Favorite Handgun?

[Mad John]

Now that is an interesting question.
Alot depends on what I have in my hand at any given moment. I mostly carry a good old Military 1911a1. It was the first hand gun I owned. Actually given to me for my seventh birthday by my grand-dad. (Mom wasn't too happy) I learned to love that auto and now have a good collection of them. Only have one that is not a Colt or military contract model. One that I really admire is the Model 1896 Mauser. A fascinating piece of engineering and a real hoot to shoot! The .30 caliber round is quite impressive and pretty darned powerful for what looks to be a waste of time. The 9mm is an interesting addition to the "Broom-handle" design. Prussian (Red 9) models are kinda tough to find and pricey. The shoulder-stock holster is a great option if you can find one that is correct. Don't get me wrong, I do love wheel guns but that is another subject for a later date.

A tough one. Only one? Well, it would have to be a K22...Lots of fun, easy and cheap to shoot. A little light for home defense, but it'll do. Oh, and those are some AWESOME photos!

If it really had to be one only, it’d be the WGerman non rail. Yeah, it shoots so well, I‘d go with a handheld light.

My favorite is my trusty Smith & Wesson Model 60 3" barrel chambered in .357 mag. I love the flash and pop when shooting .357 in it and I can be fairly accurate with it at 50 feet. I used to carry it every day in a Cramer IWB holster when I lived in Ohio.

My favorite was Sturm Ruger KS411N, stainless steel, 10 1/2 barrel, 44 magnum, with a slick trigger job. Shot IHMSA in the 80's with that gun. Wish I never sold it.

This is my favorite. Not the one I shoot or carry the most, but it was a birthday present from my mom to my dad back in 1964 when my dad was a new trooper in the Alabama Highway Patrol and needed a BUG.

My Ruger 45Colt. And or whatever else I have on me.

The one that feels the best in my hand of all the ones I have is the Browning HP. Just something about it. We will see if the Walther I have on the way will change my mind.

I have to say it would be my Glock 26 in a pocket holster. It could also be my Glock 17 in an OWB holster depending on what I am wearing and where I am going. But I always grab a Glock in 9mm as a first choice for my concealed carry gun.

Favorite is my Beretta PX4 Storm compact. Wasn't really looking for it or any other pistol at the time, but a trade way in my favor presented itself so I ended up with it sort of by luck or default. Glad I did because I'm more accurate with it than any other pistol I've owned. Love it so much that I bought the full size in Inox for my nightstand gun. Love it too, but for some reason shoot the compact a little better.
