The Ranger II, the latest addition to the North American Arms family of fine firearms, is a wonderful little .22 Magnum single-action mini-revolver that no hunter, trail rider, collector, or shooting enthusiast should be without. The one-of-a-kind break-top Ranger II is highlighted by the versatile .22 Magnum chambering, as well as its extremely small stature – just 7.6 ounces loaded, and just 51/16 inches long. With a five-round cylinder capacity, the Ranger II sports a 15/8-inch barrel, and a fixed bead front sight. Whether for personal protection or ridding the world of unwanted varmints, the Ranger II surely is the gun to call upon.

sarusa.com Possibly the most rigorously tested pistol ever developed, the new SAR9 from SAR USA endured desert-like temperatures of 130 degrees, Arctic conditions of -50, salt fog, high altitude, endless rain, solar radiation, fouling, drop tests, and some 150,000 rounds while still at the factory, with an additional 50,000 rounds, courtesy of local law enforcement. Add to that another 90,000 NATO rounds expended in a shoot-out among Austrian, German, and U.S. manufacturers, and the SAR9 emerged the clear-cut winner. The SAR9 comes in a lockable hard case with two extra 17-round magazines, three back straps, cleaning tools, and a lock.
In today’s pistol marketplace, the choices are almost without number. Yet there always is a standout, and according to the folks at CDNN Sports, this standout takes the form of the Walther 9mm Creed. Features upon features are what separate the Creed from its competitors – a precocked double-action trigger system, bobbed hammer, abrasion-resistant Tenifer coating, ambidextrous magazine release, lowprofile steel three-dot sights, and front and rear cocking serrations on the slide. The Creed comes complete with all this, plus two 16-round magazines, and at a price – $269.99 – that’s tough to beat.
