However, more recently, the company decided to offer a different take on the popular micro-compact nine concept that proliferates in today’s handgun …

After languishing for decades as a cartridge for which ammunition and firearm options were limited, the 5.7 x 28 mm has experienced a wave of popularity. Now, no fewer than eight manufacturers are offering handguns and rifles chambered in the cartridge, and ammunition choices are available from Federal, Fiocchi, FN and Speer. The trend …

Military Armament Corporation describes itself as a “retro-tactical” brand, and when it comes to the company’s brand-new JSOC 1911 handgun, that description could not be more apt.
