What's your favorite handgun?

[JCM298]

Hard choice

It would be a toss-up: Python, bought NIB in 1965 and carried until 1985, or Sig 220, issued NIB in 1985, which I purchased when I retired, after caryying it for 5 years.

Shot a friend's Series 80 Combat Elite...ever since then, I've had a serious case of the 1911 bug.

All time fav? My Kahr E-9. I sold it.:banghead: Now I can afford the K-9 or even the P9 or the PM9 I can't decide which one to get.

[Daniel]

A list of what I have shot (in order of appearance): Ruger P95 9mil (DA/SA variant), Glock 17 9mil, Glock 21 .45auto, CZ-100B .40auto; Colt Series 70 .gov mod .45auto, Taurus M44 .44mag, Ruger GP100 .357mag, Dan Wesson (unknown model) .357mag.

.gov model was/is my fav ... though if the CZ-100B was DA/SA 'stead of DAO only, I would take/choose the CZ.

Favorite handgun

I would have to say that my favorite is my DDR Pistolet Makarova with the serial number AZxxxx!! The markings include a backwards "S" surrounded buy the usual DDR "stars". The action is heads above the other Makarovs that I have and it is VERY accurate!! This leads me to believe that it may have been a "Stazi" issue. But, who knows!!! It's not supposed to be a 25 yard gun, but it is.
I call it my Arizona (AZ) pistol!!!

 

[Mike Irwin]

S&W Model 19.

 

[Berg01]

Sig P228; S&W #27-2 6" bbl.

 

[Dorrin79]

of the ones I own, my Ruger MkII Target.

of the ones I've shot, the one I most enjoyed was a friend's Beretta 92FS - I think they're overpriced and way too big for CCW, but they are a lot of fun to shoot.

 

[MJRW]

It used to be my GP-100 for revolver and a nice 1911 for semi-auto. I think that revolver may change to that new Vaquero .22 I just picked up. That thing is fun.

I'm really not an HK fanboy, but...

Favorite handgun: H&K SP89
Favorite normal handgun: H&K P7M8
Favorite handgun to shoot: H&K USP .45 Compact


I don't know why, but HKs have always fascinated me. I'm pretty sure Die Hard had something to do with it back in 1988.

What can I say, I also like Porsches.

 

[OEF_VET]

My S&W 686-2. My dad carried it for quite a few years as a deputy sheriff before his arthritis got too bad to handle the recoil. When he quit working the road and started working only in the jail, he sold it to me.

 

[Phantom Warrior]

Auto: Glock 23
Bolt-action rifle: Remington 700 (.308)

I don't care what people say about Remington bolts. My 700 dropped my deer at ~170 yards with one round. I'm sold.

Additionally, when I get them, a Remington 870 and DPMS AR-15 will probably be my favorite shotgun and "evil black rifle."

 

[Stickjockey]

Favorite auto: Colt 1911 Gold Cup w/ 18# Wolff spring kit:

Favorite revolver: Navy Arms Colt 1860 Army

 

[Trebor]

CZ 75A (Followed closely by the 75B)

S&W M28-2 Highway Patrolman
