Favorite Handgun

[The Architect]

I'm looking to buy a new handgun, wanna get some ideas from you guys (and girls), on which make and model you like.

I would say any of the Glocks.

Most reliable gun I've ever shot. I also prefer the action of the Glocks.

Colt 45 semi-auto, military edition

I have a Glock 27-.40 caliber, Glock 36-.45 caliber. and Glock .357.

All are great guns and can literally take a beating. Kind of pricey though, but worth the money in my opinion.

I fired a WWII Luger pistol once. Pretty cool. See if you can find one of those.

The one I use when I'm working. Easy to conceal, very reliable.

smith-wesson 3913tsw


At home I have a Glock 32 .357 sig. Probably among the best caliber for a handgun.

How many people have you killed in your life time tough guy? I've killed 21 and counting. Don't even talk to me about hand guns. That's the pussy's way out of killing someone. I prefer good, old fashioned blunt objects.

I fired a WWII Luger pistol once. Pretty cool. See if you can find one of those.

By far the best gun I have fired as well. Excellent choice brother!!!!! for real.

BTW it all depends on your State. You're in Florida right ? You can carry concealed weapon ? If yes then go for something compact or sub-compact.

I would go for either .357 sig or .40 S&W. Superior to 9mm and the recoil isn't that bad. I would also add the SIgg P-299 to my list. SPringfield also makes a nice compact gun in both caliber I mentionned.

I shoot a Colt 1911.

I conceal carry a glock 26.

Glocks are trendy and with trends also come the price.

I would highly suggest going to a gun range and renting guns before buying.

Some people find that the thicker grip of a glock makes them pull right or left. Some people find that the slender grip of a 1911 makes it harder to handle.

You can get a cheaper 1911-style gun like a Kimber for nearly half the cost. Really cheap, get a CZ.

Or you can get a custom Colt 1911 and pay 2200 bones.
