I reallllllllllllllllly suck with the handles for pistols, I can NEVER get them right. Anyhow, a hand gun that would/could likely fire a 45. caliber round or simply a 9mm round. Magazine will hold the stanard amount of rounds and I pretty much tried to use Lara Croft's gun's for reference but it didn't do so well. I still have a long way to go with pistols.
