What's in your plastic semi auto collection?

19c,17rtf2,34x2,35 and a xds.
A vast majority are likely to go bye bye in the near future.
 
Your joking right? Please tell me you’re joking. I have a g23 and a usp 45 that don’t get shot much anymore but they are both tried and true defensive pistols. Way more than any ruger or hi point could ever be. I just can’t fathom how a g23 and usp 45 couldn’t make the cut but a lcp and c9 could. Am I missing something here?

Nothing was wrong with the USP, I just never had a need for it and only bought it because it was a deal I couldn't pass up. When I sold it I used the money to get an SR1911, which seems to make it to the range a lot more than the USP did. There are days I wish I still had it, but not enough to go buy one since I'll never find another one for $400.

The G23 jammed on me 4 times in the 3,000 rounds I put through it, and I never could shoot it accurately but that wasn't the gun's fault because I had friends that could shoot it well. The G23 was replaced by a CZ75, which again I like much better, can shoot much better, and it hasn't failed yet. Actually, none of my center-fire semi-auto's have ever jammed (even the Hi Point) except for that Glock. After needing a dowel rod to extract a spent case for the 2nd time I decided the Glock had to go.

To be fair, I don't really care for any polymer framed semi-auto I've ever held or shot. The LCP is kept around because it's so darned small and light and it disappears in my pocket when I can't carry anything larger. I have the C9 because I only spent $120 on it, it's reliable and is surprisingly accurate, and I can keep it in my garage and don't really care if a $120 gun rusts.

The 1911 and Cz 75 were definitely good replacements for the usp and glock 23. Especially if you experienced problems or didn’t enjoy shooting them. That’s all that really matters anyways, reliability and enjoyment. My g23 and usp have both been reliable and accurate with both over 10,000 rounds. I don’t shoot them that much anymore because some of the modern guns I own have better ergonomics and triggers, which contribute to me shooting them a bit more efficiently with less effort. My g23 and usp 45 both hold a special place in my gun collection though.
 
Just two right now. Glock 27 G3 and a Canik TP9SFX with a Vortex Venom on it.

I have owned a number of others (XDS, Glock 22, 26, 27, 34, 35, 37, fn fnx, XD full size 45 and a Canik TP9SA) but I get bored, sell stuff off and buy other stuff.

That's quite the collection—especially the H&Ks!
 
Never could get excited about Polymer.
2 M&P pro series {9mm, 40S&W} USPSA guns.
Taurus 709 slim {tried to get rid of this one 2 or 3 times, just like it too much, shoots str8}
Glock 42 {wife's gun}
 
I have other handguns but only have one plastic semi-auto. ........ A Glock 19, Gen. 3, purchased new in 2012..... Shot some G-19's that didn't belong to me a few times at the range and decided to get one of my own. It's still all original except for a set of those Trijicon sights that old guys seem to prefer. Something about that utilitarian, no frills, nothing fancy, basic reliable simplicity of Glocks is something that appeals to me. Although generally I'm still kind of partial to wheelguns.

Both my wife and I have Kahr CW45s. She also has a CW9.

I carry the CW45 and keep a Ruger CS9s as a spare.
