5 Best Handguns:
The bustling global arms trade has resulted in many excellent handguns in the last hundred years. Some of the best handguns are more than a hundred years old, while others have been in production for less than a decade. All are excellent weapons for defense, and in some cases offense; they are equally at home in a homeowner’s gun safe or carried as an officer’s sidearm. Here are five of the best handguns currently in service worldwide.
The Colt M1911A1
Designed by prolific gun designer John Moses Browning, and first introduced in 1911, the Colt 1911 pistol was meant to replace weaker .38 caliber pistols used by the U.S. Army during the Philippine Insurrection. The 1911 was the U.S. military’s first semiautomatic handgun, marking a permanent turn away from military revolvers.

A wide welcome at the B&W Pharmacy greets patrons in Beverly with masks expected upon entry to keep the small business in compliance with state mandates for retail businesses.
It’s been a little over 10 months since the COVID-19 pandemic upended most aspects of daily life.
Business around the Muskingum Valley had to adjust then and keep adapting throughout the year to safety recommendations, changes in customer habits and inventory issues.
After moving completely to curbside-only business for about a month last spring, B&W Pharmacy in Beverly has found what passes for business as usual these days.
