Some will say, "too expensive" but but isn't a bit more worth it, if this weapon is meant to save your life?

+ 1 on the Mk II. Every American should own a Mk II and an 1911.
My dad bought the XD for me in 9mm last year when a local gun and ammo store had them on sale at a ridiculously low price. The special price was only for the 9mm model and not available for the 40 cal - which would otherwise have been my preference. Since my dad was buying it, I was more than happy to accept the 9mm. My son has a Ruger 40 cal that he really likes, and shoots very well. But a couple of months ago when we were at a shooting range, he shot my XD and was VERY impressed with how easy it was to control and how well it shoots.
No glock? A single revolver? Utter stupidity.
My son in law showed me his Grampa’s Hi-Standard 22 semi-auto that he bought for $68 way back when. The receipt from a Ore hardware store was in the bottom of the box. I remember shooting my BiL’s back in the 50s. Did I tell you I want one...
I have a Springfield 1911 and and XD .45. Both are great guns but the 1911 has my heart for two reasons; it has a history unparalleled in serving our military during several wars, and most importantly my 1911 was a gift from my youngest son, an Army Ranger. I have a concealed carry permit and it goes everywhere with me. BTW, it makes me more conscious of my responsibilities and temperment than when I don’t carry. In my case having a gun makes me more tolerant. The libtards would never understand.
8. Ruger Mark II
8. Smith & Wesson 41
Wow. I have over ten handguns, and not a single one on the list.
I might get a 1911 this year, or I might be odd and get an S&W 945 instead. Don’t care about being on a list.
I’ts not likeley that this is a top sales list, with the inclusion of two different SiG lines and no Glocks. Also, I don’t think the Single Six is Ruger’s best seller.
Smith and Wesson is off the $#!+ list for its capitulation and collaboration with the clinton administration on anti-gun regulations now, I guess. Did the british company that had bought them divest?
This list looks like it was made by someone who’s expertise consists of having read every Guns& Ammo printed since 2007.
have you thrown it down in the mud and tried to fire it yet? That is my big test, and I am wondering if anyone has done this....I have very fat fingers, and most small sidearms have way to small a trigger guard / trigger area for me to safely pull and aim without an accidental discharge...the area in the XD sub is perfect...

A goodly time back, and at a substantial financial loss.

Interesting that the Single Six is the only wheelgun on the list. I would have expected to see at least one Glock too.
I can’t believe you put the Browning buckmark in there over the Ruger Mark II or Mark III. A travesty!!!
Got a Springfield Armory XDm 9mm for Christmas. Took it to the NRA range in Virginia a couple of weeks ago and was shooting bullseyes with ease from 25 feet. Just a fantastic firearm. My only complaint is that it comes with a right-handed holster and I shoot left-handed. Oh well.
Is there that much of a difference between a Python and a Trooper Mark III?
So is my wife and I.
This seems to be nothing more than some Joe Blows list of favorites. No rhyme or reason to it. Its meaningless.
Top 10 for what characteristic? Most liked? Best for self defense? Darkest bluing?
