What are your most comfortable shooting handguns? 3 categories

Delaware_Dan · October 19, 2010, 07:56 PM

Title says it all. What are your most comfortable shooting handguns? Most accurate, most comfortable grip, least recoil, ease of saftey/decocker access, etc.

What grips are on them?

3 Categories: Rimfire, Centerfire Auto, and Revolver.

Here's mine.

Rimfire: Ruger MKIII 6 inch with stock grips.

Centerfire Auto: CZ 75 B SA with CZ custom shop Cocobolo half checker grips.

Revolver: Ruger GP100 4 inch with (newer) stock Houge finger grooves shooting .38 spcl.

Let's see yours.

My CZ 75B is by fare the most comfortable gun I have ever fired.

I have handled countless handguns both pistols and revolvers and none of them feel as good as the CZ does?

Shadi Khalil · October 19, 2010, 09:11 PM

This one...

Or one of these....

FoxtrotRomeo · October 19, 2010, 10:37 PM

Auto- 1911 Just feels right.

Revolver- Smith & Wesson 460V with .45 Colt The muzzle barely moves

Rimfire- Can't say, never owned one.

chris in va · October 19, 2010, 11:37 PM

Revolvers...don't like them.

Centerfire...CZ 75BD, and surprisingly my new G21SF.

Rimfire...CZ Kadet slide on my 75BD.

orionengnr · October 19, 2010, 11:58 PM

Rimfire--Ruger MkII, smooth rosewood grips from Kelley Arms.
Semi--Kimber Eclipse Pro II, factory grips.
Revolver--S&W M-27, factory Target grips.

Webleymkv · October 20, 2010, 12:40 AM

Rimfire: H&R Model 999 Sportsman break-top revolver with 6" barrel (the only rimfire I own). Sorry, I don't have a pic of this one.

Centerfire Auto: Tie between Walther PP .32 ACP and CZ-75B 9mm

Revolver: Without a doubt my S&W Model 28-2 .357 Magnum (my favorite and most trusted handgun)

old bear · October 20, 2010, 03:57 PM

My 6" M-27, is my most comfortable handgun to shoot, it's equipped with factory target grips, and is a joy to shoot with any ammo from 38 special + P to 125 Gr .357 Magnum screamers. I don't shoot the latter often but when I do it's great fun.

psyfly · October 20, 2010, 04:20 PM

Fun thread.

Rimfire: Baikal IZH35M

Centerfire Auto: Star BKM

And

Oops, just kidding!

My most comfortable revolver is an Italian-made .22 single-action.

Best,

Will

MW surveyor · October 20, 2010, 04:28 PM

Rimfire - S&W 422
Pistol - CZ SP01 Phantom
Revolver - 3" SP 101 357 with either the stock or the Hogue grips (Hogues when firing the 357's though)

aarondhgraham · October 20, 2010, 04:46 PM

Ruger 22/45 Mk III,,,
Grip fits me very nicely so the gun points naturally.

I have 3 other .22 semi-auto pistols,,,
This is my favorite.

CZ-75B 9mm,,,
I purchased the gun after getting to fire one at my range,,,
The grip seems made for my palm so it shoots with good control.

I only plan on owning one "wonder-nine" pistol,,,
I probably fired 40-50 different brands and models before choosing the CZ.

S&W Model 15 Combat Masterpiece,,,
Actually any S&W K-frame revolver fits me very nicely,,,
While I'm probably only an average shooter I am best with this revolver.

Nothing fits me and makes me smile as well as a S&W 4" K-frame

.

Cheapshooter · October 20, 2010, 04:58 PM

Beretta 92fs
High Standard H-D Military
S&W Mod 10 4" HB

Misssissippi Dave · October 20, 2010, 08:38 PM

Top pistol Taurus Tracker. Quite accurate and if it wasn't for the noise it would be hard to tell if fired. Stock grips in picture and has Hogue finger grips now.

Sig Sauer P226. Stock grips.

Smith and Wesson 22A-1. Alamont grips. Scope 2-7 variable.

stevieboy · October 20, 2010, 08:47 PM

When I read the OP I was a little taken aback because I thought that it included a photo of my CZ. I have a CZ 75B SA with the identical grips as depicted and, yes, it is my most comfortable semi-auto. Nothing I own fits my hand better than that gun.

My most comfortable centerfire revolver? That would be my Smith & Wesson Model 14 with Pachmayr grips. It fires 158 gr. semi wadcutters with about as much recoil as a .22.

Speaking of which, my most comfortable rimfire (and, at present, my only rimfire) is my 617 4".

Quantrill · October 21, 2010, 05:18 PM

Herrett "National" grips on a Hi-Standard Supermatic Citation, a S&W model 52 and a light springed Colt Gold Cup National Match. All 3 used for Bullseye National Match shooting. Extremely comfortable

Don't own a revolver, nor do I often shoot them.
