"In law enforcement, they are not even in our arsenal because of the hazard they present to innocent people," he continued. Futuristic and intimidating in appearance, as well as inexpensive, the gun has been a favorite of drug rings. "We are running more and more into these exotic weapons, which serve no useful purpose," said LeRoy Martin, Superintendent of Police in Chicago, who is leading a campaign that urges the Illinois Legislature to ban the Tec-9 and weapons like it. Citing statistics that indicate the Tec-9 is confiscated in crimes at a rate higher than any other weapon, compared to the number in circulation, many officials single it out as one of the biggest menaces on America's streets. The most popular Taurus Revolvers are the Judge, which handles 45 Long Colt and 410 bore shotgun shells, and the Model 85, a sub-compact five-shooter chambered in 38 Special +P.To Mike Solo, marketing and sales director at the Intratec gun plant here, the Tec-9 semiautomatic pistol the company makes is a "high-spirited" firearm ideal for home protection or target practice and a "fun gun" avidly sought by weekend shooters and collectors because Intratec knows how to "give people what turns them on."īut law-enforcement officials and gun-control advocates around the country take a decidedly different, and much dimmer, view of the 9-millimeter assault pistol with the ventilated 5-inch barrel and 32-round magazine that is manufactured at Intratec's small factory just off the Florida Turnpike and sells for only $260. When it was first made in 1955, the Model 629 was the most powerful handgun in production at the time. Top-selling Smith & Wesson revolvers include the 642, a compact and lightweight J-frame revolver, and the 629, which is chambered in 44 Magnum.
The GP100 and SP101 are suitable for outdoor carry, while the Blackhawk is an old west-styled, single-action wheel gun that has been in production for more than 60 years. Ruger's best-selling handgun models include the LCR, GP100, SP101, and Blackhawk. Some of the most popular revolvers are made by Ruger, Smith & Wesson, and Taurus.

Smith & Wesson's best sellers include the M&P9, M&P9 Shield and M&P Bodyguard.
The P938 is based on the 1911 and chambered in 9mm.
