darko, I tried to find a "Bob" when I found "Fred" my Dan Wesson 10mm. Why do I call mine Fred? The name Bob was already taken

funny how nobody's even mentioned a revolver- well i'm going to- first starting out, a gp100, or if you want something bigger, the redhawk in 44 mag-you can tailor your loads from mild to wild, which is something you can do to only a limited degree with any automatic- if you HAVE to go automatic,go 1911 - one more thing- you don't have to POLICE YOUR BRASS with a revolver

For ergonomics, in my opinion nothing is better then the Browning Hi-Power, but my personal all around favorite pistol is my SIG P228.
I'm a SIG fan, any model.
I have a 220 in 9mm and it's very accurate, never had a jam.
X2 On this one!
The most accurate, reliable, fun shooting pistol I have ever shot.
Thats why I bought one.

Skeeter Skelton (and a few others) have pointed out (way back in the dark ages before I really cared) that if he were restricted to a single hand-gun, he would keep his 5" S&W Model 27.
Skeeter Skelton was well known as being THE driving force behind the continued survival of the .44 S&W Special cartridge after the .44 Remington Magnum's debut.
Having accumulated a 5" Model 27 some years ago now I have to admit it is almost the perfect hand-gun.
Therefore it is my nomination for "best" handgun.
The 5" M. 27 ballances & points to perfection with it's light barrel.
Properly hand-loaded the .357 Magnum cartridge can take any threat in North America if neccesary.
Being the direct decendant of S&W's "Registered Magnum" (the first ever "magnum" revolver) it was S&W's top of the line gun (Yes children even after the Model 29 was introduced). In fact the Colt "Python" was actually introduced to give the (now so-called) "pre"-model 27 some high end competition.
Any revolver with a checkered top-strap & barrel rib just has to be high end!
Of course if I was heading out the door, I would probably take my .45 Colt 4-5/8" Ruger New Model converted to Bisley configuration....

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.
How long is a piece of rope?
Who is the 'best' superhero?
I think you have to define the question a bit more.
