Information
- https://www.handgunhero.com/ - side by side comparisons for handguns, size, weight, capacity, etc. Includes image with grid to scale.
Purchasing
- https://www.gunbroker.com/ - eBay-ish style auction site for guns (and ammo and accessories). All must be legally shipped to and transferred via a FFL (or if you find a local seller, many do local pickup)!
- https://www.armslist.com/ - craigslist-style connection site for guns (and ammo and accessories). All must be legally transferred via a FFL. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND AGAINST PRIVATE SALE WHEN SELLING, UNLESS ADEQUATE BILL OF SALE PAPERWORK IS COMPLETED, IF PRIVATE SALE IS EVEN LEGAL IN YOUR JURISDICTION! Some sellers WILL ship, similar to gunbroker.com, FFL receiver and transfer is required.
