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 […]
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. 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 […]
Smith and Wesson 629
(31 votes, average: 3.61 out of 5)Loading...The Smith & Wesson model 629 .44 Magnum is the large “N-frame” revolver from S&W and the newer version of their older model 29. The 29 was made famous by the Clint Eastwood character, detective “Dirty” Harry Callahan in films back in the 70s and 80s. That gun in those movies spawned 2 very famous […]
HK P30
(193 votes, average: 3.60 out of 5)Loading...The Heckler & Koch P30-series of pistols was developed by HK as an evolution of the company’s Universal Self-loading Pistol (USP) and its later P2000.

Chiappa Rhino
(10 votes, average: 3.60 out of 5)Loading...This unique gun has created quite a stir among handgun enthusiasts. Some hate it, some love it. Put me in the latter category. The main attribute of the Italian-made Chiappa Rhino that has polarized everyone is that the barrel is aligned with the bottom cylinder chamber. (See the 2nd photo.) This was done to reduce […]
Jericho 941
(100 votes, average: 3.59 out of 5)Loading...The Jericho 941 is also known as the Baby Desert Eagle, and even occasionally marketed as the Uzi Eagle. If you can’t tell yet, this weapon comes from Israel. The Jericho was the original name, and in many opinions, the least foolish sounding. The Jericho is really the forgotten modern handgun when compared to the […]
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. The gun fit my hand perfectly with the standard grip size. The standard .22 magazine holds 10 rounds. I would classify this gun as compact. This gun is a very good size for concealed carry, although […]
Springfield Armory XD (Xtreme Defense)
(109 votes, average: 3.57 out of 5)Loading...Springfield Armory’s XD series of pistols is based on the polymer framed, striker fired Croatian HS2000 (Hrvatski Samokres). Unlike most modern polymer pistols, the XD incorporates a grip safety similar to that found on the M1911. Another unique component is the full length guide rod. According to the Croatian designers, this mechanism was intended as […]
