I am trying to make a low poly Desert Eagle gun. I have it basically molded out and ready to be mirrored but one issue i am running into. Where the handle is, there is a missing face and I for some reason cannot fix it, I have tried merging certain vertices with no good outcome. :( Please help me, I am going to upload my maya file and if you can please take a look and see what I am doing wrong, and if you dont mind, give me some feedback on how you think the start of it is. :)

Thanks in advance guys!

When mirroring, you should snap all the border vertices to the y-axis.

Also, the two bigger faces on the inside between the handle and the barrel are not connected properly. Delete them and extrude the edges on the now open part of the handle twice to match the edges on the outer side of the handle. The second extrusion shouldn't go all the way to the top, as previously, but instead only up to the edges on the lower part of the barrel. After that, merge vertices.

Hope that helps
cheers
