As far as historical significance. It has to look something like this.
Colt SAA - yeah there were influences to it. But it was THE revolver. Period.
S&W m&p/model 10 - one of the first modern revolvers swing out cylinder and introduced the world to .38 special.
M1911 - no explanation...
Before I bought my first I did a ton of research. Was on a budget and found what was perfect at the time.
Got a c&r and had a cz82 delivered.
Still like that little ugly thing.
I went with my wife her sister an husband this afternoon.
We spent the last hour and a half at the pistol range. And like every other time I have been there, it's just a fun place to shoot.
Never had an RSOs yell at us, but they have always been willing to give the girls a tip here and there...
You really don't see many p99s in AS configurations. Especially in 9mm.
I might be in the minority but I prefer my p99as to the ppq.
I was reading somewhere the trigger on the ppq is just a p99as trigger with the da and decocking removed.
That's why p99 users were talking about the trigger...
Yeah. My experience with the krd South African mags have been solid. And they were dirt cheap.
The mec gars a I have come across have all been 100% also. 13. 15. And 20 round mags have all been flawless.
I left the luger off the list because I think its significance is vastly overplayed by the folklore of it. It was outdated and scheduled for replacement at the beginning of ww2. The p38 was the standard sidearm of Nazi Germany. And afterwards the p38 and its variants saw usage in a much wider...
If we are talking historically shouldn't it look something like
1911
Browning hi-power
Walther p-38
Colt new service
Makarov
I'm not sure of howmuch combat modern pistols have seen compared to these.
