Probably going to have to go with the VP-70. Why? Because few people seem to realize that H&K invented the Glock.

Yep, it was a...GAME CHANGA! NEVA BEEN DONE BEFO!

Most overrated handgun would be the Taurus Judge. There are damn few questions where the correct answer is ".410 birdshot"

Underrated would be the P series of Ruger pistols.

Agreed,

645 was better.

. 2nd Gen was SWEET.

1st SW auto .45acp BTW.

Steyr M9 - fixed the ergonomics in a plastic pistol 10 years ago

S&W1911PD - They got the external extractor right (extremely reliable 1911)

Colt Delta 10mm - it's got Delta in the name what more do you want, whats more tactical than Delta

38 Super & 41mag should be more popular

I get the votes for the CZ75s, but clearly none of you have ever put a Ruger SR9c through its paces.

Granted, I have the Ghost trigger in mine and plan to get some night sights, but the pistol is pretty much flawless as is.

CZ's or Makarov's

Posted: 6/1/2012 7:49:26 PM EDT

[#23]

Definitely CZ 75. I shot with some buddies a few weeks ago. None of them had even heard of CZ. They were all Glock, M&P, or HK shooters. After trying out my Shadow they were astonished. One of them literally said "oh fuck, what the hell is this" after firing it.

Of all time this gets my vote as well

Actually I would vote for the HK P9s, the most accurate gun out of the box that I have ever seen. The stock trigger on those is amazing, and it has a very thick barrel. Wish I would have kept mine

All third generation Smith semi autos. I own 5 of them, all in 9mm. I want more.

I need a CS9 and I want a 4006 and a 4506, and a 1006 would be nice, hear that Santa?

Quoted:
Ruger P series.

+1

My dad gave me a stainless P95DC. I thought it was a touch clunky at first, but that thing is freaking bombproof. It is also accurate and has a good trigger. It feeds flawlessly from factory and aftermarket mags, and the mags are available at places like academy sports.

Agreed . I've had two P-89's and a P-95 , and all worked flawlessly . My dad has my latest P-89 as his HD pistol and I really need another .

Posted: 6/1/2012 9:04:41 PM EDT

Another one for the Ruger P series of pistols.My P95 is as reliable as can be.

Also to add : FEG hi-power clones, Mak's,RIA 1911's, Most of the new Turkish handguns now coming to the U.S.A.

'Nother vote for the P99. Walther created a masterpiece and nobody bothered to listen.

Glock 19

CZ-75 and the parade of knock-offs, clones, and action copiers.

Most underrated - Russian Makarov - $275.

Ruger P series are ugly, but good.

High Power

Came to post this. The 1911 may have been the first modern handgun, but the high power set the bar for high capacity semi-autos.

+1 on the Ruger P-Series. The P91 is a brick but shoots flawlessly

Ignore the 1911

Steyr GB

I've had 2 and still have 1......it was the best of the wondernines, arguably the most attractive. Nice grip, super accurate, reliable as hell, durable as hell. 18 round magazines make the thing a blast to shoot. My first one I had for many years and shot many rounds through it.

Too bad it's not a cocked n locked design.

My FN-P 45 has 15 + 1 in the pipe. So....requalify 45s or......I'll hold my breath 'till................. I turn blue.

High Power

Do you know what "under rated" means? The Hi Power has been in production since 1935, was used by both sides during WW2, over 70 countries adopted it as their sidearm, and it's long been recognized as the original "Wondernine."
