The first thing you notice about the Taurus Judge is the size. This revolver looks like a solid hunk of steel, and it pretty much is. This weapon was clearly not designed to be concealed. Picking the weapon up you can definitely feel some heft, but you also feel a very comfortable ribbed rubber grip. […]

Glock 22
(367 votes, average: 3.65 out of 5)
Loading...The Glock pistol took the shooting world by storm when it rolled out in 1982. Its polymer frame was a radical idea at the time and lead to misconceptions that the pistol could be smuggled through an airport metal detector (a ridiculous notion as the slide assembly contains over 1 pound of steel). However, the […]
Sig Sauer P232
(142 votes, average: 3.65 out of 5)Loading...The most beautiful handgun ever? Ok, I know this pistol is modeled after the Walther PP… but I’d venture to say Sig Sauer did it one better. This gun is gorgeous, especially in all stainless. And yes, it’s only a .380, but man does it feel good in the hand (especially with the Hogue grips […]

From the factory, it comes in a hard gun case with 2 magazines: 1 regular and 1 extended 2-stack magazine. The regular magazine holds 9 rounds while the extended holds 16 rounds.

North American Arms Mini Revolver
(45 votes, average: 3.62 out of 5)Loading...The North American Arms (NAA) Mini Revolver is a small revolver constructed entirely from stainless steel. These small revolvers are reminiscent of the spur trigger single action revolvers of the mid-19th century. As a single action revolver, the hammer must be manually cocked each time for the pistol to fire each of the 5 rounds […]
