Best handgun design?

[Ura-Ki]

1911 for top accuracy and absolute reliability. Even better in the Double Stacks with night sights!
Beretta 92, same as the 1911 with a decent trigger for a D/A.
Browning Hi-Power, almost a 1911 with a D/A trigger and high cap mags
Jericho 941, a very accurate 9 mm with decent sights.

1911 then Glock 17.

How many who voted 1911 are under the age of 50?

I of course love 1911's as anyone who knows me knows. I do readily admit far better designs have come along. Even though I don't really like them and do not own one I also readily admit that what Gaston came up with was game changing. Dead simple design and look how they work. One guy I work with is wanting a 17 and of course they are now harder to lay hands on. I showed him the 80% and how dead simple they are. He is seriously looking at one of those now. The main point in showing him how easy one is to make is it shows how nice the damn idea was when he came up with it. You do not see anyone putting an 80% 1911 together with nothing but a file like the one guy does with an 80% Glock

Love me a 2011. Wondering if I should convert my last purchase of a P14 to 9mm.

All great handgun designs... All having seen extensive military and police use around the globe. Each having an application where it is the best... Each person will find a different mix in the priorities, as it suits their need. Having said all that, without delving into details, my order:

Sig P226
Beretta 92
Glock
1911
Hi-Power

I'm a recent Sig convert, but have owned or currently own, and carried the others listed, so my order is based upon my own personal experience.

RACIST!!!

It was a multiple choice test with trick questions.. Not all of the correct answer(s) were available.

S& W mdl 19, 2.5" looks mean as hell with that full underlug barrel!

I run mine in 10 mm, one is a "Standard" and the other is a "Long Slide"
Also just added a Para style Rock Island 10 mm to the carry rotation, as soon as I get my night sights for it!

I'm 50 I carry a Glock but my next gun buy will be a Springfield EMP CONTOUR.
9mm 1911 .
I have been looking at getting one for a while now.
Lol and I think in a few weeks the government is going to buy me one with a stimulus check LOL.

 

[dhklaus]

I have a Glocks. Ruger and a few other stuff .
I shoot my Kimber 1911 the best .
But I carry my glock19x .
Basically just because of capacity.
I can carry one mag in the gun and a extra mag and have 35 rounds.

My thoughts exactly!

 

[EPS]

And then after that I want a 1911 in 10mm
Just because

 

[dhklaus]

HK USP 45...I disnt see it on the list

A fave of spec ops. Good choice!

Smith 6" model 29
Beretta Chetah
Walther PPKS
Ruger Blackhawk 6"

I swore I'd never be a Glock guy. I thought they were ugly, then I shot one. The grip angle, the capacity, the reliability, the availability of accessories, the ease of maintenance. What's not to love? Bought a 23 & a 9mm barrel & mags. Two calibers out of one gun. Bonus!

 

[EPS]

I don't know if I just got lucky or what I bought my Kimber 1911 used at a pawn shop a few years ago.
I changed the grips added the rubber finger groves and bought a bunch of mags.
But everyone who shoots it.
Loves it girls guys old or young .
They love it and all shoot it really good .

80% Glock

My personal issue with this marque, is exactly that: 80% misses with Glock. Thankfully out of a17 round magazine I can manage to almost hit the X ring once. But there WILL be a lotta holes all around the POA.

What's not to love?

I can tell ya: but you've heard it all before. And I ain't against 'em, I just fare poorly trying to hit anything with 'em.

I would think 'best handgun design' would work well with 'most shooters'. I feel left out.

It only takes one .lol

I can hit a man target with my glock19x.
But I'm not shooting anybody in the eye with it.
Maybe for head chin cheek neck high chest stomach shoulder leg .
Left foot right foot you get the picture.
Well let's just say they are not running far .LOL
