What you like better?

[RifleDude4Ever]

What type of Pistol do you like better? 9mm, 45, or another? I want to see what is the most popular handgun. Thanks.

 

[Ala Dan]

I will kick things off-

SIG-SAUER P220A .45 ACP

Sig Sauer

Ooh, I heard they were good from two people. What is so good about them?

 

[10-Ring]

Me likes HK!!!

 

[Marshall]

9mm = Browning Hi-Power, CZ-75SA

.45ACP = Sig 220 ST, H&K USP

.40 S&W = Springfield XD , CZ PO-1, Sig Pro 2340

.380 = Sig P232

 

[Brick]

Maybe we should post like Marshall did to keep this from a .357 vs. 9mm vs .45.



Edit, BTW, welcome rifledude.

Visit often and post wisely.

rifledude,

are you asking which guns we prefer, or which caliber we like to shoot?

In anycase, I'll simply my answer. A 1911 platform in .45 ACP

answer your question?

 

[faustulus]

Hi Power in 9mm
Because no matter how you rationalize it .45 are for people trying to compensate

 

[Remington788]

.45, because there is a reason why most 9mm's carry twice as much ammo.



I also shoot better with my 1991A1.

 

[TK73]

Actually, I like both of them. Each caliber has its advantages and disadvantages. For self-defense a good case can be made for my Glock 17. My most favourite pistol is an early-production Les Baer Premier II .45 ACP, though. Can't imagine myself ever parting with it.

Regarding stopping power debate, any guys out willing to volunteer as test persons for my real world 9 mm Luger defensive ammo evaluation I intend to do soon? You know, the 9 mm Luger is impotent (or so I've heard from various folks) and I bet it'll hurt just a little bit...

 

[Werewolf]

I prefer:

CZ-75B SA for .40 (all metal frame - eats up the snappy recoil of a .40 better than a plastic gun does)

S&W 1911 for .45 (sorry Ala Dan but as much as I like my Sig P220 the 1911 has supplanted it as my favorite .45)

 

[sgtb]

My Picks....

9mm = CZ PCR
.357 Sig. = Glock 32
.40 S&W = Glock 23 or Kahr K40
.45ACP = CZ 97B

 

[Northslope Nimrod]

For me

9mm: Browning Hi-Power, Springfield XD.
45: 1911's in Springfield, Colt, Kimber...

I like 9mm because I get the ammo cheap! Fun, Fun, Fun.

 

[RifleDude4Ever]

What I meant

I meant gun, not caliber.

 

[Trisha]

What I like the most?

My old IMI Desert Eagle in .44mag.

What I like the most that I carry? It's a tie between my HK USPc and my Kimber Stainless Compact.

What do I always carry? My S&W 649.

[CZF]

Second to none, is really second to ONE. CZs are far more reliable than SIGs
in my experience with both brands. Others might agree.

 

[faustulus]

.45, because there is a reason why most 9mm's carry twice as much ammo

Cause we like to shoot twice as much

 

[Gary in Pennsylvania]

I'll take a CZ in ANY caliber.

BUT . . . . . I'd prefer -

P-01/PCR for 9mm

CZ-97 for .45acp

CZ P-04 for .40s&w

 

[Chipperman]

HK P7
Take your pick of P7M8 or P7M13.

 

[MAUSER88]

.45 Acp!!!!!!!!!!
