Glock
4.6
(75)

Smith & Wesson

CZ
4.4
(21)
"CZ P10C, P10F, P10S. All tried true and tested. All can be had for under $350."

"CZ is the answer for all bang-for-your-buck firearm needs."
"Cz p10c, was skeptical at first but got mine as my first handgun."

"The Ruger Security 380 is a decent size and has, probably, the easiest slide I’ve ever felt."
"Some standouts are the Ruger LCR, the Keltec P32, the Sig P365, the Glock 42, and the 22TUC."
