#Inexpensive

I know that I am not going to make any friends by writing this, but that never stopped me before, so why not? Here goes: Pistol caliber carbines don’t make a whole lot of sense for the American rifle buyer, or at least not most of the offerings on the market right now.

Well I just heard the news today, Walther has introduced a new low budget 9mm handgun called the “Creed”. The pistol appears to be essentially a rebadged PPX with a new name and revamped external contours to match the company’s PPQ and CCP pistols. The Shooting Wire reports on the reworked handgun:

For those who own .380 cal Hi Point pistols, Hi Point has introduced a model of their Carbine as a companion piece. From the press release:

Stealth Engineering Group occupies a small booth on the first floor of the Sands expo center, but their display case is packed with products and engineering ideas. SEG makes suppressors, and advertise a lighter, more accurate, lower cost, and more customizable product than their competitors. CEO Rob Morrison also designs their products, and is a major “suppressor guy”, able to talk at length about the subject in general. Speaking to him definitely made me wish I knew more about the subject.

In the spirit of giving, Gun News’ Darryl Blonski has endeavored to make the cheapest possible AR-15 lower receiver that money can buy (so that there is all the more left over for gifts for his family). What do the fruits of this exercise in inexpense look like?
