Springfield 1911A1 .40 S&W (P19146L) :shock: I just love 1911's :wink:

Outta the choices, I would choose the Glock. I haven't fired the HK... yet.

Blue :mrgreen:
 
The XD-40 is awesome. I've put a few mags through PrairieMedic's... I am always impressed. I like the the XD-40's overall feel over the G22 I've shot. (gen3)

Also, how about a CZ? :mrgreen:
 
farm gas in a Porsche is the same as regular unleaded in same. Gotta use premium stuff for premium stuff...I picked the SIG, though I would take a 1911 in .45 if I needed to use something for combat.
 
I think I remember someone on this board who had problem finding spare parts for an XD.

Does the situation have change?
 
I rented a xd 40 at a range ( in las vegas called "the gun shop") it ran like a champ . Fit my hand very well .love the grip saftey .

Cant say NO to that :D
 
Glock KB's are about as much of an issue as slides cracking on Beretta's. improper ammo, or bad care will #### any gun up. Ask how many Sigs I've seen with rails ripped off? Howabout 6 in BC alone? some with high round counts, some with low. My old original Beretta 96 had 160,000+ rounds through it before I finally broke the locking block this past summer. My current 92 Elite II is somewhere in the 40,000 round mark, and my 96 Elite II is somewhere around the same.
I've also seen 5 Glocks that KB'd supposedly with factory ammo (but I have my doubts).
I've also seen factory Winchester ammo with no primer holes (primer pocket yes, but no flash hole)
Do you get the point? modern stuff still screws up, doesn't matter who makes it, someone will have a problem at some point with it.
As for .40 S&W it was an answer for a question that didn't need to be asked, modern 9mm defensive ammo performs almost exactly the same in as far as permanent wound channel and all that. As well when you look at kinetic energy, it's Mass x (Velocity squared), which means a fast moving 9mm will impart more energy to a subject than a slow moving .40 or a slow moving .45 and typically you'll be able to throw more of them at a target. So my money is on 9mm. Of course that doesn't mean I haven't ordered a .45 ......................

Well put!!
 
I think the complete formula for muzzle energy is; Mass x (Velocity squared) / (div) 450400...

The locking block is the weakest part in the whole gun, on the Beretta website it says it lasts about 22K…did you say yours lasted 160K? :shock:

I wouldn’t even consider it a bid deal if it lasted 22K, if that was a slide or fame than that would be a different story...
