Following AKBytheBay's thread, since it was a little more on the practical side in my opinion, bar none what is your absolute favorite pistol? I mean the one by which all others are judged and all that...

You can be as specific as you need.

For me: 1911.

The 1911 is the most perfect balance of all things a handgun needs to be. Holding one feels as if the gun was made for me personally. It is the epitome of all things American and all things good. Yes, I really like the 1911.

It will last a life time, you don't need magazines and it can take down anything.

Not sure but I think it's gotta be the P22. It always goes out and goes bang for real cheap!

Of course 1911 is a generic term now, but what I'm talking about is the full-sized, as-God-intended Gubment M1911.

Of course I enjoy a few bells and whistles, but when it comes down to it the old warhorse is still the cream of the crop.

In my Mountain Redoubt or on Rogue Range

HK P7M8. Compact, functional, laser beam accurate and just plain cool.


My CCW P7 is a matte hard chrome done by virgil trip with night sights and it rides in either an Andy Aratoonian belt holster or a kramer horsehide IWB.

Since you hate it so much Terry, I'll take that USP9 off your hands.

My fav would be my SA 5" 1911

I like my USP40 but my P225 is rising up the ranks. This all may change when I pick up my P220 on Tuesday!

Depends on what work I'm doing or my mood but if the caliber starts with a 4 and end with a 5 then I'm happier than a pig in poo but won't turn my nose up on a 9MM or .357

SA - Ruger Vaquero 7.5" Convertible
DA - S&W 25-7 or 625 MG. GP-100 3" runs a close 3rd.
1911A1 - Colt 80 Series LW Commander(I've got other Standards that shoot better bit there is something about the LWC)
Auto - P90 and BHP("Subcaliber training device" everyone knows if you love 1911s then you need a BHP too)

It would be a toss up for me between the Colt Gold Cup (Top) and the Para Ord LDA.
