In simple terms, handling is primarily best described as the rate of fire and reload time. This is because the game does not completely have conventional guns and heavy weapons; its arsenal consists largely of bows and arrows. This is thanks to the game's setting in a very post-apocalyptic world.
Primarily it improves accuracy which means your ammo has a better chance of actually hitting what you are aiming at, especially over distance. You'll really notice this when aiming at either small objects or specific parts of machines. Ever aimed at a Watcher "eye" only to see your arrow fly past hitting nothing but air? Increasing Handling will allow you to hit more often and therefore miss less often.
Secondly it improves your reload speed which means you'll be able to reload ammo faster, which then allows you to fire more often.
