Have You Found Your Perfect Handgun?

[deadear dan]

Glock 36. Single stack of 6 + 1 230gr HST with ridiculous reliability gives me peace of mind.

 

[DelawareDave]

There ain't much wrong with the model 3913...

Summer - Ruger LCP
Winter - Ruger LC9s
Other CZ 75D ( PCR )

No. And I plan to keep on looking. And looking. And looking . . ..

 

[mule69]

Yes I have. The Colt commander (04692) is the perfect handgun. With the right holster and belt it is comfortable to carry. I am for the most part a mediocre shot but with this weapon I can actually hit what I aim at out to 25 yards.

 

[Shark Bait]

I'd have to say that my new model 69 with the 2.75 inch barrel is a real contender here. Lots of versatility since I can use holsters I already have for my 686 and the variety of ammunition it can handle.

Well after 10 years and 15 or so guns I've come full circle started out with a Model 37. Somehow became enamored with bottom feeders. Those are all gone except for a Glock in the nightstand. I've narrowed it down to these two, sometimes I carry both. A M&P 340 that I weld it up the internal lock holes.. it's now wearing a bead blasted finish and a titanium cylinder that I fitted. I'm kind of a two is one one is none kind of guy so I picked up 340pd no lock. I don't see myself ever carrying anything but a revolver and these two fit the bill perfect.

 

[RubenZ]

For me its my SIG -938 cocked and locked. In Winter time its my Colt Combat Commander

 

[Talldog]

I really love my Ruger SR9c, but it has become a home gun. My Shield 9 may end up being the one I carry until it wears out.

 

[CheEng1]

BG380 w/ extra mag.

 

[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.

 

[Lee's Landing Billy]

The next one.

 

[Autonomous]

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.

 

[mrmike7189]

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.

 

[loknload]

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.

 

[gasaman]

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

 

[cmort666]

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.

 

[Walkingwolf]

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

 

[Whitwabit]

Not sure If I would call them my perfect carry pistols .. but the three I am very comfortable with and carry both IWB and OWB through out the year are the following in no particular order .. 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 ..

Carried at 4:30 everyday for the past several years ..
