Website for Handgun Stats and Rankings

[D3vo]

You may already know about this site, but it's new to me.

I liked it so much I am posting the link.

Genitron.com - The Handgun Information Resource - Home Page

The Search Handguns and Compare Handguns links give you access to Genitron.com's online database of handguns. Here you have tools to search for and compare any handgun in the database. A new ranking feature has been added to give you a measure of a handgun's power, recoil and self-defense status.

The ALL NEW Stats and Rankings link provides general statistics about the handgun database. It also has a tool for ranking the Top 100 handgun models based on the four primary rank categories; Power Factor, Recoil Factor, Concealability and Defense Factor, along with selection filters such as handgun type and caliber.

The Manufacturer List link provides information on all the major handgun manufacturers and importers with links to their websites and searches into Genitron.com's handgun database by manufacturer.

The Handgun Basics link provides educational and other general handgun related information, including fully animated and interactive illustrations of the internal operation of a semiautomatic pistol and revolver.

The Handgun Reviews section has hands-on reviews of many popular modern handguns. This section is updated periodically.

The 360 Degree Views section provides animated interactive full rotational views of many of the handguns featured on this website. You can view these handguns from any angle.

Just a quick look and I see that this site has Taurus pistols ranked above Sigs and M & P's in the defense category.

There is a lot of information for sure but I would not necessarily call it "good"

[Guest Law of Thirds]

Yes, the information clearly shows that the balance and ranks are based on a biased standard towards one particular result.

Overall, it's a nice way of seeing what's available though.

What result are they bias toward?

Some of results I did not expect, but I didn't recognize a pattern driving to a predetermined result.

+1 .... i compared quite a few makes & models and didn't see much of a bias?

According to this site, Glock > 1911.

According to this site, Glock > 1911.

I wonder where the bias is. . . Though I'm a 1911 guy!

[Guest cheez]

To say that ANY Taurus is a better defense gun than most Glocks, Sigs, M & P Smiths, Berettas, HK's is either extremely biased or just downright ignorant. I don't mean to bash Taurus pistols. They have their place in the gun world like anything else. They are just simply not "top of the line" equipment.

I personally wouldn't say any Taurus is unacceptable, but as a whole I agree with you. I found the Defense Ranking criteria and it does not include quality or reliability. Perhaps quality or reliability should be a part of the formula, but for now all guns are assumed to go bang.
