Only one Semi-auto

[merrise]

If you could just own one semi-auot pistol what would it be and why? Let the fun begin.

I'd have a 9mm, not sure yet whether I like my Glock enough to keep it over my Sig though, so need more rounds downrange to answer for sure.

1911, 1,000's of dead Commies can't be wrong. What other pistol has been around for 100 years and is on the incline in production. That say's something.

My Browning Buckmark.
I hate feeding centerfire autos.......


Edited to add;
The post said which semi-auto you would have.
Nothing about ccw or self protection.
If I was carrying for protection it would most likely be a revolver in 44spl.

Jimmy is right...The 1911 is the perfect gun. great caliber and well balanced. Easy to find replacement parts and comes in various sizes. Hard to argue with history.

Glock 19- goes bang every time.

Glock 22 or 23

 

[Glock 'em down]

I do own only one bottom feeder, and frankly, I don't know of any other one out there that I would trust my life to more. I couldn't tell you the last time I found another auto that I felt like I wanted.

The Glock 22.

It works when the others won't.

 

[44minimum]

10 MM of some sort. Good for shooting deer or people or earthworms
