Our selection may include 9mm handguns, 10mm handguns, rimfire pistols, revolvers, and Glock handguns in a range of sizes and configurations. Availability and legal purchasing requirements depend on your location, so review each product listing and confirm state and local restrictions before ordering.

Choosing the Right Handgun

The best handgun is one that fits your intended use, hand size, experience level, and local requirements. Full-size handguns generally provide a longer sight radius, greater capacity, and more surface area to grip. Compact and subcompact models are easier to conceal but may produce more felt recoil and provide less grip space.

A 9mm concealed handgun is a common option because 9mm ammunition is widely available and the caliber offers manageable recoil in many platforms. However, caliber should not be the only consideration. Trigger system, grip shape, control placement, weight, capacity, and access to compatible handgun holsters should also influence your decision.

Striker-fired pistols commonly provide a consistent trigger operation from shot to shot. Hammer-fired designs may use single-action, double-action, or combined operating systems. Revolvers use a rotating cylinder instead of a detachable magazine and offer a different loading and operating process.

California-Compliant Handguns

Products marked CA Compliant are identified as configurations intended to meet applicable California sales requirements. California buyers should verify that the exact model and configuration are eligible for dealer sale before purchasing because roster status and other requirements may change. Dirty Bird maintains a separate California-compliant collection and identifies qualifying models in its product listings.

Browse Dirty Bird USA to compare concealed-carry handguns, full-size pistols, revolvers, and CA-legal models from leading manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Handguns

Choosing a handgun involves more than comparing caliber and price. These questions address the most important differences in size, operation, accessories, compliance, and maintenance.

What is the difference between a semi-automatic pistol and a revolver?

A semi-automatic pistol feeds ammunition from a detachable magazine and uses energy from the fired cartridge to cycle the action. A revolver stores cartridges in a rotating cylinder and advances the cylinder as the action is operated.

Should I choose a compact, subcompact, or full-size handgun?

Choose according to your intended use. Full-size handguns are often easier to control and may offer greater capacity, while compact and subcompact models are generally easier to conceal and carry.

What caliber is a good starting point for a new handgun owner?

Many new owners begin with .22 LR or 9mm because both are widely available and can offer manageable recoil, depending on the firearm. The best choice depends on comfort, intended use, ammunition cost, and the handgun’s size and weight.

What is the difference between striker-fired and hammer-fired handguns?

A striker-fired handgun uses an internal spring-loaded striker to ignite the cartridge. A hammer-fired handgun uses an external or internal hammer that strikes the firing pin. Trigger operation and available safety features vary by model.

What does the “CA Compliant” tag mean?

The tag identifies a model or configuration presented as eligible for sale under applicable California requirements. Buyers should still verify the exact SKU, roster status, magazine configuration, and current transfer rules before ordering.

Does a new handgun include a case, extra magazines, or a manual?

Included accessories vary by manufacturer and model. Review the product description to confirm the number of magazines, case type, manual, locks, optic plates, and other included items.

What accessories should I buy with a new handgun?

Common additions include a secure handgun safe or lockbox, compatible magazines, eye and ear protection, cleaning supplies, ammunition, and a properly fitted holster when appropriate.

Are there state-specific handgun purchasing rules?

Yes. State and local laws may add waiting periods, permits, approved-model restrictions, magazine limits, safety requirements, or other conditions beyond the federal background check. Confirm current requirements with your receiving FFL before ordering.

How often should a new handgun be cleaned?

Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. Cleaning frequency depends on round count, ammunition, environmental exposure, carry use, and storage conditions. Inspect the firearm regularly and clean it before excessive fouling or corrosion develops.
