NIGHTHAWK T3 COMP .45 ACP

摘要

The history of concealed carry is the history of the "little big gun"—the downsized handgun that's small enough to be carried easily, yet still potent enough to actually stop a fight. From the short-barreled Shopkeeper's Model of the Single Action Army .45 to more modern offerings like the Glock 36, there's a unspoken understanding that big guns don't get carried and little guns don't stop fights. The first hurdle is making a large caliber pistol that actually works when downsized, but that's generally been overcome—there are plenty of little M1911's on the market that lob .45 bullets with greater reliability than we have any right to expect. Since the butt of the gun is the hard part to hide, perhaps the best of them are those that combine a short grip with a medium-sized barrel and slide.
