The Top Ten

19mm Beretta
Easy to dismantle. Packs a lot of power. Reliable. Mine has 17 bullets. Good for target practice... JT of Lubbock
Small and easy to store it is quick fast and reliable it can store 20 bullets in 98series
The 9mm Beretta is more accurate than larger caliber handguns, and fits more ammunition in the magazine, therefore making it a more deadly weapon if used correctly

2Desert Eagle
So powerful
Its a one shot one kill
Turns the taliban into the losers
Hardly jams
The desert eagle is 50 caliber! This will blow a hole in your head. The army uses this handgun as a special side-arm when they run out of bullets for their primary weapon.

my111

This gun is just the best it is powerful 1 shot light reliyabil and so easy to get the hang of using it is just simpely the best

3Ruger SP101

All of these guns are probably good guns, but there isn't "one" best gun. A gun that works for me and fits my hand, may not work for you. It's all about how the gun feels in your hand and how comfortable you are shooting it.

I don't know which is the best gun, but I do know, there is no such thing as a bad gun.

4Spec Ops 45. Calibre Pistol

5Heckler & Koch Mark 23
Even more accurate than the m9 (hence used by the special forces) and has good stopping power... Should've been rank 1 or 2
Heyy this gun should be thes best, chambered in 45 acp the mk 23 is a trust worthy side arm, as mentioned it is used widley among special operation units due to its accuracy, wieght, stooping power and reliabilty, the gun is made by HK and its been thrown in some very ruf condition, the gun shoots 45 acp with the recoil of a 9mm due to its recoil reduction system ( also famous in the HK universal self loading pistol or USP ) yes the gun ways about 1.5 pounds witch is quite heavy for the best handguns but its not as heavy as a desert eagle ( plus the DE is NOT a combat pistol ), with that said the beretta series are great guns, I'm familiar with the beretta pt92 and I have never, NEVER seen the weapon go with a failure to feed or eject or any problem at all but its lacks the stopping power the mk 23 could offer, yes I am aware that the mark 23 is a pricy gun usualy in the 1,000 or 2,000 $range unlike the berreta so yeah if your on a budget the glock and beretta handguns are a real good choice

PS : The five seven is a great handgun, but the MK23 rains supreme in my opinion and remember your behind the gun you use choose smart and shoot straight

6Glock 17

Any of you who shoot a desert eagle.44 caliber and.50 caliber for sure... I bet u can't hit anything longer than 25 feet away... And your second shot is useless cause of the kick back... So u better hit whatever your shooting at the first time and up close... Meenwhile the glock can drop 17 shots in less than 15 seconds with great accuracy from a distance of 30 yards.

Anyone with a brain knows that GLOCK is the best maker of handguns in the world. So many military, security, and law enforcement can't be wrong.

Get some experience other than looking at pictures and playing video games and you'll agree.

Glock 17 ALL THE WAY!
one of the VERY FEW guns that can shoot underwater without exploding..
tough, innovative, safe and easy to dismantle.. What more do I need to say?

7Walther PPK

This is awesome 1 its great to conceal and JAMES BOND USES IT STOP TROLLING ASD

8Taurus Raging Bull

All I have to say is " have you seen this gun? " it was a pistol before pistols were pistols! That's how awesome and totally BA this gun is!

Nice and really good one
The gripe is so good in hand and in firing so nice feel

9Colt Single Action Army

The Single Action Army:The gun that made the west, it has that title for a reason. It has a powerful round and gets lots of bad votes from it being Single Action, but Single Action can be better then Semi auto in some ways.

Most influential gun ever made. Seen in every western. Has the infamous quickdraw quality to it.

10SIG Sauer P226
Nices firearm I have ever owned or shot
Too compare a Glock to a Sig Sauer is like comparing a Mustang to a Porsche. Both are sports cars but one doesn't compare to the other. When my life is at stake nothing but the best will work, that is why I will only carry a Sig Sauer.
Nicest quality handgun I have ever held in my hand. Amazing single to double transition. Very well made and reliable. Anyone who says Glock to to poor or cheap to buy a real gun. A Sig Sauer!

The Contenders

11Mini Uzi
This isn't technecly a pistol, more like a submachine gun. Only because this is automatic. Sort of like the G 18 ( Glock 18). But still, this weapon was used by the afgahn drug dealers.
Small automatic and awesome rate of fire. Light and accurate this should be 4rth
powerful machine pistol which fires a lot of bullets at once. Its small size makes it convenient to carry and the rate of fire makes it a dangerous weapon

12Springfield 1911
the 1911 has been proven time and time again. IT has been and is still carried in battle, war, home protection and personal protection. The.45 round carries a one shot stop punch all with in itself, add a top quality manufactured gun for an affordable price, you got my vote!
The 1911 should still be the mititary used pistol. Yeah, the 9mm has more rounds, but it takes that many to kill someone or somthing. The 1911 takes A.45 calaber shell witch is way more powerful than a berreta 9mm.

Springfield 1911 many service men can't be wrong! And just think of the lives that where saved by this big badass handgun chuck z

14Springfield XDM

Light weight, match grade barrel, comes with a nice case/kit. Great Ergonomics. 19 round mags, Adjustable Back Stap. AWESOME short trigger with a great feel. ACCURATE! Have the XDM 45, want the 9mm too.

15Colt M1911

This is easily my favorite handgun. Mostly because it is a 45. It is still in use today, and although it only holds 7-8 rounds it just is an amazing gun. But hey it's in the top 20. Just think it deserves to be at least 9.


1622 Magnum

Powerfull, not that popular, but is the best!

17FN Five-seveN
Great weapon, low recoil, crazy muzzle velocity using protector ammunition. 20 rd mags standard, what more can you ask for? Armor piercing capability? Oh yeah, it has that too. Perfect 10
This has to be the best pistol on the market "hands down". The five-seven & the Barrett REC7 is all you need for personal defense weapons.
5.7x28mm: bottle neck, armor piercing rounds, best caliber to ever use in a handgun.

18Glock 27

19Colt .45 Revolver

20Smith & Wesson 500

This gun is a 50 caliber cartridge handgun. This gun is the worlds most powerful production pistol to date. It will take down even elephants. So eat lead 9mm.

This gun is the most powerful handgun on earth. With its gigantic bullet size and extremely fast hammer collision (and extremely large recoil), the force of the handgun is sufficient to push a man back by about a foot, also making it loud enough to hurt your eardrums. This makes this gun quite heavy (5.125 lbs/about 2.325 kg while loaded) and have only 5 rounds at a time (due to large bullet size). Despite this, a single bullet can go 1975 ft/s (602 m/s) and have a muzzle energy equal to 3,030 foot-pounds force (4.1 kJ). This is sufficient to successfully kill an elephant. It should be #1.

21Makarov
I like the 9x18 makarovs, how they handle, feel and that phemomenal look. It is similar to the PPK but personally I would pick the rugged reliability of the makarov.

22SIG Sauer P220

23357 Magnum

24Glock 21

Low recoil and very very relieable great duty gun.

25Walther P99

26Glock 22

27Walther P38

28CZ 85 Combat 9mm
Shoots dead on and feels great in your hand. Either hand as it is ambidextrous.

29Browning Hi-Power
This is one of the best and most unique handguns of all time! It's so much fun having and shooting this gun. Its size and shape, its accuracy, its reliability and recoil are great. What more could you ask for a handgun! It's amazing!
Its excellent power stoping

30Luger P08

31Baby Eagle .45 cal.

First... I don't believe an extraordinary number of rounds in a handgun makes it better. Unless you practice "drive-byes". If you can't hit your target at a reasonable distance with 3 or 4 rounds, you don't need a handgun.

My compact Baby Eagle feels just right in my hand, and I can hit center mass on a silhouette target at 50ft. 9 out of 10 times. Rapid fire. Not the greatest shot... But I do have fun!

32Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380
Very nice pistol one problem, you have to keep replacing buttons for the laser sights I have replaced three times.
