ST9 From T R Imports: Feature Rich Duty Gun

April 16, 2018 by Graham Baates Leave a Comment

After the announcement and fall out of the Army’s Modular Handgun Competition we’ve been distracted by all the headlines. From the new products that flew under the radar like the FN 509 to Glock’s incredible ability to not change much but call it new gun news has been busy since January’s announcement. Meanwhile, in the rest of the world other manufacturers have been continuing on, some of them under NATO contracts such as Sarsilmaz.

The ST9 imported by T R Imports offers the features many shooters seek. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of Sarsilmaz before, they’ve been in operation since 1880 and their 540,000 square-foot facility makes everything from revolvers to machine guns for military and law enforcement contracts delivered worldwide.

True fully-ambidextrous controls, adjustable steel sights, interchangeable back straps, translucent magazines, front slide serrations, and a market price of around $400. Does it have your attention yet? Here are the specs direct from T R Import’s website.

All-in the ST9 offers nearly everything we’ve been told to look for in a fighting handgun. Full-sized handguns have been somewhat ignored of late while we all focused on wonder-nine single-stack carry options. Although the ST9 is a bit too large for my taste to carry inside the waistband, it would make for an excellent duty gun, IPSC, training, or nightstand option. What remains to be seen is if the NATO-spec build also means the recoil assembly needs NATO-spec ammunition to properly cycle. It’s easy to forget that most common 115gr 9mm range-fodder ammunition is actually loaded a bit softer than the true 9x19mm NATO round. This was largely forgotten when the Canik TP9SF Elite was released and resulted in complaints from those who simply didn’t understand. To see the ST9 in action watch the video below.

Grand Power’s Stribog Carbine Pistol from Eagle Imports

June 9, 2018 by Rick Dembroski Leave a Comment

Eagle Imports has been importing the Grand Power family of firearms into the United States for a little while now and the overall opinion is that the Slovakian built pistols feature good quality and ergonomics at a competitive price point. Our own writer Graham Baates has featured several article on the variants he has been able to get his hands on. Well today Eagle Imports has announced another pistol in the line, the Stribog. This pistol looks remarkably like sub machine guns offered by Swiss firearms maker B&T and their APC9 chambered in, you guessed it 9×19. Since I don’t have the gun in my hands just yet I will let the press release speak for itself.

Stribog, the mythical Slavic god of wind and storms, would be proud of his new namesake. Grand Power is excited to announce that the new Stribog semi-automatic carbine pistol has begun shipping in the United States, via Eagle Imports, Inc.

It’s extremely fun to shoot and there is an optional adapter for a stabilizing pistol brace. It’s one of my new favorites for sport shooting and close protection.”

Legend has it that the god Stribog could start or finish a storm. This lightweight, aircraft-grade anodized aluminum alloy pistol carries through on the legend – featuring a dual mass slide that significantly reduces recoil and improves overall control.

Other notable features include:

Ambidextrous safety and magazine releases
Pop-up front and rear sights
Threaded barrel with thread protector
M-Lok accessory rails
Optional back plate AR tube adapter for pistol brace attachment available for purchase separately
Lifetime service contract for original owners

DEMO DAYS ARE COMING

I have been promised one of these in the very near future, interesting enough it should get here about the time another new to be released sub machine-gun in 9mm arrives. It might be interesting to put these two very guns side by side and see how they stack up. They are going after the same market after all so wouldn’t it be fair to our readers to see how they compare ? Check back on this article and see how things develop.

Grand Power Q1S from Eagle Imports Announced

June 8, 2018 by Rick Dembroski Leave a Comment

If you have been reading the site for any length of time then you have no doubt seen that we have reviewed quite a few pistols from Grand Power and the overall opinion is that they are great entry level guns. The common misconception about the Grand Power is that it is made in Turkey, which is not true at all. In fact the pistols are made in the neighboring country of Slovakia, a country that many of us older Americans remember as half of the former country of Czechoslovakia. We currently have requests in to Eagle Imports to perform an extended test and evaluation cycle on the new Grand Power Q1S. Until it arrives later this summer we will have to make do with the images and specifications that Eagle Imports has sent to us. Overall the pistol looks interesting, but proof is always on the range.

AR Adapter for glock Style Mags: American Tactical Imports Does it Right

American Tactical Imports (ATI) had their proto-type AR magazine well adapter at SHOT 2018. This cleverly conceived adapter changes your milspec AR lower into a a glock patternmagazine shooting pistol or carbine ready for your 9mm or .40 S&W upper.

While not in production yet, ATI expects to be shipping these wonders of technology out in the next few months. Looking closely at the prototype, it is high quality and filled with features. There are rumors of future models using the magazines of the Beretta 92/96 and the Sig 320.

A key feature which sets the ATI adapter apart is last round bolt hold open. This basic feature is absent from many very expensive carbines. You don’t have to shoot like a communist. The adapter inserts from the bottom and locks into place using the AR magazine catch.

The ATI adapter requires NO modifications to your lower or magazines. The release for the Glock magazines, pictured below, is located at the base of the adapter just forward of the magazine.

Made from 6061-T6 Aluminum, they only weigh 7 grams (.25 ounces). Even a light weight build can afford that.

The best part of the story is these devices are made in Summerville, South Carolina, helping make America and her ARs great once again. Life time warranty!

When they ship, the ATI AR adapter will include one 10-round ETS Glock mag. You can get your very own ATI adapter HERE when they are ready. Projected MSRP: $169.95
