Some of these guns are made specifically for plinking and inexpensive target shooting, some are constructed with competitors in mind, while others are designed to be carried every day for personal protection. Just as the construction and aesthetic qualities of handguns vary, so do its intended uses. Some semi-auto handguns allow for customizations, and others don't. Some grips are hard, while others have a softer surface made of rubber or a similar material. These guns can have frames, barrels, and slides made from aluminum, steel, polymer, or other materials, while the grip may be crafted with synthetic materials, wood, or other substances, including ivory. Outside of the action, semi-auto handguns vary tremendously in terms of design, materials, features, and options. Likewise, the caliber of bullets varies significantly from the smaller 22-caliber, which is perfect for plinking and varmint hunting, to the massive 50 AE, which is capable of taking down large animals.

Bullets are most commonly housed in a magazine, with the capacity ranging from just a few rounds to 30 or more. Because this action occurs automatically when the trigger is pulled, semi-auto handguns are sometimes referred to as autoloading or self-loading.Įach squeeze of the trigger results in a single round being fired, an action which can be repeated until all of the bullets are used. A firearm that can typically be held and operated with a single hand, a semi-automatic handgun, or pistol, utilizes a design in which a squeeze of the trigger fires a round, ejects the casing, and automatically rechambers another round.
