Handguns Descriptions
FN Barracuda
The Barracuda was FN's first and only venture into manufacturing revolvers. FN manufactured the Barracuda from 1974-1989. Most of the Barracuda's were made in the 1970's. It was a solid frame, double action revolver with a swing out cylinder and fixed sights. A sturdy if unspectacular revolver. It was only manufactured with a three inch barrel. A 9mm Parabellum cylinder was also manufactured for the Barracuda. The 9mm rounds required a full moon or half-moon clip in order to load in the 9mm cylinder. The Barracuda saw some use by by police and private security, but it appeared just as the semi-automatic handgun was beginning to take over the police market. Consequently it wasn't the success that FN had hoped for. Every so often used specimens are found for sale in the United States for very reasonable prices. More often than not the .357 magnum cylinder is installed and the 9mm cylinder is nowhere to be found.
Glock 21
Remarkable for its accuracy and light recoil, the GLOCK 21SF delivers the legendary stopping power of the .45 AUTO round with 10/13 round magazine capacity. Countless law enforcement units swear by the G21SF pistol, and that's why this powerful, lightweight, all climate workhorse is standard issue from the North to South Poles. The SF model reduces the circumference of the receiver at the rear, or "back strap," offering increased comfort and controlespecially for shooters with smaller hands.
