The Best New Handguns Releasing In 2024
From refreshing updates to the standard fare to a few surprising product launches at SHOT Show, gun owners are spoiled for choice when it comes to selecting their next handgun in 2024. Here are our picks for the top seven new revolvers and pistols releasing this year.
Diamondback SDR
The Diamondback SDR is an affordable snub-nose revolver chambered in .357 Magnum / .38 Special that has been optimized for concealed carry. It has an exposed spurred hammer, overmolded rubber grips, an enhanced cylinder release, and a fiber optic front sight - in many ways outclassing the previous king of budget-friendly revolvers, the Ruger SP101.
Shadow Systems XR920P
Shadow Systems' new XR920P is equipped with a unique shortened compensator that reduces muzzle flip and felt recoil while still allowing the pistol to fit most standard Glock 17 holsters. With an optics-ready slide, you have a pistol that is ready for competition or duty use right out of the box.
Taurus 605 Executive Grade
With tons of premium features at an amazing price point, the Taurus 605 Executive Grade in .357 Magnum is designed for concealed carry. It's sleek design, 5-round cylinder, fiber optic front sight, and 3" barrel offer the optimal balance of shootability and concealment for EDC.
Daniel Defense H9
After multiple rounds of development and testing, Daniel Defense is finally releasing their completely redesigned H9 pistol in 2024. We were thoroughly impressed during our time with the H9 at SHOT Show last month and can confidently say that this pistol consistently delivers on all fronts.
Canik TTI Combat
Canik's collaboration with acclaimed competitive shooter Taran Butler has produced one of the most eye-catching pistols hitting store shelves this year. It ships with several enhanced features that aid handling and performance, plus it utilizes an extended baseplate for an impressive 21-round capacity.

Beretta APX A1 Compact Tactical
New from Beretta, this scaled-down variant of the APX A1 has a threaded barrel and a standard capacity of 15+1. The APX A1 Compact Tactical is designed to meet virtually any mission parameters, featuring suppressor-height sights and an optics plate that is compatible with most red dots on the market.

Walther PDP Steel Frame
The steel frame model of the incredible Walther PDP offers improved ergonomics for red dot shooters, with an optimized grip angle that allows for quick and instinctive target acquisition. And as we've come to expect from Walther, the PDP Steel Frame has a smooth, crisp trigger that sets the standard for all other striker-fired pistols in 2024.
