Handguns

Arguably, the most important feature of a firearm is to be reliable. We want a firearm that will work as soon as you press the trigger and keep working as you continue to press the trigger.

Concealed carry guns have changed a lot over the years. We’ve gone from subcompacts to pocket pistols and single stack nines. Nowadays, the micro compact is in, and today, we are going to look at the top five currently on the market.

The Model 66-8 Combat Magnum lives up to the K-frame’s reputation. In my opinion, a .357 magnum is a good choice for self-defense, and I’d prefer to carry the .357 Magnum in a revolver like the S&W Model 66 Combat Magnum.
