SIG SAUER Launches P385 Minutes ago SIG SAUER officially launched the P385, a new pistol architecture that combines elements of the P320 and P365. Hence the moniker: P320 +P365 = P385. Over the past few weeks there has been a great deal of conjecture online regarding this new pistol due to a couple of leaks. I first heard about development of new pistol over a year ago and handled prototypes during SHOT Show of what was by then, called the P385. Development has been going on for even longer. To be very clear, the P320 isn’t going anywhere. It remains…

Forward Controls Design has released the first models in its OPF-G6 family of heavy-duty optic plates for Glock Gen 6 pistols equipped with the Optic Ready System (ORS). FCD was not first to market with Gen 6 optic plates, but that was never the objective. Additional development time was spent refining the interface, material selection, tolerances, and installation rather than compromising the design for an earlier release. Glock’s Gen 6 optic system is a significant departure from the previous MOS system. Instead of a conventional flat mounting surface, ORS uses an insert that interfaces with an hourglass-shaped pocket machined into…
