Favorite Handgun?

[rushfan24]

This may have been posted already but I was wondering what your favorite handgun is? You can names as many uses as you want to, such as concealed carry, open carry, or just messing around at the range, or in my case, the back yard haha.

Favorite Auto pistol- 1911A1 or a customized Colt Commander chambered in .45
Favorite Revolver- Colt "Snake Guns," preferably the larger calibers, such as the Anaconda, .44 MAG, or the Python, .357.

I'm not old enough to carry concealed or open, but my uncle used to make me wear his Commander around his house and we would do defensive shooting drills such as the Mozambique or just regular old IDPA set-ups. Note that this was when I was maybe 10? I'm 16 now and still go shooting every once in a while but since my uncle passed in '05 I haven't been out very much. I go with my friends to Camp Perry and shoot with the CMP and I can get maybe a 10 inch group at 600 yards? Don't hate, I haven't shot more than probably 20 rounds of .223 ammo in the past 5 years haha. And sorry for the lengthy post, it's my first so take it easy Thanks, Ryan

SO far I have to say I Love my CZ75bd... It has a great balance, exposed hammer, decocker and of course is based on the classic HI Power design. I like my dads SIg 226 also, but the CZ feels better in my hand and has less of a kick.

My new Kimber Pro Carry II. This one I will NEVER sell, it will be handed down to children and grandchildren. I do wish I still had my original carry, a Sig 220. Unless dire needs arise, I can't see myself selling another pistol.

 

[Yrose]

CC=Bersa 380
Home weapon= Beretta 92

Hoping soon my CC fav will be a Sig P238.

AS much as I like a 1911, the FN or Browning Hi-Power (I've owned both and the only difference usually is the stamping on the slide and where it was assembled) has that special place in my heart all staked out.

My favorite revolver is a DAO Rossi 720 (5 shot .44 Special with a 3 inch full underlug). That's also my favorite concealed carry revolver. It's small enough to tote and conceal, albeit a bit on the heavy side since it is a steel frame but powerful enough to do something if you need it.

Following close to it for pure fun on the range are my Dan Wesson .357's (plural, I have 2- one with adjustable sights and 4, 6, and 8 inch barrels and a fixed sight version with a 2 inch and a 4 inch) because they are just so damn accurate. The adjustable sight Dan Wesson is scary accurate at long range if you put one of the longer barrels on it and even the fixed sight gun with the 2 inch barrel on it can ring steel out to 100 if you do your part. The only wheelgun that comes close to those 3 that I have owned was the Smith and Wesson Performance Center 625-4 (.45ACP) with the 5 inch full underlug that was stolen in a burglary back in '98.

My favorite daily carry is <no surprise> the one I carry...Sig 229 with .40S&W bbl.

And just to change things up a bit, my two favorite long-range "handguns" are:

Weatherby Mark V CFP in 7mm-08 Remington

Remington XP-100 in 6.5-284 Winchester

My GP100 4" I bought back in the mid 80s and my German Walther PPK/s from the same period. However I really think my favorite handgun I haven't bought yet, there are so many I still want.

 

[handgonnetoter]

My favorite is my older model Bersa Thunder .380. I have about 800 rounds thru it and it still runs like a top.:man_in_love:

 

[rushfan24]

Great choices guys!! I have shot another revolver that I REALLY liked but I can't remember the brand name off the top of my head. It starts with a D and I'm pretty sure it's German. I have shot my friends dads .357 S&W that he uses for concealed carry. It's from 1963 I think and has the original grip on it, it's very similar to a Hogue grip.

 

[azasadny]

I guess I'm a "gun whore" because all of my guns are my favorites! I'm still looking for other "favorites" to add to my collection!

 

[overdahill]

Springfield XDm 40 or Kel-Tec P40 depending on how I am dressed!

 

[tkdkraig]

Gotta go with my Glock 23

 

[Mr.357Sig]

Auto CC/SD/HD - Sig P220 Elite
Revolver CC/SD - Ruger LCR 357 or S&W M&P 340
Revolver HD - S&W 686 4 inch

I might go out on a limb and guess Deutsche Werke which produced pistols that became popular in America between WW I and WW II. But I'm not sure the company produced any revolvers...maybe only semi-autos.


Or maybe DWM (Deutsche Waffen and Munitionsfabriken)?

Right now it will be my Kimber SIS 4", My Glock 22 is also a toss up. Depends on how i feel that day. Although lately i have an itch for a new 9mm, Old Berretta is starting to get tired. CZs and SIGs have been getting my attention. That S&W 380 body guard is looking good also.
