semi-automatic pistols
A semi-automatic pistol is a type of handgun that automatically reloads after each shot. When the trigger is pulled, a bullet is fired, and the energy from that shot ejects the spent cartridge and chambers a new round from the magazine. This allows the shooter to fire multiple rounds quickly without needing to manually reload after each shot.
These pistols typically use a magazine that holds several rounds, making them popular for both self-defense and sport shooting. Common examples of semi-automatic pistols include the Glock 19 and Beretta 92. They are known for their ease of use and relatively low recoil.
