Why did you have to say that! That is what I didn't buy, when I bought the new 2.0!
Back on the list!

For Revolvers, I would have to say that the 586-1 is the best shooting S&W I have ever fired, and I have had some good ones over the years. I believe it has had some work on the trigger, and the grips feel perfect in my hand. The 4" underlug barrel balances everything perfectly.
I have several Semi-Autos to choose from, but right now I would say that this 1911 is the one that I like the best. It is a COLT Series 80 that a previous owner sent in to Wilson Combat, had the stock internals gutter and replaced with all Wilson parts.
It was also dehorned for carry, the front sight has an Orange insert around the tritium insert, so it shown up very nicely.
Trigger pull is outstanding.
And it is as accurate as it should be with all of the work that has gone into it.
It is a very long story about howI had to chase this one down as it eluded me one time, but I was ultimately able to acquire it.
I also recently picked up a drop-in threaded Storm Lake Barrel, as I want to get a can for it at some point.
Both of these guns are tack drivers.
I do not carry the 586, but the 1911 conceals very easily.

Like in golf ..... there is no single prefect club....... I think the limit in a bag is 14 specialized clubs...........................
With 84 different answers....... I guess the short answer on "'a perfect gun" is ....... NO!

Far from perfect but fits me like a glove: Model 10 snub square butt w/magnas & a grip adapter. It was carried for several years as my issued service revolver & the only gun I ever shot a perfect score with at qualification.

If there was a perfect gun made it would put all others out of business ..
And would be rather boring ..

I recently purchased a 9mm Shield that I really love. It just fits perfectly in my hand and shoots nice. Which has replaced my Springfield Armory Range Officer Champion 1911 (4" barrel) as my conceal carry gun. With that said, the Range Officer still gets top honors as my all around favorite.

A few "Standard" questions if you don't mind.
Does it shoot +P?
Is it effective against Bears?
Can you carry it inside the waist band?
Yes but they call it Zone 8 Red Bag instead of +P
Never tried it on a bear but I saw it take out an entire herd of wild hogs with 1 shot in Germany. Stripes were lost over that.
No. It's definitely designed for open carry.

First, I'll sidestep the CC black hole. After that it's a Ginger / Maryanne thing. Which one would I want to look at and fondle? Gin.....the mod 57 no dash four inch. Which one is comfortable and gives me a warm fuzzy? Colt 1911.

Definitely Maryanne.
