New Savage Stance 9mm Micro-Compact Pistol

[Watchman]

Massachusetts-based Savage Arms is a well-known and respected player in the rifle world, but some handgunners may not be intimately familiar with the brand. After all, Savage Arms had not released a new handgun since well before World War II. That changed earlier this year when Savage announced the Stance, a micro-compact, striker-fired, polymer-frame handgun designed with concealed carry and personal defense in mind.

This handgun combines many of the features that consumers have come to expect on a carry gun but with characteristic Savage Arms value. Though Savage Arms isn’t a brand often associated with concealed carry, the company was actually an innovator in the development of compact and conceal- able handguns. The Savage Model 1907, which was a compact and relatively lightweight pistol, was released more than a century ago. More than 100,000 of these handguns were produced and sold. A .45 ACP version of the pistol even appeared during the military trials at the turn of the 20th century that led to the adoption of the Colt 1911. The 1907 even made a cameo appearance in the 2002 Tom Hanks gangster film Road to Perdition. READ FULL ARTICLE HERE
