Handgun poll

[Caliga]

Ok, this came up in a Computer subforum thread but I wanted to move it to the main page because I didn't want the hijack to get worse: a friend of Princesca and I is looking to sell of most of her guns and the above list is what she has 'for sale'.  She also has a Beretta .22 and a SIG Haemmerli but isn't willing to sell those because they're her favorites.

I don't have any idea of what she'd be charging but based on the above list, which ones do people like best?  You can go ahead and make fun of the Taurus (I just wanted to list to be all-inclusive).

Buy American you commie bastard.

Nein.

Also, she is Swiss, so of course she's not going to buy junky American firearms.

I'm a Canadian Sissy, however I have awesome bladder control, and I like guns. I chose the Beretta 9mm.

I'm going to have to go ahead and say Glock 19, but for the record I don't think any of them are a good choice.

I don't feel that I need a .45 caliber piece.  Honestly, I'd almost want a .22 if it wasn't such a puny round... my father in law's SIG Mosquito is fun as hell to shoot.

That's actually what I was going to buy before I learned about the opportunity to buy from this chick.... but as you can see she owns one anyway.

Didn't mean to imply that all Canadians are sissies (when it comes to this stuff).

Of these I like the P229. I have one in .40 caliber and I love it. I like the 1911 also, but they must be well-machined, often post-production. And they are heavy. Mine is, anyway. I've put thousands and thousands of rounds of cheap dirty Wal-Mart ammo through my P229 and it has literally never once misfed or misfired. Pretty impressive.

If you're not going to use it against the most dangerous predator of all, that is to say black people, why not just settle for a .22 anyway?

For targetshooting I find the .22 a lot more fun than any other calibre.

I'm also a sissy Canadian and think that there is no need for a private person to own a handgun (as opposed to a long gun, which is a whole different matter ).

One thing I liked about the Glock is that it's extremely light, MiM.  The SIG Mosquito is as well (and has like literally zero recoil... but also zero stopping power  ).

Beeb, that's next on the list.

Granted, I've only tried it once but it just didn't feel right. It is certainly the best looker of the group, however.
