What is your favourite sidearm

On my CCW I have the colt Goverment 380, Sig p239, and Glock 36. The rest stay in the safe and move to the range or back of property in the spring. I do prefer the Sig.

I hated the look of Glocks and was biased against them for no objective reason when they first came out.
When the first Glock .45's came out, I got in on a LE Only Special price which was a smoking deal at the time,and bought one, and after shooting it, quickly became a convert. I now think they are an attractive pistol.
I own far more Glocks in different calibers and sizes in my collection now than all other handguns combined. I like the other handguns fine, but I appreciate the qualities of the Glock. For daily use it is my choice.
The one ND I have had wasn't with a Glock. It was with a handgun with a safety. Like 99% of all ND's it was operator error, not the gun's fault.
I think the safety on a pistol can in some circumstances lead to a false sense of security and some complacency in the person carrying it that isn't there for a trained Glock user, since the Glock user KNOWS the gun will fire if the trigger is pressed.

Well, I did again. On the way home fro Headshots house I stopped to purchase ammo at a local gun shop. I walked out with not only ammo, but a Serpa paddle hoster and you guessed it, another 1911. Springfield Loaded "Operator" with the Pachmayer grips from the factory, olive drab frame with integral rail and the works.
My credit agency is going to start sending hitmen to my house.

Well, these pistols don't come without a high cost. My credit card is screaming to stop swiping her. Not to mention I'm in the dog house with the better half.
She'll get over it when she see's what I purchased for her.

I am a huge fan of my Beretta 92FS's. I have one setup as a comp gun and the other is stock. Accuracy is AMAZING! Much better than any Glock I have ever seen. I shoot regularly with LE's who have Glocks and even they shoot better with my 92FS. I have a FNH Compact Dac 9mm. I carry it in the summer because of the size! Great weapon too. Triger needed some work to remove excess travel but once the trigger jobs was done it became like a glove.
I have a new Spring Field .45 that is the cats meow!!! But I do not have enough rounds through it yet to carry.
I have a Beretta 86 in .380 (Dad bought it before he passed). It is OK but not enough POP if you get my drift. Shoots fine and is accurate as well. FN is good kit! But if I was only going to have one hand gun it would probably be my 92FS. 15+1 rounds and can handle Corbon ++P's. Very accurate and very reliable.
But hand guns are like beautiful woman! Everyone has a different opinion of what beautiful is! Find one that is a quality piece that fits you well and shoot it until you have muscle memory and can do a failure drill in the dark and still hit what your aiming at!!! Instinctively!!!
SHOT PLACEMENT, SHOT PLACEMENT, SHOT PLACEMENT!!!
Good Luck and post some gun porn when you get it! We love Gun Porn here!!!

Hopefully my gun man, Dan, who has 12 distributors, will call me and tell me my GI Champion is finally in, and I will come up there and shoot the street lights out with it. BTW, I shot a fuckin snake out of a ditch with an issue 1911 and he fuckin flew 10 feet in the air. It was a beautiful shot...I didn't even aim, I just pointed and blasted that motherfucker.;) Hey, bro, You are All World...

It's very possible to shoot out street lights and speed limit signs when your with the Duece and Headshot. Snakes ? we've got plenty of em for ya.
But shot placement with a .45 is better than with a 9mm... :)
