Reason I ask is that over the summer a group of us decided we would get together once a month specifically for handgun practice. The ulterior motive was to let our wives shoot as many different styles and calibers of handguns as possible. We thought that in a group setting it would be less intimidating and would open up the opportunity to try different firearms. For the most part we stayed mainstream in our selections but everything from 22LR to 45 ACP was tried in both revolver and semi-auto format. Pistols in sizes ranging from pocket pistols to N-Frames and 1911s were included. One of the pistols I brought every month was an old NYPD 10-6 that I’ve had for several years. In the past week two couples have mentioned they bought new house guns, one a 10-6 and the other a 10-8.

I have to admit that for me it’s a toss-up between a 1911A1 and this 10-6 when it comes to service style handguns. Just made me curious what your favorites are.
