Have You Found Your Perfect Handgun?

[oldiegoldie]

No, I haven't, but I know what it would be....an H&K P30sk single stack. Nothing wrong with the P30sk as is though it is just a little chubby to carry iwb FOR ME. The gun I carry every day is the .380 Bodyguard and love the gun....totally reliable and accurate.

I just renewed my CCW and put my M431PD and M49 on the list.

So far, I like the 431 best. It disappears in my pocket and is so light I forget I'm carrying it.

It's shown below with a Nemesis holster, 32 H&R Magnum Critical Defense in a speed loader (my carry ammo) and a speed loader with Buffalo Bore 32 long round nose as a reload.

I may move to 32 H&R Magnum Buffalo Bore 100 gr JHP as both carry and reload ammo. Need more experience with it first.

Depending on attire and weather I bounce between my customized 640 and 351PD w/CT grips.

For a revolver, the Model 66 2 1/2" is just about perfect, for an auto the Springfield XDM in .45.

 

[TAC]

686 Plus 2.5" for EDC, and a 640 as a backup.

No such thins as the perfect handgun! If there was we would all stop searching for it and that would end all our fun. The closest I have come to perfect is a bobbed hammer M-64 snubby.

Now if they would just re-introduce the M-12 in a +P rated version with SS cylinder and barrel!

Right now, the "perfect" carry gun is a 6906 that has a really nice DA trigger pull. 12+1 in a very compact package suits me well.

The 3913 is also close to "perfect".

But where is yer Rough Rider?

I loaned it to a friend and he dry fired it and broke the firing pin. He said he only did it a "few" times. I just haven't had the time to deal with it and we are having too much month left at the end of the money lately. I'll either get it fixed or wait till Academy puts them on sale again and get a new one.

Not shooting much these days either and when I shoot .22s I'm still givin' my new Sig 1911-22 all the action. The rough rider is on the back burner for the time being.

 

[DevilDog72]

...uhhhh....no. That said my 19-8 4" is my favorite side arm and my OC, the most used ,however, is my 19-4 snub, EDC. I carry the 66-3 snub to church and other such occasions and the 642-1 nl rides along with the others......

Have I found the perfect carry gun? Why yes I have:

Perfect in every way.

I have a Hi Power too. They're fine too, but I'll stick with a man's caliber thank you. Y'all are welcome to continue with those sissy calibers if you like. Why fire twice when one will do?

Have I found my perfect handgun? I hope not because then I'd have no reason to buy more.

No, you're wrong about that. Even though I've found the perfect one, I still love guns. I'll continue to buy more as long as I'm able. This way I can compare and see that my chosen gun is more perfecter.

Shield 9 or a Model 49 J frame. Their title might be in jeopardy. Planning on acquiring the new Shield 45 when they finally become available. If it proves to be anywhere near as dependable as my 9mm, it'll become my favorite.

I didn't realize a Shield 45 acp was in the works.

I prefer pocket carry, but I really like 45 acp. I think it may be the best self defense caliber going.

But my 1911 (full sized) and 625JM are both too big and heavy to pocket carry.

Maybe I need bigger pockets.

CZ75 B omega.

 

[loeman]

Md 649-3 in .357 magnum. For me, this is as good as it gets.

 

[coachray]

I have two. I carry my shield 9mm most all the time, but there are a few times when my bodyguard 380 is needed.

 

[P-229]

Yep. John Moses Browning invented it over a century ago.

Yep. John Moses Browning invented it over a century ago.

I liked his idea so much that I have 24 1911s. That said, I also LOVE my BHP!

Putting collections aside, Have you found your perfect handgun to carry?
I've gone through a few and I believe I have, but there are 3 of them.
My number 1 carry is my Ruger LCP, next is my Smith Md. 36 and last but not least is my Glock 27.
When I first started to carry my one and only was a 37 Chiefs Airweight and that remained my mainstay for a lot of years.
Do you still carry your first?

Shield 9mm, which is replaced by my Bodyguard 380 when dress demands it. Smith PERFECTION!!!

I recently moved from the 442 to my Colt Cobra....about the same weight but an extra shot and still works on the ankle. For an auto, it's my HK P2000. The LEM works just like a nicely tuned revolver so all my triggers are similar as are the manual of arms, ie: no safeties, just pull the trigger.

Heh heh, I got "Charlene" from Private Pyle of Full Metal Jacket fame.

It took me a long time to make the connection, but he ended up on law and order.

640 appendix or pocket with buffalo bore 38+p 158SWC-HC. Really liking this set up
