Cool, Hot, Awesome, Fly, Bitchin, Rad, and the descriptors go on when it comes to firearms that have made the A List of must have firearms.  Choose whichever one you'd like to use, but trust me, they all apply to this month's feature firearm, the CZ EVO S1 9mm carbine. Short, sweet and a dream to shoot, this pistol caliber carbine is light weight, balanced and perfect for your hardcore operator or the girl next door who loves to shoot.

While the CZ may be new to this country, it has been around for a considerable period of time overseas and has been the eastern European equivalent of the UZI. While we had to stretch it a bit here to be a carbine, it still gets major points for being compact. Few rifles qualify as true backpack portable, but the folding stock on the CZ makes it very compact and very portable. I liked how well balanced it felt, though I've to be honest, I'm pretty practical and the nonfunctional, fake suppressor left me wanting to replace it with the real thing. No worries though, two hundred dollars for a tax stamp, 800 dollars or so of can and about a year of waiting for the government red tape and a real silencer will adorn my new baby. - Anna
