SIG has re-introduced one of the pistols that made them famous. Now designated the P225-A1 4 variations are being initially offered.

For those of you that do not know, The SIG P225-A1 is a single stack 9MM autoloader with terrific ergonomics. All versions on display had the optional tritium night sights along with the standard length trigger. The SIG P225-a1 does employ SIG’s Short Reset Trigger system. All slides are finished in Nitron (except TT) and the frames are hard anodized. Weight is 30.5 ounces for the base model
This version was wearing very attractive checkered wood stocks.

This standard version is wearing two piece G10 grips with the SIG medallion

The third version sports a two tone look

The final offering is a Tactical model complete with threaded barrel and tall sights for suppressor use

The base model has an MSRP of $1,122. The base model shown above carries a retain of $1,236 due to the optional night sights

Taurus has done something interesting with their little 380 auto loader

For folks that have trouble holding on to the slide during loading, there is now a pair of “Wings” that fold out from the back of the slide.

If you like SIGs new line of Premium defensive ammunition, the projectiles are going to become available for the hand loader.

The first is the 200 grain V-crown hollow point in .451 diameter

Beretta is introducing 22LR versions of the longstanding model 92. The first two offerings will be standard barrels on frames both with and without equipment rails. Later models may be available with threaded barrels. An accessory threaded barrel will be offered

The pistol ships with a single magazine and has an MSRP of $399.

One of the things asked about in the Smith-WessonForum was the Korth conversion cylinder for the L-frame revolvers

This is a kit that includes a new cylinder, crane and a speed loader all designed to allow 9MM ammunition to be shot from any of the L-frame 58x or 68x families of revolvers that use a full length ejector rod.

The crane is supplied oversized and required fitting to the frame it will be utilized on. Once fitted, the original cylinder/crane assembly and the Korth assemble can be swapped anytime the user desires.

MSRP on the complete package is $500. The kits are currently in the US and available to be ordered

If you have ever priced purchasing a second cylinder and added the cost of letting Pinnacle or TK re-chamber and cut it for moon clips plus the price of a dozen or so moon clips, you will realize this is a fairly good value.

I will add some indoor photos of the component parts in the next day or so.
