The Walther PPK/S in .32 ACP: The Bond Choice
The Walther PPK/S in .32 ACP is my favorite of the Walther PPK series. The grip is just right, the recoil is almost nothing, and I can carry up to nine rounds. By modern standards, nine rounds of .32 ACP isn't much. The P365 is about the same size and offers ten rounds of 9mm. Still, polymer-frame, ultra-efficient modern handguns will never be as stylish as the PPK/S in .32 ACP.
Bear Creek Arsenal BC-201: Target Ready Rimfire on a Budget
Bear Creek Arsenal went in boldly to revive a semi-auto .17 and .22 Magnum. My take on the Bear Creek Arsenal BC 201 is not a referendum on those designs. It is Bear Creek's take on playing it safe with a base platform that is proven to be reliable and familiar to many shooters but aesthetically upgraded and accurized at a price point not much beyond what one would pay for a stock rifle. Whether you are a dedicated paper puncher or small game hunter, the BCA 201 is an option worth a look.
The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0: The Ultimate Carry Gun
The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 completely redeems my opinion of the Bodyguard .380 lineup. It's a very capable little gun that performs admirably. I'm utterly shocked, to be honest. I'm seriously considering replacing my current pocket gun with the Bodyguard. It's a bit of poetic justice that I'm strapping a Bodyguard .380 on when it was the gun that initially deterred me from pocket carry.

The High Standard Model 10: A 1970s Bullpup Shotgun
Shotguns excel at close range, and bullpups excel at close range. It's just tough to find someone who's done it right. So far, the KelTec KS7 has won, but a competent semi-auto would be preferred. Sadly, it wasn't the Model 10.

Kimber Pro Carry II in .45 ACP: A Good CCW Option?
While many modern handguns have made great advancements in terms of weight, ammo capacity, and concealability, Browning's iconic 1911 design still provides a great option for self-defense. The Kimber Pro Carry II is no exception.
