What do American shooters and self-defenders want? How about a compact 9mm pistol that offers accuracy and reliability at a very affordable price? That about fits the bill with TriStar Arms' all-new APOC line of pistols, which are listed with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $359. It's very common for dealers to offer discounts from the MSRP, and at the time of this writing, several dealers were offering the APOC at well under $300.

That remarkable price may be the headline, but don't miss the story. The APOC's compact size makes it easy to conceal, while its excellent ergonomics make it easy to control, too. It's loaded with modern features like fiber-optic sights, an accessory rail, and included 15-round magazines, so shooters have everything they need to run the gun right out of the box.

“Shooter feedback drove every decision on the APOC,” said Ryan Bader, President of TriStar Arms. “We set out to build a pistol that feels right in the hand, runs reliably, and is affordable for everyday use. What that means for pistol owners is simple: more time on the trigger, less time worrying about cost.”

The APOC is offered in black, sniper gray, flat dark earth, and olive-drab green with black. Weighing in at 25 oz. unloaded, it has a 4" barrel on its compact, balanced frame. It boasts dual slide serrations for ease of racking, as well as an optional magwell attachment. For more, or to find a dealer, visit TriStarArms.com
