Aimpoint’s latest red dot sight, the COA, is specifically developed for concealed carry applications—whether in a professional capacity or for civilian use where permitted. The size of the U.S. market for red dot handgun optics is impressive, with the potential to move hundreds of thousands of sights. Aimpoint’s track record of success is well-documented, and the company stands as a highly profitable enterprise. A significant portion of Aimpoint’s production is dedicated to various military and law enforcement forces around the World.

When you hear the word “handgun,” the image in your mind could vary wildly. Everything from the cowboy revolvers of the Wild West to a modern pistol with a silencer, flashlight, red dot sight, and extended magazine fall into that category. If you are thinking about getting a handgun, understanding the various types is critical. Let’s break them down into categories that can help you find what you are looking for.

Glock has introduced new "Hunter Edition" models for the G45 and G20 pistols, tailored for hunting enthusiasts.

Just in time for international trade shows, Enforce Tac, IWA, and WBK International, Glock has announced a new series of Hunter Edition pistols dressed in olive green. The new handguns feature steel sights, threaded barrels, and the option to have the new Aimpoint COA optic installed from the factory. Hunter Edition handguns will be available in five variants according to Glock and will be based on the 9mm Glock 45 and 10mm Glock 20 models.

Glock has partnered with Aimpoint, the pioneer of red dot sights, to introduce the exclusive Glock x Aimpoint COA Combo. This package features select Glock 9mm pistols—G43X, G48, G19 Gen5, G45, and G47—pre-installed with the Aimpoint COA red dot sight using the innovative A-CUT interface. The Aimpoint COA optic is optimized for concealed carry, offering a compact, lightweight design with a fully enclosed emitter for protection against environmental elements. The A-CUT mounting system allows the sight to be mounted deeper into the slide, providing extreme stability and co-witnessing with standard Glock iron sights. This collaboration delivers an out-of-the-box solution for shooters seeking enhanced accuracy and reliability.

The Glock 19 is the most popular pistol in the United States. It’s small enough to conceal, but large enough to defend your home. It’s chambered in 9mm Luger, which is powerful enough to stop most foes but cheap enough to practice with. It’s trusted by both the FBI and the Navy SEALs, so it should be plenty good enough for the rest of us. So whenever someone asks what their first pistol should be, my first response has often been the Glock 19.

Aimpoint and Glock have teamed up to release a pistol and red dot sight package, available starting January 20th. This collaboration features select Glock 9mm pistols equipped with the new Aimpoint COA™ red dot optic, mounted using Aimpoint’s proprietary A-CUT™ interface. Mankind can fly to the Moon, but we cannot mount a red dot to the slide of a pistol in a reliable way. Will Aimpoint’s new A-Cut be a cut above the rest?

This Glock has undergone the complete Transformers package, and I’ll advise anyone to look into their national and local legislation before ordering. This is the BattleSteel ARM Brace for Glock Gen5 pistols, designed to improve shooting stability and control. Compatible with 9mm and .40SW models such as the Glock 17, 19X, and 22, it features an adjustable length of pull from 11 to 14 inches for a customizable fit.

On Monday, July 22, lawyers for the city of Chicago filed paperwork to end their high-profile lawsuit against Glock. Does this mean a big legal win for the Austrian gunmaker, and for American shooters? No. Instead of giving up in their aggressive legal battle, Chicago’s leaders are doubling down, and expanding their lawsuit.
