Which gun would you pick from the following... - Page 4

Water-Man · January 12, 2013, 03:29 PM

SIG P220. I trust mine completely.

Blue Duck · January 13, 2013, 12:55 AM

I am a 1911 guy, but the way the OP worded it, I had to choose a Glock, and I could live with a 19, 17, or 22, hardly matters, but I chose the 17 because it's Glock's most proven model, and highest round capacity. I own all three, and actually carry the 19 more, but if I am to only have one, then I guess I will go full size.

dascottsman · January 13, 2013, 08:03 AM

None of the Above - Glock 23

HamsterHamster · January 14, 2013, 08:58 AM

Browning Hi-Power.

Battle proven worldwide above all other.

cole k · January 14, 2013, 07:47 PM

Custom Springfield MilSpec 1911, I have 2 of them.

sigcurious · January 14, 2013, 08:09 PM

I picked the 226.

Akimbo · January 15, 2013, 12:44 AM

I grab either the Sig p226 or the H&K USP .40

I can't control .45 recoil efficiently and Glocks feel like a brick in my hand.

en-frame · January 15, 2013, 03:15 AM

Constantine, geetarman, BGutzman,

I'd have picked a G30, but it wasn't on the list

I really like my G30 3rd Gen. If we could CCW here, it would be my carry pistol.
I prefer .45 for general defensive use (when I can't carry a rifle), and the G30
is a compact package that provides 10+1 rounds. Very cool. It's fun to shoot, and
I can keep 'em in the black @ 25yds. It's compact and light. What's not to like?

Safe shooting,

en-frame

BGutzman · January 15, 2013, 09:48 AM

enframe - check out my previous posting on the G-30 in this thread (460 Rowland)... you might like it!

LOL I'm considering it bro. On the Glock 21sf I have! Imagining that makes me smile like this

Constantine · January 21, 2013, 06:26 PM

Well...now the Glock 19 and Custom Mil-Spec are gone. Forgot the G19 got this many votes.

Too bad my gen 4 was just way too problematic.

I'll get another one some day.

I do however have a new Glock 30sf

Billy the Kidder · January 21, 2013, 07:52 PM

I voted G17, because I didn't see the need for concealment. Otherwise the G19.

BGutzman · January 21, 2013, 08:33 PM

C - here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OecVBzPYnfc this isnt the best video in the world, but if you read the chart, you will probably purchase it before the nights over!

May want to lock your wallet in the safe prior to reading the chart!

Constantine · January 21, 2013, 11:18 PM

OMG

What the mother of everything sacred?! lol home defense to the max!

I don't know how I'd feel about that for CCW though.

Wow....I really want that. I'm getting it for the Glock 21sf.

Where can I buy ammo for it? Georgia Arms ammo?

I need to get my Colt 70 series finished already!

rodfac · January 22, 2013, 11:56 AM

Love those old 1911 Colts, Conny...you can't go wrong with a good .45...and Colt makes 'em, the Colt Gold Cup Trophy Model 1911 could be argued as the best of them all. Get a dedicated .22 lr upper for it (Marvel or Ciener), and you've got the perfect all-around companion...CCW or practice, you've got it covered...everything else is just a Colt wannabe.... LOL, Rod

Revolver1 · January 22, 2013, 12:04 PM

None of the above! Had a Colt 1911, Sig 226, all the Glocks. The S&W M&P 45c is superior to all of them.

EdInk · January 22, 2013, 12:23 PM

It is alot of options but I picked the Springfield Mil Spec. I almost went with one of the Glocks but about two weeks ago, I looked into buying one in .40 and was reminded how much I dislike the grip design.

BGutzman · January 22, 2013, 02:54 PM

OMG

Georgia Arms never seems to have any ammo for the 460 Rowland, or at least it appears they are permanently out.

Corbon, Wilson Combat, Buffalo Bore and Underwood all offer ammo for it! The ammo in the video wasn't even on the upper end of what this round can do.. I just got some stuff from Underwood that's suppose to hit like 1500 fps with 185 gr!

That S&W M&P 45c is a nice gun, but it cant touch this!

It'll be your only gun. You need to grab one and go. Which one would it be and why?

"Grab and go." Here come the blue helmets/floodwaters/whatever.

I answered that here, a couple years back, and I think my reasoning is still sound.

Quote:

IF the world's as it should be, all unicorns and rainbows, I'm set for life and my biggest handgun addressable problem is too many stray cats, err, squirrels, a Ruger .22 auto, long barrel, target sights.

IF "We're in Teh End Times!", and I have to survive a 7 year Great Tribbleation wandering through a blasted and mutating apocalyptic landscape with only what I managed to grab in my panicked flight, a Glock 19. It should last as long as I need it. I can scavenge ammo from my fallen enemies, as, surely, the Man 'o Sin's minions will favor the Euroweenie 9mm over the One True Cartridge delivered by the hand of St. JMB.

What's most interesting in the "what one gun" threads, is to observe folks' reasoning.

RickB · January 22, 2013, 04:52 PM

I wouldn't trust anyone else's gun as a "grab and go" proposition. My guns, I'd pick any of them, but your guns?
It would have to be a 1911, as they are easily serviced, and it's the type of gun with which I'm most familiar.

BGutzman · January 22, 2013, 05:23 PM

The 460 is in theory at least capable of shooting both standard 45 ACP and 460 Rowland ammunition. I have never fired a round of 45 ACP through mine but its on my to do list...

I'm just not keen on ammo expenditures in this current time of
gun control being on the table in such a big way.

Hoosier_Daddy · January 22, 2013, 06:44 PM

Can't vote. There isn't an "other" option.

Closing The Gap · January 22, 2013, 08:09 PM

G22 because I can.

oldgunsmith · January 22, 2013, 11:34 PM

I've been shooting these since before anyone ever heard of Glock or any of the DA Sigs, HK's, or most of the others mentioned. At this point in life, I would be a pure fool to try to re-train my hand to be as comfortable or proficient with anything else.
