I'm going to stir the fire with my stick

Favorite handgun - make, model and caliber.

1911

What else? The 1911, Cal .45.

For more stirring... Why anyone would pick a .38 and then make the case smaller and call it a 9mm is beyond me.

For primary mission capability from a secondary
weapon platform that is concealable, the Glcok-21 with
6.5 inch KKM barrel, and Le Mas CQB subgun .45acp
ammunition.

The above weapon and ammunition combo delivers
85 grain BMT payloads at 2475 fps that will outperform
any sub M-4 5.56 length carbine in the CQB environment
without lethal over penetration potential.

The factory length barrel will deliver 2275fps
with the same ammunition and outperform sub 10 inch
5.56 carbine platforms with conventional ammunition in the
CQB environment.

For long distance (150 meters) impacts the 1911 5 inch Kimber CDP platform with BMT CQB 10mm. This weapon, ammunition combo will penetrate 1/4 inch steel and all soft barriers.

For personnal every day carry the Kimber CDP .45acp. Prefer only light weight 1911 alloy frames weapons that weigh less than 27 ounces.

The S&W .38special titanium or keltec's for BUG's that weigh
less than 11 oz. with BMT ammunition.

Because our Govt. has issues with hanguns, I have never had the oppertunity to fire one.

However, I do like the USP and the 226. I don't know how good they are, but I like them.

Colt 1911 A-1! But in the last couple of weeks I've been having a lot of fun with a couple of SAA's I just bought. One's in 32-20 and was made in 1897 (Has a minty bore) and the other is in 38-40 (a screw in frame blackpowder gun) with a shootable bore made in 1893. The latter one looks like it may have been a "Movie Gun" at one time or other as it is nickle plate and the right grip is worn smooth (as if by countless sleeved arms brushing against it while it was in a holster). Bought each of them for less than a 3d Generation re-pop.

HK USP .45 Expert.

If I were to go towards a 1911, I'd probably lean towards the Para-Ordinance line rather than a single stack.
