What Handgun Do You Keep Coming Back To?

I keep coming back to my Model 60 J Frame. I wear my 4" K-Frame's, and other medium frame revolvers, and they're too bulky feeling, the square butt's on the K-Frames don't help any. My Springfield 40 caliber service model is nice when carrying OWB ,as are most of my guns, but IWB most feel too large for a comfortable carrying condition. My BHP's are thinner but still have a larger feel. I carried my new Makarov today and it was much better but I still didn't feel quite as home as I do with my Model 60 J Frame. It seems to be the gun I come back to most of the time.

Maybe I need to lower the square footage on my tool shed I have put years into building?

2nd generation Glock 23 with night sights that I picked up as a police trade-in

 

[Glockfan.45]

Glocks, I sold my 30 and 22 to buy a big $ 1911. A few months later I bought back my 30 and have been looking for a deal on a 22.

Sig Sauer. I have come to the conclusion that they are the best line of weapons avaliable, IMHO.

 

[Ala Dan]

I will second the nomination of SIG-SAUER classic P-series handguns;
in particular the .45 ACP P220A, and the 9m/m P228~!

 

[Harry Paget Flashman]

Ruger Security-Six and Browning Hi-Power, bought 3 of each since the 70's.
S&W Model 36, bought 2, sold 2, bought one back.

 

[FrogClan]

Trusty S&W Chief's Special (J frame snubby, .38 special). Goes with me everywhere except on special occasions (when dressing up requires something a little slimmer, or circumstances beg for something bigger).

Sent another rattler to the maker with it just yesterday. Wouldn't be without it.

 

[lee n. field]

Makarov. Can't seem to get away from it.

 

[Brian Williams]

S&W 642, but I really stay with my S&W 13 and 65

 

[Chuck R.]

I went on a SIG binge, dabbled with High Power’s, started CAS and bought a couple Colt SAAs, but when all is said and done, I still keep coming back to 1911s.

Colt Diamondbacks. For a while, I was more interested in earlier models, but I keep returning to my original all time favorite handgun.

 

[Dave R]

Hi-Power. Just a pleasure to shoot.

 

[GroovedG19]

My 9x19mm pistols.Glock model 17 and Beretta Cougar 8000F.

 

[Husker1911]

Hmm, I can't quite decide. Maybe something the US Military carried for 80 years?

 

[panzermk2]

My S&W 10mm 1086 and my FN USG

 

[ugaarguy]

I played with a few of the newer designs, thinking that as I younger guy I should be shooting the "technologically superior" new super guns. Then I started shooting more guns that belong to friends and found I really like SA autos. The Hi-Power fits my hand nicely, but the 1911 is the gun that won me over. I'll keep my BHP, but I'll be taking delivery of mt second 1911 when I return from overseas. On the revolver end there's nothing like the blance and feel of the old K-frames. I an old school young guy I guess

 

[cslinger]

I waver back and forth between a good .357 Magnum revolver and a SIG Sauer P220. I always seem to find my way back to that P220ST.

 

[10-Ring]

I have a couple - my Italian 92fs inox, my USP 45 and my mod 60

 

[orionengnr]

first pistol I ever shot...

was my daddy's WWII 1911. I was 8 years old (1965).

Shot and qualified with them in the military (1977-1982).

First pistol I ever bought with my own money...was a 1911 (1983). Not an A1. Total POS. Wouldn't feed anything except ball ammo (and that, only sometimes). That experience drove me to The Dark Side....for a long time.

My next 1911 experience was shooting a buddy's Kimber (2001). Since then I have bought/sold at least nine 1911s. Yes, I am a serial owner. Sell one, buy one. Buy one, sell one. I can own all of them...one at a time

Currently--Kimber Ultra Carry II. Next...who knows?

 

[Jomax]

My Ruger SP101 .357 2 1/4" barrel. I'm very accurate with it on the first shot of each cylinder-full and shooting a box of .357 rounds in one range session is no problem for re: recoil, follow-up, groups. Am I a sharpshooter? No, not by any stretch. It just feels very natural in my grip and I'm relaxed and comfortable when I hold and shoot it.

 

[Pramunitus]

Duplicate post.

 

[Pramunitus]

My polished SS M640 w/Pachmyr grips. And I don't come back to it, I just find it in my waistband whenever I leave the house. Damn thing must jump in there on its own.

It's not the most accurate, and certainly not the most fun to shoot handgun that I own. It just seems to fit my +50 personality and attitude. It's always ready for some exercise, conceals better than anything else, and coughs whenever I want it to.

I've only found one other item as dependable, durable, and just damn good-looking, and I married her!

 

[StrikeEagle]

Colt 1911 but especially the Colt SAA. Those TV westerns of the 50's imprinted on me for life.

 

[Dienekes]

Deja vu here also. Ruger Standard Auto .22 LR. 1911 and conversion unit. Security Six with matching M18 S&W.

Everything else is just a conversation piece or eye candy. These are the ones that go where I go.

 

[Black Snowman]

CZs. It started with an 85 Compact and has exploded into a collection of 4 modern CZ spanning sub-compact to full size 45. When the new compact 45 comes out I'll get one of those too. If I'm not careful I might even splurge for a Champion or Tactical Sport one day. Nothing else feels or shoots like a CZ for me. I can nail targets with a CZ with a horrible trigger far more consistantly than a finely tuned 1911. Just something about those guns WORKS for me.
