This part of the handgun (indicated by the red arrow) is called a:

  1. Magazine release

  2. Safety lever

  3. Trigger guard

  4. Hammer

The correct answer is: Trigger guard

The part of the handgun indicated by the red arrow is called the trigger guard. This is the portion of the handgun that surrounds the trigger and is designed to protect it from accidental firing. The other options are incorrect because - The magazine release is usually located on the bottom or side of the gun and is used to release the magazine from the gun. - The safety lever is usually located on the side of the gun and is used to engage or disengage the safety mechanism. - The hammer is located on the back of the gun and is used to strike the firing pin, which ignites the gunpowder in the cartridge. Overall, these options do not accurately describe the part of the handgun indicated by the red arrow, which is exclusively the trigger guard.
