I too, have shot one....and wonderer why Gen. Thompson thought you needed 12 lbs. of gun to shoot the .45 cartridge.....
CZ52 in 7.65x25. Weighs a ton and looks like a tank.
Yes, the CZ52! I've always wondered if it could be somehow converted to a 9mm?
Definitely the Springfield XD line (original line, not the XDS slim). If you compare the slide to comparable pistols like the Glock and M&P, the XD is much thicker and beefier. I've had all 3 and the XD has the most heft when it comes to the slide.
This is an excellent point. I have a Norinco T-213 pistol and I've (mildly) raved about it here in the past. Not because it is the greatest thing ever (miles from that) but because I snagged it from a small gun shop for $150 and it has brought -FAR- more shooting joy than $150 should bring.A single weak part can make all the "overbuiltness" of a particular design a moot point.

Ruger needed to update their revolver line for streamlined and more cost-effective production. It's easier for Ruger to make the GP-100. It was also one heckuva great sales tool, to bring out a "new & improved" medium sized revolver and they have sold like hotcakes. Ruger, it seems, sure knew what they were doing.but for some reason Ruger brought out the even heavier GP100
No.Colt's Trooper, King Cobra and Python are as big as any GP-100
GP 100 is bigger than Dan Wessons or Colts.
