Dear INSIDERs,
Let’s talk pistols.
It’s 2026. Roughly 72% of America owns a handgun. That’s a lot of pistols, and with that comes the responsibility of knowing how to properly carry, handle and store them.
Not everyone carries concealed, and not everyone stores their pistol the same way. But wherever you keep it, it should be secure. In your vehicle, that could mean a locked console or dedicated lockbox rather than leaving it loose. At home, a biometric handgun safe keeps it secured while still giving you access when you need it.
With that in mind, we pulled together a few pistols worth knowing about, along with some of the best gun deals we’ve found this month.
