Introduced in , it is a double-action weapon about twice as wide, and substantially heavier than the typical. Still, it is relatively compact size and a powerful cartridge makes it an effective defensive weapon or a police backup gun. It is made of solid stainless steel components. Cartridges are loaded into the four separate chambers by sliding a latch that "pops-up" the barrel for loading purposes, similar to top-break shotguns.

Each of the four chambers has its own dedicated firing pin. Older " pepperboxes " also used multiple barrels, but the barrels were the part that rotated. In , Paul Mauser introduced the Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" , the first mass-produced and commercially successful semi-automatic pistol, which uses the recoil energy of one shot to reload the next. The distinctive characteristics of the C96 are the integral round, box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which gives it the stability of a short-barreled rifle and doubles as a holster or carrying case, and a unique grip shaped like the handle of a broom.

Compact variants are popular civilian concealed carry weapons in the U. The Walther PP Polizeipistole , or police pistol series pistols were introduced in and are among the world's first successful double action , blowback-operated semi-automatic pistols , developed by the German arms manufacturer Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen.

They would remain the standard issue police pistol for much of Europe well into the s and 80s. The Browning Hi Power is a round, single-action , semi-automatic handgun available in 9mm. Browning died in , several years before the design was finalized.

The Hi-Power is one of the most widely used military pistols in history, [41] having been used by the armed forces of over 50 countries. The Browning was one of the first pistols to use high capacity, detachable magazines. The VP70 was a revolutionary pistol, introducing the polymer frame, predating the Glock by 12 years. It also uses a spring-loaded striker, instead of a conventional firing pin and has a relatively heavy double-action-only the trigger pull.

It also uses a high-capacity round magazine, twice as many rounds as the single-column magazine designs of the era, and 5 more rounds than the Browning Hi-Power. In lieu of a blade front sight, the VP70 uses a polished ramp with a central notch in the middle to provide the illusion of a dark front post. Contrary to a common misconception, the VP70 does indeed have a manual safety. It is the circular button located immediately behind the trigger and it's a common crossblock safety. The stock incorporates a selector switch that, when mounted, allows for a three-round-burst mode of fire.

Cyclic rate of fire for the burst is rounds per minute. When not mounted, the stock acts as a holster. VP stands for Volkspistole [43] [44] [45] literally "People's Pistol" , and the designation 70 was for the first year of production: It went out of production a decade later in when the improved second generation series was introduced the Model The grip is of three pieces made of two nylon plastic panels joined by a metal backstrap.

What were perhaps the Model 92's two most important advanced design features had first appeared on its immediate predecessor, the These improvements both involved the magazine, which featured direct feed; that is, there was no feed ramp between the magazine and the chamber a Beretta innovation in pistols. In addition, to a round "double-stacked" magazine design, it was the first Beretta design to use a magazine release located to the rear of the trigger guard, similar to the Colt M The United States' military replaced the MA1. The Glock 17 , is an round, 9mm Parabellum , polymer - framed , safe-action, short recoil -operated, locked-breech semi-automatic pistols designed and produced by Glock Ges.

It entered Austrian military and police service by after it was the top performer on an exhaustive series of reliability and safety tests. A machine pistol is generally defined as a handgun capable of fully automatic or selective fire. The Germans would quickly follow suit with machine pistols versions of the Luger P08 "Artillery Pistol" and later models of the Mauser C Their light weight, small size, and extremely high rates of fire, make machine pistol difficult to control in full-auto.

Others, such as the Beretta 93R also have a forward hand-grip. Many handguns are easily concealed — a trait that is useful both to civilians wishing to bear arms for self-defense and to criminals wishing to carry a handgun for illegal purposes. For these reasons, handguns are a particular focus of debates on gun politics, and in most jurisdictions both keeping and bearing arms are heavily regulated.
