Ammo I'd be carrying:



9BPLE for the BHP



357B (now known as C357B, aka "The King of the Street, the legendary "Full Power" .357 Magnum.



P38MA (Nyclad 38 Special, "The Chief's Special Load".)

And my HD gun would be a pretty much stock Remington 870 "Wingmaster" 18.5 barrel with a brass bead and side saddle, back in the day I shot #4 Buckshot or 00 (whatever was cheapest) before swapping over to Flight Control #1 (or FC 8 pellet 00 when #1 is unavailable).

S&W 3913 for CC, no doubt

A carbine that isn't available now with a different moniker doesn't come immediately to mind.

My old man had one back then too (I was only 16 in '92) and I thought it was a nice shooter. He hit "peak pistol" right around 92-93 and topped out at 46 pistols in his collection.

If I had to choose though I'd probably go 1911, was a favorite of mine back then and have had one myself since.

It's far from the most accurate pistol I've ever had, but it works.

To this day: I have a small basketball team of T guns that should not be in equal company with other brands of better repute, according to ARF. Why? I hear they're shitty.

All guns are range toys; no safe queens for me. Brasil makes have gone bang when they should, and have been around for YEARS.

Back to topic. I've made my entry. If I could have a lil bit of time after the cutoff? 4013 TSW, railed. Two times.

I like DAO S&W guns, so I'll go with what I have owned in the past.

4546
4586
5946
6946
3943

If I'm limited to just two, then 4546 & 3953.  Same round count, same action.  The 4586 would carry a little easier, but the 4546 was very accurate for me.

Puzzling. The wording of the OP is up for for interpretation. As in, “it’s 1992 and .40 S&W and Glock are never invented..” Now, the intent may be a 10mm love thread, but in order for there to be no .40 S&W, it stands to reason that there could’ve been no 10mm to precede it.

Or did 10mm exist, and never devolve into .40? Do Glocks exist, or did this Mandelian time shift erase Gaston from history. Or, did he never develop his Safe Action Pistol and just make 1911’s or some other silliness instead?

OP has my head all full of fuck.

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.

Ten years further back (1982) I was carrying a Colt Combat Commander in .45 acp with 5 eight round magazines.  One in the pistol and four on the duty belt.  Winter time back up was a 2&3/4" stainless steel Speed Six with six 125 grain hollow points in it and two more HKS speed loaders in the left hand coat pocket.  Summer time back up was a very small .22 semi auto (can't remember the brand, but people laughed at it till I put six hollow points into a grapefruit sized target at 15 yds. over and over with no malfunctions.  It was in my left shirt pocket behind the pocket stiffener we used to keep the badge from making the shirt/pocket sag and an extra magazine was in the opposite pocket.

My rifle was an M1A with a few 20 round magazines and a Bushnell 4X12 BDC scope (from the days with Bausch and Lomb made those scopes).  It has the same scope on it today, thousands of rounds later.  The speed six is loaded and on top a tall clothes cabinet in the bedroom.  The Combat Commander is in the safe.  The little .22 is somewhere in the attic on a shelf and I haven't seen it in 30 years or more.

If were forced to carry a 9MM I don't know what I'd have used.  I don't like decockers, I don't like safeties on the slide.  Maybe I'd have been lucky enough to find a CZ75.  I carry one of those today and I know they fit me and are good to go.  Back then my mind was still tainted concerning M16/AR15 rifles due to my military experiences vs. the M14 (the reason I had my M1A.)

Yes since the .40 S&W was it own development.

The history of the .40 S&W started when a gentleman form South Africa came to the United States. Mr. Paul Liebenberg; many know him for his work in S&W's Performance Center and the excellent craftsmanship he has done. But when he first came to the US he started working for Pachmyar Gun Works. He worked on a side project known as the Centimeter Cartridge. It was to replace the .38 Super for IPSC and was also part of what Whit Collin's went into making the .40 G&A. Collin's wanted a replacement cartridge for IPSC when he worked on the .40 G&A with Col. Jeff Cooper.

Well, Mr. Liebenberg left Pachmayr and founded his own company; Pistol Dynamics. From there he made a friend; Tom Campbell. Campbell and Liebenberg worked on the Centimeter Cartridge and tried to get S&W interested in it. Which eventually happened. Then president of the company; Steve Melvin approached Liebenberg about converting a couple of their new 3rd Gen 5906s. Liebenberg obliged and the .40 S&W that we know today was born.

Mr. Liebenberg was working on it when Jeff Cooper had Norma draw up 10x25mm Norma.
