most trusted handgun

[jgo296]

say the situation arose where you need to shoot a bg at close range with a handgun you own
which handgun in your arsenal would you most trust? (concealability isnt a factor)
for me it would be my s&w 296 snubnose 44spec

 

[Coyote3855]

Ruger Vaquero .45 Colt.

 

[bikerdoc]

Cz 75

 

[CountGlockula]

My Glock 35, because that's the one I trained with.

 

[jad0110]

Most trusted handgun ...

S&W 686 Plus 357 Magnum. Super reliable, pointable and scary accurate. The only handgun that I can shoot as well is my S&W K-22. It just works for me. 'Course, I'd rather have my 12 ga.

Doesn't hurt that it looks cool too .

 

[Cosmoline]

Ruger Speed Six.

 

[Mastiff]

My Norinco 213, a RussianTokarev TT-33 clone manufactured in China in 9x19mm. It is the most reliable and most accurate handgun I own. I've put a spare barrel modified to 9x23 on it. I shoot CorBon Pow'rball in 9x23 Winchester which is one heck of a self defense round.

 

[zxcvbob]

Ruger Bisley-Blackhawk, .45 Colt +P.

(Second choice is probably S&W Model 15-4.)

 

[wnycollector]

S&W 28-2...the big N frame is rock solid!

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

Glock 19. I've had it the longest and it has had the fewest malfunctions. Despite some other guns which are better in some ways coming along since then, it is still the one I go back to.

 

[SimpleIsGood229]

My SIG-Sauer P229R 9mm, loaded with Cor-Bon 125 +P and a SureFire X300 on the rail. Sights are Trijicon front, standard contrast rear.

 

[makarovnik]

At close range it would be my Russian Makarov. It has never hiccuped. For longer range I would trust my Ruger P95DC. For even longer range I would trust my Tokarev. It has jammed only once in five years. The other have never jammed.

If ammo availability was an issue I would stick with my P95DC.

 

[Claude Clay]

a carry gun is either trusted or not. 'most trusted' is akin to 'most unique'. i have difficulty assigning levels of trust in this situation. that said, i will stipulate that i 'trust' my Sig p239-40 'most' on days ending in y.

 

[searcher451]

Walther P99C. It's 100 percent reliable 100 percent of the time.

 

[The Bushmaster]

S&W factory nickel Mod 19 2 1/2" Combat magnum...Works for me...

 

[41magsnub]

My Security six has never had a malf of any kind, after 20 years. I'd have to go with that out of my stable.

 

[WayaX]

GLOCK 20 if concealability isn't a factor. I'd have the same faith in all my guns though, if I didnt, I wouldn't own them.

 

[Car Knocker]

I trust them all - unreliable guns are of no interest to me.

 

[Eyesac]

Believe it or not, my G23 & 27 are the only pistols I have that have never malfunctioned ever, and everything else I have has for one reason or another hicuped...

 

[igpoobah]

Glock 22: 10 years, thousands of rounds and zero failures.

 

[hrgrisso]

Sig Family

I've got a few sigs and depending on the time of the year it depends for me. Usually I've got the 226 by the bed but occasionally I swap in the 220 or the 2340 for it.

 

[springmom]

My Kimber Ultra Carry II. It is my concealed handgun, it is the one I train with most, it is the one I can work in the dark. It's the one that feels most like a part of me, so it's the one I trust most.

Springmom

 

[Vern Humphrey]

An M1911. My current carry gun is a Kimber Classic, MKI.

 

[Fat Boy]

Maybe a part of the question should be "which gun can I do without" after shooting a BG, in that Law Enforcement will likely take your gun for a while, maybe a long while...not to hijack the thread, but what about inexpensive, reliable guns that wouldn't leave a big hole in your gun collection?

 

[GuyC]

My Glock 27. It is extremely reliable.
