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. :D

SA Compact 45 with Hydrashock's, Chip M 8 rd mags.

But most of the time Im stuck carrying a M9 with ball ammo:mad:

HK USP
 

.45

Concealed carry?

Para Ordnance P-12 Alloy, .45ACP. LeMas CQB loads.

Twice as many big pumpkins.

M1911:

Terry

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.

Just Picked it up today!
 

I think its my new fav. For sure what I pick up when things get crazy here in my apt complex, AKA Little Mexico.

Kimber Custom TLE/RL II

HK USP .40

Psywar - you suck.

maybe i was raised in the old school but I prefer a browning Hi power. The original Wondernine.

Wondernine as in I wonder why anyone uses it? :D

I always have been a sucker for high capacity. No matter how fast your reload is, the guy that doesn't have to reload has an advantage.

Any 1911 style .45

high caps are fine, shooting straight is better.

No matter how many rounds you fire, the guy that gets the first good hit wins. :D

True on both counts; but since a pistol should be a secondary weapon, i would like the ability to engage as many targets as possible. I have no problem with forty five as a caliber and I think that the 1911 is a fine weapon system. That being said, I prefer to be able to carry more rounds in fewer mags. Also as i have seen used as a signature line elswhere on the net, "Speed is fine, accuracy is final" Valid points all around, and Duly noted.

Point taken, but not if there are several of them.

Anything beyond contact range, and 99.9% of the gunfights with pistols are won by the guy taking the time to aim and shoot accurately.

You can't miss fast enough to win, unless you have a belt-fed.:D

TR

That was my point. Marksmanship, not round count. That's ok, though, I got you back on the flashlights thread. LOL

With what, a Belt Fed Flashlight ???:D

Well, if 1,000 years of Spec Ops experience (And that's just LR and AM) all agrees on.45; what the hell is the Army doing with M-Italian guns?

Hey!!

No theft of intellectual property, I came up with it first!!

TR

1911 any flavor, I have 17 different ones.

Of interest:

a left handed Randall. Yes a true lefty handgun, not just ambi mag release. true mirror weapon, left ejection port

pair of essex framed 45 made from...spare arms room parts (statue of limitations)

officers model for conceal carry here in TX

A Belt fed FLASHLIGHT ???:D If you are going to claim that one, BWWWAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!

I was trying to stick NDD with it and you just intercepted !!!!

You can only choose one ???:(

Well I'm old school, so I'd have to go with my trusty old M1911.

But an honorable mention goes to my other one...Barretta .40 cal.
Not a Glock fan, never have been. I like a heavy barrell and the .40 has the speed of a 9 and the knockdown power of a .45.

While I have three Colt .45 ACPs GMs (a stock M1911, an AMU accurized-but-detuned-for-IPSC-back-in-the-day M1911A1, and a LTWT Commander in both .45 ACP and .38 Super); I have converted to the Glock.

22 or 19, it makes no difference. Fast and accurate.

Why?

Well, if I lose any of my GMs its a significant emotional event. The M1911 was Granddad's in the Big War. The M1911A1 was Dad's in the Dubya-Duya Eye Eye. The LTWT Commander is my custom smithed gun.

If I lose a Glock (due to da' law, Customs, whatever), I can buy one just like it again.

I I shoot like a barn on fire with it. Got to get me a .45 ACP one.

One of the new toys. 1893 in .32 WCF

.32!
 

Girl's gun! :D

.32-20 is also a Rifle Cartridge. It's about on par with the .30 Carbine round.

Kimber .45, straight out of the box and some Speers........works for me!

Kimber TLE, but no light rail.:mad:.........loaded w/ winchester SXT's

Wilson CQB with Winchester Ranger 230gr..:D

And that is what I get for not reading the whole post! :o

Sorry Col.

.45 Kimber CDP Pro, 165 grain Hydra-Shocks

Glock 23
 

Glock 23-Very reliable, good stopping power and good conceal. Everything I need.

My USP 9x19mm, i can trust it to go bang every time i pull the trigger and it has several features why i chose it. Hasnt let me down yet.

I do have a .45 project under work, it will be a another trusty tool.

Glock 21.

I have to carry it so I might as well love it and make it my favorite. :D
