Most enjoyable handguns to shoot

[Ignition Override]

Possibly the Czech CZ-82 (9x18), but the actual Makarovs and P-83s are just as fun. Wish I could say such about three friends' Polish P-64s, but the springs are original.

The WW2 Sauer 38H and Mauser Hsc have even better fit/ergos in my slender hands, but don't want to put excessive wear on my only WW2 handguns.

The "Made In W. Germany" PPK/S was not so fun, and was sold.

 

[Unlicensed Dremel]

Funnest one I ever shot, by far, was the Kel Tec PMR30.

Honorable mentions to Browning Buckmark, Phoenix HP22, and Heritage Rough Rider 6" SA in .22lr.

Centerfires aren't as fun, but I once had a Taurus Raging Bull 8.375" in .44 Mag that I could hit the 200 yard 1/2 size ram with pretty consistently - that was a hoot.

Model 19's

I have a couple of S&W model 19's. Great shooters.

 

[MANual_puller]

RIA M1911 TCM FS HC 22TCM/9mm combo

By blast to shoot I mean giant fireball blast! 2000+ fps projo from a 5" barrel with hardly any recoil. Can also swap in the 9mm barrel and recoil spring and run your favorite 9mm or 9mm +P .

2 guns in one for $650, pretty hard to beat and the quality is incredible for the price. Best gun I've bought to date.

In no particular order:

HK USP Elite/Expert 9mm with Merkle Tuning weights

Sig X6 with X-mount weight

Pardini GT9

S&W PPC9

 

[skizzums]

hard to beat a full size wheel gun for "fun", but this is the semi-auto forum, and I am going to go with a full-size Canik/tristar Shrk FC ported barrel.

 

[TfflHndn]

The guns I find my self taking to the range when I just want to enjoy shooting are:
- Rock Island .22TCM (love the flash/bang)
- Smith Model 29
- Ruger Single Seven

If my Luger hadn't been stolen, it'd be at the top of the list.

 

[Dave AA]

6" 586.
least fun:
340SC.

got the extremes covered.

 

[eddiejoe333]

Springfield Range Officer in 9MM. Smooth and accurate and little recoil.

holly thread resurrection, after a 7 year sleep it's ALIVE

 

[CritRxDoc]

Glock 17 followed by Ruger GP-100

 

[The Big D]

I have several 1911s in .45 and 10mm that are a total pleasure to shoot. IMO the 1911 trigger is still unequaled.

I really like the Ruger blackhawk in several different calibers.

Colt Diamondback .22s with the 4" barrel are a hoot and probably the best .22 trainer companion to a combat gun ever made.

 

[Pond James Pond]

SP-01 and Redhawk .44, but with mid-level mags or Spls. I shoot hot loads to stay familiar with the feel, but never more than 2 cylinders. With the milder stuff I could go all day!!

 

[Pilot]

My recently acquired CZ-75 pre-B. There is just something about it that feels better than my 75B which is only five years newer.

For me? The most enjoyable to shoot is a very old Ruger Standard .22 auto; It never fails unless the round is a dud.

My recently acquired CZ-75 pre-B. There is just something about it that feels better than my 75B which is only five years newer.

Did you get it from CDI Sales?

 

[Bentonville]

VP9 by HK without a doubt. Accurate and fast with now legendary ergonomics and reliability.

 

[tranders]

Sig Nitemare 1911 in 45acp. Just a joy to shoot with my light reloads.
