Your Best Shot.

I feel like my answer is almost cheating... it is my PC 845 Limited (second series "Model of 1998")

Every time I read where someone posts about a Glock or M&P and says "...it is more accurate than I am!" it makes me think that they have never experienced a handgun that is not only capable of precision, but one that offers an interface that helps you shoot to your actual abilities as well.

I do great with my Walther PPQm2 and I love my 39's, 659, my 3906's and 5906's but the real truth is that those pistols, for all they do so well, they cannot do what my 845 can do, regardless of who is shooting them.

If you think that your Glock can absolutely outshoot your own abilities, then I believe truly that you are selling yourself short.

I never seem to find the best words to express my thoughts on this subject.
 
I don't own a CCW, so best shooter would be k22 since its been
main handgun for 56yrs. The only gut buster I own is a PP 32
and I am sure I can shoot it well enough for its purpose.
 
Mine is a CZ-83. I can pick it up after not shooting it for years, and hit everything I aim for. Perfect ergonomics for me.

I understand where you are coming from.

I know it is going to sound snobbish but, trying to describe how a Model 845, Model 52, or something from the SIG X-family performs and reacts is like trying to describe how a McLaren or Ferrari handles the curves at 100+. Until you have experienced it, there is no point of reference for discussion. I was in awe once I drove my first "Exotic" and I understood how man and machine can interact at such a High Performance level

I typically do not start a person with a Model 52 as trigger follow through is important and is hard to master from the first shot, but it is the Smith and Wesson to beat

The SIG X-5/6 pistols (or any of the MasterShop offerings) are what I like to let shooters try first. They are so soft shooting and so accurate

It is great to see that ear to ear grin ;) after a shooter puts his/her first magazine through an X-5/6

What a difficult question to answer. My first answer could be one of three Model 10s that I own, except that one burned up in the fire and might not be shootable.

I know. A Model 10? But after shooting cowboy action with fixed sight Vaqueros for so many years shooting Model 10s is a breeze.

However, for CQB fighting, not bulls-eye stuff, it's very likely my Browning HP or my 4" M686+. I can point shoot those for center of mass in close quarters any day, never mind using the sights, in which case with sights I am probably better with the revolver "just because".

This one burned but it might still shoot - someday I'll find out - it was my "twitch" gun - So accurate I could take you out before you twitch (liberally stolen from a Miami Vice scene).

My first 250 out of 250 on the Texas CHL test, instead of 246 or 248, with this M10:

Personally, I shoot a lot of 1911's, N frames, and SA revolvers, so all three feel natural to me, though they are quite different.

Now of center fire handguns I don't shoot often, my BHP is probably the best at picking up cold, and shooting well.

Strangely enough, I tend to shoot my Model 940 better than my other guns. I shot a higher score with it than with any other gun I qualified with this year. I think its a combination of my small hands, its steel frame, light recoil and the Pachmayr Compac Pro grips I have on it.
