Cheapest Pistol I Have Seen!

This review covers the upcoming PSA Sabre-11 P, a 9mm pistol featuring a Wilson Combat barrel and trigger system. The 'P' denotes ported barrels, with a ported version to be released after the initial unported model. The pistol boasts an FDE finish, ambidextrous safety, and is optic-ready with multiple plate options. Instructor notes the excellent trigger feel and reset.

This review of the PSA Gen4 GX 9mm AR-15 pistol highlights its potential as a budget-friendly Personal Defense Weapon (PDW). The firearm shares many AR-15 controls and accepts readily available Glock magazines, offering a familiar platform for AR users. While praised for its compact nature and solid build quality, potential drawbacks include the lack of a last-round bolt hold-open and limited hand space on shorter barrel configurations.

This review of the Palmetto State Armory Dagger, presented by John Lovell of Warrior Poet Society, offers an honest assessment of this budget-friendly 9mm pistol. Lovell highlights its value proposition, noting its purchase price around $300. Key features include a threaded barrel, OD green finish, optic-readiness, and suppressor-height sights. The trigger is compared to a stock Glock, deemed 'okay' for the price. Ergonomics are discussed, with emphasis on the frame's balanced texture and magazine cutouts. A significant advantage is its compatibility with Glock magazines, though it notably does not fit standard Glock holsters.

Roger Barrera of QVO Tactical provides an expert overview of the Palmetto State Armory Sabre 11P at SHOT Show 2026. This double-stack 1911/2011 platform features a ported barrel for reduced recoil, an Icarus Precision aluminum grip, and a highly-regarded trigger with a sub-3-pound break. The optic-ready slide is designed with rear-mounted iron sights to accommodate larger red dot sights like the Trijicon SRO or RMR HD.

This review addresses concerns about Palmetto State Armory (PSA) firearms, particularly the Dagger pistol, by examining real-world performance and the company's business model. Despite some past issues with reliability and ammunition, PSA's focus on high volume, low margins, and strong customer support aims to provide affordable, trustworthy options for self-defense and tactical use. The host's personal experience with the Dagger and an AR-15 shows no malfunctions, suggesting PSA is a viable budget-friendly choice.

This video provides an in-depth look at the upcoming SABRE-11, a double-stack 9mm 1911 from Palmetto State Armory, showcased at Shot Show 2026.

The PSA Representative highlights its industrialization phase and planned Q1 launch.

This comedic skit humorously emphasizes the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It illustrates a handgun malfunction, specifically a stovepipe, and uses a visual gag with a spent casing to drive home the safety message. The creator showcases tactical gear and a Sig Sauer P365 XL, demonstrating firearm handling in a range environment.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, against a tree. Surprisingly, even the powerful .50 BMG round failed to penetrate the tree completely, demonstrating the significant stopping power of natural barriers against firearms.

This video explores the hypothetical concept of using a human body as a suppressor, simulating the scenario with ballistic gel. A Derya Arms .22 rifle is fired into a ballistic gel head, with the host noting the shot sounded 'dead silent'. The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head.

This test evaluates the ballistic protection of a Belgian M1 steel helmet against various calibers. While it stopped birdshot, .22, and .380 Auto rounds, it failed to defeat 9mm and .223 Remington rounds, indicating it is not suitable for protection against common handgun or rifle threats.
