Pistols

A pistol is a type of handgun where the chamber is directly aligned with the barrel and is designed to be fired with one hand. At Fin Feather Fur we are a trusted online dealer of pistols for sale with many options of centerfire pistols and rimfire pistols in a wide selection of styles and brands to choose from with the best pistol prices on the market with free shipping on some pistols for sale.

Pistol Basics

There are two main types of handguns, pistols and revolvers. While pistols have the chamber directly aligned with the barrel, revolvers have a separate cylinder that houses multiple chambers. The word “pistol” originates from the French term “pistolet” in 1550 which means “a small gun or knife”. Obviously, we aren’t trying to buy a small knife to defend our homes. We are looking for that beautiful and reliable pistol that delivers consistent accuracy and is durable enough to perform in any situation.

Types of Pistol Calibers

The most common pistol calibers are the .22 LR, 9mm Luger, and .45 ACP/Auto. Different calibers offer different advantages for shooting. For example, a 9mm pistol will have better penetration and affordability than a .45 ACP, but the .45 ACP pistol will have much better stopping power.
