Hall of FAME ( What about your favorite )

[Handy]

While I think the P7M8 is a better combat pistol, my vote is going to the HK P9S.

This gun is so satisfying to handle, shoot and disassemble. It is one of the most accurate pistols I've ever shot, has never hiccuped, and the action actually reduces recoil, just by the way it works. Mine is 9mm, but the .45 models have ridiculously little recoil.

When you disassemble the gun, you're treated to internal components that look like something NASA built, rather than a gun company. Yet the mechanism is all simple and straightforward. The polygonal bore is so smooth, it appears to be a twisted tube.

Overall design, from the rugged firing pin to the excellent trigger, ergonomics and first rate combat sights just puts the shooter at his best. This is the easiest centerfire pistol to teach someone to shoot.

There are no liabilities, either. It feeds everything, and can not possibly bite the shooter. It works with any suppresor design. It is not affected by lead bullets. All stressed components are steel.

My all time fav....P7M8! Unique, still gets ooohs & ahhhs and shoots great!

Right now, my current "best" is a Kimber Eclipse II Target .45. I have more confidence in my ability to hit with this gun than any other that I currently own.

My all time fave was lost to burglars about 2 years ago; a Freedom Arms .357 with a nine inch barrel. It would shoot amazingly small groups off of sandbags with a variety of loads, and was the most accurate normal handgun (i.e., not an XP 100 or a TC single shot) that I have ever owned.

My current favorite is my Performance Center 952-1 9mm.

It fits my hand. The trigger is light and crisp. It's accurate and highly reliable. No failures.

That's like asking which of your children you love most. I have Kimbers,Colts,S&W's, Rugers, CZ's, a T/C Contender and a Beretta. They all serve different functions. If I had to pick just one, it would probably be my Contender with a lot of different barrels.

For many reasons

hi power. Got all the H's covered for me.
History - because JMB and 1935 don't start with H
heft - I like the feel of an all metal gun
hicaps (affordably so) - Anything to make the anti's mad
handsome - Could it be any better looking?
honey's present to me - The one that really matters! This was a gift from my wife, and the one that started me into a more "serious" world of gun ownership. Before I had "country" guns...single, SXS, pump and semi shotguns, .22 semi rifle, etc and hunted, plinked and busted clay pigeons. Now my interests have grown into IDPA and 3 gun competitions .... and I've gotten a lot more engaged too. Gone from occasional shooting to couple times a week.

AND I'M LOVIN IT

I know its hard to believe and I will prefix it with I got a Glock, I got an HK and others but my favorite is my Charles Daly Field grade 45.

To me this is like asking a mechanic what is your favorite tool in your toolbox.
So I'm going to do mine by handgun type barrel lentgh and caliber.
Also I made my choices by a equal balance of accuracy and reliability:

Revolvers:
.44Mag- Ruger-Redhawk 7-1/2"bbl*

.357Mag- Ruger GP-100 6"bbl*
S&W 66 2-1/2"bbl

Pistols:
.45ACP- Colt Series '70 Gov't Model w/Wilson bbl & bushing, S&W adj, sights, speed safety and trigger job.

10mm- S&W 1006*

.40S&W- Glock 23

.9mm- Glock 17L

*These I no longer own but they were the best I owned in that type and caliber.

SIG P226 9mm

SIG P226 9mm. Never had a single problem with this pistol, I love it!!! Granted, it's the only pistol I own, but I've shot many handguns, and none have been as nice as this.

FEG PJK9HP Hi-Power clone, 1st edition. I put Hogue monogrips on it, removed the magazine disconnector and put an extended safety on it. Still my most accurate defensive pistol, and my competition weapon. Best bang for the buck I have ever spent on a handgun.

Colt Lightweight Commander. With ball ammo this old warhorse keeps on ticking, though it can be finicky about feeding hyrda shocks. Mine was made in the early 50's and took a trip to Korea courtesy Uncle Sam with the original owner. It's one I'll never sell. It's totally stock.

FEG Pa-63 .380. Beleive it or not this $100 pistol has never jammed on me, and part of the reason I was willing to try out the HP clone

 

[OneShot]

My Springfield, XD ,Subcompact, 9mm.

Say what you will, it's cheap, very accurate (2" groups at 10 yrds) and I have had no failures of any kind in over 1000 rounds.

I prefer shooting it to several of my more expensive "Pretty" guns including my Colt Gov. 45.

It is however ugly as sin--Rob

 

[aquapong]

My favorite gun I own is a Glock 19 and the one I regret trading away the most was a Kahr K9.
