Must have semi-automatics?

[lerch641]

So I've pondered this over the years, what are some MUST HAVE semi-auto pistols in a fleshed out collection?

And let me specify, when I say "must have" I'm meaning the basis of certain makes and models that gives you a good taste of different offerings, like a CZ75 versus any Tanfoglio.

Off the top of my head:

Beretta 92
Colt 1911
CZ 75
FNH FNX
Glock 17
Heckler & Koch USP
Luger P08
Sig Sauer classic P-series
Walther P99

So, spit your recommendations

 

[Harry Callahan]

Swiss made Sig P210

 

[Harry Callahan]

Benelli B76 if you can find one.

 

[Cameron SS]

Browning High Power has seen enough military service to deserve to be on the list, as for offering something different, it will definitely give you a good feel for how bad a modern service pistol can be.

 

[Harry Callahan]

HK P series (PSP, 7M8, 7M10, 7M13, 9-9s...etc)

 

[Harry Callahan]

Automag pistols.

 

[Harry Callahan]

Desert Eagle, Wildey and Grizzly large «#magnums#» pistols.

 

[Harry Callahan]

Coonan .357

 

[hatman1793]

Das Boot! P38, PPK.

 

[Harry Callahan]

I would absolutely love to have a Skolovsky Automaster .45

^^^ LOL Good one just wait for the High Power Guys to chime in now..

 

[Squiggy]

Haven't seen the Brno up here and Alien not released yet but definitely would be interested.

 

[Ced1942]

Id grab a P226 way before a FNH FNX, the Sig have had extensive service use and are combat proven

 

[Harry Callahan]

I know one dealer that had the Brno FK on pre order but I’m not sure if they actually got them since the page was quickly removed from their website.

 

[Ganderite]

Guns that were on my "must have" list;

Luger
Military 1911
Hi-Power
P-38
Ruger Blackhawk
K-38
Python

 

[sunmoong]

Shadow 2 maybe

A FN make BHP (think 60's-70's era gun) certainly belongs on this list
