what are some of your favorite pistols?
|
|
Use to have a USPT, a 1911, and a Walther P99 in 40 S&W. All were good reliable, quality guns.
But now I only own a G17 and a Ruger Mark I .22 They get the job done. |
|
I live my glock 17. I use it for competition. |

Dam right dat da eagle wit da beamz! |

|
yes, those of us who dont live in the 40's actually carry reliable firearms |
|
|
Glock foaty, but only if your professional enough to shoot it.
|
|
My XD9 and my Delta Gold Cup (only pistols I own).
Shot a .40 Sig 229, and it was really nice. |
|
Well, since you asked about "favorite" pistols, and not necessarily the best for defense....
I have a Colt Gold Cup .45 ACP that is an amazingly accurate pistol. If I do my part, it will simply rag out one ragged hole in the target. I shoot my reloads of 200 grain lead SWC bullets over a light charge of WW-231 powder. It is a pleasure to shoot. |
|
Almost all kinds (with obvious exceptions like high points, jennings, etc.)... but especially:
HK's SIG's quality/custom 1911's Beretta M9 FN/Browning High Power Makarov CZ Glocks |
|
S&W model 65 .357 Most accurate weapon I have ever had the pleasure to shoot.
|

Don't be hatin' My 1911A1 is increidbly reliable. The unreliable ones are the fancy-schamncy moderns ones with their high prices tags and need to be "tuned" and tweaked and whatnot. A regular 1911A1 - preferably USGI - is incredibly reliable. The PROBLEM with it in my mind is purely the limited magazine capacity. If someone insists on .45, the Glock 21 has almost twice the capacity. |

I'm just trying to counter the glock hate around here |

Good Joke . I hear there is a new movie coming out. Its called the Kaboominator. Bout a guy that goes to some plastic pistol that keeps blowing up and killing it's owners. DK is right tho. My older, and plain jane 1911s run perfectly fine. My newer one's with cast parts are nowhere as reliable. Down to one left. All my others are as God and JMB intended. |

I own or have owned
Beretta 92f Sig220 S&W model 10 Ruger sp101 Various glocks ranging from 9mm to .40 cal XD9 And I would say that I havent really had any problems with any of them. But I keep my guns really clean. Learn the manual of arms for each gun. Then go rent some at a range (even if you have to drive an hour to do it. It's better to spend the time than end up with a gun you aren't fond of.) Then buy watcha like |

SIG P232 - a wonderful little .380 that I have really been enjoying lately.
|
|
Favorites include: 1911, Browning Hi-Power (great carry gun), Walther P5, Walther P99 compact, Sig 226,and HK Tactical. Also, I am very interested in the new SIG SAO can't remember the model number. There's plenty of high quality semi's out there.

i tried, they are hard to find. |
|
|
I love my Glocks. I carry a Glock 26 as my daily carry, and I just replaced my Sig 226 with a Glock 19 for work.
Glocks rule. |
|
I'll go ahead and second, or third, or twenty-fifth, the 1911.
H&K USP is good, but not if you're used to shooting a 1911. To me, at least. Walther PPK I've been DYING to shoot a beretta 92. Never have! |
|
DAMN!!! My 1911's are very reliable, wanna find out? Travis |

+1 Except I carry a XD 9mm SC BUG as well. |
|
|
Ruger Single Six Glock 19 All prelock, prepassive firing pin Smith and Wesson revolvers particularly the 642, K22, and 66 Ruger Mark series 22 autos DAO Sig pistols esp the 239 |
|
My SA 1911, Colt Combat Commander, I love my wheelguns as well, Ruger Blackhawks, Smith 686.
|

I tell ya'.. just a couple of days ago I picked up my first Hi Power. It's an FN MkIII in .40 and even though I haven't had it out to the range yet, I'm liking the heck out of it.
Otherwise, I enjoy my Walther P99 .40, my 1911s, and then there is my .357 Blackhawk that I don't shoot nearly enough. Also, while not a joy to shoot, I like my Taurus M444 Ultralite for those days I want to made to write hot checks. |
|
I was deeply pleased with my Hi-Power.
My next pistol will be a .45 though. Still in the selction process. |
|
My XD 9...it's a machine, hasn't had a failure of any kind and I have put 5k through it in the last 6 months.
|
|
My S&W 500...sometimes I just sit and stare at it
For carry,,,my S&W 360 and I'm hoping to replace it with the taurus millenium pro .45 with 10+1 |
|
You know what they say? A watched Glock never blows up! |
|
|
1911 Kimber or Wilson
Sig 226 Walther PPK/s S&W version Sig 239 Glock 27 XD's and CZ's are next on my pistol agenda HH |
