Which of the three do you like best?

[flip180]

I decided to get out the camera and take a few pictures of my three favorite pistols. I would like to know which one do you like best and input as to why.




Thanks, Flip.

Nice guns. I chose the Kimber cause I'm a sucker for any 1911.

 

[flip180]

I put my vote in for the 520. I currently reload for that caliber and shoot that gun often. In order to get motivated to reload for .45 ACP, I said to myself that the next time the Kimber goes out, it will be shooting reloads. I'm just now getting ready to do that after christmas when my wife gets me the dies, case trimmer and bullets to do so. I have 900 peices of brass waiting for bullets, powder and primers. I just got the Hi-Power yesterday so, it hasen't been to the range yet.

I voted for the HP, IMHO there is NO better looking pistol in the world than a HP and the grips on your gun are outstanding.

The Kimber is nice also, but it just doesnt have the lines of the HP

I simply dont care for the different colored cylinder in the Smith, that nit-pick aside the Smith is a good looking gun

For looks, I'm a sucker for a revolver. Actually, I love revolvers anyway. But, to me, slab sides of an auto vs rounded curves of a revolver, it's a no brainer, revolver wins! That one is very sharp, too!

Very nice looking Hi Power and 1911, too, BTW.

I picked the Kimber as It just had a look that 'spoke' to me

Flip,

I saw the pictures on your HP thread, and first thing I thought of was.. dang that Kimber looks nice!

So, my vote goes to your custom II. btw, even if you get that Kimber holster worn, I'm a HUGE SUCKER for worn looking custom II's.

Zen Grasshopper's Kimber comes to mind.

All of em' are beautiful thogh Flip. Nice collection

You must be kidding.

A nice blued medium frame .357mag revolver, a nice blued 1911 and a nice blued HP, all with great wood grips, and you want me to say which I like best. I guess it would depend upon my mood on a given day.

I love a medium framed revolver, I love a nice 1911, and the HP is the one pistol I don't own that I least understand why I don't yet own one (well, actually I do, it is the cost so I'm picking up less expensive items missing from what I most want first- but it is the one I want the most out of what I'm missing).

I've never shot any of these so based on looks I like the Hi-power.

 

[Brian Williams]

Today it would be the 520,
tomorrow the 1911
mid next week the BHP
no maybe the 520
nope it gotta be the 1911


Didn't vote
like um all

 

[V4Vendetta]

1911.

 

[10-Ring]

Nice samples & tough choices between them! Push come to shove, of the options you provided, I'd go wheelgun 1st

 

[flip180]

Thanks everyone.

I plan on putting rounds through all three christmas day. I have a brand new CZ-75B that I'm keeping at the house for my mother in law to give to my father in law for a christmas present. I figured that would be a good day to try out especially the Hi-Power. I though about getting it out and putting on the wood grips I bought for him and posting a pic.

Thanks, Flip.

out of the 3 the smith not a fan of the kimber

 

[Ala Dan]

I voted for the Kimber Custom II; but all three are really nice~!

 

[eclipse1]

1911 gets my vote!!
hp kicks butt too!

 

[madmike38]

i like the 1911.

 

[Mizzle187]

Wow those are ALMOST too pretty to be shooting! Like them all but the 1911 has to be the top!

Thanks!

I like to keep them looking good, if I can. I plan on putting many rounds though the three of them in the years to come. My wife bought me .45 acp dies, case trimmer and bullets for the 1911 for christmas and, I hope to be putting my first .45 acp reloads though it in the next couple of weeks. I won't be able to make it to the ramge tomarrow though. I have too many things to do and too many places to be.

I voted for the Kimber. Not just because it's a 1911, but I have a Kimber and it has been nothing but great for me.

Hi there,

FN/HP. I shoot it better than any other handgun I have ever owned.

[tonytulipz]

Hi Power

HI Power...Nice looks and ergonomics. Heard they are good. I will never be able to $$ one how much are they?

 

[AK103K]

Of the three listed, I'd go with the HP. I have a couple and they are great pistols. Now if the 1911 was a Colt, I'd have leaned a little more that way. I have a Kimber and I'm not real impressed with it, my Colts on the other hand, have been flawless. I do have a S&W 620, which I like a lot, but I still prefer the automatics over the revolvers.

The revolver lookes great too but i like autolaoders more. Just looked good.

 

[huntershooter]

P-35. Can't beat the P-35. I don't care for Kimbers pistols.
