BOXRULES, have you checked out DoubleTap ammunition yet? Their 10mm were fired out of a Glock 20 with a shorter (4.6) barrel, yet still got 1350 fps with the 180 gr Controlled expansion JHP, and 1300 fps with the 200 gr. Beartooth FMJ (for hunting / woods defense)! Check it out!
www.doubletapammo.com
I saw Buffalo Bore using a 5" barrel to fire their 10mm 180 gr. and got 1350; 200 FMJ got 1200.
I'm assuming with a 5" barrel shooting DoubleTap ammo, you can roughly get 1390 to 1400 fps with the 180 gr. Controlled expansion JHP rounds, and 1340-1350 fps shooting the 200 gr. Beartooth!
DoubleTap seems to also have a bigger variety of 10mm rounds to pick from! From 135 gr. to 230 gr.

My Smith 586, 6" barrel. My most accurate handgun (in my hands), and with full magnum loads, plenty of power.

Like has been said many times before...I don't own any, I don't trust. My standard carry is my Baby Eagle .45. If 8 shots will not stop the BG, it is heavy enough to beat him off of you.
But in reality anything I own, from my 22's on up to .357mags...depends on what he want to be shot by I guess...

Any of my S&W .38's...but if all I had was my Ruger MK II loaded with Stingers I wouldn't feel too awful bad for myself!
That said...I generally carry a Beretta .22 LR on my person with a snubby in the glove box.

That jogged my memory. I'll go with my Gunsite CCO. It's been 100% reliable from the start and it's a Series 70 system.
I'd add a few do-dads for fit, and exchange some parts for forged/machined ones. I'd then add some night sights and a more durable final finish.
My idea of best, for sure.

OOOO, I'll play. I put my trust in my HK USP 45 or 9, either of my 1911s and either of my 92fs'

S&W Sigma 40VE with a 180gr Hornady TAP in the pipe
feel free to laugh but then please proceed to stand in front of it and tell me how that feels.
what u have and what it costs mean nothing if it is not reliable. and reliability means maintenance and alot of practice, not to mention testing different ammo. i will shoot a gun untill i am sure it will always go bang, even if it means doing some shadetree gunsmithing. if it still refuses to consistantly go bang then i get rid of it because a gun u cant trust is a gun u dont need.
with that said, its all about whats in reach. if all i have is my 9x18 FEG then thats what i use. i know it will go bang and thats all that counts... well that and hitting the target of course
now, in a perfect world in that instance i'd rather have a 12 ga... the distant 2nd would be a 4" .357 with 125gr JHP but i dont own those yet
btw, anyone who would, even for a second, base their decision on which gun they would cry about less when the cops seize it after a shooting has bigger and deeper problems than any armed attacker could ever pose...

If I had no choice and was up against the wall, no where to evade...
Hmmm...
If it absolutely, positively has to get done, then make mine a 1911.
I can control it, double tap it, and drill the BG with accurate, sustained volleys of 230g mortar balls. To me, this spells relief.
In WW II, 9mm Axis bullets would connect with our GI's, they would return fire with .45acp and kill their attackers. Numerous accounts of this by both Allied and Axis combatants. I'm not saying the 9mm Axis rounds weren't sometimes fatal, just that ours were more consistently so and more immediate in effect.

Since unreliable guns aren't allowed at my house, it'd be a 6-shot 38, a six-shot 357, a five shot 44 Special or an 8-shot 45ACP, depending on what room I was in. If I had time to pick one, I'd grab the 13-shot EAA Witness in 40, just in case capacity became a factor. I practice with them all, so it wouldn't matter much!

Don't you hate it when you come across an older thread and have to check to see if you responded to it already
I don't think I've hit this one yet so here's my pic (picks).....
Ruger Service Six, if I were in a survival situation and had to trust one gun to not fail its difficult not to pick a revolver. My Service Six is simple, reliable, accurate, tough, no frills, no feed concerns, just pull the trigger and I'm certain it will go bang.
If I had to pick an auto and a revolver I would definitely say that I would trust my Sig 229 above any other auto. Its still a new gun to me I've only had it a short while but so far its been flawless and its quickly becoming my favorite auto of all time and I've owned a lot!
