The Cimarron 1887 Terminator is a fun gun for me. It's an experience your typical pump gun doesn't deliver. Cimarron has made owning an 1887 affordable and provided a reliable, fun-to-shoot shotgun.
The Swampfox Warhorse LPVO: The Best Beginner LPVO
The Swampfox Warhorse, Justice, and Hostile Engagement setup delivers an excellent LPVO setup. It's a bit hefty at two pounds altogether, but very capable. If you're like me and are curious about LPVOs, it's a great way to dip your toe into the world. You're getting a high-quality setup that won't completely drain your wallet.

Want a threaded barrel and/or integral compensator but only have $550 to spend? They’ve got you covered. Their TP9 and Mete series pistols, primarily striker-fired guns in 9mm chambering, have exploded in popularity. But it’s one of their earlier models that makes my day: the TP9 SF.

If I were restricted to using a Gen 3 Glock 19, would I feel disadvantaged? Not at all. While there might be more accurate pistols out there, the Glock's attributes, taken as a whole, make it a superior pistol.
