Have You Found Your Perfect Handgun?

[mustangman]

I've tried the Shield 40, and Glock G27 which is 40 also.
Now I carry a CZ P-07 in 9mm.
I've decided that striker subs chambered in 40 aren't for me.
I like the DA/SA w/de-cocker in a compact size 9 a lot better.
It may not be perfect, but for me right now, its pretty dang close.

The next one.

Here she is, Walther PPKS .22 rf. In a shoulder holster, she is comfortable to carry, don't even know she is there. Handy to get to and CCI Minemags are cheap. Average shooting 20 rounds a day. has been with me over 20 years.

The PPK is a great gun that is too often overlooked.
The polymer guns may weigh less but none can match it's track record.

BG380 w/ extra mag.
Me too...the thing about having a favorite carry gun is you need to really CARRY it. The BG380 is the only gun I actually carry reguarly. My other guns are all in a safe at home locked up begging to get carried!

 

[Mehutch]

Perfect, I don't know, I haven't tried them all. But this is what I trust on my everyday outings.



Gee that was an easy choice.

Glad to see this post is still active!
A lot of nice handguns have been pictured as well.
As of now my favorite and most easily carried is my Ruger LCP.

 

[BigCityChief]

My favorite pistol for EDC today is a new Sig P225A-1.

I am always just one gun away from attaining perfection.

 

[Lostaro]

My M36....accurate, powerful enough and easy to conceal.

Have to admit a close second is my 3" GP100 (sorry S&W)

....the 36 was my grandfather's and was the first handgun I ever shot. Still carry it a lot.

A much newer 442 is generally my EDC, but it's just a tool.

 

[Jessie]

Perfect? Nope, but what I am usually carrying is a 36, 442 or a Sig 938.
The Ruger LCP is usually along for the ride, regardless.
Colder weather it could be a G19 or a Commander but I find them a little more cumbersome after the previous picks.

Summer=
S&W CS9D or S&W 340 M&P
Winter=
S&W 4553 TSW or S&W 325NG

I don't know about "perfect", but my Citadel 3.5CS certainly meets my current needs. It:

• is in an effective caliber, .45acp.
• is abundantly accurate at typical engagement ranges.
• reliable enough to trust my life to.
• is short and thin enough to be comfortably carried in a tuckable IWB holster.
• was very reasonably priced from a local big box chain.

Whichever gun I have holstered on the hip is the perfect carry. Right now it is a Uberti 51 Navy cartridge conversion around the house.

My usual OC is a Star Super A, or 4 inch GP100, but there are others depending on my mood.

 

[oldiegoldie]

the Springfield XD-E may be the one I have been waiting for. Will buy one as soon as available locally. I'm too old to wait for the bugs to be discovered and fixed.

 

[rwt1405]

For me it would be two, my 3953 (bought it new in 1991) and my 642 (bought in 1996 or 1997?).

 

[ldryder]

M&P 340! Very light weight, and I can comfortably shoot .357 Mag rounds with the addition of Crimson Trace LG-350 Lasergrips to back up the already incredible sights.

 

[les.b]

I have an awful lot of handguns, but this is what I mostly carry:



A 340 PD, with a Galco horsehide pocket holster, and loaded with Speer 357 magnum short barrel 135 gr. Gold Dots.

I feel confident with it, and loaded in the holster, weight is just under 16 ounces. With me constantly, unless I feel like carrying something else just for variety.

Best Regards, Les

Beretta PX4 Sub Compact in 9mm .. S&W Compact in 40 S&W and my Sig P229 Legion in 40 S&W .. and my Sig P238 for my BUG ..
