What’s the best way to measure the power of a handgun? Muzzle velocity and energy are most commonly used, but the real power of a handgun is determined by the pressure-in pounds per square inch-that’s generated in the barrel’s chamber. The power of some of today’s handguns would make Sam Colt’s knees week. We’re not talking about specialized single shots and bolt-action handguns either we’re talking about semi-automatics and revolvers. They’re also used for hunting the largest and most dangerous game in the world. Handguns today aren’t just concealed-carry firearms made to fend off bad guys. But the handgun has evolved over the years. They were originally thought of, and still are, as self-defense tools for close-quarters combat.
Handguns are generally considered to be low in power and high in portability.
