Quality firearms reviews with Ballachy? Our team of reviewers is composed of a mix- experimentation enthusiasts, professionals and regular people who want the best recommendations for their needs. We don’t touch any product during our research process because it’s too difficult to get multiple rifles together in one place at once – but you can trust that when we do recommend something specific from among all types available on Amazon or other sites like them (in addition to consulting industry knowledge), those choices were made based solely off extensive testing by experts just like yourself!

Speaking of the magazine, we were impressed with their construction, how easy they are to load to capacity and with how they dropped free from the pistol and clicked into place with smooth assurance. The Kimber R7 Mako comes in two versions, one with an included red-dot, and the other with an optics-ready slide. Ours came equipped with a Crimson Trace CTS-1500. The price difference between the two models is $200, and if you’re at all mechanically inclined you can purchase a CTS-1500 for about $140 and save yourself a few bucks for some extra ammo. But even with the optic included, we felt the pistol was a hell of a value. And given how well it ran out-of-the box while being smartly configured for concealed-carry use, it earned the Great Buy designation as well.
I believe that the SIG P320 compact is not the best gun to ever exist and nor is it the best 9mm to exist. However, it makes my editor’s choice as the best pistol, because it’s a jack of all trades gun that can efficiently serve as a concealed carry gun, a capable home defense firearm, and a fun range gun. I personally love how the modular design allows it to jump between categories and gives you a higher degree of customization. The gun comes with a rail and metal SIG night sights, as well as an additional magazine. Therefore, because this firearm is in all categories like CCW, home defense, range, and more, I give it the overall best 9mm gun you can check out. You won’t be disappointed if this is your first, or your only gun.
Some shooters might be put off by the P210’s single-stack magazine that only holds eight rounds, but that didn’t bother us in the least. The pistol’s accuracy, speed on target, and overall shootability won us over. If you want an in-depth look at the evolution of the P210 and the P210 Carry, check out Sean Murphy’s Sig Sauer P210 review. One drawback that does limit the P210’s versatility is that it is configured for right-handed shooters. There’s no way to reverse any of the controls and manipulating them as a lefty is a chore. Despite this, the P210 rose to the top of the heap in the mid-sized pistol category earning an Editor’s Choice award. Combining elegance, utility and a good price it is a defensive carry gun with heirloom appeal.
Guns for new shooters is always a very touchy subject. When I tackled the topic last year, I got hate mail for months for having the temerity to suggest that revolvers were often not the best option for new shooters. Based on mountains of empirical evidence and over 30 years as a professional instructor, my mind hasn’t changed; revolvers are still not the best answer. Neither are tiny guns, which often recoil more and are harder to handle and manipulate. Also on my No-No list are pink guns, purple guns or any cosmetic treatment that tries to “pretty up” a sub-par tool for a neophyte shooter. Finally, you won’t find bottom of the barrel crap guns on this list either. Learning how to shoot is tough, it’s tougher if your junk gun doesn’t work. Read even more information at Ballachy.
