Threads like this one crop up periodically on this forum.

It would seem, perhaps, that one possible useful answer to the question would be for folks to identify their own favourite pistol, and offer a few words on why they like it so much.

In that vein I offer:

The Browning Hi-Power. I like it because:

1) It fits my hands, almost perfectly. Like they designed it for me. Except I wasn't alive in 1935. Spooky.

2) I can shoot it very well.

3) Well made, solid, excellent fit-n-finish, feeds almost anything.

4) 13+1 rounds 9mm hollow points should resolve any social problems I might reasonably expect to encounter.

5) For a "full size" pistol, it's remarkably easy to conceal.

6) Did I mention how well it fits my hands?

YMMV.

Mrs. Bustard doesn't care for it much at all. She's a Glockophile.

“She's a Glockophile.”

So is mine. (19) I'm still looking but, got a Beretta Neos .22 for practice.

I've got smallish hands and the Glock 19 seems a bit large for me.

Kimber Ultra Crimson

Extremely reliable and trustworthy.

Fits my hand like a glove.

Extremely concealable.

Crimson Trace Laser Grips, perfect for a carry weapon.

Well made, and will eat almost anything.

.45 can take on any menace.

Thanks, this is a good idea.

Stepping out for a while but will check back to see other responses.

My wife perfers her Springfield XD9 Tactical to just about everything.

Me, I am an 1911 fan.

Love the High Power. Too bad they don’t like me. Hammer bite hurts.

That's serious. I suppose all is forgiven if she's beautiful (all FReeper's wives are you know) and can cook. ;)
