Service Handgun Market

Global Service Handgun Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global service handgun market is forecasted to be growing at a CAGR of 2.66% during the forecast period.

A service handgun is a gun or firearm given to a soldier or law enforcement officer. Service guns are generally semi-automatic revolvers or pistols issued to public officials and police officers. Still, service guns can also be given to Special Forces as a backup of the primary weapon. However, handguns are generally not granted to first-line infantry.

The global service handgun market is rapidly evolving with great demand worldwide. As defense budgets increase in developing and emerging economies, the service gun market is expected to replace old guns within law enforcement and military forces. It will multiply in developing nations in the coming years to overcome the slowdown in the United States, which has reached saturation. The main drivers of the service handgun market will be India, China, and the Middle East in the future. Service guns are issued to defense and law enforcement personnel, which can be revolvers or pistols with a mouth speed of 370-380 m/s, in most cases up to 50 meters. But for revolvers, the maximum firing range extends to 250 meters. Many countries, especially developing countries, used guns such as Vietnam's Makarov guns in the 1960s. Therefore, the opportunities for many countries to replace or modernize lateral weapons are enormous, and manufacturers are encouraged to take advantage of this.
