Have You Found Your Perfect Handgun?

[BAM-BAM]

For all intents and purposes, I consider a 4" Model 19 the one of the best all around handguns both for range time and as a self defense gun.

I couldn't agree with you more..it's "one of the best".... except.... I'm lucky enough to have a 3 inch 66..... in my opinion a "bit "best'er"!!!!!!!!

Yes BHP with a little work done to it.

Currently I'm liking a nickel plated Model 38 with a reload in a speed strip. Traveling I carry a Glock 19 and two extra magazines. Working around the ranch, it's my KelTec PMR 30. As others have noted, there is no one perfect carry gun, IMHO.

While I have a few to choose from these days, it doesn't get much better than these:

Try a CZ82 or CZ 83. You might forget about that Makarov.

You mean the Czech gun with the fat grips that I can't conceal well?

Try a different holster, people can conceal a 1911 quite well, a CZ83 should be a cake walk.

I have a couple Baby Chiefs that I drop in my pocket on occasion, but mostly it's the Series 70 1911 that's my favorite.

In a wheel gun a snub K; an auto - haven't come to decision yet.

Summer LCP Custom

Other times... SP101, M&P 9c carries well too.. IWB

After many purchases, I "think" that I am settled on a Ruger LC9s pro because it lends itself to different methods of concealed carry and has an excellent trigger - however I cannot seem to part with my P938.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

Yes..........I have MANY that are perfect.

I will stick with my Makarov. It has proven flawlessly reliable in over 1,600 rounds of ammo through it. That REALLY makes me like it, and with 8+1 and a slim comfortable grip, it suit me very well. The CZ-82/83s are good guns, but too large for the 9x18mm cartridge IMHO.

Russian 9mm Makarov semi auto. Portable, fast, smooth, light, accurate, extremely dependable.

38 super shield

My ideal would be a Shield in 38 Super.

Yes, MANY TIMES. However there are times when my Perfect handgun is a 4 inch model 67, times when it's a 2 1/2 inch model 19, and times when it's either a 1911 Commander or a 1911 Government model. It seems that I have a rather difficult time in settling on what is Perfect on a Permanent basis. To be blunt, I just can't make up my mind.

I found mine about 20 years ago 45ACP 1911 Commanders. I just bought a Ruger LW Commander in 9mm and also have a Shield 9mm. But I'm a 45 guy at heart!!

 

[Neely52]

642 my edc. Fits in pocket with perfection. 5 rounds of 38+p and I'm good to go.

 

[MetalMan]

I rotate between these 3...

Model 60-15 in a Milt Sparks VM2
Model 66-4 in custom "Snubbyfan"
Kimber Ultra Carry in a Ken Campbell small-of-back

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.

Can't have one perfect handgun.
For concealed carry on dress-up, tucked shirt days my Sig P938, is perfect. On casual days, nothing beats the S&W 642 in a high ride IWB holster. If size is no issue, then the Springfield RO 1911 in 45 ACP is perfect.

Ditto! For my dress up days, it's a Bodyguard 380 in a pocket holster. Casual days, it's my Shield 40 in a DeSantis scabbard on my right hip, under an open shirt (over a t-shirt). My wife carries her 638 snub nose in her purse.
