What is the very best semi-auto pistol you've ever owned?

[SGTDuffman]

Toss up between Colt XSE 1911, Sig P229, and Glock 21SF. The Colt being the best looking of the bunch by far, but the ergonomics and disassembly of the Sig are unbeatable. The Glock is just a Glock. It ain't pretty, expensive, or particularly ergonomic, but it runs like a sewing machine...and holds 13+1 of .45, or 15+1 of 10mm when I use the Lone Wolf barrel.

I can't actually answer un-biased, since I'm a new gun owner and all. I'm defaulted to say the best I've owned is my ONLY - Sig P938 Extreme.

It fits my hand perfectly, went out shooting last weekend with someone experienced to teach me some basics, and I was making bulls-eyes right away (first time officially shooting pistols EVER). I was quite pleased

 A Colt 80 series Combat Commander 1911 - 45acp. Stainless slide & frame.
A Ruger GP100 - 357 Revolver, Stainless.
 A Rossi 971 - 357 Revolver, Stainless.
A Kahr PM9 - 9mm.
 A Smith & Wesson 642 - 38spl + P Revolver.

A Ruger Mark 2 - 22LR with a ten inch Bull Barrel Semi, Stainless.
 A ruger Mark 2 - 22LR with a 6 7/8 inch Government Target Semi, Stainless.
A Thompson Center Contender with a ten inch 22LR barrel and a 45LC/410 - fourteen inch barrel.
 A 45 caliber single-shot black powder pistol.

I'm looking for more barrels for the Contender, 35 Rem., 222, 30-30, 357mag, 44mag, and maybe a few more.

You can never have enough guns, I shoot all of the ones I own. It's a fun time heading up to the mountains for a day of target practice, we ussally take a couple of handguns, two shotguns and the clay pigeon trap thrower, a couple of 22 caliber rifles and a couple of black powder guns as well. Once in a while we'll shoot the high power rifles towards the end of summer.
I've got seventeen old vintage rimfire 22 caliber rifles that I like to shoot. I just picked up three old 22s last week.
 
I also like to collect old 410 shotguns when the price is right. I've got about ten of them.

  I need adoptive parents. I'm only 55.

The Sig P938 Extreme is a sweet little gun, nice for concealed carry!!  I am leaning towards the Sig Nightmare for the next gun.  Just need to find one in town.......

Yea exactly what I got it for

The 1911 or P938 Nightmare?

[Atroxus]

I have only owned 3 handguns, of them the best was my Beretta 92FS

The other two were a Sig Sauer Mosquito .22LR that was fun to shoot, but jammed a lot and a S&W Sigma .40 that would have been an amazing gun if not for the 12+lb trigger pull. I ended up selling the sigma cause the trigger drove me nuts.

It's a toss up between these two. My Kimber and my Wilson combat.

Owned a Glock once for about 30 days.  Sold it for about 50% less than I paid for it just to get it gone.  About five years later I talked myself into getting another one.  Thought I must have missed something.  That one didn't make it another 30 days before it was gone.  Guess I'm a slow learner    Would have saved myself a lot of money and trouble if I'd just stuck with Sigs, 1911's and wheel guns.

Rad, let me know if you do that again, I'll pay 50% for a slightly used glock.

I think I've now learned my lesson!


well, at least about buying Glocks

[carpsniperg2]

Glocks have been nothing but trouble for me. I can't stand 1911 either, everyone I have got has gone down the road. I just don't like the fit and feel of them. They all ran fine but the glocks were always having problems.

Might be adding a shield in a few days.

HK P30, followed close by theM&P

cz 82, least expensive but never a problem
