Handgun Size

For this study, handgun size is defined by three terms:

OL = measured parallel to the barrel from the front of the barrel to the rear of the grips/stocks.

OH = measured perpendicular to the barrel from the top of the slide/top strap (not including sights) to the bottom of the grips/stocks (assumes "combat" sights).

OW = For Revolvers: the maximum diameter of the cylinder (assumes “combat stocks).

OW = For Pistols: the maximum width of the grip (assumes “combat” safeties).

All dimensions are in inches.
