A pistol is a handgun where the magazine that holds the ammunition which slides into the grip of the gun. A pistol uses some of the energy created from firing of the gun to eject the spent cartridge and load a fresh one. Pistols have the benefit of magazines that can hold a larger number of rounds. They also typically have an easier trigger pull, have the ability to shoot multiple rounds very quickly and are slimmer and more compact in shape.
Pistols; however, are not as mechanically simple as revolvers and require very good cleaning to insure proper function. Their semi-automatic action is dependent on the first round firing successfully so the next round is cycled into the chamber properly. The reliability of modern pistols is exceptionally high though and makes this less of an issue. The best defensive semi-automatic calibers are: .380, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP. All of these calibers are available in small sized (compact) pistols suitable for concealed carry.
Special note: In general, a pistol with a long trigger pull that requires a very deliberate and strong pull of the trigger in order to fire is recommended. Under stress when the adrenaline is flowing you want to be sure you really want to pull the trigger and not do so accidentally.
Let’s list and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the PISTOL.
Advantages:
- >Slimmer, lighter and easier to conceal
- >Magazines can hold more rounds of ammunition
- >Can fire rounds of ammunition in rapid succession
- >Easier trigger pull
- >“Typically” have less recoil
- >Easy to reload
Disadvantages:
- >Meticulous cleaning required
- >More likely to misfeed
- >More likely to be “ammunition sensitive”. May not feed all brands of bullets well (practice and >trying different brands can minimize these issues).
- >Overall more expensive
- >Takes more hand strength to “rack the slide” to chamber the first round.
Note: the difficulty in racking a slide may depend on which parts of your hands are weak or may be related to technique. Utilizing the proper technique can make all the difference! Some women with hand issues find it more difficult to pull the trigger on a revolver. If this is a serious issue for you, you may want to look at tilt-up barrel semi-automatics. This type does not require the user to rack the slide for loading. Beretta has one, but I believe it is no longer in production. They are however readily available used.
