Gun Digest Shooter’s Guide to Handguns will hit the shelves this month, and whether you’re an experienced shooter or new to handguns, if you want to improve your performance shooting a pistol or revolver, this guide will help you do it.

Here’s your chance to win Gun Digest Shooter’s Guide to Handguns before it even hits the shelves!
Just about any online gun forum will sooner or later have a heated discussion about magazines (or “mags”) and clips. Many people use the two interchangeably, referring to a pistol’s ammunition carrier as a clip. Technically this isn’t correct: a clip is an open device which holds each round of ammunition by its groove, rim, or base, while a magazine is an enclosed device in which the rounds are simply contained by spring pressure. All autoloading pistols available today use magazines, not clips.
To enter the random drawing, just post a comment below answering the following question: How long have you owned a handgun(s) – Are you a seasoned veteran, a new handgun owner, or just considering purchasing your first gun?
