G27 unsurpassed?

Springfield EMP in .40

"Legendary" is subject to interpretation.

Glocks come in a new flavor, now, called M&P. M&P 40c is "at least equivalent."

XD40 Subcompact or M&P 40c

I'd take either over the Glock any day.

And I'd love to get my hands on an EMP 40.

How about the STI LS40 for meeting points a-d in the original post?

Personally, I prefer the HK P2000SK over the Glock. Just personal preference, though.

The Glock 29. Just a little bigger, but it delivers OH SO MUCH more! I know, I know! Just PRETEND it's the same size!

Colt Gov't Model.

1) better caliber
2) mine has proven itself reliable
3) can be used to beat a miscreant about the head with great effectiveness, unlike a Block
4) is thinner than the Block, therefore it's not larger if one measures the width

Oh and I have nothing against the G27. I'm carrying one right now. But I'm lusting after an EMP. I can't just bring myself to cross the $1000 barrier yet.

Friends don't let friends own or shoot Glocks. Walther PPs or P99C is is superior.

The Glock 27 is one of the best handguns ever designed.
10+1 rounds of .40 in such a compact, yet still very controllable package, is very hard to beat.

The Colt Gov't model is way too big and heavy.
And the capacity really sucks for such a heavy and bulky pistol.

Just ordered my first 26.

Thought I'd throw this out there:

That's kind of a moot point since the intended purpose is to put lead downrange, not using it as a clubbing tool. A friend of mine was actually hit in the head with a glock during a robbery. He woke up several minutes later needing stitches. Any of the plastic wonders have steel slides and I assure you that I'm not willing to let anyone bash me about the melon with them. It will disorient you and it is a potentially deadly attack if you're hit in the right spot.

Walther P99c

M&P 40c, although its not old enough to be legendary

Surpass a G26/27 for carry? Easy, a steel Kahr.
I guess that's the beauty of choice. 8)

I don't think you'll find a constructive argument here, since you pretty much stated you love the G26 series and think it's the perfect gun. I liked mine a lot, too. Good to know you found your gun.

First off, let me say that I feel that there is no "best." Only what we feel is best for a given, specific application based on our own prejudiced and subjective experiences.

Walther P99c

One thing that always struck about the walther's were there resemblance to this:





I like the walther's. They just aren't my choice.

I carry a G27. I have no problem trusting my life with this gun. I also carry it as a 357sig at times (like in the winter when I might need added penetration due to winter coats and such). I practice with the 9mm conversion barrel at the range often, when I want to shoot longer & cheaper. It is a good platform for my CC gun. I do agree that the G29 is a truly superb CC gun. I have toyed with the idea of adding it to my safe (along with 50 other guns!!!).

Walther better trigger, more ergonomic, more accurate and best thing its not a Glock.

I like my HK P2000sk too because I prefer a double action hand gun. Mine has been accurate and dependable.

Not a fact...simply a preference. Ergonomics are in the hands of the holder and are usually nothing more than a big word for personal preference. I bought a used XDM and felt it was an ergonomic disaster compared to my glocks or my 1911's.

more accurate

95% of pistols are more accurate than the shooters. You likely will never notice a benefit from that accuracy (if it even exists) unless you are shooting on a bench from a mounted device that takes the shooter out of the equation completely.

I rather have a CZ or a Bersa or anything else.

For the size I much rather have a .357 snub nose.
