The Px4, the Beretta Cx4 Storm's pistol brother, was designed to be ergonomic and versatile. Its rotating, low-axis barrel facilitates low recoil and muzzle rise, and its polymer frame and skeletonized hammer reduce weight.

Unlike most modern semi-automatic handguns, which use a delayed-recoil, tilting barrel locking mechanism, the Px4's barrel rotates in place, making it inherently more accurate than any tilt-barrel handgun, at least in theory.

The Px4 is equipped with removable front and rear sights with luminescent green dots, making for "makeshift" night sights, as these dots have to be "charged" with existing light before glowing, allowing for low-light target acquisition. Because they can be removed, they can be replaced with dedicated night sights or other sighting systems.

The Px4 is available in two variants; Type F and Type G. While looking and operating, for the most part, exactly the same, the Type F is equipped with a slide-mounted safety lever, while the Type G's lever is only capable of decocking the hammer.

Essentially, the Carbon 15 pistol is an M16 with a short barrel and no stock. However, both the upper and lower receivers are made of a carbon fiber composite to reduce weight, and it includes a Hogue molded rubber grip for added comfort. Having an M16's receiver means that anybody who is already familiar with the M16 and its clones and variants can easily operate the Carbon 15.

The Carbon 15 is equipped with integrated front and rear iron sights, a removable A2-style birdcage flash suppressor, and a full-length receiver-mounted Picatinny rail for mounting optics, as well as an under-barrel Picatinny rail for mounting vertical foregrips, flashlights, laser aiming devices, and other accessories.

The Carbon 15 can be equipped with any M16 trigger pack, offering any combination of safe, semi-automatic, three-round burst, and fully automatic, though whether the recoil would be at all manageable on anything but semi-automatic is questionable.

The Five-Seven was designed as a sidearm for the FN P90, using the same cartridge. The 5.7x28mm SS190 round was designed to essentially be a rifle round fired through a pistol, but with milder recoil than a 9mm. In fact, it looks much like a downsized version of the 5.56x45mm round. Because of the cartridge's design, it can penetrate body armor at distances up to 200 yards, though an accurate shot at such a distance would be unlikely.

The Five-Seven features a lightweight polymer frame and a very large-capacity magazine, considering it's a handgun, and comes in two variants; standard, with a double-action only trigger and no safety; and tactical, with a single-action trigger and ambidextrous frame-mounted safety switch.

The Glock is a universal standard in mid-range handguns. Trusted by billions to just work, whenever and wherever it is needed. It originated with the G17 in 9x19mm, and is now in its fourth generation of design and available in a handful of different calibers.

Most widely known handguns at the time of the Glock's introduction used metal frames, but Glock reduced weight with its polymer frame and, thanks to a small amount of flex in the polymer, reduced felt recoil as well. While Glock did not pioneer the polymer frame handgun, it is believed by many that they perfected it.

The Glock is not equipped with an external safety switch, earning the criticism of many as being "unsafe", but in all practicality, the Glock cannot be fired unless the user pulls the trigger. Like with all firearms, it is up to the user to only pull the trigger when intending to do so.

Glock pistols are equipped with accessory rails under the barrel for flashlights, laser aiming devices, or other pistol rail accessories.

A special model is available, the Glock 18, that is a variant of the 9mm Glock 17 with a switch on the rear of the slide to enable fully automatic fire.

The compact series is just what its name implies: a more compact version of their standard series counterparts. This includes a shortened barrel as well as a shortened grip, meaning a slightly reduced magazine capacity.

While flush-fitting magazines inherently have a lower capacity than their standard series counterparts, the magazine well matches the standard series to the point that larger magazines can be used, they will just extend farther below the gun.

The Glock compact series retains the standard series' accessory rail for mounting flashlights, laser aiming devices, and other pistol rail accessories.

The subcompact series is even smaller than the compact series, only offering enough grip to accomodate two fingers. They are intended for concealment under light clothing, or as a backup gun for pocket and ankle holsters.

Extended magazines are available with special floor plates that essentially extend the grip, allowing the entire hand to fit.

The Glock subcompact series, due to its size, does not have an accessory rail.

Designed as an "offensive handgun weapon system"; a large, heavy pistol, using a modified Browning action, equipped with an underbarrel accessory rail, adjustable sights, and threaded barrel.

The Mark 23 is too large and heavy for most people to carry as a concealed weapon, and therefore is relegated to combat handgun status.

However, it excels at its role. Designed for extreme durability, reliability, and accuracy, production tests showed parts easily surviving thirty thousand rounds, with an average of six thousand rounds between malfunctions. As far as accuracy goes, it is surely more accurate than you are, in part thanks to an innovative O-ring on the barrel, tightening the barrel within the slide to reduce movement and vibration while firing. The gun will also practically never rust or otherwise corrode.

A sort of update to the USP Compact, the P2000 features fully ambidextrous controls, futuristic styling, and an industry standard underbarrel accessory rail. Unlike the USP Compact, there is no safety switch, but a push-button decocker on the rear of the slide to safely decock the weapon even with a chambered round.

The P2000 is available with multiple trigger types, ranging from conventional double and single action, a sort of modified single action-only, and double action-only. It is available with either spurred or spurless (does not protrude from the rear of the gun) hammers.

The USP began life as the Mark 23, developed under the guidelines of the Offensive Handgun Weapon System for United States Special Operations Command of The United States of America, Earth, Sol, Milky Way. It is a no-frills, all-business weapon designed with accuracy and dependability in mind. In an odd design decision, the under-barrel accessory rail is a proprietary rail, requiring an adapter to use standard rail accessories or special accessories designed specifically for the USP.

The USP is somewhat large and heavy, and not necessarily the best option for concealment or smaller hands.

As a testament to the weapon's durability, in one test, a .40 caliber USP had a bullet intentionally lodged in the barrel, and another round fired through it to clear the obstruction. The obstruction was not only cleared, but the gun was able to continue firing. Note, however, that reproduction of this test may not have the same result, and a catastrophic failure of the weapon is always possible.

Note that the .45 caliber USP can use H&K Mark 23 magazines, but the reverse is not true due to floorplate differences.

Practically a USP-but-smaller, with a shorter barrel (by about three quarters of an inch) and a shorter grip. Intended for easier concealed carry or smaller hands.

The USP Compact is also equipped with a "non-bobbed" hammer which sits flush with the rear of the slide when decocked, reducing chances of snagging on clothing or other objects.

The USP Tactical is essentially a USP, modified with raised adjustable iron sights, a threaded barrel for mounting a muzzle device such as a sound suppressor, and a match trigger.

A faithful recreation of St. Browning's original masterpiece, the government model 1911. The Springfield Armory G.I. is an inexpensive but reliable and accurate M1911. For the price, it can't be beat.

A modernized version of John Moses Browning's wonder of the universe, the M1911, complete with Novak night sights, a skeleton hammer, enlarged ejection port, extended thumb safety, and beavertail grip safety, all features designed to make the weapon more user-friendly.

Similar to the Springfield Armory Loaded, the Kimber Custom TLE/RL II is a version of the M1911 was modern user-friendly features such as a enlarged sights, a skeleton hammer, beavertail grip safety, and extended thumb safety switch, but most importantly, the TLE/RL II is equipped with an industry standard under-barrel accessory rail for mounting flashlights, laser aiming devices, etc.

A modernized M1911, similar to the Springfield Armory Loaded and Kimber Custom TLE/RL II, but shortened for ease of carry and concealment.

An Ellixan weapon, designed by Suerton's government-owned Royal Armory for use by those equipped with powered armor, specifically Suerton's personal Iron Guard. In a radical departure from standard Ellixan procedures, it is not a practical weapon. It is a weapon of fear. The 3-inch long .700 Nitro Express cartridge was designed for big game hunting in Africa, Earth, Sol, Milky Way. The recoil is enough to knock an average man back on his heels when fired from a rifle; consider that firing from a handgun increases felt recoil by an incredible margin. This is not a pistol to throw on your bedside table for mid-night home defense.

The P80 is a highly unorthodox revolver design. The cylinder is mounted forward in the frame, ahead of the trigger, because due to its absurdly large cartridge, mounting the cylinder above the grip and trigger (as on a standard revolver) would increase the weapon's height to unwieldy levels. However, this also means that the barrel is incredibly short, despite the gun's overall length being nearly 11 inches. A benefit of this design, though, is that the barrel is aligned with the bottom of the cylinder, aligning recoil more with the wrist and helping to reduce muzzle flip.

Consider before purchasing this weapon that you need a good solid physical build and above average skill with a pistol to handle its immense recoil. Its considerable weight, over seven pounds (comparable to some rifles) is not only a product of the size of the weapon, but some dead weight was intentionally added to help manage recoil. Still, if fired with one hand, the recoil would more than likely wrench the weapon from your grip and send it sailing through the air.

The SigArms P220R is a well-known, very accurate double and single-action handgun. It was designed to replace the Sig P210, in service with the militias of Switzerland, Europe, Earth, Sol, Milky Way.

The P220R is equipped with an underbarrel MIL STD M1913 Picatinny rail.

The SigArms P226R is essentially the P220R in different calibers. It is only marginally smaller. Like the P220R, it is equipped with an underbarrel MIL STD M1913 Picatinny rail.

The SigArms P229R is the little brother of the P226, using the same trigger and action, but downsized for smaller hands and easier concealment.

The XD Tactical is simply the XD Service model with a longer slide, barrel, and sight radius, for better accuracy.

The XD (Xtreme Duty) is Springfield Armory's response to the growing market for inexpensive, polymer-frame, lightweight, durable pistols. Originally the relatively unknown IM Metal HS2000 pistol, Springfield Armory bought the rights to manufacture the gun and it exploded from there.

The XD series combines many of the best elements of other handguns into one complete package, including the grip angle and grip safety of a the M1911 platform and the trigger safety of a Glock. It does not have a manual safety switch; simply holding the gun in a normal firing grip disables the grip safety, and pulling the trigger disables the trigger safety.

All XD models have an underbarrel MIL STD M1913 Picatinny accessory rail, a striker status indicator on the rear of the slide, externally indicating whether the firearm is cocked, as well as a loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide, behind the ejection port, to indicate if a round is chambered. However, it is not good practice to rely on this loaded chamber indicator—always visually inspect the chamber yourself.

The XD Service is the base model for all XD handguns.

A smaller version of the XD Service model, with a shortened barrel and grip, intended for concealed carry. The shortened underbarrel rail has a weapon light specifically designed for it; the XML.

Extended magazines are available with grip extensions to increase the grip length to that of the Service and Tactical models.
