Semi-automatic handguns, also known as "self-loading" or "repeating" pistols, are guns that automatically load the next cartridge from a magazine (or, if it's an antique, a clip) when the round in the chamber is fired. However, unlike fully automatic weapons, each chambered round requires its own individual trigger pull.
While fully automatic weapons have some legal restrictions, such as additional permits or statewide bans, semi-auto firearms don't. While you still need to do some paperwork and get a license to buy one, they're one of the easiest types of firearms to purchase. The vast majority of our handguns are perfectly legal to purchase nationwide, but always check your local gun regulations before ordering.
When you buy guns online, they can't be sent straight to your home. It needs to be shipped to and picked up from your local FFL dealer in what's called an "FFL transfer." Before ordering, make sure to ask your dealer of choice if they're willing to accept your package. If they didn't know to expect your package or downright refuse, they'll likely send it back to us.
