most trusted handgun

[Markbo]

Each and every handgun that I own that is not a rimfire. I trust each and every one implicitly so the answer would be 'the one closest to me'.

 

[Hoppy590]

close range.single BG, conceal ability not important. a revolver. Smith and Wesson or Colt.

 

[glockman19]

Glock 19

 

[Guitargod1985]

HK USP compact .40 S&W.

I don't have that one anymore, so it would have to be either my Ruger P90 (.45 ACP) or my P2000 SK (9mm). Neither has had a failure of any kind.

Without A Doubt

West German .45 caliber SIG-SAUER P220A~!

 

[woad_yurt]

Makarov, S&W Model 67, Norinco 213 or the chrome monster, my CZ 52. Reliability-wise, they're all about the same: excellent. The Norinco (9MM) and the CZ pack more of a wallop than the other two, though. If had to choose one shot, it'd be the CZ with Wolf hollowpoints, the most wallop of all.

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?

I don't carry a handgun based on what one I could afford to lose. If I ever have to use my gun, that thought will be the last thing on my mind.

 

[Hunter0924]

Colt 1991A1 in .45 Automatic.

 

[jdc1244]

All of my CZs and Colt 1911s.

 

[guntotinguy]

My XD 4".45 OR my S&W 1911 PD

 

[Slamfire]

Not an easy choice.

357 Magnum M66-2

 

[Archer1945]

Which ever of my hanguns is closest as they are all loaded with ammo that will go boom if I have to pull the trigger.

 

[XnaV80]

For me, my Browning HI-power practical 9mm. Double taps are quick and easy.

 

[nj.piney]

the gun i have with me, some may take more shots than others.

 

[mavracer]

close range.single BG, conceal ability not important.and since we're in fantasy land (cause I I know its going down and have time to chose any of my weapons, I'm calling in sick) I'll take my Delta Elite Compgun with 135 noslers over 12.5 grns of longshot there only going 1550ish FPS

 

[modifiedbrowning]

Walther P99.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

s&w 500, I don't even need to shoot it, the sight of it alone would cause someone to die of fear

 

[Glockman17366]

Which ever one is closest at hand...all handguns I keep out have proven themselves to be reliable.
None of those are collectables (tools vs. pride and joy)

 

[ShelbyV8]

S&w 4506

 

[JesseL]

Toss up between the old S&W M&P .38 and the Ruger Blackhawk .41 Mag.

 

[Shadan7]

Yeah, I'm with those who say "whatever is closest" - given your scenario, most any of my non-rimfire pistols would be fine with me (other than the little junk .25 Raven I keep as a paperweight...)

Seriously, I'd trust any of the "real" guns to do their job at that range.

 

[Shadow1198]

My Sig P220. The gun just won't stop. It just keeps going and going and never malfunctions except for when I've done something stupid like putting untested aftermarket parts in it (converting back to stock fixed that). I love them and have grown to be most comfortable with them.

I'd also take a G19 any day of the week. I like Glocks. They are simple, reliable, and just plain work which is all anyone really needs. Yeah the grip angle takes a bit more effort because I tend to point high, but I don't mind overlooking that compared to the other benefits their guns have.

 

[NorthCounty]

My HK USP40 has never let me down!

 

[weisse52]

Any of my 1911's.

 

[usmccpl]

This one. Lots of punch. And I dont miss with it.
