John Lloyd had just dropped his mother off at work on a night in December 2020 when he noticed the flashing lights behind him.

Traveling through Detroit�s New Center on West Grand Boulevard, he was pulled over by police for a traffic infraction.

�I let them know that I was armed,� Lloyd said, who at the time was working as an armed security guard. �They checked out the information and told me my (concealed pistol license) was expired.�

Lloyd had moved back to Michigan from Georgia and his concealed pistol license, or CPL, had expired three months earlier. Like many, he said trying to renew his CPL through the Wayne County Clerk wasn�t easy after the pandemic shut the office down.

Subcompact pistols are what�s hot. Those are the guns consumers are asking for, and they�re the guns manufacturers are building. The reason should be obvious: the smaller a pistol is, the easier it is to conceal. (The smaller a pistol is, the harder it is to shoot, but that seems to be of little concern to most people these days.)

Based on the legendary old IWI Galil AR/ARM-- and including most of the surplus parts of one-- the ATI Galeo uses that rifle's reliable long-stroke gas piston system. Looking and feeling very AK, the gun looks and feels like a Kalashnikov but is a bit heavier, with a milled 4140 CDA steel receiver and stamped steel top cover.

Along about 1950, Colt debuted the first American-made pistol in 9mm Luger.

Colt figured the 1911 could be so chambered and lightened to boot. The result was the Commander, with a 4.25″ instead of a 5″ barrel, and another first: a lightweight aluminum frame.

The Benelli ETHOS Cordoba BE.S.T. was designed for hunters that are hard on shotguns and like to shoot a lot. Benelli built the Cordoba�named after the region of Argentina known for its high-volume dove shooting�to accommodate hunters who enjoy clay-shooting disciplines and aspire to hunt birds abroad one day. To do that, Benelli was very detail-oriented in the construction of this gun, which was previously known simply as the �Cordoba� before the Italians discontinued it for a short time and brought it back in the current ETHOS model.
