Go look in your safe. Do you own one of the top 10 handguns ever made? Chances are you do.
We’ll take a walk back to the origins of the handgun and move forward to the present and look at some of the most notable handguns of the last 150 years. The first recognizable guns were developed by the Chinese in the 10th Century.
The fielding of the French Arquebus in the 16th century saw the first uses of reliable handgun-type weapons. Centuries later, the gun became the chosen weapon on the battlefield, not because of lethality, but practicality. Soldiers that were once trained for a lifetime to wield the sword or bow and arrow could now be trained in a matter of weeks on firearm marksmanship.
The handguns that evolved from the Arquebus went on to help win the West in America, and provide millions of citizens the ability to protect their persons and property.
Here are our pick of the 10 Greatest Of All Time handguns.
