Possibly the best overall concealed carry weapon? This is one sweet little semi-auto pistol. And the operative word here is “little”. (Or is it “sweet”??)

(90 votes, average: 3.50 out of 5)

Chiappa Rhino

Smith and Wesson 1899
(6 votes, average: 3.17 out of 5)Loading...This gun is the classic K-frame revolver… mostly because it’s the first K-frame revolver. The 1899 was also essentially the first Military and Police revolver. Our troops carried this as one of the last revolvers issued to them. It was the gun that made the 38 special the round it is today. This particular example […]
