BEST AUTO PISTOLS YOU OWNED

[mjr]

Although I love blue steel and walnut, the most utterly reliable autoloader I've ever owned is my G26 (9mm baby Glock).

One of its big advantages is that I can eat salted peanuts and then pick it up without washing the salt off my hands, something I'd never do with one of my revolvers.

Sig P220 carry is the best auto I've got. Although they don't get too much attention, I love my S&W M&P .40. 2500+ rounds through it in the past two years and no FTFs or FTEs what so ever.

CZ Shadow custom from Ghost Products/ CZ Custom

 

[DeadAye]

Colt Lightweight Commander - 45ACP

 

[625smith]

52-1

Best $400 I ever spent.

 

[sipowicz]

Browning Hi Power

I have not been without at least one since I have began buying guns about 45 years ago.

Same here...Don't think it has ever jammed on me in 30 years...next would be my HK P2000...

A pair of stock West German SIG 228s. Both survived a pair of week-long Thunder Ranch sessions (when TR was in TX), and have functioned flawlessly with 1,000s of rounds between them. A West German SIG 220 comes in a close second, but has not seen nearly the use of the 228s.

Most accurate Springfield Armory 1911 Mil Spec it's my new favorite
Most dependable SW M&P .45
Most fun CZ75B

Ruger P95.

By far...my SIG P228. Best shooting handgun I've ever owned. My P226 is a close second, but somehow didn't equal it. Sold it after getting a traffic citation. Only gun that I've gotten rid of that I truly miss.

 

[QuercusMax]

Perhaps a minority opinion, but my BuckMark Camper is just a lot of fun and very accurate as well.

 

[Fat B]

Wow, Sigs are getting some love in this thread. Makes a guy think...

 

[CW Spook]

The Ruger MkI bull-barrel I had 30 years ago was pretty sweet, but my Springfield Mil-Spec that I had the Springfield Custom Shop fit with their "defense package" would be my favoritest of all.

 

[CH47gunner]

This one - CZ75 P01 w/ Kadet .22lr conversion kit.
Both have functioned perfectly. The conversion kit is a blast and cheap too.

And a close second, after I installed an VQ extractor, is a Ruger MKII Target 512.

My S&W model 41 is the most enjoyable gun I have ever fired.

Wow, Sigs are getting some love in this thread. Makes a guy think...

I held several Sigs and none of them ever impressed me. A friend wanted to sell his 228 because he could no longer get free 9mm at work. I was going to pass until he put a price on it:$250. I wouldn't pass that up.

The first range trip was not particularly impressive. The second trip I split time between the Sig and an FNP9. 25 rounds into the FN I realized that I wished I was still shooting the Sig.

I sold the FN that day. Now, the Sig keeps growing on me. I won't use it for EDC because I don't want it to rust. Otherwise, it goes to the range every time I do.

CZ75, Kimber 1911 runs a close second.
