New for 2022, Savage Arms introduces their competitor to the Kel Tec PF9, Ruger LC9s, and the Glock 43.

This single-column 9mm pistol has an MSRP of $479 to $561 depending on model and options. Round-count at 7, 8, or 10 depending on flush-fit, extendomag or +1 baseplates.

You need a pic:



Here's their official link on the website:

Just my opinion here, but I think that this is hitting the market 7 years too late. They should have popped this no later than the Glock 43. Now that the market is dominated by double-stack guns in the same size, holding 10+ rounds I think that this gun, no matter how well designed, is going to languish in obscurity. Maybe if they'd been able to ship in 2020, during the COVID buying panic, they would have been able to make back R&D, but this is WAY too late to the market. Maybe they've got a double-stack waiting in the wings to announce at SHOT or something. Otherwise Savage has just screwed the pooch with this. ...which makes me sad.

Peace favor your sword,
Kirk

Kirk, I agree, most people are looking for more capacity, even if it is a single stack. Hellcat is the only one out of the bunch that isn't an X or XL for additional capacity. It's just amazing how they got that many rounds in a single stack. The next would be the X and XL options, aka Glock 43 and Sig P365. So now the Glock 43XL is a glorified G19 just thinner...

All the others are 6/7/8 +1 capacity.

Lets see we have(not a complete list but most popular):
1. Sig P365/X/XL/SAS etc...
2. Glock 43/X/XL
3. Springfield Hellcat
4. Ruger LC9
5. Kel Tec PF9
6. Walther CCP
7. S&W M&P Shield
8. Springfield XD-S
9. Kahr PM9
10. Mossberg MC1
11. Savage Stance

So the Savage offers a 10 round (extended base) mag, it may move them up the list if it adds capacity without really adding a ton of length to the grip.

I like the looks and wouldn't mind taking it for a test drive though. There will always be a spot for single stacks, but the market has s ton of options out there, but then again double stack wise there are even MORE options, so maybe we are reading this wrong and it will be a strong contender.
