Favorite Handgun/Pistol purchase of 2017?

Rob R. · Oct 15, 2017

With 2017 coming to a close, what has been your favorite purchase to date?

I bought a Canik TP9SF Elite and could not be happier, kinda puts my Glock to shame (love my Gen4 very much regardless). I don't think there is a better option sub $400 at all (Just my opinion)

-Cerakote Slide
-Warren tactical sights (fiberboard optic)
-Nice metal mecgar mags
-awesome trigger
-nice big easy to access release
-match grade barrel rated for over 50k rounds per Canik
-Lifetime warranty (for the original owner)
-Comes included with a OWB holster

Is that a picture of your actual pistol?

What is the red thing on the trigger?

Here’s mine although I’m hankering for a nice new CZ in some flavor of 9mm

Not my actual gun, I'll dig a picture up and post mine. Went ahead and grabbed Ameriglo's for it but yet to install since they are dovetail (need a sight pusher). Requires a a mix match G43 rear (narrow cut on the slide) and M&P front until companies start making sights for it..

Red part is the trigger Safety

Two 9mm CZ's are on my immediate buy list but getting hard to find either until CZ replenishes inventory (which they are apparently very slow to do). I actually just lost a auction last night for one of them :/

I bought a grey vp9 and a couple months later got a CZ P10C. I have about 700rds through the CZ and around 1000 through the vp9. I think I like the vp9 more. For me I shoot it better and feels better in the hand. But it only wins by a very small margin.

The Dan Wesson Silverback is at the lead for favorite this year.

I really want the new nickel model that was just released last week (shows in stock)..Probbaly swap out the black rubber/poly grips for a set of nice wood ones they are set to offer with the new models.. I will try to find the picture Arex released

It's not quite in my top 5 at the moment but something I want sooner than later nothing but great reviews all around. Held a few at Chantilly

I'm really pleased with my new Ruger Blackhawk. Convertible, stainless, 4 5/8" barrel, in either .357 or 9mm. Yeah, it took awhile to find one, and I had to wait an extra week while the MSP sorted out the model number, but it was worth it.

Nice!! You guys are killing me.. I just requested the lipseys or whatever distributor version (9mm/357 with nice wood grips) added to the roster Friday should be good to go next week or following week since it's just a color variance..
I almost bought one a couple weeks ago only to find out the sku wasn't on roster despite the gun being on there (rugers are done by sku's)
Found this out the hard way when I bought my grey LCP II

RJRjr · Oct 15, 2017

Got 2 handguns this year, both CZ . 75bd and P01. Just picked up the P01 thursday and haven't had it to the range yet so my favorite so far is the bd.

rseymorejr · Oct 15, 2017

I picked up a Mauser C96, 9mm. It won't be going to the range often but I'll shoot it a bit.

Glaron · Oct 15, 2017

Smith & Wesson 500

Czechnologist · Oct 15, 2017

It's a tie for me. I've put close to 1000 rounds thru each and I couldn't tell ya which one I like more.

Walther PPQ 45

Dan Wesson Specialist Commander .45

Phased plasma pistol in the 40 watt range... :innocent0

CZ Shadow 2.

Clifjr · Oct 15, 2017

I only purchased two pistols this year. Both from the same IP, thanks TK! If I had to,pick one as my favorite, it would be the S&W but luckily I don’t have to!

Def jealous, I wanted the blue grip version which I think is nitride finished not poly coating like the black grip version MSRP around $100 more. Sold out everywhere not paying gun broker prices

This thread quickly reminds I need to make more money

Mine would be my Sig P226 Legion. Best 9mm handgun I own. The marketing may seem gimmicky, but the gun is anything but.
