An auto-revolver would cause rioting in the streets starting in one of these forums.
9x18 is about as powerful as you can get in blowback design
it's more than .380 less than 9x19
wikipedia is pretty good, if you go for FPS/kJ etc.
if you want to shoot through an engine block, not for you, but it's enough for people.
OH and it's cheap.
edit: you mean one of these?

That would be the SIG 250. It's not in the same league as the SIG P Series pistols. The 250 choked in a recent ATF field trial which both Glock and the S&W M&P passed, and were approved for purchase by other federal agencies without further testing.I also saw a SIG that comes with two different grips one full size other compact for about the same price.
Whatever you get your will be just a little less reliable then what folks claim here.OK so I am planning ahead on my next pistol. I am becoming draw to revolvers due to their reliability and look, however a little draw away from them due to weight (If I choose to carry it).
Anyhow to aid in my research I was wondering what is the most reliable auto you have own?
Also since this is the auto-loader forum and I have already post in Revolver getting everyone's pros on revolver over auto, please feel free to list any reason you would take auto over revolver.
Thank you
That some good information to have...That would be the SIG 250. It's not in the same league as the SIG P Series pistols. The 250 choked in a recent ATF field trial which both Glock and the S&W M&P passed, and were approved for purchase by other federal agencies without further testing.
The Makarov is one of the all time great pistol designs, up there with the 1911, BHP, Glock, etc. Don't discount it because it's a soviet design. It's as reliable a pistol as has ever been made, fewer parts than anything else, and is very easy to detail strip and replace components should you actually have a failure.Getting some of the basic answers I expected... besides for one that many of you mention has through a wrench in my head gears, Makarov. I see these a lot used for darn cheap.
I have thought that they are a old russian design and can't be that good (why would I think that with the AK47? being of the time period.)... Whats the power difference between the 9x18 compare to 9x19 9mm? I heard that the Makarovs 9x18 is just a tad better than .380?
Actually have thought about getting another XD but I also saw a SIG that comes with two different grips one full size other compact for about the same price. That sound like a great gun for both home defense and seldom carry. I dont see any gun really replacing my p3at as a carry gun just because its so easy to have on me at all times.

The thing is if you have a problem will the manufacturer make it right and in a timely fashion.
