The term 'Saturday Night Special' refers to inexpensive, small-caliber, compact handguns often of poor quality. The Gun Control Act of 1968 significantly impacted their availability by prohibiting imports, leading to the rise of domestic manufacturers. The term itself has been associated with racial overtones, and discussions around firearm affordability highlight its impact on individuals of lesser means.
