I own a few handguns. Okay, maybe more than a few. Each has its own pluses, minuses and personality. And each one fills a need, even if that need is just to have fun. Well, I have a fun firearm for you today folks… the Draco NAK9. Built in Romania and chambered in 9mm, this […]
Smith & Wesson J-Frame Revolver
(93 votes, average: 3.68 out of 5)
Loading...Smith & Wesson is one of the oldest manufacturers of firearms in the United States. They were the first firearms company in the US to secure a patent on the cartridge revolver.

Glock 22
(380 votes, average: 3.66 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 […]
CZ-75
(295 votes, average: 3.65 out of 5)Loading...The CZ-75 is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol made by Česká Zbrojovk (CZ) in the Czech Republic. CZ is known for very good quality at reasonable prices.

(94 votes, average: 3.63 out of 5)Loading...The Springfield XD-9 Sub-Compact is a 9mm polymer handgun. 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. Many would consider this handgun a “hybrid.” That is, it has some of the best features of […]
Beretta M92
(123 votes, average: 3.62 out of 5)Loading...In the late 1970s, the US Military evaluated various pistols chambered in 9mm Parabellum to replace the venerable M1911A1 which was chambered in 45 ACP in order to comply with the NATO standard for handgun caliber to increase capacity from the M1911A1’s 7-rounds. By 1986 the US Military decided on the Beretta M92 and designated […]
