There is no perfect handgun

In 1955 (age 9) I started shooting a S&W k 22 now 57 years later and hundreds of handguns later there still is no one perfect handgun. Have spent lots of money buying and trading for different guns (I did find the perfect woman but not the perfect gun). For autos the Glocks and 1911 are OK, in 22 the S&W 17 and colt woodsman are OK and in an in Revolvers I like the Ruger and S&W. . What is your preference, these are only my favorites. As this is based on personal preferences there is no wrong answer. :D

I am fond of most any solidly built gun, and a few not-so-solid ones as well... You speak the truth, man, although I haven't shot a WC Supergrade, that might change my views...

However, you found *A* perfect woman, not *THE* perfect woman. Unless you found my wife also!:D
 
My Springfield TRP 1911 is pretty close to perfect for me. An excellent combo of accuracy and reliability. The only draw back is that it is a bit large for year round CCW and while I don't consider it a safe queen, it isn't my camping beater.
 
I wholeheartedly agree sir. Every so often I think I've found the perfect one but after a while the newness wears off and the search continues.
 
I am getting closer to finding "my perfect gun". My CZs and Sigs have me pretty satisfied, and the feverish pursuit of the next new gun has definitely cooled down.

I'm always looking, and finding new ones of interest, but I doubt I'll find any that fit me better than those.
 
What a boring world this would be if there was a "perfect" gun or anything else. I had the perfect wife, I know because someone else thought so too, and she left with him!:D
 
I like just about any gun that shoots to some degree. But that doesn't mean I would necessarily buy it. With revolvers, I buy S&W, Ruger, and Colt. I like 1911's and Glocks also, but I like just about anything that functions. I generally stick to the "name brands", but those brands change over the years based on knowledge.

The first D/A center fire revolver I bought was my S&W Model 19-4, nickle finish w/a 6" barrel - P&R.
Many guns later, it's still my idea of perfection.

It's the only gun I own that I have 100% confidence in saying, "If I can see it I can hit it".

HOWEVER - as much as I hate to admit it - it's not perfect in that it's not the ideal concealed carry piece....

For CC, I have to compromise & become mortal ;).
 
I found the one true handgun the day I picked up my first Smith and Wesson model 1920 4 inch. Everything else is a poor second place.
 
Pefection does not exist this side of Heaven. And if it did, it wouldn't last 5 minutes before someone jacked it all up.
 
Agree.If there was someone would still complain about the trigger or the grips. Myself wouldnt know perfect if it bit me in the backside.

Besides perfect for what ? ;):D
 
At the age of 63. I guess the one i have had the longest is my RUGER SECURITY SIX 4 " 357 MAG new in 1976 .Surived one divorce 2 home roberies 3 major job losses .I guess it's my perfect gun.
