7 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Handgun

As a leading firearm retail store, we understand the importance of finding the right handgun for your needs. That's why we've put together a list of 7 tips to help you make an informed decision.



  1. Determine the purpose: What will you be using the handgun for? Self-defense, target shooting, hunting? Is it a combination of a few purposes? Knowing the purpose will help narrow down your choices.

  2. Set a budget: Decide how much you're willing to spend on the firearm and accessories. This will help you determine the quality and features you can afford. There is something for every budget.

  3. Do your research: Read reviews and compare models to get a better understanding of their capabilities and limitations. Ask friends who own firearms their opinions on why they chose what they use.

  4. Ensure a comfortable fit: Hold several models to determine what feels comfortable in your hand. It's important to choose a gun that fits well to improve accuracy and minimize hand fatigue. If it feels good, you'll be more apt to train with it as well, making you a more proficient shooter!

  5. Consider the caliber: The caliber of a handgun will affect its intended use. Make sure to choose a caliber that is appropriate for your needs and suitable for your intended target.

  6. Look at the magazine capacity: Consider the number of rounds the magazine can hold. A higher capacity may be desirable for self-defense situations. You never know what your Mission Critical Defense situation may require.

  7. Choose a reputable brand: Look for a brand with a good reputation for quality and reliability. This will give you peace of mind knowing that you have a reliable weapon. Glock, Sig Sauer, CZ, H&K, Springfield Armory, and Smith & Wesson are all name brands that are trusted throughout the country by Law Enforcement and Military Professionals. If they trust those names, you bet that you can trust your life on them too.
