Beretta Px4 Storm 460 tape

Beretta Px4 Storm

Cal. 9x19mm, .40S&W
Magazine: 17 round (9mm), 14 round (.40) proprietary magazine
Barrel: 4 inches
Weight: 1.7 pounds unloaded
Finish: Matte black

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.

Bushmaster Carbon 15 Type 21S 650 tape

Bushmaster Carbon 15 Type 21S

Cal. 5.56x45mm or .223 Remington
Magazine: 5-10-20-30-40-70 round detachable STANAG box/100 round C-Mag drum
Barrel: 7.25 inches
Weight: 3.45 pounds unloaded
Finish: Matte black

Essentially, the Carbon 15 pistol is an XM15 with a short barrel and no stock. However, both the upper and lower receivers are made of a carbon fiber material to reduce weight. Having an AR15's receiver means that anybody who is already familiar with the AR15 and its clones and variants can easily operate the Carbon 15.

The Carbon 15 is equipped with integrated front and rear iron sights, a detachable compensator to reduce recoil, and a full-length receiver-mounted Picatinny rail for mounting optics. Identical front and rear sling studs allow the mounting of a sling and even some bipods, though the merits of such an action are arguable.

The Carbon 15 can be equipped with various fire mode selectors; safe and semi-automatic or safe, semi-automatic, and fully-automatic.

Bushmaster Carbon 15 Type 97S 700 tape

Bushmaster Carbon 15 Type 97S

Cal. 5.56x45mm or .223 Remington
Magazine: 5-10-20-30-40-70 round detachable STANAG box/100 round C-Mag drum
Barrel: 7.25 inches
Weight: 3.65 pounds unloaded
Finish: Matte black

The Carbon 15 Type 97S is almost exactly the same gun as the Type 21S, except for that it is equipped with an underbarrel Picatinny rail attached to the handguard and a Hogue rubber grip with molded finger grooves.

Fabrique Nationale Five-Seven 800 tape

Fabrique Nationale Five-Seven

Cal. 5.7x28mm
Magazine: 10-20 round proprietary magazine
Barrel: 4.8 inches
Weight: 1.37 pounds
Finish: Matte black

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.

Glock 18 800 tape

Glock 18

Cal. 9x19mm
Magazine: 10/17/19/31 round Glock full-size
Barrel: 4.5 inches
Weight: 1.4 pounds
Finish: Matte black

The Glock 18 is a full-size handgun with a polymer frame. The model 18 is basically the same as a model 17, except for the fact that it has a switch attached to the rear of the slide to select semi-automatic or fully-automatic modes.

Heckler & Koch Mark 23 1200 tape

Heckler & Koch Mark 23

Cal. .45 ACP
Magazine: 12 round proprietary magazine
Barrel: 5.87 inches
Weight: 2.42 pounds
Finish: Matte black

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.

Heckler & Koch P2000 675 tape
Cal. 9x19mm
Magazine: 13-round USP Compact-type magazine
Barrel: 3.7 inches
Weight: 1.36 pounds
Finish: Matte black

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.

Heckler & Koch P2000SK 725 tape
Cal. 9x19mm
Magazine: 10 round proprietary magazine or 13 round USP Compact-type magazine (extends well below gun)
Barrel: 3.2 inches
Weight: 1.33 pounds
Finish: Matte black

An even smaller variant of the P2000 with the same features... but smaller. It can indeed use USP Compact magazines like the P2000, but they extend well below the grip, rendering the smaller stature of the P2000SK pointless.

Heckler & Koch P7 Series 700/750 tape
Cal. 9x19mm (P7M8, P7M13), .40 S&W (P7M10)
Magazine: 8 round (P7M8), 10 round (P7M10), 13 (P7M13) round proprietary magazine
Barrel: 4.13 inches
Weight: 1.71 pounds (P7M8), 2.66 pounds (P7M10), 1.87 pounds (P7M13)
Finish: Matte black


Heckler & Koch P9 Series 700/750 tape
Cal. 9x19mm, .45 ACP

Cal. 9x19mm, .357 Sig (compact only), .40 S&W, .45 ACP
Magazine: 8 round (.45 compact), 12 round (.45 full size, .40 compact, .357), 13 round (.40 full size, 9mm compact), 15 round (9mm full size) USP-type magazine
Barrel: 3.58 inches (9mm compact, .40 compact), 3.8 inches (.45 compact), 4.25 inches (9mm full size, .40 full size), 4.41 inches (.45 full size)
Weight: 1.47 pounds (9mm compact, .357), 1.53 pounds (.40 compact), 1.6 pounds (.45 compact), 1.65 pounds (.9mm full size, .40 full size), 1.74 pounds (.45 full size)
Finish: Matte black, two-tone matte black frame with stainless slide, two-tone desert tan frame with matte black slide, two-tone gray with matte black slide, two-tone olive drab with matte black slide

The USP. It doesn't matter which version you get--it's just about the only pistol you'll ever need.

Seriously.

Well, unless you need a suppressed weapon--then you get a USP Tactical (below).

The USP45 can use Mark 23 magazines, but the reverse is not true due to floorplate differences.

Heckler & Koch USP Tactical Series 850 to 1000 tape

Heckler & Koch USP Tactical

Cal. 9x19mm (USP9 SD), .40 S&W, .45 ACP
Magazine: 12 round (.45), 13 round (.40), 15 round (9mm) USP-type magazine
Barrel: 4.7 inches (9mm), 4.9 inches (.40), 5.09 inches (.45)

The USP Tactical is essentially a USP, modified with high, adjustable iron sights, a threaded barrel, and a match trigger.

Finish: Matte black with stainless barrel, trigger, and hammer

A modernized clone of John Moses Browning's wonder of the universe, the M1911. The Kimber Custom II comes standard with high sights, a skeleton hammer, enlarged ejection port, extended thumb safety, and beavertail grip safety.

Kimber Custom TLE/RL II

Magazine: 7 or 8 round single-stack 1911 magazine
Barrel: 4.9 inches
Weight: 2.44 pounds
Finish: Matte black with stainless barrel, trigger, and hammer

A version of the Kimber Custom II, with the addition of front strap checkering, three-dot night sights, and most importantly, an underbarrel accessory rail (MIL STD 1913 Picatinny) for mounting flashlights, laser aiming devices, etc.

Magazine: 7 or 8 round single-stack 1911 magazine

Rock Island Armory 1911A1 350 tape

Rock Island Armory 1911A1

Cal. .45 ACP
Magazine: 7 or 8 round single-stack 1911 magazine
Barrel: 4.9 inches
Weight: 2.4 pounds
Finish: Matte black with wood grips

One of the most faithful recreations of St. Browning's original masterpiece, the Rock Island Armory is an amazingly inexpensive but reliable and accurate M1911. For the price, it can't be beat.

Royal Armory P80 560 tape
Cal. .700 Nitro Express
Magazine: 6 round swing-open cylinder
Barrel: 1 inch
Weight: 6.3 pounds
Finish: Matte black; OD green w/ gray accents

An Ellixan weapon designed for Ellixans by Ellixans. It is a weapon of fear and total destructive power. It is the standard sidearm of the Ellixan Iron Guard. 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. This is not a pistol to throw on your bedside table for mid-night home defense... unless you're an Ellixan or an orc. You need serious bone structure and muscle to effectively utilize this weapon.

SigArms P220R 640 tape

SigArms P220R

Cal. .45 ACP
Magazine: 8 round proprietary magazine
Barrel: 4.4 inches
Weight: 1.9 pounds
Finish: Matte black; two-tone matte black frame with stainless slide

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.

SigArms P226R 550 tape

SigArms P226R

Cal. 9x19mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W
Magazine: 15 round (9mm), 12 round (.357 and .40) proprietary magazine
Barrel: 4.4 inches
Weight: 2.13 pounds
Finish: Matte black; two-tone matte black frame with stainless slide

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

SigArms P228 680 tape

Cal. 9x19mm
Magazine: 13 round proprietary magazine
Barrel: 3.9 inches
Weight: 1.82 pounds
Finish: Matte black; two-tone matte black frame with stainless slide

The SigArms P228 is the first little brother of the P226, however, it comes only in 9x19mm. Because the P228 was discontinued before SigArms began producing pistols with underbarrel rails, the P228 is not equipped with a rail. Oddly, there seems to be a large surplus of P228s in the Daireem galaxy.

SigArms P229R 550 tape

SigArms P229R

Cal. 9x19mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W
Magazine: 15 round (9mm), 12 round (.357 and .40) proprietary magazine
Barrel: 3.8 inches
Weight: 1.91 pounds
Finish: Matte black; two-tone matte black frame with stainless slide

The SigArms P229R is the second little brother of the P226. It is primarily a slightly redesigned P228; the slide has been redesigned, it has been adapted for different calibers, and SigArms's standard practice of producing pistols with underbarrel rails has been applied.

Springfield Armory XD Compact 490 tape
Cal. .45 ACP
Magazine: 10 round flush-fit magazine, 13 round X-Tension magazine
Barrel: 4 or 5 inches
Weight: 1.85 pounds (4 inch barrel), 2 pounds (5 inch barrel)
Finish: Matte black; two tone olive drab frame with matte black slide; two tone desert tan frame with matte black slide

The XD Compact takes the .45 ACP XD Service and XD Tactical models and shortens the grip to XD Sub-Compact length. Advertised as two guns in one, included with the gun is a flush-fit 10 round magazine, as well as an extended 13 round magazine that adds length to the grip, transforming it into the exact dimensions of the full size frame.

Springfield Armory XD Service 460 tape
Cal. 9x19mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, .45 GAP, .45 ACP
Magazine: 16 round (9mm), 12 round (.357 SIG and .40 S&W), 9 round (.45 GAP), 13 round (.45 ACP) full-size XD magazine
Barrel: 4 inches
Weight: 1.75 pounds
Finish: Matte black; two tone olive drab frame with matte black slide; two tone matte black frame with stainless slide

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.

Springfield Armory XD Sub-Compact 470 tape
Cal. 9x19mm, .40 S&W
Magazine: 10 round flush-fit (9mm), 9 round flush-fit (.40 S&W), 16 round X-Tension (9mm), 12 round X-Tension (.40 S&W)
Barrel: 3 inches
Weight: 1.62 pounds
Finish: Matte black; two tone olive drab frame with matte black slide; two tone matte black frame with stainless slide

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.

Springfield Armory XD Tactical 470 tape
Cal. 9x19mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, .45 GAP, .45 ACP
Magazine: 16 round (9mm), 12 round (.357 SIG and .40 S&W), 9 round (.45 GAP), 13 round (.45 ACP) full-size XD magazine
Barrel: 5 inches
Weight: 2 pounds
Finish: Matte black; two tone olive drab frame with matte black slide; two tone matte black frame with stainless slide

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