telluwhat Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 What is your favorite handgun?I only have one handgun and it is functional for what it is, a Ruger P85, 9mm with 15+1 rounds. It is the only one I have ever owned so I have nothing to compare it to, so for now it is by default my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 seems like ruger P series is the first gun for lots of people. honestly they are solid weapons. ive had a P85 and two P95s over the years and they all ran well. i get bored of guns pretty often but i really like my walther P99. my other guns are dusty because its all i carry anymore. currently trying to decide between a FNP45 and a HK45 for my next love affair.

Tripledeuce Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'v fired, and carried, thousands of different handguns in my 40 years of being a professional gunsmith. My favorite is a series 70 Colt 1911 in 45ACP. I bought it new, in 1974, and literally fired well over 100,000 rounds in it ( to the tune of two new bbls, and one new slide) . After replacing the slide, I retired from competitive shooting, and the gun "only" has had @25,000 rounds through it since. I'v got Colts, SW's, Rugers, Berettas. walthers, Uberties, and several others in the safe. The one brand I refuse to buy is Tarus. That "old" 1911 is my "go to" gun.

telluwhat Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Wow, sure are some great guns posted. I have looked up each to read about them and I can say I would enjoy any of them. Sometime down the way I will get a new gun and it may be one of these. It is always fun to get a new one. I remember the day I walked out with mine. Yeah it was ages ago but you never forget your first one, LOL. I am sure looking forward to seeing some more and if you have photos it is just more eye candy. Thanks for sharing.telluwhat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Too hard to say for me. I teach more handgun classes than anything else, so I feel a need to stay proficient with all of them.If frequency being shot is a factor, then the XD-M .45s are king right now. The 3.8 is my current daily carry. The 5.2, with a PRP trigger kit, recently digested about 400 rounds on one range trip.Which reminds me...I need to clean brass.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6132expert Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah I know! My wife kinda didn't like me getting the Sig and I told her it would be the last one for a while. Well if he still has it after I get the Sig I may go ahead and het the KC without her knowing. Maybe I can gwt away with it if not I will through it in the For Sale Section for what I have in it at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDDuc996 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 You can't go wrong with a Sig pistol. I love the P226 series, and recently had some custom work done to my P226R Elite.Then my wife surprised me with a Father's Day/5yr Anniversary gift of my dream pistol. A Sig P226 X5 Lightweight. This gun shoots better than my SA 1911 operator and I am more accurate with it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
