What's your favorite handgun you own?

hoytinak · November 1, 2009, 07:15 AM

Seen this on the rifle section so I thought I'd add a handgun one.

I know sometimes to hard to pick a favorite one(it was for me) so....lets say you can pick one revolver and one semi. What would they be? Pics are always nice.

Mine would be my Ruger GP100 and CZ P-01. Both seem to balance perfect for me, are way more accurate than I am and most of all, they're just so purdy.

I don't really consider these favorites, but they do stand out when I think of what I want in my collection...

The only gun I ever sold and then replaced with another is the Sig P232SL.

The longest I ever waited, searching for a gun, about three years, the Walther TPH .25acp.

dondavis3 · November 1, 2009, 07:54 AM

Tough question -

Kimber .45 with Crimson Trace Grips

Colt SAA .45 LC

Colt New Fronteer .22 cal.

I'm awful lucky - I could go one & on all calibers are fun for me.

mrt949 · November 1, 2009, 08:06 AM

MY SEECAMP 32.Looked at them for a lot of years finally got one .It is my EDC In my front pocket always.

skoro · November 1, 2009, 08:17 AM

That's tough...

I really like all of my k-frame Smiths and find them so easy to shoot well. But if pressed, I'd choose my 1976 Colt MkIV Series 70.

pogo2 · November 1, 2009, 08:19 AM

My answer changes over time, but at this moment I'd say my favorite revolver is my S&W model 66 with 3 inch barrel, and my favorite semiauto is my Sig P220ST:

cz223 · November 1, 2009, 08:23 AM

more than the usual, "which is the best" type question. While the answers to both questions are more matters of opinion than anything else, this one is obviously that. In this case I will have to answer with the guns that give me the "Warm and Fuzzies" rather than which gun I would pick up to go to a gunfight with.

My choice for Auto is: My Duo-tone Taurus PT-1911 because it good looking accurate and reliable.

My Choice for my favorite revolvers are my pair of Ruger new model Vaqueros in bright stainless steel.

mk70ss · November 1, 2009, 08:40 AM

The most accurate gun I've ever fired is my Walther GSP. I bought two barrels, one in .22LR and one in .32 S&W Long wadcutter. Crazy accurate. I will have this one for a LONG time....

rauke · November 1, 2009, 09:47 AM

The Glock 23 I regularly carry...

and a recently-acquired S&W Model 10-7!

I like the Glock because of its no-frills reliability and ruggedness; the S&W, because it reminds me of a time when guns were made of steel and real wood, and you only needed six to survive a gunfight!

SundownRider · November 1, 2009, 10:53 AM

A Browning BDA in .380. That gun just waited for me to purchase it. Never regretted it.

Scary accurate.

L_Killkenny · November 1, 2009, 11:02 AM

That's a tough one. For pure looks it would be my .32M Single Six. For function and capability it would be my SS Security Six. Both are mucho fun to shoot but completely different animals.

KyJim · November 1, 2009, 11:18 AM

One favorite handgun? Extremely difficult to decide. But unlike some previous posters, I'll actually pick only one.

My single favorite handgun in my full size Ed Brown Special Forces. Workmanship is unsurpassed, a blast to shoot, and in my favorite caliber and platform:

Peter M. Eick · November 1, 2009, 11:27 AM

Probably these two from 1939. My Registered Magnum and my 38/44 Outdoorsman.

beak7707 · November 1, 2009, 11:38 AM

Colt 22 Scout

skifast · November 1, 2009, 01:26 PM

Taurus 24/7 OSS 9mm

Chesster · November 1, 2009, 05:53 PM

A lightly customized Smith Model 58 and a 9mm BHP of some kind.

mgh · November 1, 2009, 06:05 PM

Springfield XD9. It's not pretty but it the best shooting handgun I own.

Bigjim3 · November 1, 2009, 06:14 PM

MY KAHR K40 and my little NAA .22

dinsmore83 · November 1, 2009, 06:20 PM

FNP-9 It's the only one I have!

at the moment

Chris_B · November 1, 2009, 06:20 PM

mk70ss:

ever go to Earl's repair shop and see what he's done with the GSP?

CARGUY2244 · November 1, 2009, 06:28 PM

Glock 20. Unfortunately it's too big to carry concealed on long days, because I hate to put it in the drawer. The Glock 19 is the all day carry weapon, and it it's also great. Now that I'm on a roll, every Glock I own is my favorite. And I have this very sweet M&P R8...,OCD OCD OCD....I love them all.

Beentown71 · November 1, 2009, 06:30 PM

Just a pleasure to shoot. I have more useful handguns but this is the one that always accompanies me to the range...well that is if Dad isn't borrowing it.
