Taurus 917C
Best high capacity sidearm for budget conscious enthusiasts.
This is a high-capacity workhorse that bridges the gap between a full-size service pistol and a carry-ready defensive tool. You sacrifice the slim profile of a subcompact for significantly more rounds and better recoil control, making it a practical choice for those who prioritize shootability over absolute concealment.
