Your "favorite" semiauto

I've owned High Powers, Semi Premium 1911's , S & W M & P's and Glocks. I've shot Sig 229's, CZ 75s, and various HK's including a the personal favorite P7. For years I was a 1911 guy convinced by gun porn and the fine shooting qualities of the Kimbers I owned (I know people knock them but mine were accurate and reliable). I had 5" Custom shop Eclipse with a Dawson light rail in my night stand and carried a CDP 4". They were tack drivers, pretty and I lusted for more. My first handgun was a Glock 23 Gen 1 which I sold when I abandoned 40 cal for .45. But along with my Kimbers I picked up a Glock 19 with a re-worked trigger that was customized a bit before our last administrations first term because I wanted a hi-cap 9 in the quiver in case another mag ban was passed.

Anyway like many others I ran into some financial trouble during the financial meltdown, had to sell the 5" Kimber and one other thing I began to notice along the way was I shot the Glock 19 as good as my Kimbers. In drill after the Glock performed comparably. At the time better 9mm HP ammo was developed, and I was struggling financially so I sold the other Kimbers and became a Glock guy, I must admit I love my Glocks, they work, require far less investment in time and energy for cleaning, have a great aftermarket, and do what I need a gun to do which is respond if I need to deal with a bad guy. If I ever got some money I might buy another 1911 or High Power, but they would be safe queens the Glock stays on the belt. Just picked up a 19x for my nightstand gun, and have a 30SF I'm switching to 10mm for a Bear/woods gun. For me Glock is it.

A month ago, I would have told you my Walther PPQ but I just recently bought my first CZ, a 75B SA. I have a feeling the answer to that question may soon change.

I like soulless, utilitarian, reliable pistols with broad aftermarket support. Glock 17/19 or M&P 2.0’s for me.

C-96 Broomhandle Mauser. In 7.63 Mauser. Lousy sights, lousy ergonomics, lousy trigger and a pain in the butt to load without stripper clips....but more fun than a monkey with a hand grenade to shoot !!!

That's dang funny

HK P2000, Sig 220 and 1911 (Colt, Kimber, Springfield).....

My SD9 VE is my favorite. The fit in my hand is perfect. Striker fired, no safeties to fiddle with and I like the look. Its been 100 % reliable.

Favorite semi is H&K P30L. Egos are great. Hammer fired with a great decocker. Double/Single action. Polymer adult soze that carries like a compact but shoots like a full-size. Can’t say enough about the fit and finish and German engineering and design. Trijicon night sights. Stippled and changeable grip panels to fit your hand. Best part is I shoot it so much better than other pistols. You will too.

Sig p228, 1911A1, and HK P7.

CZ75 and its derivatives. Kimber, Glock, HK USP, Browning Hi-Power, all fine firearms, but CZ is hands down my favorite.

Glock 26, goes everywhere I go.

Springfield XD service... Was my first gun, and it fits my hand better than everything I've fired since.
