Gun violence is becoming increasingly common in the United States. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there were over 500 mass shootings in 2024, up from fewer than 350 as recently as 2018. Even though active shooter incidents account for only a small fraction of deadly gun violence, the number of gun-related fatalities have also increased by over 40% in the last nine years of available data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Criminal misuse of firearms is by no means limited to homicide. Each year in the United States, tens of thousands of firearms are linked to cases of assault, attempted murder, burglary, drug trafficking, and robbery.

Every firearm is a deadly weapon that can be misused for illegal purposes. But data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives show that certain types of firearms are far more likely to be used to commit crimes than others.

Using 2023 ATF firearm tracing data, 24/7 Wall St. identified the firearm calibers most likely to be used for crime. Federal firearm tracings offer a rough approximation of gun crime. When firearms are recovered at a crime scene or taken from a suspect, they are often reported to the ATF for tracing. In these cases, the ATF assists in criminal investigations by using serial numbers and other markings to determine when and where a firearm was originally purchased. While not all guns traced by the ATF were used in a crime — and not all firearms used for illicit purposes are traced — federal tracing data offers valuable insight into gun violence trends in the United States.

Pistols are far more likely to be linked to be used for crime than any other type of firearm. Pistols accounted for nearly 75% of all traced firearms nationwide in 2023, and in all but a handful of states, pistols account for over half of all gun tracings. Not only are pistols easily concealable, unlike rifles or shotguns, they are also the best-selling type of firearm in the United States. As indicated by ATF manufacturing data, pistols have outsold every other firearm in the U.S. nearly every year since 2010. As of 2022, more than 6.1 million pistols were made domestically, compared to fewer than 3.6 million rifles, the second most popular type of firearm. (Here is a look at the best selling pistols of 2024.)

Not surprisingly, many of the gun calibers most commonly linked to crime are pistol calibers. These include .380, .40, .22, and, most of all, 9mm. Of the over half a million firearms traced by the ATF in 2023, about 46% were chambered for 9mm ammunition — and 9mm was the most commonly traced caliber in every state in the country in 2023. The firearm calibers most commonly linked to crime tend to reflect the overall ubiquity of the given caliber. For example, 9mm pistols accounted for nearly 30% of all domestically manufactured firearms in 2022, and for over 60% of all domestically manufactured pistols, according to ATF. (Here is a look at the states with the strongest gun laws.)
