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?

About the Author: Corrina Peterson manages book acquisitions and production at Gun Digest Books, the leading publisher of books covering everything there is to know about guns, ammo and knives. Corrina's interest in firearms began as the result of a close relationship with an M16 during active duty military service and went on to include trap shooting, upland bird hunting and wilderness elk hunting.
I’m a seasoned handgun shooter, but Grant Cunningham is a very knowlegeable writer. I’m sure I can learn lots from this book.
I bought my first handgun at age 16, the end of Feb. 1964. A S&W model 17 with 6″ barrel. Lots of targets, squirrels and rabbits later it was given to my son.
The first handgun I bought was a ParaOrdance P14-45 in 1998. Been shooting actively the last eight years.
First thing I bought after turning 21. 22 years ago.
I bought my first handgun in 1982. It was a Ruger service six in 38 spl. I learned to control a double action trigger pull with that gun. I wish I still had it.
I’m looking into buying my first gun for both home defense and concealed carry. I have no experience with firearms. Going to take classes, but I would love to have some reading material to go along with it to practice on my own.
I would like to win this giveaway!
I’m a relatively new handgun shooter, and would love to win this giveaway!
Started using firearms as a child, got my first hand gun about 50 years ago. Still enjoy shooting sports and have passed the sporting ideas to my grandchildren.
Pass it on is a good motto for gun owners everywhere,

First purchased in Spring 2011. I believe this book will prove helpful.
I’ve owned a pistol or revolver since I was 17. Always traded current gun for the next to catch my eye, couldn’t afford to start a collection.
I bought my first new gun a few years back, a Springfield XDM. Love it. Now, I’m going a little old school with a new snub noised revolver to use as my carry weapon. Love it too!
i would like to win this book. bought my first revolver in 1970.
I would like to win this giveaway. I just applied for my CCW and I have always owned a revolver.

My first gun was a zip , I was 15 , I am now 74 and own more sophisticated weapons . Would love to win the book .
I am new to owning a handgun, although I have been shooting a variety of them over the past year or so. I own a Ruger 10/22 at the moment.
Right now I have my eyes on a couple of .22LR’s handguns just to get my feet wet. After that, I am swinging between a Glock 19 Gen4 or a S&W M&P Shield 9mm. It would be my EDC and I am not a big dude by any means. Plus I live in Vegas, so it needs to be something I can conceal easily with shorts/t-shirt.
I learn something every time I pick one up, and look forward to a lifetime of shooting, learning, and staying protected.
Not a gun owner yet
awesome stuff
I began shooting/hunting when I was very young, but didn’t hunt anymore after high school. I purchased my first handgun when I was 50 years old — almost 5 years ago. Now I own several, and participate in action shooting sports.
Bought my first handgun four years ago. Started with a Browning Buckmark so I could learn how to shoot a pistol. Then bought a S&W 642 as my carry piece. Still carry it daily. Then got interested in Steel Shoots. Quickly found out that a five shot snubnose was not competitive and bought a 1911. That gun makes steel competition fun! Still learning about handgunning, so not a seasoned veteran yet.
