What's YOUR Most Easily Pointing Handgun?

[otasan56]

Great closed-eye shooting! Back on page one, that is.

I'd say my Beretta PX4 full size, but my Xdm 4.5 .45 points pretty damn good too. I don't really have pointing issues with any of my handguns, but these two are the best. The Beretta, in particular, works very well for me.

Ruger Standard (MKI?) by a country mile.

 

[Analogkid]

My Polish Tokarev.

I'll have to amend my previous:
1911s for familiarity.
My 1917s just 'cause.
Charter Arms Target Bulldog .44 - weirdly perfect.

And say that they all get trumped by this one which just popped up on my screen saver while in a turkey induced stupor.

Among the things that I like about these over their Colt peers is the fact that they swing like an 8 inch extension of my index finger (a really heavy extension) tops the list.

Thank God for differences of opinion, or this sure would be a boring forum! I can tell you that I shoot a lot of different handguns, and over the years can honestly say that you CAN adapt to a particular gun or grip, and get results. BUT, there have been guns that I just picked up, and POINTED (as some have indicated, without the use of sights, hip shooting, etc), and gotten astounding results. I remember my first 8 shots from an HK PSP{ back in the 80's). Six of the eight hit a 4x4 post at 12-15 yards. There are days on the range that my S&W Hand .45 Hand Ejector with standard grips gives me good results, as does a Hi Power, or PPk. Sometimes shooting other guns detracts from that natural pointing, and I have to relax, and let it come back. But it's that INITIAL superior performance, or ease with which some guns work for some people. Would you believe it if a guy was a die hard 1911 guy, and he just picked uip a Beretta M9 and shot it better than his 1911's? I've seen that kind of thing happen. Believe what you want, but what gun points best for YOU was the question.

S&W M&P 9. I basically lift my arm up and the gun does the rest.

Natural pointing pistol...

The top two pistols that were naturally pointing for me are the h&k p7 and the h&k p30. I have carried Sigs, glocks and s&w pistols and none of them pointed as naturally for me as the h&k's

 

[AFDavis11]

I think I may have always bought revolvers for reliability and autos based on "point ability". The SAA points naturally, thats a given, and my 1911 and Walther PPK/S do well also. My revolvers have to be aimed, all the way through the trigger pull. I liked the XD-9 because it was so similar to the 1911.

I'm pretty certain a long elegant Flintlock dueling pistol would point well. Maybe I should consider a really old school carry piece!

Pardini SP

 

[otasan56]

Five pages and I am one of the few choosing the Glock pistol.

 

[tubeshooter]

For me it is a tie between a 4" Security Six and a 6" Ruger MK III Standard (pencil barrel).


Honorable mention goes to a 4 5/8" Blackhawk.

 

[Lo8080]

Beretta P4 storm

 

[montanaoffroader]

1851 Navy
SAA

I have learned to shoot other platforms fairly well, but old style Colts still seem the most natural to me.........

 

[Pukindog12]

Walther P99 AS in 9mm.

 

[Serenity]

My Sig p226 come right back to aim very easily and feels like it points naturally. But my S&W Model 67 feels like it points itself; it is my confidence builder. I take a break from more demanding stuff that I am working on with the 9mm and shoot a set of 38 spec. and immediately feel better about myself.

 

[Creature]

I was very impressed with the Caracal C that I recently about fondled to death. It was like I was pointing my finger.

 

[shafter]

Definitely an 1860 Army Colt.

A Smith and Wesson Model 10 is another fantastic pointer.

I never thought I'd say this but the Glock 19 points extremely well also.

 

[hso]

BHP points as if I was born with it clutched in my hand.

 

[scotjute]

Ruger SP-101 with 3" barrell.

 

[popper]

Ruger MIII, it was designed that way. PX4 second.

 

[Brian Williams]

Best round butt S&W models 10, 13 et.al.
tight grip 1911A1
open grip, Glock 19 and Colt woodsman

 

[Zombiphobia]

Colt-based.

1851 Navy revolver and Heritage Rough Rider .22 are the best-pointing handguns I own.

 

[Armored farmer]

4 5/8" Blackhawk.

 

[SleazyRider]

For me, nothing comes close to the CZ82.
