Sig Sauer P232
(148 votes, average: 3.61 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.

Walther P22
(122 votes, average: 3.58 out of 5)Loading...The Walther P22 is a .22 caliber polymer semi-automatic handgun. The factory box contains the gun, 1 magazine and different grip sizes.
