Usually some version of these (1911 and P-35):

I enjoy pitting my Beretta 92 against my HK USP. Both are great range guns that shoot and feels similar. Which is best.... ?
I do this with .22lrs all the time too. Which is better or more fun, the Walther, the Daewoo, the GSG? Is a new Bersa nicer than an old Beretta? I love these little unofficial side-by-side "shoot-offs". Lots of fun.

Give me a Ruger 10/22, a Buckmark .22 camper, a few cans of soda and a warm, sunny day, and I'm a happy man.

That would be Veritas and Equitas,,,
That would be Veritas and Equitas,,,
My matched pair of Ruger 22/45 Mk-III's.
I enjoy trying to "dual wield" these pistols,,,
If I alternate one round left then one round right,,,
I almost get to an acceptable level of accuracy on center mass.
If I try to shoot them at the same time like in the movies,,,
All I do is turn money into noise,,,
But it's fun none-the-less.
Any other time I go I almost always take a pair of handguns,,,
Usually it's one pistol in centerfire and another identical gun in rimfire.
My CZ-75B and CZ-75B Kadet are a good example.
50 rounds of 22 LR followed by ten rounds of 9mm,,,
That's a nice round of practice that isn't too expensive,,,
Repeat as necessary for however many rounds you want to expend.
I have several other rimfire/centerfire pairs of guns,,,
The same ammo routine is applied to them,,,
Lotsa trigger pulls for fewer dollars.

I like mixing it up. My 3" model 10 S&W and my worked over 1911, or maybe a CZ and a Python.
I'm more of an apples and oranges type of guy, not apples and apples. I rarely take two similar style pistols with me, unless I'm specifically comparing something.

I like to pair a big boomer with a little one. So, the 1911-22 goes along with the .45 1911. The SP101-22 goes with the .357 revolvers. The Nagant revolvers go with the Mosin-Nagant rifles.

The ones I have the most ammo loaded for, but my G20 and Ruger standard are my fun guns.

My lightweight Springfield 1911 .45 and my 9mm lightweight Colt Defender. Shot them both at the range yesterday.

1911 and whatever else is avaiable.
One thing I have found is that if three of us are shooting, try to have one firing a wheel gun (no brass) and the other two firing different calibers, so the brass is not a separation issue! Can be quite confusing when three .45acp are spitting lead!

Beretta M9 and G19. I just enjoy seeing how hilariously large and heavy the M9 is, compared to the G19.

If paired by caliber, either my 10/22 and Beretta 71, or HP995 carbine and a BHP.

Currently it's my Henry Lever action .22 and my Heritage .22 single action revolver, but it's subject to change without warning.

For me, its usually a .45 (ether a Sig 1911 or P220) and my Model 10. Occasionally its a .357 or .44 as well or in place of the .45, but my trusty old Model 10 is always along for the ride.

My Henry 001L and Ruger Single Six .... both with .22lr
I wish I had pics but:
Most often it's my H&K P7M8 (or M13) paired with my H&K USP9 full size
But I have a new pairing that I'll try out this weekend:
My Smith PC 627 V Comp and Smith PC 629 V Comp
All pairs are always accompanied by my Benelli M95E Atlanta .22 LR

RIA "Tactical" 1911 in .45ACP and 9mm. My grip is not what it used to be so a 2-300 rounds of 9mm shooting steel plates after 1-200 rounds of .45ACP makes for a very nice outing.

2 favorites are my Rossi Stainless steel 2 1/2 inch barrel revolver .38/.357 and my Springfield Champion .45.
The Rossi revolver has functioned flawlessly since I got it new in 1986. I shoot mostly .38 through it at the range due to ammo cost. Once in a while will shoot 6 .357 just to remind myself how it feels to shoot .357 in the Rossi quite a difference! This Rossi looks brand new despite how many times I have fired it. Like all, I clean it right away after firing.
The Champion .45 is really my favorite because of its balance when I fire it. It's really a fine rugged pistol. Totally dependable.
