I've noticed that not very many people have mentioned the Walther P99. Is that because nobody owns one or has shot one; or is the general concensus that these are uncomfortable/unreliable guns?
Glock, Sig, Beretta. No particular order. Never a jam in thousands of rounds. can't beat em. People say the glocks the most reliable but the others haven't let me down yet.
Of Course I'm kidding! I still can't believe some Police Departments still issue Smith automatics after the Sigma series came out. I mean, look what S&W did to the Walther P99- they actually changed the grip that had been designed by the Olympic pistol grip designer Morino of Italy. Brilliant!
Anyway, Glock, Sig, Beretta, HK, and most "broken in" 1911's should shoot well in a tight spot.
I still don't know why you'd need to have someone else's gun they hand to you in a bad spot! I keep mine handy anywhere I go! You should too!
