    whichgun.com - handgun comparison site

    Interesting new website for comparing handguns.

    WhichGun.com is a firearms reference and purchasing guide to help law-abiding citizens choose a handgun, pistol, revolver, rifle, or shotgun. Information, specifications, photos, ratings, user comments, and reviews are included for over 1000 firearms available to buy brand new or used from a gun shop or gun show. Pistols and revolvers are rated for concealability, firepower, and overall capability for defense outside the home, to help individuals licensed for concealed carry choose a CCW handgun.

              Hi Rivers, thanks for posting this. I am the owner of WhichGun.com, it is a personal project of mine (I am a web developer and database administrator).

              Morfeeis, thank you for the suggestion. A side-by-side comparison would definitely be a nice feature to have. I will look into adding it once I complete the rifles and shotguns sections, and get a few more articles on the site.

              If anyone else has any comments, suggestions, or have found a problem or bug with the site, please let me know by replying here or emailing me at info@whichgun.com.

              Thank you!

                  Very nice, especially for someone like me looking to get their first gun. Be even better when the comments, etc. get built up a little. Bud

                          A very good suggestion was made to me in order to improve the site -- allow multiple selections per filtering option. If you go to B&H Photo's page for DSLR camera shopping, on the left you can select multiple manufacturers, megapixel counts, LCD screen sizes, and so forth.

                          On WhichGun.com, a similar system will allow you to, for example, easily find all compact and subcompact pistols manufactured by Ruger or Kel-Tec and chambered for .380 ACP or 9mm. With these filter criteria, you would be presented with the Ruger LC9, Ruger LCP, Ruger SR9c, Kel-Tec P-11, Kel-Tec P-3AT, and Kel-Tec PF-9.

                          This would obviously be a much more powerful system for discovering which firearms fit your requirements.

                          I've already started rewriting some of the code and have made some progress towards making this feature available. If all goes well, this enhanced filtering system will be live by the end of this week.

                          If anyone has any additional comments or suggestions, or if you have found an error or bug, please let me know about it.

                            i love it when a site owner not only takes input but ask for it, good luck with your site.

                            When you get to AR style rifles are you just going to do it based on full pre-built rifles?
