It may surprise some to learn that Savage Arms once occupied the concealed carry pistol category. It has been more than 100 years since Savage Arms stopped making pistols and shifted their focus to rifles. Savage Arms has made a return to their original “complete firearms company” commitment since the sale of the Stance Micro-Compact 9mm in 2019. As its return CCW, Savage Arms releases Stance Micro-Compact 9mm.

The Stance is built on a serialized chassis and allows for a variety grip frames in three colors. You can remove the chassis to switch between gray, black, or FDE (Flat Dark Earth) grip frames. You can also switch the grip frame easily using the takedown lever without the need to use a trigger pull or other tools.
For no-slip retention, the nylon grip frame is also made of glass-filled nylon. It has 360-degree stippling to ensure maximum grip. The interchangeable backstraps with natural 18degangle are also available to ensure that each shooter is satisfied. Both right-handed and left-handed shooters will enjoy the ambidextrous magazine release, slide catch, and slide catch.
A slide made of stainless-steel with melonite finishes for corrosion resistance is mounted atop the grip frame. The slide’s front beveling makes it easier to holster, and the rear serrations make it easy to manipulate. The 3.2-inch stainless-steel barrel is chambered for 9mm and is ideal for conceal carry and self-defense.
The trigger is short and crisp with a short reset. It also has a wide, well-rounded face that sends rounds downrange to the single-stack magazines of 7, 8 or 10. The Stance’s focus is self-defense. It comes with standard or night sights that are snag-free, as well as a version equipped with Viridian E Series Red Laser. The Stance can be ordered with or without ambidextrous safety.

Jessica Treglia, Sr. said that “Stance is another significant milestone for Savage.” Savage Arms’ Brand Manager added. “While this is not Savage’s first concealed-carry pistol, and certainly our first handgun, it’s more than a century ago that we focused on compact pistols designed for everyday carry. Stance is the first of a new series handguns that will meet our customers’ reliability and accuracy standards. This is a further demonstration that Savage is committed to making the best, most complete range of American-made firearms.
The Savage Arms Stance Microcompact 9mm is now available. MSRP: $479.00 – $561.00 depending on your options. SavageArms.com has more information.
