New Handguns Introduced for 2024
There are quite a few new handguns coming out for 2024. Some are new models of previous guns, while others are completely new.
With the new year started, it’s time to look at the new handguns that manufacturers introduced for 2024. Some years, firearm companies bring out a whole bunch of newly designed pistols and revolvers, others less so. Regarding 2024 handguns, companies came in somewhere in the middle.
A few companies brought out some nice and interesting handguns for 2024. Quite a few ended up being new versions or updates of previous models in either features or caliber. However, several are completely new. This includes a couple that were quite surprising, especially considering from where they came. Well, here are some of the 2024 handguns you should consider this year.
Bond Arms Honey B
The Bond Arms Honey B has been out for a while, but now the company produces it in .22 Mag. While a .22 might not be exactly what one desires for self-defense, it can make a decent, last-ditch option. And while the .22 Mag. might not be a true stopper, it rocks much harder than the .22 LR. Of course, this is just the latest caliber option for the Honey B. This two-shot derringer provides plenty of options in.380 ACP, 9mm and .38 Spl.

Bond Arms Rowdy XL
Those shotgun chambered handguns have been out for a while. In fact, Bond Arms has produced one for a few years now. The Rowdy XL is simply the company’s latest offering in .45 Colt/.410. For this model, Bond combined a better designed grip with a lower price point. The Rowdy XL comes with a B6 Resin extended grip to help manage recoil. It also comes with a robust stainless-steel frame. Finally, the company used a bead-blasted finish, instead of a polish sheen, to reduce costs on this derringer.

Bond Arms Cyclops Thumper .50 AE
Those wanting to thump a target should not overlook the Bond Arms Cyclops Thumper. Introduced in .50 AE this year, this single-shot handgun provides a lot of power in a fairly small package. Part of the secret behind this gun, basically making recoil manageable, is the redesigned grip and the fact that the barrel is the same size as a derringer. This adds a whole lot of metal under the barrel, which adds weight. The design also lowers the bore, so the kick is more back than up. In any case, the Cyclops is a whole lot of handgun, but a viable option for those wanting a big bore without dropping thousands.
Bond Arms Cyclops .50 AE Specs
- Action: Single Action/Single Shot
- Caliber: .50 AE

CZ Shadow 2 Compact
Smaller versions of popular pistols seem to be a theme this year, including the CZ SHADOW 2 COMPACT. Based off the full size, this 9mm semi-auto is smaller for carry. It’s not a whole lot smaller, but it has excellent ergonomics, and it comes with a 15-round magazine. CZ uses a forged aluminum frame, and provides a height-adjustable rear sight and a fiber-optic front sight. It also comes with an optics ready interface.

Colt Blued Python
The Colt Python is one of the most popular revolvers ever made. So, when the company brought it back out, shooters were happy. However, some wanted options other than just stainless. Colt has responded by introducing a blued Python. This .357 Mag. is available in 4.25- and 6-inch versions, both of which come with a highly polished blued barrel and frame. However, the topstrap is matte to reduce glare, and it still comes with the orange ramp front sight.

Daniel Defense H9
Every so often companies introduce something well outside their wheelhouse. Daniel Defense did that with the H9 pistol. However, this company did it right. This striker-fire 9mm combines the ergonomics of the 1911 with the easy shooting and maintenance of a striker-fired pistol. Its low-bore axis reduces muzzle rise, allowing for faster and more accurate follow-up shots. Its modular design also allows easy customization, and its ambidextrous controls makes it easy for right- and left-hand shooters. One of its most interesting features, though, is its 1911-style trigger that provides a straight back trigger pull.

GLOCK has long produced crossovers pistols, where the company attached the slide of one pistol to the frame of another. Well, the company has now produced a version that shooters have been wanting for a while. The G49 combines the G19 frame with the G17 slide. This provides a longer sight radius on the company’s most popular frame. A better sight picture provides more accuracy and less felt recoil.

Kimber KDS9c
The 9mm is probably the most popular round in the country, possibly the world. The 1911 has long been popular with American shooters. So, it makes sense to pair them together, especially by the company that first brought out the affordable, tricked-out 1911. The Kimber KDS9c features an aerospace-grade aluminum frame with fully integrated, cross-hatch texturing. The barrel is fully fluted, crowned and ramped, and it comes standard with a 3.5- to 4.5-pound trigger and two 15-round magazines.

Kimber R7 Mako Tactical
Some might wonder why a 1911 company decided to introduce a polymer striker-fire. Well, because shooters wanted one. And besides, a lot of polymer gunmakers are producing 1911s. So, why not? When Kimber decided to do a polymer pistol, they wanted to make it right. The company started with a frame that features molded stippling for a sure grip, while making it lightweight. It then extended the grip for larger hands and added a low-tilt barrel for recoil that is threaded for suppressors on the R7 Mako Tactical. Shooters can choose between two versions, optics ready or optics installed.

Combining the 1911 with the powerful 10mm isn’t new. But since Nighthawk produces some of the best pistol available, this one should be good. To start, the company meticulously designed a single-port compensator to reduce recoil and muzzle flip. Then, it included a bull barrel and full-length guide rod, along with commander-length spring and reverse plug. It also comes with a polished feed ramp and one-piece magwell.

Rossi The Brawler
Handguns chambered in .45 Colt/.410 have been out for a while and are quite popular. This is mostly because they are an effective deterrent and a blast to shoot. Both of these reasons seem to be why Rossi created The Brawler. This simple break-action and cross-bolt safety handgun is exactly what Rossi claims it to be.
