TriStar Arms APOC

TriStar Arms recently unveiled its new APOC 9mm pistol, an affordable striker-fired, polymer-frame semi-automatic pistol suitable for carry and personal protection with an MSRP of $359. The APOC has a 15-round magazine and a 4-inch barrel. The form factor of the pistol closely resembles the classic third generation Glock G19, right down to the APOC’s grip angle.

The APOC can be had in a variety of finishes: black, sniper grey, flat dark earth or olive drag green frame, all with black slides. Part of keeping costs down and affordable also means that the TriStar Arms APOC isn’t cut for optics. Instead, these pistols rely on simple and proven fiber-optic sights.

“Shooter feedback drove every decision on the APOC,” said Ryan Bader, President of TriStar Arms. “We set out to build a pistol that feels right in the hand, runs reliably, and is affordable for everyday use. What that means for pistol owners is simple: more time on the trigger, less time worrying about cost.”
