Exceeding initial expectations, the gun weighs in at 17 ounces, and measures only 5&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Kimber Solo is a pocket-size pistol intended for personal defense,\u201d says author Dave Anderson. \u201cIn testing, it proved to be completely reliable and amazingly accurate. Comparable in size to a compact .380 blowback \u2014 yet it\u2019s a locked breech 9mm!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With so many 1911s on the market, something needs to be special about the gun to make it a worthy addition to your collection. In \u201cLes Baer Centennial Model 1911,\u201d Mark Hanten tells readers why Les Baer\u2019s new 1911 is \u201ca truly fine 1911 by any measure.\u201d From the Centennial Model 1911\u2019s remarkable accuracy and dependability, to just being darn pretty, Hanten liked it so much he bought the test gun.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Boyle talks about using shotguns as modern-day defensive stoppers in \u201cCombat Shotguns in the 21st Century.\u201d While handguns may be convenient because they can be carried discreetly, shotguns provide both a psychological deterrent, as well as more stopping power in a defensive situation. Boyle examines the possible shortcomings of shotguns \u2014 and how to overcome them.<\/p>\n<p>The Tactical Special Edition features the 2012 Buyer\u2019s Guide, including over 90 pages of handguns, rifles, shotguns, knives, lights and more.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the American Handgunner Tactical Special Edition, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanhandgunner.com\/tactical\" target=\"_blank\">www.americanhandgunner.com\/tactical<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Diego, Calif. \u2014 The 2012 American Handgunner Tactical Special Edition explores a variety of cutting-edge tactical firearms and accessories, including the Kimber Solo, Les Baer Centennial 1911 and more.
