The cartridge hasn't changed either. The gun will change when the cartridge and projectile change. We're not shooting lasers, phasers, or blasters yet.

I see most modern "new" cartridges as gimmicks.

.357 Sig, .45 GAP, the list goes on. No developments, just a way to sell more bullets/magazines/guns. Answers seeking questions if you will.

I'm surprised no-one has even noticed the new 7.5 by BRNO. Just a re-vamp of the old hot 7.62x25 Tokarev round, except now ever hotter and with a couple innovations to the slide and receiver for recoil control. I also like the sight options.

I had never seen that before, and it looks really badass. Like a 1911, a SIG P210, and a CZ had a weird three way love child that popped out and grew up into a barrel chested bruiser.

Also, what's up with that recoil system? Is that basically just a big weight strapped around the front of the mainspring rod?

someone will say "its a Taurus" and most will grumble to agree. I have shot the curve and it's a great point shooting pistol. I like the PT709 Slim as well, they are glockesque; however, they are more purpose built for self defense and female shooters.

Main thing is the gun is different. It's an outside the box design.

The Canik TP9 series is interesting. They're very cheap and have good reviews so far. I've been meaning to pick up a used one since I keep seeing them around $275 or less.

I've bought three Caniks - impressed with all of them, but liked the Stingray C most of the lot. My handgun of choice is the Sig P210, but I don't have to carry it every day for work. I'd probably be more attracted to Glocks if I had one on my belt all day.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Remington R51...
that got a lot of people excited.
until they got one.

I was pissing myself to get one for my wife. Finally, big GS not too far away called and said they had gotten mine in, and one other, but I wasn't going to like it. They were right. They sent both of them back.

Still ... I'll be looking for new CZ.

Putting cart & horse into sequence, metal cased handgun ammunition is darn near mature technology, from mfg viewpoint , and from fulfilling performance needs, within ergonomic envelopes and the laws of physics.

Seen many Gyrojets lately ? Only slightly more likely to have ever seen a caseless H&K .

The potential area of more or less viable innovation would be in sintered projectiles, to "maybe" be able to seriously high velocities combined with particular shapes to push the size/ energy/ recoil envelope meaningfully beyond conventional ammo. So far testing and reviews ( vs advertising hype ) are discussing being kinda similar in terminal effect to average conventional ammo with less recoil. Eh . But throwing ideas out, imagine a .25acp with 1500 fps, subcompact 9mm-ish with half the recoil, a .50cal with 9mm recoil ? If somthing like those were to come to fruition, they would be meaningfully different.

The linked BRNO is actually interesting To Me, since I like things like .32-20 and .32Mag . But look at the specs. Basically it is .30Carbine rifle ballistics from a single shot pistol, the size of a full size semiauto. I like it, but I'm wierd in some of my firearm tastes. Absent a legal climate limiting civillians to single shots .32 and smaller, it would be lucky to achieve the market success of the Ruger Hawkeye.

On the eighth day, Moses brought forth the 1911 from the mountain and God smiled!

John Moses Browning that is! :innocent0

It's not a single shot. It IS a magazine fed semiauto. 14+1 magazine capacity.

As a lefty, the Curve has no appeal to me, although I wouldn't want a gun that was designed for one hand, because you might not always be able to shoot from that side. I have the PT740 Slim. I agree with you about the PT7xx design being propose driven. In hindsight, I would have gotten the 709 or even the 738. I was going through my one-hand, two-hand, left and right drills with the 740 last week. That puppy torques a lot with a one hand shot. 40 S&W is a bit snappy for a one pound gun.

5.7x28 is an innovation. The round was developed by starting with the terminal ballistics, then backwards to the cartridge to deliver the bullet within the desired parameters.

And you got to love a 20 round, non-extended magazine.

.45 GAP

this still makes me laugh

erwos · Nov 29, 2016

I agree that the Sig P250/320 handguns are the biggest new technological development since the Glock.

I was reading up on it last night. I like the fact that it is the product of mission-driven design. Surprising to me is the fact it has been around for 26 years.

No one's posted this yet, so.....

The Bond Arms Bullpup.

Bond Arms bought out Boberg and made some improvements to the design.

In the last decade the crown should go to the FNX 45 Tactical. Sure its a plastic fantastic, but its a plastic fantastic with 15+1 rounds of .45ACP with a threaded barrel and an optics-ready slide.
