Small Handguns - Guns For Sale

Small handguns, often referred to as compact or subcompact pistols, are designed for easy concealment and portability, making them ideal for personal defense and everyday carry (EDC). These handguns are typically lightweight, with shorter barrels and reduced grip sizes, allowing for discreet carry without sacrificing usability. Chambered in popular calibers like 9mm, .380 ACP, and .38 Special, small handguns deliver effective stopping power while maintaining manageable recoil in a compact frame. Popular models, such as the Glock 43, Sig Sauer P365, and Ruger LCP, are known for their slim profiles and reliability, making them popular choices among concealed carry permit holders. Many small handguns offer six to ten rounds in the magazine, providing sufficient capacity for defensive situations while keeping the firearm light and comfortable to carry. Despite their smaller size, today’s small handguns often include advanced features like night sights, textured grips for secure handling, and striker-fired or double-action/single-action triggers that ensure reliable performance. Some models are even optics-ready, allowing for red dot sight installation. Small handguns balance concealability and effectiveness, making them practical options for those needing a firearm that is easy to carry daily. With modern advancements, these handguns offer powerful performance in a compact, user-friendly package.
