The Best Handgun Evermade

I think the best gun for target and defense is a good 1911. Caliber is not extremely significant, but I do like shooting .45's. For hunting I would probably go with the Super Blackhawk or Redhawk.

No single gun can fill every role. "Best" is in the eye of the beholder. A good gun for me may not fit you.

Be a mistake to try to get one gun to fit all those roles. Give it a thought;

Target: what ranges are you shooting to and what type of competition? Bullseye? Bianchi Cup? Steel Challenge? Silhouette? Informal plinking?

Hunting: What game? Hog, elk, rascally rabbit?

Defense: Concealed carry under light, summer garments? Open carry in a duty type holster? Going into trouble? Walking the dog?

Hard to get one gun to do it all much less one caliber. Though the latter might be easier.

One of my shooting friends just raves about 41mag he is selling all other revolver calibers and just shooting the 41.equal or better than 10mm.in his eyes.or is he blind:confused:
 
The 41 magnum really should have taken the handgun crowd by storm but it ran headlong into those that steadfastly love their 44 mags,45 ACP and Colts and 38/357 magnum.

You see to step up and call out the 41 mag as the very best,most everything gun means that one those other rounds is'nt and alot of people really love the rounds they fire then and now.

As far as it being better than the 10 mm ,I would say that powerwise and accuracy wise,yes,it is better.

My opinion is that only the 44 mag gives you the ability to carry and to hunt big dangerous game with it if you feel the need to gamble with your life.

But as others have said,there is no real best handgun.
 
You are right a gun is a tool .a wrench is a tool . all tools have a place in the world .the only tool that fits is a cresent .most of the time. same as guns .check mate:Di guess there is no compronise

I agree that there's no BEST handgun, only what's best for you.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool revolver man. I've had .22s, .38s, .357s, and .44 mags. I think the nicest multi-purpose revolver is probably the S&W Model 19 .357, 4". The 66, is the Stainless version.

The L-Frame .357s are also good and I have a 627 stainless .357 that's a joy to shoot on the range, but heavy to carry.

The flexibility of the .357 mag is fantastic. Recently, I cast some wadcutters and loaded mild Bullseye powder target rounds. I also have some pretty hot loads behind 125 grain HPs.

The best thing about revolvers is that the don't spew my valuable brass all over the ground.

If I must chose one then it would be a Colt Python in 357 Magnum.

If picking just a caliber I would day 44 magnum, however, I have no experiencer thus far with460/500. Their more power makes them better or not is to be seen. What extra can they do for you?

If picking just handgun, it would be again Python.

So it realy is Python that fits your tight criteria
 
I agree to "no best for everything".

Wow.... where are all the Kool-Aid drinkers? Figured they would be all over this!! :D
