I've only ever fired two pistols, total.

The Beretta is my Brother's Cougar 8045, and the Kel Tec was his friend's P11.

After careful consideration, hell I think that's it!

I cannot believe Glock is on that list

What can I say, I'm a big fan of plastic fantastic
IM metals (the manufacturer of the XD pistol series)
Glock

If someone would make a polymer, double stack striker-fired 1911 I'd be all over it. (no the alchemey arms specter doesn't count)

Colt - Govt and Variants
Glock - old series
SIG-Sauer P Series
LAR - Colt Browning type
Browning - Belgian made
