Rating of the best traumatic pistols for 2022

Life safety in such a dangerous time comes to the fore. Attempts occur for financial gain or with more terrible motives. The easiest way to protect yourself is to purchase a traumatic weapon. Traumatic pistols look like combat pistols, but their design has been modified. Instead of live ammunition, they use, for example, rubber bullets. This type of bullet is not as dangerous, but it will allow you to protect yourself from the attacker and incapacitate him.

How to choose the right traumatic gun?

Before buying a traumatic gun, you should decide on the purpose of the purchase. Someone is looking for an option that can be discreetly carried around. It is important for someone to have a copy of a certain model of military weapons. For the third, the power of this weapon is important. Having decided on the purpose of buying weapons, you can already consider the selection criteria.

The caliber of a weapon is one of the main criteria where to start choosing. With a large caliber, the gun will have more power, but also a large size. Although, it should be noted that in self-defense, a small pistol can also cause damage to the enemy.

Pay attention to what types of cartridges are suitable for your model of a traumatic pistol. Not all manufactured rubber bullets are suitable for every type of pistol. Particular attention should be paid to the allowed kinetic energy of the bullet. If you use bullets whose energy exceeds the allowable rate, then you can easily disable the weapon.

The material of manufacture of weapons plays an important role when choosing a model. Weapons made of soft materials can become unusable at any moment. This can happen both during the shot and before it.

Each weapon is designed for a certain number of shots. Since traumatics are not made of such durable materials as military weapons, it is not advisable to learn how to shoot with them. And if you have no experience with weapons, and training is necessary, then models with a large number of shots should be preferred.

When choosing between a foreign and a domestic manufacturer, do not rush to vote in honor of the first option. Russian arms manufacturers are no worse. In addition, they make models of weapons under the current legislation.

The size of the pistol must also be taken into account. In self-defense, speed is the main criterion.A small pistol will be convenient to have with you at all times. And in order to quickly apply it in the event of an attack, you need a convenient holster. A large pistol will be noticeable, and not always comfortable with constant wear.
