What's Your Excalibur?

[Tecolote]

What model fits your hand the best out of the box? I give the nod to the SIG P228 or P226.

 

[10-Ring]

I've owned a few, from Glock, Para, SIG, S&W, Colt, SA, Beretta & HK. Of them all, my HK's seem to work for me straight out of the box. The Berettas would be 1 - a

 

[HSMITH]

CZ75B with Hogue grips fit my hand better than any other autoloader I have ever picked up. Although I shoot the CZ well I am a little more comfortable with the 1911 platform.......

 

[Ian11]

Agreed SIG P226 and P228 feels best in my hand but the P220ST makes me feel like I've pulled Excalibur out of the stone.

 

[duckfoot]

hk usp .45

 

[Tamara]

A 1911 with a flat mainspring housing, beavertail, and long trigger.

 

[Mike Irwin]

Probably my Kahr K9, right out of the box.

But now that I put Hogue rubbers on my Hi Power, all I can say is wow, the K9 has some serious competition.

 

[gbelleh]

HK USP .45 Compact

 

[Jason Demond]

S&W model 25, in .45 LC.

 

[Sgt]

My stock Colt Combat Commander.....Arched MSH, standard grip safety, stock sights, nothing fancy, but it works

Semper Fi, Sgt

 

[556A2]

Browning Hi-Power

 

[BerettaNut92]

92G Elite II. Reehaw.

 

[Lt. G]

My new Para-Ordnance 14.45 LDA (with 2 hi cap mags). Took it to the range today. Hooo doggies! Great shooting, just went to the top of the heap. Feels like I can handle any situation with it.

 

[cslinger]

SIG 225 and the HK p7 with the nod going to the P7.

[MacPelto]

A 1911 with a flat mainspring housing, beavertail, and long trigger.

The same, but with an arched mainspring housing.

 

[WonderNine]

Browning Hi-Power

What he said.

 

[Smoke]

Para Ordnance P14.45 Limited with Hogue Grips.

Nothing like a big fat double stack to fit my monkey paws.

 

[boing]

Out of the box?

K9

 

[HBK]

Walther P-99. It feels like they used a model of my hand to make this pistol, it shoots like a dream, and 16 + 1 is plenty of ammo for me. Not to mention the mag release is on the trigger guard and makes reloading a snap. Walther...accept no substitute.

 

[allan]

A Ruger MKII with walnut grigs and a thumbrest is about as good as it gets for stock panels. I don't think that this discussion is about 22s though, so my vote will have to go to my BHP, followed closely by the 1911

 

[Tacblack]

Out of box
SV and STI wide body guns fit like a dream

 

[Marko Kloos]

The best fit for my hand is the CZ-75, closely followed by the 1911 and Browning HP.

 

[CB900F]

Teco;

Tried Glock. My H&K USPc in .40 fit my hand much better. That was a big reason why I bought it. No regrets, reliable, as in ZERO problems in 6 years, and LH friendly.

900F

 

[Sean Smith]

1911, flat mainspring housing, long trigger, no hammer bite (not necessarily a beavertail).

 

[HankB]

#1 - Browning HP
#2 - 1911
#3 - Glock 17

#86 - Sig P226, P220, etc. Well made, but no pointability in my hand at all.
#87 - S&W autos. Ditto.
