Just go to thinking, about all the pistols I've had and tried over the years:
BHP, Glock, Ruger GP100, SiG 220, M92FS, HK USP, HK P7, Colt's Gov't Model, CZ75...on and on, the one that is still with me after all these years...
'70 Series Gov't Model.
Except for the BHP, which I still regret letting go, the others have never struck me as anything more than a "tool". None have been able to unseat the Gov't Model as my "favorite".
Funny how all the newcomers discuss trigger pull on all the new crop of tactical polymer pistols, but I have yet to find one like the Colt. It's slim, accurate, dead reliable, and simple to detail strip. 80 years and still at the top of the heap as the combat pistol most seen in the hands of the elite.
What a pistol!!!
I recently picked up an XD 45 service, have yet to shoot it, but I bought it for a range gun, and to see what all the fuss was all about. Hope she's a good'un!
