Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
After visiting excellent THR discussion forums as a visitor for a couple of months, I've decided to join just yesterday. I have learned a lot of things I didn't know before here.
Once again, a big "HI! HOW ARE YOU?" to everyone out there. Thanks for accepting me as a new member. I am looking forward to participate in many discussions in the future.
Dear BlkGost:
I've voted for the Makarov pistol as, because I think, from the pistols listed it's probably the toughest, most reliable and most "battle proven" weapon. The former Warsaw Pact forces would probably never have issued a firearm that didn't withstand an incredible amount of abuse and neglect in the field or a gun that suffers from frequent small parts breakage. It's my "you-probably-can't-go-wrong-with-this" choice.
The choice is up to you, of course, but when it comes to a 9 mm pistol for daily carry I have always thought, the sub-compact Glock 29 in 9 mm x 19 (or the Glock 27 in .40, for that matter) is one of the most useful, all-time carry pistols available.
For me, a second option would be either a S&W M3913 or the somewhat more inexpensive S&W M908.
(Another gun I thought highly of as a carry gun in the past is the Walther P5 Compact. It's out of production for a couple of years, so it's probably difficult to locate. In the U.S., this gun was very expensive, so it's not fair to include it as viable choice.)
Just my personal opinions. Thank you for allowing me to share them.
Stay safe!
