savage stance 9mm. msrp: $479-$561

Available in various configurations and colors, the new Savage Stance looks promising and provides shooters with another mico-compact 9MM option for EDC. Personally I quite like the features on this new dedicated pistol from Savage (their first foray into the handgun market in almost 100 years) and my guess is the company learned a lot via the plethora of offerings from virtually every other manufacturer. We'll be keeping an eye on Youtube for in-depth reviews on how the Stance holds up against all the others. Meantime this from the Savage WEBSITE:

Introducing Stance, the first in an all-new line of handguns from Savage. Built to deliver the kind of modern performance and American strength Savage is renowned for. Stance refines the micro-nine into a thin, easily concealable pistol built to be both functional in the hand as it is easy to conceal. With its defined surface textures, advanced slide serrations and ergonomic grip, Stance is designed to be comfortable when holstered and formidable when it needs to be. There's a new option for everyday carry. Stance is Savage.
