Handguns Descriptions

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.

Ruger American Pistol 8605

With a design based on feedback from law enforcement, military trainers, firearms experts, and retailers, this Ruger American is a full-sized semi-automatic handgun featuring a revolutionary platform along with a recoil-reducing barrel cam, low mass slide, low center of gravity, and a low bore axis. Chambered in 9mm, the chassis and slide of this pistol are machined from black-nitride stainless steel and include functional slide serrations and purpose-oriented grip frame texturing for better control. Safety features include an internal, automatic sear block system, and an integrated trigger safety. Plus, the inspection port provides visual confirmation of a loaded or empty chamber, while the tool-free disassembly and reassembly make for easy maintenance of the American.
