Here's a look at the EAA K2 today on the NRA Annual Meetings floor in Pittsburgh.

Built by Sarsilmaz for the Turkish military, the EAA K2 is a solid duty pistol with a steel frame and easy-to-shoot ergonomics. This handgun has an easy-to-handle $449 MSRP, especially considering the K2 comes with adjustable sights and an accessory rail. The pistol is available in 9 mm, .40 S&W, 10 mm and .45 ACP. It has an overall length of 8.25 inches with a 4.5-inch barrel and weighs 40 ounces. Width in all chamberings is 1 1/3 inches and height 5 3/4 inches.

With an elongated trigger guard with serrations and fore and aft frame serrations, it felt great today as we got a chance to handle it. Stay tuned for when we finally get to run the gun through full testing.
