Pistols

Pistols are small, lightweight firearms designed to be portable and easy to use. They are typically held in one hand and use a variety of mechanisms to load, fire, and eject rounds. Pistols come in many forms, including revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, and single-shot pistols.

Pistols are often used for self-defense, hunting, and target shooting. They are typically smaller and less powerful than rifles but are still capable of causing significant damage. Pistols are often carried by military personnel, law enforcement officers, and civilians and are essential to many individuals’ personal protection.

Pistols are typically made of metal and polymer materials and come in various sizes and calibers. They use a variety of different ammunition, including rimfire and centerfire cartridges. Some popular pistol brands include Glock, Smith & Wesson, and Beretta.
