The Micro 9 (9mm caliber miniature hand-in-hand gun) market is rolled up like this, and some people jump in, which is not another American firearms company, Savage Arms, launched its own Micro 9 - Savage "Stance" miniature pistol at the time of the 2021-2022 replacement.
Savage "Stand" 9mm miniature pistol
Savage Company is located in Massachusetts, usa, a veteran firearms company, for a long time their mainstream products are a variety of civilian bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, cheap and good, in the U.S. market reputation is very good, but when it comes to pistols, it is rare - Savage Company is not unmade pistols, but that is more than a hundred years ago!
In 1907, 115 years ago, Savage Company had launched a very distinctive Savage M1907 pistol, using a special barrel rotation delay recoil technology (this thing Caiyun will talk about later, very fun), there are .32ACP and .380ACP two calibers, but also used the rare double-row magazine at that time, the two caliber magazine capacities are 10 rounds and 9 rounds, more than most similar products in the same period. The Savage M1907 pistol also flowed into our country before liberation, because the grip has the trademark of the Savage Company - the head of the Indian chieftain, so it is called the "Savage brand" pistol in China.

After the success of the M1907 pistol, Savage enlarged it to a .45 inch, fired a .45ACP pistol cartridge, and competed in the U.S. Standard Pistol Bid, but ultimately lost to the Colt M1911 pistol. Since the bidding failure, Savage has never had a pistol again.

This time may be to see the 9mm portable mini gun market is very hot, Savage company also wants to go in to get a vote, launched this "stand" miniature pistol, so what are the characteristics of this gun? According to Savage's own official website, the "stand" miniature pistol has the following characteristics:
1, 9x19mm caliber, 7, 8 rounds single row stainless steel magazine, flat appearance;
2, 3.2 inch barrel, tube retreat, barrel offset lock, that is, Browning lock;
3. Modular transmitter base, that is, the launch mechanism is mounted on a metal frame, which can be matched with different socket seats;
4, black stainless steel sleeve, sleeve front and back have a large anti-slip twill, front cutout weight reduction;
5. Polymer sleeve seat, color optional;
6, 18 ° inclination of modular grip, can be changed different sizes of grip back plate;
7. Double-sided operation of the empty hanging release lever and magazine release button;
8. Laser pointer can be installed.
The Savage "Stand" miniature pistol is a polymer socket mount, available in a variety of colors, with an optional laser pointer
At first glance, these features look a bit like that, but if you think about it, this Savage "stand" miniature pistol always has a bit of a lackluster taste:
For example, the 9mm caliber, the tube retract, the barrel offset latch, the polymer sleeve seat, if you go back to the 1980s, when the Micro 9 pistol was not yet widely popular, these can still be called "selling points", but today, this is not the standard of the Micro 9? These are all standard things, what is the selling point?

Another example is the modular transmitter base, Sig company in P250, P320, P365 and other pistols have long been used, follow-up and other manufacturers of products have long followed up, to this day is still blowing this thing, is not too out?
There are also single-row magazines, although in the field of Micro 9 pistols there are some users who prefer single-row magazines, thinking that single-row magazine pistols are thinner, more comfortable to carry, and there is no chance to barge for a long time in actual combat, single-row magazine capacity is enough, but under the impact of new products such as Sig P365 and Springfield "Hellcat", double-row magazines have almost become the standard of the cutting-edge Micro 9, and then engaging in single-row magazines is inevitably against the market trend and the suspicion of driving backwards.
In the past one or two years, the more fashionable things such as the Optics Ready, the top of the sleeve reserved optical sight base, Savage "stand" pistol and not, but a laser pointer. Caiyun here is not to say that the red dot mirror is indispensable on the miniature pistol, but that since it is not afraid of rolling, it is necessary to go to the Micro 9 market to fish, to catch up with the fashion, why not do enough to provide more and more in line with the customer's expectations?
As the latest Micro 9, Savage "Stands" but does not reserve a scope mount
So in general, Savage Company's launch of this "position" miniature pistol seems to be very hasty, perhaps it is not a pistol for a long time, the pain points of the current pistol, especially the users of the micro-gun market are not clear, with self-righteous subjective imagination, plus a bunch of ready-made technology, casually made up such a product impatiently to try to get a vote. Although the price of Savage's "stance" miniature pistol is not high, the basic 479 US knife, but such a featureless, lackluster gun wants to roll in the over-rolled Micro 9 market to fish for oil, Caiyun is not very optimistic.
