Imagine that you could only have one handgun for HD/CC/general defensive applications.
What would you go with and why?
Hard/International mode: no AK/AR "pistols".
>>28244945
1911 Fuddy .45
Honestly, Just because I'm so familiar with the gun. It might not be the best in the world, but it's what I'm most comfortable carrying, concealing, and operating.
It all comes down to what your good with. Don't listen to anyone that tells you otherwise.

>>28244945
I would probably go with a CZ P-09 just because that's what I have most experience with. Maybe change to P-07 for a little bit easier concealment.

Muh Pre B Cz, as it's my primary handgun.
if my primary objective was HD i'd probably go usp9 or 92fs, maybe glock 17.
if I had to CC often i'd go walther ppks
Glock 19 and I don't even own a glock
Sig p239 9mm. perfect gun.
second choice would be an HK45C
>>28244945
Easy question.

I'm living that life now, only me and my trusty g19 until I get out of college. Soo hard to not Idk into my savings for getting another gun, but I know it won't bring me any happiness.
>>28247589
Good, another gun is just another fucking gun. It probably wont do anything yours doesnt.
I was gonna say G19 or 26 and I dont even own either. Easy to CC with a short mag, with a couple of 17 rounders in your pocket or hell even 33's in your nightstand for HD or VD.

You should have expected this OP. Fucking boring motherfuckers all of you. Vanilla pudding. You all drive Honda Civics and eat plain potato chips.
I am trying to decide this myself. Either a 1911, a Sig P226 in 9mm, an HK P30LS V3 in 9mm, or HK USP (not sure if 9mm or .45).
>>28247943
Glock 17
Sorry bro, Glock 9mm is the bees knees
>>28247943
I do drive a Honda Civic though
>>28247943
Are you looking for a reliable, simple and common defensive tool or a fashion statement? I hear they make some pretty fancy purses you could use to carry your special snowflake.
>>28247943
this is you
>>28247056
The P238 is awful. The sear on mine is stamped such that there's an edge that drags and creates an heavy, gritty trigger pull. I'd take a Glock trigger over a P238, and that's saying a LOT. I can't imagine the P239 is any better.
>>28247943
It just works.
I'd go with a good quality carry-oriented 1911. Not too big for CC, not too small for HD, simple, and familiar.
>>28248644
Why a 1911?
M6G.
OP never said we had to pick a real gun.
>but deres no sites onnit!!1
The bottom nub's a laser and the top is a detachable wireless camera. The sights are underneath the camera.

No I'm looking for something hammer-fired that doesn't blow up when I shoot it.
>>28248622
Lots and lots of things "work." I've never understood why Glockfags say this. Reliability is almost pointless to discuss in 2015. We are having to fire our pistols underwater and fill them with clay to get them to malfunction. This is true of all major manufacturers: Glock, Sig, Beretta, HK, Springfield, Colt, and on and on.
I just think using a Glock is kind of like eating those SOS food rations for every meal for the rest of your life. Yeah it keeps you alive............. but that's it.
Just one, huh?
Alright.
>>28249013
Cool, I see your point now about Glocks, you're autistic, shoulda led with that in your opening statement

>>28245169
How do you like it? I found one for 550 with night sights. Good deal?
>>28248616
Mine doesn't do anything of the sort, and the trigger is far better than a Glock's.
Take your shit in to a gunsmith and get it sorted out.
Plus, I think you were thinking that he was talking about the P938, not the P239.
>>28249016
Can your dick explode if it becomes too hard? I'm asking for a friend.

So you don't Wana waste money on a new gun but you drive a corvette? You sure got them priorities lined up.

sometimes, you just have to take up practicality and efficiency over looks m9
>>28249540
This is like the only 1911 ive seen that ive liked.
>>28249570
It's a 2001, they're quite affordable now a days. I already have a gun for cc and home defense, anything else would be a waste of money for me. It's my only car, so it's my priority to keep running so I can keep my job and go to school.
>>28249642
>Korth
We'll never be able to afford it.
As much as I like the 1911- I might go with something like a GP100.
>>28249143
>you're autistic
Pretty much. Not even gonna argue that
id choose the tt-33 or a ttc. reialable, durable, powerful, and minimal recoil. i dont know anything wrong with it
>>28253464
Garbage.
>>28253502
Why is it garbage? I think it's a pretty good gun, only problem with it is the small magazine but it makes up for it in speed
>>28247943
>Fucking boring motherfuckers
Glock 18c then, op didn't put a limit on rarity or how hard it would be to own.
I've heard it's surprisingly controllable for a machine pistol once you learn how the recoil feels, can be carried with a normal 17 round mag just like the average Glock, and extra ones on me as 33 round mags, also detachable shoulder stock, but I doubt that can easily be concealed.
the supposedly already managable kick from the fire rate probably isn't a huge issue at self defense ranges.
>>28249388
For night sights thats allright. I payed 550 for mine which is the non-night sight model but I definitely could have found it for cheaper. Really I would recommend the P-07 instead, the P-09 is just unnecessarily huge. But other than that it's been great, but I think it may still be a little hard finding holsters.
>>28253642
Are you a metalhead or a trap?
>pls say both
>>28253686

>>28253692
Good man. Glad to see another metalhead on here.
>>28244945
sig sauer p226
>DA/SA is more fun then striker
>still viable for defense and the range
>relatively cheap/abundant parts
>if I can only get one then ill manage a full sized...somehow
>still pretty enough to pass on to my children
Id probably get one in stainless though
>>28254279
I can't decide between this and a 1911. I know they are almost completely different but I love both of them. I am so sick of small guns.
The P226 is no doubt a more effective weapon but concealing it would be a fuckin bear. 1911 is so slim. Plus it has a thumb safety and I like thumb safeties.
>>28245020
I'm going to get one of these. Literally thanks to Obama.
>>28244945
I love my 1911's...but if I had to have only one it'd be my USP .45. It just always works. Always.
![jNWGs1E[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/IRCOYYT.jpg "jNWGs1E[1].jpg")
Love my M70A.
My G26 in full fde. Ironically last range day it became a jam o matic and was stovepiping, failure to extract, failure to ejecting left and right. Kinda stumped. Hopefully just bad batch of ammo.
I used to hate glocks and carried a Para p13, but it's too heavy and flashy to conceal.
I bought this sight unseen, took it to the range and loved it. I finger fuck it daily.
>>28254696
sig sauer makes 1911s
and there is also the p220 SAO
>>28244945
> Limiting yourself to one caliber
>>28244945
If I had to bail out of my place and could only take one with me, M&P9 full size. You can conceal it all year if you dress around it, has a rail for a light for HD, and if you can't solve your problem with 17 rounds of quality JHPs I don't know what to tell you.
>>28254786
Maybe try a different magazine too. Also is the barrel aftermarket by any chance? My Glock 30 rarely if ever jams with the stock barrel but I put a KKM match barrel in it and it jams once or twice per magazine.
Funny because I have really fallen out of love with Glocks. Hate pretty much every interface with it. Grips, mag release, slide stop, trigger, the takedown, everything. Hold an HK USP or P30 in a gun store and make sure to pack extra pants after getting used to Glocks.
P226 pls thank u very much
>>28254888
I know but what attracts me to the P226 is that besides being full-sized and hammer-fired the Mec gar 18-round flush mags and the 20-round extended/plus 2 base plates. Also it has a nice trigger IMO.
What attracts me to the 1911 is slimness, ergos, the redundant safeties, the nice trigger and capability of shooting accurately at longer ranges (for a pistol). The P226 is just chunky and fat.
>>28255170
Stock barrel, tried my spare mag and a g17 mag and still happened. It only has 4-500 rounds through it but still, I wtfed hard.
I can agree with you on the mag release being hard to get to and utilize but I'm currently over compensating that it's ok due to my Para releasing mags while CC'ing, it freaked me the fuck out. The slide stop is lackluckster but I consider it a non problem to operate and prefer the slimline'ness (dasssa word) of it to be kinda nice. Talon grips gave me a nice barrier between the plastic and my baby smooth hands.
I will check out your recommendations next time I do my rounds at the LGS.
>>28244945
1911 from a really good company.
Mainly because I have a fuckton of .45 ACP and Wilson Combat mags left over from my Springfield RO
>>28244945
I feel uniquely qualified to comment, since I currently only have one handgun. Kimber Pro.
Tfw if I ever want a handfun in my country it isnt too hard to get, but I'm only allowed one.
A good 1911 is pretty much what I am considering.
>>28255548
>you can get a handgun
>but only one
Really? What country?
>2015
>Still falling for the mus stopping power meme
9mm or gtfo faggots.
>>28256026
It's not about "stopping power." It's about a combination of shootability, concealability, and ergonomics.
Also they make 9mm 1911s so shut your whore mouth.
>>28244945
10mm 1911
It works
>>28244945
My nigga.
Honestly, I'd want to change my slide if I ever carried it. Just practicing carrying around my house I've had my sight snag my shirt when I draw it. I'm going to hunt down an FM Detective slide.
>>28254696
Just get a P226 for a combat pistol & P938 for conceal (or 238 I just prefer 9mm to .380)
>>28245020
>fuddy
Excuse my ignorance. But is this slang for a 45 colt?
>>28247127
>>28249519
Mine arrives in a few days.
>>28256026
If i shoot you with a 357 magnum.
I guarantee your ass aint getting up.
I cant say the same about a 9mm
>>28249540
Care to enlighten this anon?
This custom built?
>>28244945
Ruger LCP because it's what I can conceal, PO .380 XTP rounds exceed the FBI standard, and 10 & 15 round mags exist for HD.
Just picked up my 2nd- the exclusive cerakoted FDE model.
