Taurus PT-92. I don't love it like my G19, but they are one hell of a pistol. Although large, they are tough, accurate, 100% reliable, and have better ergonomics that the Beretta. They can be had used in very good condition for $300, and are a bargain.

+1 - mine has never failed me, after thousands of rounds no mechanical problems at all. Pretty accurate, easy to shoot, and cheap to pick up these days. Worth having in the collection

A buddy of mine bought his wife a Bersa Thunder .380 and it has never once hiccupped in all the times we've taken it out shooting.
Another shooting buddy of mine has a Taurus PT92 and though I prefer my Beretta 92FS over it-and HE does as well-his PT92 is quite accurate and reliable. +1 on BOTH. |

Around here, you couldnt give one of those away, a local shop had one priced at $150, and couldn't sell it. Even if you cna get past Ruger's "outlook", I still wouldnt have one. +1 on the witness .45 +20 on the Taurus... |

P-35.
I'm old enough to remember when high-cap 9mm's were unique but damn! '35's point nice

P-38 is a pretty sweet design as well. Granted, given the limited mag capcaity (8 rounds of 9mm), it's not particularly practical by modern standards - or even compared to it's "competitor" the 1911, but I still think it has a great design. |

Darn thing always runs. Feels like it's clunking right along as you shoot it. Had to send mine back to ruger because it wasn't very accurate, and they fixed that. Never had a problem functioning. 10 round mags, 15 factory and aftermarket (crap), 30 rounders, it always runs. Doesn't rust either.

I will freely admit that I neither own nor have ever fired a ruger P89, so my opinion on the subject means nothing (I actually brought it up cause I am considering buying one) HOWEVER, it seems like this pistol gets bashed a lot because of Rugers policies and its looks, whereas owners rave about its reliability. I don't care what a gun looks like and if you dont like guns sold by companies with stupid anti-civillian policies, maybe you should get rid of your HK or Colt. I don't want to start a war over this but I was wondering if anyone has opionions on this pistol's function as opposed to looks or ruger's politics. |

Speak for yourself their buddy, rather have a P89 or P95 over any third world anti-American built gun on the market. If politics was our deciding factors on guns most certainly we wouldn't buy any eastern block country guns or South American made guns or for that matter European guns. Their one time mistaken political position since reversed doesn't change the fact that the guns are totaly reliable and excellent value for your dollar and made in the USA. They are hands down the most unsung handguns on the market for regardless of US manufacture, very high reliability, excellent construction, and good acuracy people still prefer foriegn made guns over them. One day our ecomomy is going to crash like an 18 wheeler with an asleep driver and we will park our Honda's, pull our Glocks out, and stick them in our mouth the whole time wondering WTF happened.

That was my choice as well. People seem to either be fanatically devoted to the M1911 or into the modern pistols (Glock, SiG, Beretta ect). The High Power seems to get ignored and it's a shame. Best pointing pistols made and JMB's last design. |

I remember when everyone said the CZ was the grail of pistol shooting and they were crazy expensive.
Then the wall came down and only one IPSC guy out of ten bought one before the AWB, and now no-one uses one. They are nice. |

I agree wholeheartedly. Say what you want about Ruger's politics, they build some fine guns. A little clunky, a WHOLE LOT overbuilt but great guns. I originally bought my P89DC to test my reloads when I bought my reloader since they are so strong. In testing, Ruger cut the slide away below the ejection port of one P85 (which is pretty close to the P89, the P89 is an updated P85) and shot it. It shot everything they put through it just fine without noticable slide deformation. They also took a P85 and threaded the inside of the barrel for a plug. Said plug extended into the barrel to about 1" from a chambered bullet. They then shot it. I can't remember if it needed a new extractor or not but, after that, they replaced the barrel and shot it some more. It worked perfectly. How many Sigs, Berettas, CZs or what have you can do that? I like my Ruger weapons. I have a 10/22, a MkII, a P89 and a GP100. I'd stake my life on ANY of them. Plenty accurate and reliable, even if the P89 doesn't feel as good in the hand as a lot of other weapons. I added a set of Hogue fingergroove grip panels and it feels a whole lot better than the factory grip panels, for me anyway. I'll also +3 or +4 or whatever for the Makarov. DA trigger pull kinda sucks but accurate, reliable and built like a Kalashnikov, in other words it should last forever! Bub Edited to add: While I don't know if Ruger is selling hi-cap Mini-14 mags to the general public, they are selling 15rd 9mm pistol mags and, I think, 11 or 12rd .40 mags, whatever the .40 mag capacity is. They are even selling stainless ones, which I don't think they were before the ban, all I could find from Ruger then was blued. As soon as I get some spare $$$, I'm getting some of the stainless ones. We'll see what happens from Ruger since Bill Sr kicked off. IIRC, the Mini-14 mag thing was his brainchild. |

If, by "pistol" you actually mean "handgun", then I say ALL the good quality DA revolvers are unsung mostly these days. If you mean "pistol" then the P35 and CZ75 get my vote. Excellent handguns, both with the P35 feeling better to me, but the CZ being more reliable out of the box.

I love my Walther P-5. Most accurate pistol I have ever owned. If you're including revolvers the S&W Military and Police and Colt Official Police are two classics that are overlooked.
The OP is especially great as you are getting a revolver with the same lock work as a Python at a fraction of the cost. And usually the well used specimens have the greatest triggers you'll ever find. |
