Semi-automatic pistols

Semi-automatic short-guns are highly preferred by shooters and beginners can take advantage of their more rounds and concealed carry. The best pistol for personal defense is very personal in the sense that people will always have varied interest on the specifications of the different pistols on offer. Nevertheless, the most popular brands of the semi-autos are the Glock and Beretta.

When resolving all the critical issues favorably, the Glock 19 is a good compromise. It has a size which is easily concealable but big enough to shoot on a 20-25 yard range. Although it has been faulted for lack of an external safety feature, it is relatively safe when the user has undergone requisite training on handling and use. It is highly reliable and easy to clean.

Beretta guns are gas operated and they are all based on the 391 action. They relish the combination of good looks and reliability. They have a cross-bolt safety in front of the trigger which is easier to use than when it is behind the trigger. Some of their models include the Beretta BU9 Nano 9X19 parabellum and the Beretta 3032 Tomcat.

In conclusion, the best handguns for beginner self-defense are the revolvers and the semi-automatic pistols but different gun dealers have various models on offer. Therefore, beginners have countless options on the handgun which will surely secure their safety. No matter the arm selected, it is important to get proper training and practice on proper handling of the firearm and proper handling and maintenance.
