most trusted handgun

Never had a problem with my .44 Anaconda, and I shoot it a lot... not exactly stealth though. I most often carry a Colt Cobra and I'd like to think that six .38s up close would get me through a tight spot. I'd feel fairly comfortable with my wife's P-90 too, although I've primarily been a revolver guy up to now. I'm in the autoloader market though.
 
it's nice to see such a variety of preferences! that's what makes this hobby/obsession great! we all like something different.:cool:

i have three i'd trust in a "situation"

1. is my glock 19c. over 5250 rounds(it is nearly seven months old) ZERO failures and it begs for more action each time i take it to the range. NEVER have I owned a handgun like this! i love it and will N E V E R sell it!

2. my russian makarov. much like the glock, the thing works! ball, hp, whatever. forget to clean it? no problem, load up the mags and have at it!

3. my fn five-seven. great gun, very modern. and how can you not giggle a little loading what looks like mini .223 in to a pistol! :)
 
My most trusted handgun: my Colt Custom Gun Shop Combat Commander .45 ACP, along with Winchester 185 gr. Silvertip ammuntion. A superb combination that I shall continue to depend on for many years to come.
 
my 2 most trusted

i always carry 2 hand guns,and one knife,,my Sig.p228 has never failed and my S&W 340pd
 
If I don't trust a pistol it gets removed from the collection, but of the handguns I might carry out, the S&W 638 is the least likely to have any problems.
 
Given just one bg at close range, my S&W 637 revolver. Made well, and I like the idea that I can just pull the trigger again if I am unfortunate enough to hear "click".
On the other hand, my bedside gun is my Beretta Px4 Storm - it makes me happy because of its reliability and larger capacity should it ever be needed.
 
All my handguns are reliable (so far) so I wouldn't wet my pants if I found myself in that situation with any of them. I generally carry two since, in my experience, all machinery will at some point fail no matter how well designed or maintained.

But to pick from the litter...

In revolvers I'd take my S&W M-29 six inch loaded with Speer Short Barrel 200 grain JHP .44 magnum ammo (good mid range load).

In an autoloader, it would be my.45 ACP 1911 Springer TRP loaded with Hornady TAP 230 grain .45 +P JHPs.

Just my thoughts.

I'm not sure if I have the right to answer on this topic, seeing as the only time I "carry" a Pistol or Revolver is when I'm outside city limits and shooting at a friends farm, or range, etc. Also I only own two revolvers at this time, both I would trust in a worst case senerio (hopefully never happens). One is aCommercial made Post-WWII Webley & Scott Ltd. Mk. IV .380" Revolver, the other is a 1966-1967 era S&W Model 10-5 .38 Special Revolver with a standard 4" barrel.

If I had to choose which to trust a bad situation, it would be the S&W Model 10. The Webley is a great revolver, really enjoy shooting it, but I'd rather have a .38 Special than having a .380" (aka .38 S&W) in a crisis. Other than hearing some people not like the .38 Special Cartridge, I have not heard much bad said about the actual S&W Model 10 (or many other K-frame S&Ws) Revolver.
Thanks

Since I care enough to send the very best, I would deliver DoubleTap 165gr Gold Dots with my Delta Gold Cup. IT"S NEVER MALFUNCTIONED!!!
Yeah right.
So many of these gun owners here are truly blessed to have such marvelous weapons that have NEVER so much as hiccuped or had a bad round chamber up. Never limp wristed a shot. Never dropped a mag and bent the lips a little. Keep shooting lads, your time is coming.
