Thing you look for in a COMBAT handgun?

"Other"
#1 and #5 for me.

I voted reliability because little else matters if it aint reliable.

Is it really a combat gun if it doesn't say combat on the side?

Combat handgun? Who are we fooling? I'm no longer in the military and no longer plan to be in combat. When I was in, a handgun was just added weight, I never thought I'd need to use it.

Assuming all the modern handguns capable to have good reliability, accuracy, capacity and durability, I focus my attention more on the safety, decocker, trigger setup. For those reasons my favourite hanguns are: Walther P99 AS, HK P30 V3, HK P2000 V3, CZ 75 (every model) with decocker, Beretta Px4 Type G.

Dear THR:
What are the essential element that you look for when purchasing a Combat pistol? Please list them in order of priority and discuss why is that feature important to you.

Here is what i look for:

1. Reliability: regardless of what comes next, the pistol must be dead on reliable to begin with.

2. Accuracy: it must have a reasonable combat accuracy.

3. Durability: must be able to endure acceptable level of combat abuse.

4. Decocker: it is a must for me in combat handgun. Only possible exception to this would be Glock since I am used to it. Anything else must have a decocker.

5. Ergonomic: this includes grip progile, trigger and magazine operation.

6. Rail: on combat gun yes, otherwise not necessary.

7. Capacity: 12+ againg only possible exception is 1911 only if its other features listed above are remarakly outstanding.

8. Caliber: has to beat or equal to energy that of 9mm.


Thank you

I think you hit the nail on the head.
