as the ideal “pocket” carry pistol. Ruger has astonishingly fitted a 10 round .380 ACP capacity into a pistol the size of a one-shot Derringer, alleviating any Ruger LCP Max problems regarding size. It even includes a low-profile pocket holster right out of the box, making it the perfect micro-compact for small tote or coin purse carry.<br><br>Ruger has meticulously designed the LCP Max for all-around comfort. With a grip slightly longer than the LCP II, it offers a more comfortable grip, addressing any holding issues associated with tiny micro-compacts. The ergonomics of the LCP MAX make it solid to hold when firing, making it a viable backup concealed carry in an ankle or pocket holster, especially when desiring to wear more casual clothing.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><u>.380 Skepticism</u></h2>
<p>Despite its benefits, the .380 ACP has faced criticism, with some questioning its effectiveness as a self-defense round. Surprisingly, a few .380 manufacturers meet the FBI ballistics protocol for bullet penetration. The Federal .380 ACP 90 grain Hydra-Shok round not only meets but exceeds FBI standards, making it a highly recommended round for those using the LCP MAX as a daily carry.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><u>LCP MAX Upgrades</u></h2>
<p>Ruger has paid heed to customer feedback, addressing the original LCP’s shortcomings and introducing commendable improvements with the LCP MAX. A significant upgrade includes an increased mag capacity from 6 to 10+1 (12+1 with the extended grip mag), achieved through the reengineering of the magazines for double-stack capacity. The LCP MAX boasts the highest round capacity for its size, accompanied by a slight increase in width, enhancing the CCW.<br><br>The newer grips offer more surface area for better hold and recoil control, alongside upgraded iron sights featuring a Tritium front sight for faster target acquisition. The introduction of the "Secure Action" trigger and the ambidextrous magazine release are other notable improvements, enhancing the user experience and addressing potential Ruger LCP Max problems.
</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><u>Final Thoughts</u></h2>
<p>Ruger has invested significantly in this compact handgun, offering a great CCW option for those struggling with 9mm handgun recoil. It is incredibly suitable for quick outdoor tasks, eliminating the need for extra accessories, unlike carrying a larger Glock 17. With a reasonable Ruger LCP Max price tag of around $470, it stands as one of the best in its class.<br><br>For those seeking to optimize their Ruger experience, check out our MCARBO Ruger LCP, Ruger LCP 2, or Ruger LCP MAX upgrades.

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><u>LCP MAX Upgrades</u></h2>
<p>Ruger has paid heed to customer feedback, addressing the original LCP’s shortcomings and introducing commendable improvements with the LCP MAX. A significant upgrade includes an increased mag capacity from 6 to 10+1 (12+1 with the extended grip mag), achieved through the reengineering of the magazines for double-stack capacity. The LCP MAX boasts the highest round capacity for its size, accompanied by a slight increase in width, enhancing the CCW.<br><br>The newer grips offer more surface area for better hold and recoil control, alongside upgraded iron sights featuring a Tritium front sight for faster target acquisition. The introduction of the "Secure Action" trigger and the ambidextrous magazine release are other notable improvements, enhancing the user experience and addressing potential Ruger LCP Max problems.
</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><u>Final Thoughts</u></h2>
<p>Ruger has invested significantly in this compact handgun, offering a great CCW option for those struggling with 9mm handgun recoil. It is incredibly suitable for quick outdoor tasks, eliminating the need for extra accessories, unlike carrying a larger Glock 17. With a reasonable Ruger LCP Max price tag of around $470, it stands as one of the best in its class.<br><br>For those seeking to optimize their Ruger experience, check out our MCARBO Ruger LCP, Ruger LCP 2, or Ruger LCP MAX upgrades.

<h2 style="text-align: center; margin-left: 20px;"><u><b>Glock Breaks the Mold</b></u></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">A long time ago, in a country far away …. The Austrian based company Glock released the G17 and absolutely shook the handgun market. Many were skeptical about “plastic” polymer firearms. Polymer firearms first saw action in the Vietnam War with the original M-16, where they were widely seen as cheap and unreliable. Several other firearm companies, including Heckler & Koch, attempted to build reliable polymer firearms but never really succeeded. The popular use of polymer wasn’t until 1982 when Gaston Glock perfected the durability of polymer in his Glock 17. Since then, every firearms manufacturer under the sun has released some type of polymer firearm. There are many budget Glock-style alternatives out on the market today, often called Glock clones or Glock "Killers''. Some of the most popular are the Smith & Wesson SD9VE, the Palmetto State Armory Dagger, and the Shadow Systems MR920. Today at M*CARBO we are using "The Force" to compare the Glock to several of its closest competitors to see which is the best compact 9mm.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><u><b>PSA Dagger</b></u></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">The latest and increasingly popular Glock clone is the Palmettos State Armory Dagger. PSA sought out to make handgun compatible with the widely popular Gen 3 Glock 17. After the patent expired on the Gen 3 Glock 17, aftermarket parts manufacturers went crazy making all kinds of slides, frames, and just about anything you can think of for the Gen 3. PSA started making slides and frames for Glocks, but then decided to put them together to make a serialized compact they called the Dagger. Now for a budget handgun the Dagger will give you a good bang for your buck, but not without a few flaws as well.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><u><b>Smith & Wesson SD9VE</b></u></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Smith & Wesson were probably one of the first to make a Glock imitation when they first released their SD Sigma in 1994. Not only was the SD Sigma plagued with issues, they were also sued by Glock for patent infringement by 1997. In 2011 S&W worked out all the kinks of the original Sigma and made a damn good Glock clone. My very first handgun I ever bought was a SD9VE, so it’s a near and dear pistol to my heart. This gun is the perfect handgun for beginner shooters with a small budget. For $400 it’s the best quality budget handgun you can get. However, what you save on the sticker price you’ll have to shell out more cash for new accessories, as S&W parts are not compatible with Glock. </p>
<p><b>Good</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Wide frame and great grip texture makes it really comfortable to hold</li>
<li>Highly durable and made with good quality parts</li>
<li>Great price (MSRP’s at $400)</li>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><u><b>Shadow Systems MR920</b></u></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">If you’re willing to shell out some extra cash for a daily carry with all the bells and whistles, then this is definitely the pistol for you. Shadow Systems did one heck of a job in designing their own Glock platform. Shadow Systems debuted their MR920 (MR standing for Multi-Role) at SHOT 2020. They modeled it after the Glock 19 and took out some of the small flaws Glock had. The MR920 is highly customizable and is compatible with almost all Glock accessories. While it’s not exactly wallet friendly, you will definitely feel the quality you paid for.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><u><b>Polymer80 PFS9/PFC9</b></u></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Polymer80 has been making Glock parts and slides for years. After the Glock Gen 3 patent expired, they began making their own serialized Glock imitations in the fall of 2019. Just like some of its competitors, they took all the Glock fans feedback and crafted a really high quality polymer firearm. At $550 MSRP, it’s one of the best Glock style pistols on the market. </p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><u><b>Conclusion</b></u></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Glock started a complete revolution in the firearms industry. There are so many more Glock alternatives out there, but these are definitely the top 4 currently on the market. As always, its hard to determine which is the best compact 9mm because it all comes down to preference. While some Glock clones might be better at the range or (if you’re a little broke like me) are better on the wallet, they still owe a great homage to Daddy Glock. I own a Gen 3 Glock 17 and I could never be happier with my purchase. Still, all these compact 9mm are just fun to shoot so always try before you buy if possible. I hope this article helps you decide your next carry. Happy Shooting, and May the Force Be With You!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><i>With thousands of handguns out there, why do our best and bravest choose Glock?</i></p>
<p></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><b>How Glock got its Start</b></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;font-size: 17px;">Glocks have been long trusted by militaries all over the world, even before they developed their first handgun. Gaston Glock, the founder of Glock, started his company in Austria (not to be confused with Australia, no Kangaroos or Koalas there) beginning in 1963 by manufacturing injected molded metal and polymer parts. By 1970, Glock was producing a line of military products consisting of knives, grenade casings, and machine gun belt links. In the early 1980’s Austrian military and law enforcement agencies were requesting a dependable striker-fired handgun to replace the hammer-fired Steyr GB, which had many flaws in its design. In 1982, Glock released its G17 which was immediately adopted by Austrian Military and LEO’s after outperforming 8 handguns from 5 major established firearms manufacturers (H&K, Sig Sauer, Beretta, FN, and Steyr). This immediately grabbed the attention of NATO and the U.S Military who were in the market to replace the iconic and widely used Browning M1911. NATO and the U.S were looking for a lighter pistol that had a larger magazine capacity than the M1911’s 7 round magazine, and Glock absolutely delivered. </p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><b>Reinventing the Modern Handgun</b></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;font-size: 17px;">When Gaston Glock took on the challenge of designing a handgun for the Austrian Military, he wanted to do more than just meet their specs. He wanted to revolutionize pistols as we knew it by combining a kind of quality, durability, and reliability never seen before. Glock set out to design a pistol that would be dependable and safe, something you could pick up and fire at a moment’s notice but also be protective against accidental discharges. It was the first of its kind to include 3 internal safeties in the trigger, firing pin, and drop safeties. The Austrian Military also wanted a sidearm that was simple to field strip, so Glock designed the G17 to only comprise of 35 parts. Another request by the Austrian Military was to maintain the high magazine capacity the Steyr GB offered. Glock did just that while keeping its G17 more compact. The most notable change Glock introduced was its revolutionary durable polymer frame, creating the lightest standard pistol made at the time. With the first Glock 17 being lightweight, reliable, consistent and simple, it was an obvious choice for the new standard issue sidearm for militaries and law enforcement agencies all over the world.</p>

</div>
</div>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><b>The Road to #1</b></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;font-size: 17px;">After the Glock 17 passed the NATO durability test in 1984, the Norwegian Army selected it as their service pistol as well. The rapid adoption of this new innovative pistol opened the eyes of military and law enforcement agencies everywhere. The G17 had gained huge popularity from U.S Law Enforcement, and soon after federal, state and local agencies were adopting them left and right. By 1986, Glock opened its U.S Headquarters in Smyrna Georgia. Once Glock was established in the U.S, they began collaborating with LEO and Federal agencies and became available in multiple sizes and calibers. Today over 65% of all the federal, state and local agencies issue Glocks as their standard issue.</p>
<div style="max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; display:flex; justify-content: space-between;">

</div>
<p></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><b>Adoption by Special Forces</b></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;font-size: 17px;">By 2003, the Glock sensation reached U.S Special forces. One of the most elite Special Forces units, the U.S Army Delta Force, was the first Special Forces unit to use .40 caliber Glock 22. Despite not being adopted by all of the U.S military because of their pre-9/11 requisition of the Berretta M9 and continued favoritism of the M1911, U.S Special Forces units began requesting Glocks specifically. After Delta Forces saw continued success with Glock in the Middle East during Operation Enduring Freedom, the U.S Special Forces Command (SOCOM) took notice. More covert operations were being conducted in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the U.S Special Forces required a smaller and lighter pistol for conceal carry missions. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;font-size: 17px;">The lightweight, high capacity and compact line of Glocks was soon highly requested by many Special Forces Operators. SOCOM was reluctant at first to open a new arms contract because the M9 Beretta was chosen as the standard issue sidearm just a few years prior. As their popularity from LEO agencies sky-rocketed, SOCOM finally decided to give their operators what they wanted. From 2006-2010 the rest of SOCOM units (U.S Army Special Forces, Navy SEALs, and the Air Force’s 24<sup>th</sup> Special Tactics Squadron) began issuing different Glock models to meet the needs of their specific operations. Today the DOD has replaced the M9 Beretta with the Sig P320/M17, but many Special Forces units still rely heavily on the Glock 17, 19, and 22.</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><b>Glock Now</b></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;font-size: 17px;">Today, Glock is the leading firearms industry in sales with the G17 and the G19 being the two top selling handguns of all time. Currently Glock is in its 5<sup>th</sup> generation of firearms with its newest subcompact G43X being both the newest in its series and the highest selling pistol of 2022 so far. The name Glock alone is the first you think about when it comes to pistols. As a company they always are listening to customer feedback and constantly improving their craft generation after generation. Every single firearm they have released has been consistently reliable and innovative. It’s no surprise that many firearm manufacturers today use many of the concepts Glock designed into the original G17. Glock will forever be a leader in pistols and I look forward to seeing their future innovations</p>

</div>
<p>In the fiercely debated competition of Sig P365 vs Hellcat, it's challenging to definitively declare a winner. The Sig P365 vs Springfield Hellcat debate has brought firearms enthusiasts to consider every element of these compact titans, exploring dimensions, frame, slide, sights, safety, trigger, magazine capacity, firing and recoil, quality and aesthetics, and, of course, price.<br></p>
<p></p>
<h2><b>Dimensions and Frame</b></h2>
<p></p>
<div style="max-width: 700px; margin: 0 auto">

<p></p>
<p>Examining the dimensions, the Springfield Hellcat and Sig P365 are almost identical in size and weight. However, a closer inspection reveals the Springfield Hellcat’s compactness in height, setting it apart. When it comes to frames, the Hellcat offers a wider grip, potentially benefiting those with a preference for a more substantial hold. However, this is contrasted by the P365’s longer length, offering a snug grip around the magwell, particularly beneficial for those with larger hands.</p>

</div>
<h2><b>Slide and Sights</b></h2>
<p>The slide of the Sig P365 is often lauded in Sig Sauer P365 reviews for its superior design and smooth operation, outperforming the Hellcat. The serrations on the P365 are notably more defined, aiding in the firearm’s usability, especially in high-pressure situations.</p>

<p>Sights are a significant differentiator in the Springfield Hellcat vs Sig P365 battle. Springfield opts for Tritium U-dot sights, creating a contrasting design compared to the Sig P365’s varied sight options, depending on the model. The base and X-series models of the Sig P365 offer X-RAY3 Day/Night sights, providing a clear sight picture, a feature often praised in Sig Sauer P365 review discussions.</p>

<h2><b>Safety and Trigger</b></h2>
<p>Safety is paramount, and both the Sig Sauer P365 and Springfield Hellcat uphold this principle, incorporating manual safety in their State Compliant models. The Hellcat, however, gains an edge with its standard trigger safety.</p>

<p>Trigger design and responsiveness are pivotal for many users, and both the Sig P365 and Hellcat offer unique experiences. The P365 is renowned for its smooth pull, while the Hellcat offers a more definitive trigger pull, catering to varied preferences.</p>

</div>
<p></p>
<h2><b>Magazine Capacity and Firing Experience</b></h2>
<p>On the firing range, magazine capacity becomes a pivotal factor. The Hellcat surpasses the base model P365, boasting an 11+1 standard mag capacity. However, the Sig P365 X-Series, especially the XMACRO, holds a commanding lead with a whopping 17+1 capacity.</p>

<p>Recoil management is also essential, and the P365’s longer frame design proves advantageous, especially when paired with the compensator-integrated models like the P365 XMACRO and Hellcat RDP.</p>

</div>
<p></p>
<h2><b>Quality, Aesthetics and Price</b></h2>
<p>Quality-wise, both firearms are on par, with the Hellcat’s frame feeling sturdier and the P365’s slide showcasing unparalleled smoothness. A point of distinction is the P365’s American-made origin, compared to the Hellcat’s production in Croatia. Aesthetically, the sleek design of the Sig Sauer P365 slightly overshadows the Springfield Hellcat.</p>
<p>The Springfield Hellcat price stands around $600 for the base model, which is somewhat higher compared to the Sig Sauer P365 price of around $500. However, some might argue that given the Hellcat’s features and performance, this price difference is justified. The upgraded models, like the Sig P365 XMACRO and Hellcat RDP, have higher price tags, around $800 and $1000 respectively, with each offering features that warrant the cost.<br></p>
<h2><b>The Results</b></h2>
<p>Determining the winner in the Sig P365 vs Springfield Hellcat debate is a challenging endeavor. Both firearms are award-winning micro-compacts, each with its unique advantages. The Springfield Hellcat review highlights its compactness and sturdiness, making it a solid choice for those seeking a smaller carry. In contrast, the Sig Sauer P365 reviews underscore its versatility, accommodating design, and overall performance, especially in the XMACRO model. Ultimately, your choice between the Hellcat vs Sig P365 will hinge on your personal preferences, shooting style, and specific needs.</p>

<p>In the fiercely debated competition of Sig P365 vs Hellcat, it's challenging to definitively declare a winner.

<p>Examining the dimensions, the Springfield Hellcat and Sig P365 are almost identical in size and weight. However, a closer inspection reveals the Springfield Hellcat’s compactness in height, setting it apart. When it comes to frames, the Hellcat offers a wider grip, potentially benefiting those with a preference for a more substantial hold.

<h2><b>Revolutionary Features</b></h2>
<p></p>
<div style="max-width: 500px; margin: 0 auto;">
<a href="https://mcarbo.americommerce.com/.Blog%20Pages%20Images/Sig%20Sauer%20P365/mcarbo-xmacro.png" target="_blank"><img src="/.Blog Pages Images/Sig Sauer P365/mcarbo-xmacro.png" data-image="84h8cf7lh5hr" width="100%" alt="Sig Sauer P365 XMACRO Updates Graphic"></a></div>
<p>Taking the best elements from the beloved P365 Series, Sig Sauer amalgamated them to craft a compact handgun that surpasses its predecessors. The P365 XMACRO sports the compact barrel length of the P365X, while incorporating the advanced sight radius and recoil dampening characteristics of the P365XL. However, the innovation doesn’t stop there; the P365 XMACRO introduces several improvements, truly redefining what it means to be a fully loaded compact carry.</p>
<p>This handgun boasts an 18-round magazine capacity (9mm) while maintaining a total height of only 5.2 inches and a width just over an inch. Such dimensions ensure that the firearm is not only easy to conceal but also fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.</p>
<p>One of the significant enhancements is the built-in slide-mounted compensator. This new feature reduces recoil, allowing for quicker and more accurate successive shots, making the P365 XMACRO more shootable than ever. Additionally, firearm enthusiasts will appreciate the beloved X-Series trigger that ensures a smooth and easy trigger pull.</p>
<p>The XMACRO comes with the same easy optic compatibility as the P365XL but goes a step further by incorporating an additional M1913 rail underneath. This feature facilitates the easy addition of lights and lasers, enhancing the firearm’s versatility. Moreover, SIG has redesigned the grips to be removable, offering three different sizes (S/M/L) with each purchase, ensuring a customizable and comfortable experience for the user.</p>
<h2><b>Why P365 XMACRO is the Best EDC</b></h2>
<p>In evaluating the suitability of an EDC, the "Three C’s” are paramount: concealability, firing capability, and comfortability. The P365 XMACRO excels in all these aspects, with an overall length of just 6.6 inches, fitting easily into any hip or conceal carry holster. Weighing in at a mere 21.5oz, this lightweight design ensures quick and easy drawing.</p>
<p>The firing capability of the P365 XMACRO is unmatched. With an 18-round total magazine capacity, which is almost unheard of for its compact size, users will spend more time shooting and less time reloading. The built-in slide-mounted compensator reduces recoil by 25%, facilitating faster secondary shots on target. Coupled with the X-Series Flat Trigger, every shot is smooth and easy.</p>
<p>Comfort is not compromised in the design of the XMACRO. The new Polymer grips are removable and customizable, fitting your hand perfectly. Shooting the XMACRO feels more comfortable than sitting on an old leather couch, a testament to SIG’s commitment to user experience.</p>
<h2><b>Comparing the P365 Series</b></h2>
<p>A comparison of the P365 Series underscores the advancements that the P365 XMACRO brings to the table. It stands out in terms of magazine capacity, size, recoil management, and customizability, setting a new standard in the EDC category.<br></p>

<h2><b>Ruger LC Carbine Autoloading Rifle</b></h2>
<p>The new Ruger LC Carbine 5.7 x28 is a testament to Ruger’s commitment to innovation and versatility. Weighing just 6lbs and offering folding stock options, it stands out as an ideal companion for backpacking, small game hunting, or range shooting. The LC Carbine's compact dimensions, with a barrel length of 16.25 and a total length of 30.60, make it Ruger's most compact carbine yet!</p>
<h3><b>Customization and Versatility</b></h3>
<p>Customization is at the forefront of the LC’s design. With its Picatinny rail system and fully ambidextrous features, including a manual safety, reversible charging handle, ergonomic bolt release, and extended magazine release latch, the Ruger LC Carbine caters to a wide range of shooters’ needs. The threaded barrel, complete with thread protection, allows for the addition of caliber appropriate flash hiders, muzzle brakes, and suppressors. One remarkable feature of the LC is its adoption of the 5.7x28mm rounds, which sets it apart in the market, making the Ruger LC Carbine 5.7 a unique offering.
