Handguns

The GunDNA database catalogs 216 handguns across three mechanical families: semi-automatic pistols, revolvers, and break-action handguns. Semi-autos make up the overwhelming majority, reflecting their dominance in modern carry, duty, and competition roles.

Chamberings cluster heavily around 9mm — the most common pistol cartridge in the collection — followed by .45 ACP, .22 LR, and .380 ACP. Revolvers add classic options such as .38 Special and .45 Colt, while break-action handguns cover specialty and hunting cartridges.
