Handguns Descriptions
MasterPiece Arms Protector II MPA380
Once MasterPiece Arms decided to build the Protector Series of sub-compact double action only pistols, they chose to stay with what has proven to work best when building a quality firearm; CNC machined parts from solid steel and no short cuts. The quality built and beautifully designed MPA32 and MPA380 Protector Series pistols are available in all Black or with a Stainless Steel upper slide. Both the precision upper slide and lower receiver are machined from solid billets of steel, no castings or polymers of any kind are used. When assembled, they become one of the highest quality firearms available in this class.
Smith & Wesson M&P 9 Shield
Smith & Wesson put the power and features of their full-sized M&P line into a slim, lightweight striker-fired pistol that you may just find ideal for everyday carry, the Shield. This is an "easy to conceal" pistol that offers professional grade features, simple operation, and proven, reliable performance. Weighing in at only a bit over 20 ounces (empty), and not quite one inch wide, the Shield is the first-choice for over one million savvy gun owners. Each Shield 9 comes standard with two magazines; one 7-round flush-mount, and an extended 8-round. The frame is matte-black polymer, and the slide is Armornite-coated stainless steel. This particular model comes with a manual thumb safety. Legendary Smith & Wesson quality, at a price point often associated with "budget" guns, the Shield is the personal defense option you've been looking for. *Also available in 380 ACP, 40 SW, and 45 ACP, there's a Shield for every need, and every shooter.
