Sometimes, it can be difficult to cut through all the noise and find a handgun that’s actually effective and high-quality.
Luckily, your exhaustive search can finally end. We’ve done all of the research so you don’t have to. So continue reading and we’ll walk you through the best handguns for 2020.
1. Walther PPQ M2
If you’re looking for the best of the best when it comes to full-size handguns, then look no further. The Walther PPQ M2 has perhaps the most effective striker-fired trigger available at a reasonable price. Any handgun that fires better than this one is either aftermarket/custom, single-action, or extremely expensive.
When you go to pull that trigger, your hand will be comfortable holding the gun’s ergonomic grip. Plus, as an option, you can get three-dot night sights. And all of this comes on a gun that’s just a little larger than a Glock 19.
2. CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical
The CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical is another fantastic full-size handgun. With this firearm, you’ll get an under-barrel rail for a light on a DA/SA, steel-framed gun that comes with a manual de-cocker. There’s no safety on this gun.
Unloaded, this gun is a bit on the heavy side and weighs around 2.5 pounds. The weight may hinder it from being a great concealed carry choice but it’s excellent for open carry or protecting your home. The heaviness helps to absorb the recoil, though and makes for a very pleasant gun to shoot.
3. Glock 17
The Glock platform may be the most copied design for handguns in the world. And there’s a good reason for this. The Glock is an affordable, reliable, and effective firearm that comes in a variety of sizes and calibers.
This specific model is Glock’s original duty-sized pistol. It’s been a common gun for police officers to use since the 1980s. Glocks are used by militaries and police officers all over the world and the brand may be one of the most well-known when it comes to gun manufacturers.
The Glock 17 isn’t the most accurate gun and it’s not as comfortable to shoot as the other guns we listed earlier. It also doesn’t have the best grip, sights, or trigger. But at such an affordable price, many gun enthusiasts are willing to look past those faults.
4. Glock 19 GEN5
Now, let’s move onto compact handguns. This new model from Glock is based on military designs that weren’t available to the public previously. This generation of Glocks has abandoned the troublesome finger grooves that were on the Gen4 models.
This model also comes with a slide that’s tapered, a slide-stop that can be used in either hand and a variety of other additions that elevate the gun’s value and quality. With this gun, you’re also going to get an improved trigger and more accurate shooting.
Killer Innovations also makes some excellent velocity barrels for the Glock 19 which are worth checking out.
5. Glock 45 GEN5
Want all of the perks fo the Glock 19 GEN5 but with more ammunition capacity? Look no further than the Glock 45 GEN5. It also comes with a classy and low-profile matte black finish. With this model, you’ll get the Glock 17’s grip with the Glock 19’s slide length.
This combination of features makes it a great pick of concealed carry or open carry. And the shorter slides means that you’ll have an easier time concealing the firearm. Plus, you’ll be getting two extra rounds in the magazine.
