Handguns Descriptions

Colt Prototype Colt Revolver

In 1859, Samuel Colt delivered his last order of M1847 Dragoon pistols to the Army. These heavy pistols were built of hammered steel, a low carbon steel that was comparably weak to modern gun steel. In order to manage the pressures created by the .44 caliber bullets fired from the Army pistols, the engineers at Colt had originally designed the Dragoon pistol with a very thick barrel and even thicker cylinder. This made the pistols safe to fire, but it also made them extremely heavy. This weight problem was exacerbated by the fact the Army had also began experimenting with Colt's Navy revolver, a pistol that was nearly half the size and weight as the Dragoon due to the fact that it fired a low pressure .36 caliber bullet.

Glock 22 Gen 4

The GLOCK 22 Gen4, in .40, introduces revolutionary design changes to this model of perfection that the majority of law enforcement across the country put their trust in every day. The Modular Back Strap design of the G22 Gen4 lets you instantly customize its grip to adapt to an individual shooter's hand size. The surface of the frame employs the new scientifically designed, real-world-tested, Gen4 rough textured technology. Internally, the new GLOCK dual recoil spring assembly substantially increases the life of the system. A reversible enlarged magazine catch, changeable in seconds, accommodates left or right-handed operators. The G22 Gen4 .40 caliber retains the GLOCK accessory rail for your attachments.
