The 40 cal round (.40 S&W) round is an absolutely fantastic round. It is a great balance between the power of the .45 ACP and the size of the 9mm. The .40 is a decently wide and heavy round, so it has very good stopping power, while still being able to be double stacked in a magazine for maximum capacity when you really need it. But what gun manufacturer makes the Best 40 Cal Handgun? Some of the favorites are the Glock pistols, Springfield XDm’s, Walther P99 and the Smith and Wesson M&P’s. But what one can claim the top…

Handguns for Women are becoming more and more of a normal thing in today’s culture. There are a lot of messed up people out there, so sexual assaults, rapes and violent crimes are still a real threat to women everywhere. You never know what is going to happen. But what is the ‘Best Gun for Women’ to carry with them to protect themselves? A gun for women is a completely different thing than one for men, mostly because of hand size and strength. It’s much more comfortable for women to shoot a smaller sized gun, with a lighter trigger pull…

Having a gun for home defense is a very important thing to consider, and because this is a site about handguns, we’ll talk about those (even though a pistol grip shotgun would probably be a better choice). Home Invasions for robbery, kidnapping or sexual assault are still a problem in today’s society, and the best way to protect yourself and more importantly your family is to have a gun ready. We wanted to look at the best type of handgun and a specific model in that type that would be the Best Handgun for Home Defense.

Gen 4 Glock 23 Review by Hickok 45

Gun review of the Springfield XDm in 9mm by Nutnfancy. Video Description The XDM improvements are a win. I would prefer the XDM over the XD if I'm buying one. While I don't consider the improvements revolutionary, they are meaningful and help perfect the design. In the XDM you will note: a more streamlined slide profile, "Mega Lock" grip traction, larger magazine capacities (19 rds 9mm, 16 rds .40 SW!), improved slide serrations, frame indentations, match grade barrel, shorter reset and lighter "U.S.A." trigger, Melonite® rust proofing on the blackened slides, extended mag release (but still unobtrusive), outstanding sights (love…

Nutnfancy's 4 Part Review of the Glock 17 Pistol. Absolutely amazing handgun. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

Please catch up on the first article in this series - Best Handgun for Home Security Part 1. We left off part way through describing how your handgun needs to be able to be used in high stress situations. Night Compatible The Best Handgun for Home Security also needs to be one that is easy to use at night. This could mean a few different things, but the most common outlets would be fluorescent/glowing night sights or attached lasers or flashlights. Either one of those are really not that expensive to implement, but could mean the world when going toe-to-toe…

So with this bad economy, decisions need to be made. There's just not as much money going around, so everyone is having to skimp on the important things (buying new guns), to make sure the dumb things get taken care of (food, electricity, mortgage, blah blah blah…). It's a crying shame. But the other day when I was stumbling around some gun websites, salivating over all of the handguns that I couldn't afford, I came across something. It promoted something that I found really interesting. By applying to get a FFL License, you could become a legitimate FFL dealer and…

Choosing the ‘Best Concealed Carry Caliber’ can be a tough decision. It’s a complete compromise between stopping power, and round size and capacity for concealment. If you focus too much on the stopping power (like the .44 mag), then usually the gun you will have to go with a bigger gun with less round capacity. If you lean too much on the round size and capacity (like a 22 long rifle pistol), you will be almost effective as a slingshot against a charging man.

A SIG P290 Review from Nutnfancy at the Shot Show 2011. Awesome gun in my opinion. Nutnfancy really doesn't like the thickness and the weight of the gun, but depending on how you will carry and use it, can be a great option. The gun is very comparable to the Glock 26 in size, caliber and use.

Smith and Wesson 500 Review from Chanderson1. If you look in the gun dictionary, there will be a picture of this gun next to the entry 'hand cannon'. This revolver and associated .500 S&W round is a massively powerful combination that was made to be able to hunt anything in North America. Traditional Smith and Wesson quality and craftsmanship really come through in this gun, and it is a lot of fun to shoot. The revolver comes in barrel lengths ranging from 4 inches to 10.5 inches, so it is a fairly versatile gun. Part 1 Part 2
