Suppose you knew that you were about to face multiple bad guys and were forced to take a handgun to the fight.
No rifles or shotguns. No nukes. Not "what do you carry"? But, if you had a choice, what would you bring to the fight. And one caveat. You must presently own that handgun.  |

My Remington Rand 1911A1 - it's super-reliable, accurate as all heck, and I'm very familiar with it. I guess I'll just have to make every shot count due to the low mag capacity

Multiple attackers, you're forced into confrontation, you can only take a handgun (no subguns, rifles, or shotguns).
Easy choice: SV double-stack. 40SW loaded long to 10mm power with 180gr Gold Dots. 20+1 capacity. Recoils like a 9mm.  [ link to LARGER image ] |

Sig 220 with as many extra loaded mags as I could carry. That is if I were FORCED to defend myself against several attackers with a pistol. I would of course always prefer a rifle. Pistols are just long bayonets. Zen "This is my rifle, there are many like it, but this one is mine" |

The standard Sig mags. for the 226 9mm hold 13 rounds. I have some aftermarket mags which I can squeeze 15 rnds into - but my experience of reliability of those mags. has not been good. Have you really tried seriously using those mags? |

Need help guys. Do I go with the H&K USP.45 with 10 round mags or the Sig P226 with 15 round mags? Assume identical proficiency with both and equal amount of ammo.

I'll be honest...I thought about this after reading the "Why Should I Get a 1911" thread.
If I had to depend on a pistol, I would grab this one:  |
|
|
|
Posted: 10/29/2004 12:08:45 PM EDT
[#36]
A F/A AR15 pistol, if the threat is under 40 yards.
Or a Micro Uzi in 10mm. Or an SP89 converted to 10mm. Edit. If I had to use one I own, it would be my 226. Its hard to argue with two rounds to the head at 30 yards. It's almost as accurate as my Les Baer Monolith, and since it is about shot placement and a follow up shot, 9mm would do. |

Didn't know they made 13 rd mags for the P226 in 9mm. All mine are 15 rders. To answer the question... HK USP 9mm w/15 rders, or Walther P99 w/16 rders or the backup SW99 compact in 40. |

Glock21, though years ago I remember reading about some fish and game officers that qualified at the same time as some other police officers. The game wardens still had 6 shot .357s while the others had various high capacity pistols. The game wardens scored better on their initials shots, presumably because they were taking a little more time to aim because they knew they only had 6 shots.
I'd still rather have my Glock, but I'm not sure I'd be that bad off with my Colt Python, I doubt I could ever reload it under pressure if I fired all six shots, but having shot metal plates with it, those six shots sure make an impression. |

Arghh ... you are right - 226 is 15rnds. I was thinking of the 9mm 229 - that is 13 rnds ... |

You are 100% incorrect. I only own sig factory mags (and a lot of them) and they are definitely 15 rounders. Perhaps you are thinking of the 228/229 in 9mm? Those are 13 rounds. ETA:
You don't know what gun you carry? or don't know how many rounds it holds? Either is pretty scary IMO. |

It's actually my buddy's and he loaned it to me years ago and doesn't shoot pistols much anymore. I'm no expert but it has the nicest trigger of anything I own (edit-Fruedian slip anything I have in my possession I guess ). I like my Glocks but that baby sure is a regular Hammer of Thor POW!
