overall best handgun(pistol)

[kevin5182]

just wondering what you guys think is the best overall handgun. since my experience is limited just want to see what some of you guys think. so far i love my glock 22.

 

[ppcdoug]

S&W 5946 in 9mm - followed closely by my new M&P in .40 cal. Found the ideal bullet and powder charge for the M&P - less than 2" groups at 25 yards!

i am talking reliable,low recoil,performance, that sort of thing; dont care about looks, or comps.

CZ 75-B or CZ 97-B

One of my 1911s. Which one of the 1911s? I am thinking my Dan Wesson 10mm. Regards, Richard

Hk's are very reliable. CZ are great for absorbing recoil. Glock is a reliable piece as well. Target pistols I know very little about. STI's andSVI's are great SA guns in .40.

Browning Hi Power in 40..................

Got one and the recoil is quite low.


But...............

I don't have allot of rounds through it.

I see your Dan Wesson 10mm and I raise you a Classic Bobtail in .45

Would you be willing to share your ideal load?

I'm a SIG fan, any model. Some of the most accurate production pistols you can buy, ultra reliable, last you a lifetime-one of the mods has a 226 with over 100,000 rounds on it.
I have a 220 in 9mm and it's very accurate, never had a jam.

 

[undertaker]

Cz 75- 85

 

[FN]

Glock 17, 9mm, reliable, durable and great parts supply. Or, a CZ 75B.

 

[Unregistered]

CZ-75 pistols and derivatives combine the best features of many handguns. Also, the entire Sig line is good.

 

[PeterPan]

I must say that 1911 clone STI or SVI are one of most reliable in my book.

 

[Para P-12]

Glock 17...definitely for reliability! For the 1911 enthusiast, Kimber; although
many others are good too!

Best All Round Pistol?

Well, it's the one YOU own that YOU shoot well....

So far I shoot the following centerfire pistols 'well': Glock 17, Glock 19, Glock 22, Glock 27, CZ75, BHP MkIII 9mm, BHP MkIII .40 S&W, S&W 4006 .40 S&W, and the 1911 in 9mm, .38ACP, 10mm, .45ACP....

 

[Dustin]

1911...any 1911
More accurately, any well put-together 1911

Based on that I would go with Beretta 92; as reliable as semiautos get, soft recoiling and quite accutate. You may not care about looks but you get it with a 92FS anyway.

 

[870P]

As of right now I'd say the Glocks but the K100 design has the potential to be better IMO.

 

[92FS Inox]

There is something to be said about a design that has stood the test of time = 1911.
