If its any consolation I also enjoy my 1911, with bullseye powderpuff handloads. But yes, my serious guns are Glock.

I'm 1992 I was carrying a Safari Arms commander 1911 in .45 ACP. I've still got it. Needs some work, some parts went missing at some point. Dammit. It was the most accurate 1911 I've ever carried.

Don't try to get back in my good graces by saying you love 1911s. Lies and deception are the ways of Gaston Glock.

There is nothing good about you.

I had a Jim Hoag Series 70.  I ran thousands and thousands of rounds through that gun. From handloads to hollowpoints. Anne the only time it ever failed me was when the extractor broke. After 23 years of shooting it.  I feel bad for people who don't know the beauty of a 1911.

Glocks are just reliable utility weapons.  There has always been, and will always be, better, smoother, more accurate handguns.

Ideally (knowing what I know now):



BHP Mk.III "Practical"

Possible Replacement for BHP (since I was biased against autos at the time, being young, and taught to shoot by a confirmed revolver guy(s)).



686 CS-1 (3") also acceptable would be a 65/64 3" RB.

BUG/NPE/"Minimum" Gun (what I was actually carrying at the time)



S&W Model 36 (would change to a 60 like I did later).

Incidentally, the P226/229 and Beretta 92 series are a lot prettier without a rail on the front, albeit not as practical.

But I remember reading an article when I was a kid about a dude that had a Mac 10 in .380 built into his briefcase, so maybe that.

In 1992 I was carrying a S&W 5903, then I switched to a Beretta 92FS.  I still have the 92.  I regret selling the 5903.  If I could have afforded it at the time, I would have gone with a P226.

I bought my first pistol--a NIB Glock Gen. 2 G22 in the summer of 1991.  I got on board pretty early and started reloading for the 40 in early '95.

I believe I paid $387 out the door with an original NY trigger.

I'd go with exactly the same thing I went with back then, when the Glock had been invented.

These:
In the early 90's my agency didn't have a list of authorized, personally owned handguns for duty carry. We could carry anything as long as our District Firearms Officer checked it out for function, certified our qualification with it on the agency firearms course, and approved it. I was qualified with and carried two of my HK P7M13 pistols (not at the same time, but, one at a time). Much better than any Grock abortion.

I also went with one of these: The picture was taken in 2009 before I sold it (My mistake for selling it, but, I was funding another acquisition).

Yep.

A little after they moved over to "Custom Shop Only" and were renamed Python Elite.

But there were more Pythons around in 1992 than now, thats for sure, still pricey though.

The Trooper MK.III, Model 19 and 66 Smiths were everywhere and CHEAP, though.
