What handgun do you shoot the most.

Colt Officers Model Match 38

Usually shot with Plus P ammo from 10 to 100 yards. Cast bullet reloads for about 6-7 cents per round and I am not trying to find my empty brass on the ground.
 
Of all my centerfires, I shoot my revolvers a lot and my Kel Tec P11 has been fired a lot over the years. I have a Dillon Square Deal set up in 9x19 and shot a lot for IDPA practice in the past and always put some through my little P11 carry when I'd practice. That gun has a rather high round count, quit estimating at somewhere around 11K. It still runs great.
 
With the current high cost of ammunition I shoot my slightly customized Ruger MKII 5.5" bull barrel for pistol,good chance to work on fundamentals.For rifle I shoot my customized Ruger 10-22 or dedicated .22RF AR-15.
 
Ruger MK II, 5.5 inch Target model, CZ-75, and HK P7 PSP or M8. I carry the CZ, and P7, so that is what I tend to shoot more. My 1911's, and BHP get a lot of rounds downrange also.
 
gp 100

Like tryshoot, I always seem to go back to the Ruger GP 100 4" stainless, and shoot .38 spl out of it. It's a heavy, recoil-absorbing gun. I guess I just like revolvers, and it's much more pleasant to shoot than the SW 638.

S&W M41 after many years was surpassed by the Trailside (~28K rounds)
but the 1911 Kimber CSGM from 1998 with 47K rounds is my go for any reason gun.
and with its Kimber made 22lr conversion, matchgrade, it my surpass the Trailside
....if i should last that long
 
All of these are pics of .45 ACP that I use for CCW depending on the day. If I go shoot one, I shoot all. I carry them all so I need to be ready and completely familiar with them all equally. My favorite is my newest. The Kimber Compact Stainless II. It is the smoothest recoil out of the 4 and with the Crimson trace grips I added it is a more comfortable grip than the stock diamond rubber grips.

I enjoy reloading about as much as shooting. To slow things down at the range, I mostly shoot 44 mag and 45 colt out of single action Rugers. Even though I've found good loads for each gun, I still try new loads almost weekly. I also shoot my S&W 629 and 686 SSR and a couple of lever action rifles in the same handgun calibers. I'll put in some time each range trip with my Kahr and CZ carry 9's to maintain some level of proficiency with them.
 
This one:

FEG Hi-Power clone. You can see my hands are hard on bluing. Might be time to parkerize it one of these days.

In a rimfire, it has to be my Ruger MK.II Model 512. With Wolf Match Target ammo, it's way too accurate to leave it at home. In a centerfire it would have to be my Colt Combat Commander in .45ACP. A limited edition model from the Colt Custom Shop, this gun is both incredibly accurate and super reliable.
 
The one(s) I carry most. Those for now, are the Ruger SR9 and the CZ 83. Waiting on my holster for my EMP .40, then I can figure that as my primary carry and range weapon.
 
Up until this month, my M&P .40 got most of the exercise...

Right now I'm working the Blackhawk 45 convertible as my EDC, I need a better bench rest, but I've got the sights nearly dialed in for real accuracy outside of my point shooting.

Adjustable sights on a pistol... Mind blowing for a first time owner ;)
