Low-Profile Pistol
FNH’s new FN FNS-9 and FNS-40 striker-fired auto- loading duty pistols are ambidextrous, allowing the user to access and activate the manual thumb safety levers, slide-stop lever and magazine release button with either hand. Standard features on the FNS include a stainless-steel barrel and slide with front- and rear-cocking serrations, a full-length stainless-steel recoil spring guide rod and a low-profile three-dot night sight. The FNS-9 magazine holds 17 rounds and the FNS-40 holds 14 rounds. Both come standard with three magazines and a locking hard case. (Pictured: FNS-9)

Laser-Equipped Pistols
The new Ruger LCP and LC9 pistols, equipped with a trigger-guard-mounted LaserMax Center Fire red diode laser, feature an ambidextrous on-and-off switch and a polymer-framed, hammer-fired, double-action-only design. The LCP is chambered in a .380 Auto and has a capacity of 6+1 rounds. The LC9 is chambered in a 9 mm Luger and has a capacity of 7+1 rounds. Both pistols are designed for snag-free carry in a pocket or holster, and come with flat-bottom and finger-groove extension magazine floor plates that can be changed to accommodate the shooter’s preference. The laser can be adjusted for wind and elevation with an Allen wrench (included), and can be removed easily with a Phillips-head screwdriver. (Pictured: LC9)

Small, but Deadly
Sig Sauer’s new P224 is a subcompact firearm ideal for concealed or off-duty carry. The gun features a lightweight alloy frame and a double-stack magazine that holds 11 rounds of 9 mm and 10 rounds of .40 S&W or .357 Sig. The P224 can also accommodate newer P229 magazines, which allows LEOs to carry a full-size spare magazine as a backup. Initial models will be available with the Double-Action Kellerman (DAK) trigger and be chambered in .40 S&W. and .357 Sig. Traditional DA/SA triggers, and 9 mm options will be available in the future. The P224 also features a full-size SigLite Night Sight for pinpoint accuracy. There are four models: the Sig Anti-Snag (SAS), Extreme, Nickel and Equinox. (Pictured: Nickel)

Classic Backup
The new Colt .380 Mustang Pocketlite is an improved version of the classic Colt Mustang. This version is small and lightweight with enhanced durability, reliability and accuracy. The Pocketlite has an aluminum alloy receiver and a stainless-steel slide and barrel that are machined from a solid bar stock for precise tolerances. With a loaded magazine (can hold six rounds), this handgun weighs less than 1 lb. It measures 5.5 inches long with a 2.75-inch barrel. The short, single-action trigger, a firing-pin safety block, the secure grip and the classic frame design make this firearm ideal for personal protection.

Segmenting Slug
Winchester Ammunition’s new Ranger 12-gauge Segmenting Slug for law enforcement agencies is a uniquely designed slug that segments into three pieces when fired into bare, light-cloth and heavy-cloth covered ballistic gelatin. The Ranger Segmenting Slug combines all of the advantages of a slug and buckshot, while eliminating the need for two different rounds. This simplifies the shotgun platform, allowing one round to be used for all situations. When fired through hard barriers such as plywood, car doors and drywall, the Segmenting Slug behaves like a traditional slug and maintains integrity. The Ranger Segmenting Slug is available in 12-gauge, 2 3/4-inch shells with a black hull—easily distinguishable from the red hulls of Ranger Buckshot and grey hulls of Ranger Slugs.
