Combat Handguns Nov/Dec 2023: EDC Concealed Carry

As sizzling summer ’23 winds down, CH content creators are putting on the afterburners. We are covering the gamut of firepower for everyday concealed carry, LE duty, sporting purposes, and everything in between. And we put it all in the Nov/Dec 2023 issue of Combat Handguns.

Concealed Carry and More in the Nov/Dec 2023 issue of Combat Handguns

Headlining the issue is a pair of winners from two of America’s most trusted and relied-upon makers. First is Springfield Armory, with its just-released Echelon series 9mm duty pistol. Garrett Lucas and his evaluation team ran the “modular to the max” handgun and experienced upper-echelon results.

Next, FN America clearly has no plans of being left out of the micro-compact, EDC market mania. Welcome to the Great Reflex! Comfort, reliability, 15+1 capacity, red-dot ready, and a sub-$700 price point. What’s not to love? Be sure to watch the companion video by targeting the QR code at the end of the story.

You can call us a lot of things, but you can’t call us shy on revolver content in the pages ahead. Gary Paul Johnston’s “Guns With A Past” kicks things off with an oldy but goodie. Get a refresher on the Medusa sixshooter that can shoot nearly every 9mm and .38-caliber cartridge in the world.

Our wheelhouse fills up even more with a special “Tale Of The Tape” between a classic S&W and Kimber’s newest K6xs. Speaking of living in excess, check out Frank Melloni’s review of Korth’s new 8-shot NXS. If ever there was a bucket-list gun, this one’s it!
