Springfield Armory is known for their production of US Military weapons in the first half of the 20th century. They produced millions of M1A's and M14's carried by troops from WWII through Viet Nam. In our opinion, they currently produce some of the best 1911 handguns you can buy for under $1000. Their XD/XDM line of polymer striker-fired pistols represents a great buy with one of the best "out of the box" triggers on the market.

Home Defense Revolvers

The simplicity of the revolver makes it a good choice for some shooters. They are completely self-contained. There are few moving and zero detachable parts (such as magazines with semi-auto pistols). The operator simply opens them up, inserts ammunition, closes them, and pulls the trigger when applicable. While the administrative use of revolvers is very simple and potentially less intimidating for those not familiar with firearms, actually shooting them can be challenging. We recommend a heavier steel frame revolver chambered in 357 magnum (which can also shoot the lower recoil 38 special) for the novice shooter. For those that are more familiar with the mighty wheel gun there are several incredibly powerful cartridges available for revolvers. Since they cycle mechanically instead of automatically, many revolver proponents claim they are more reliable than semi-autos. Read more...
