What Is Your Favourite Auto-Loading Pistol?

[Billy Bremner]

What is your favourite 'autoloader' for:

1) Personal Defense?

2) Concealed Carry?

3) Competition?

4) Target?

5) Plinking?


My choices are:
1-SIG P220
2-Kahr MK9
3-SIG P220/P229 Sport
4-Kimber Stainless Gold Match
5-Ruger MKII

Now if only the bloody anti-gun liberals in Great Britian would let me own/shoot. Not that I don't enjoy traveling to the U.S. of A. or the Continent, mind you, to do my shooting, but its just so damned inconvenient.

[Dr.Rob]

1) Personal Defense? Colt Commander .45 auto or FEG Hi-power clone in 9mm The FEG is far more relaible than my old Colt.

2) Concealed Carry? (not an issue yet But I'd opt for the commander given its thinner grip, still the FEG rides nice too)

3) Competition? FEG Hi Power/Colt 1911

4) Target? Ruger Mk2 5.5 inch bull barrel target model

5) Plinking? Colt 1991a1 Seecamp Triggered Frankengun, Colt 1908 Vest pocket 25, 1939 Luger, FEG .380, a few others (wait I can't say revolvers)

 

[Jason Demond]

1911A1 for the first four and a Ruger 22/45 for the last.

 

[KPS]

My only uses are defense, informal shooting, and collecting. For me, the full-sized 1911 in military configuration is the sentimental favorite. Of non-1911 guns, the Glock 19 in 9mm and USP Compact in .40 are both excellent shooters out of my hands.

 

[ZipTieNinja]

Hmmmm...

1)Beretta 96 FS Brigadier
2)Beretta 96 FS Brigadier
3)Ruger Mk 2
4)Ruger Mk 2
5)Ruger Mk 2


I may be narrow minded. Those are the only two I own
