The Best Handgun in the World?

[malern28us]

Price is in line with some of the handguns....30 round magazine...takes seconds to reload...makes a nice loud noises....accurate out to longer distances....easy to find ammo.....

 

[Expat]

We all know what it is, but we can't afford it so we don't mention it. The old Colt Peacemaker.

The best one in the world is the one that meets your requierments. You will never get everyone to agree that one gun is the best so give up on that before you get started haha.

I am in total agreement...you will never everyone in agreement on this, we all have our own preferences.

 

[XtremeVel]

The best one always seems to be the next one up on my " wish list ".

 

[Snayperskaya]

I would say this.

HK P30 .40 V1 LEM

I'm going to go with this one as well... all though if you prefer .45, the HK45 is similar to this.

 

[JDonhardt]

G19

 

[ThePope]

G19 but Im a tad bias

For most of the categories, the 1911 can't possibly the best, price, for example, reliability, for another...now, one may have nothing but great luck with their particular 1911, but they aren't very reliable until you get the mags right, and the ammo it likes, so, for me, it doesn't belong in " best of "....

I know, I know, I love my 1911 STI , but even IT doesn't qualify as absolutely reliable, nor cheap enough to exist in a "best of"....flame suit ON....

MY criteria in any handgun, is what they are supposed to do , for most of us, that would be self defense applications...

For me, it has to be affordable, not cheap, per se, but affordable...

For me, it must be of a simple design...no external safety to worry about getting stuck on "safe"...

For me, easily taken down for a field strip cleaning...

For me, it must be easy to work on, and as such, lots of parts easily available....

For me, it must shoot all ammo with no issues involving ftfire, ftfeed, fteject,, that is, totally reliable, go BANG, no matter what....

For me, there is only one choice firearm to meet those requirements....

Glock 19....any Glock, for the most part, but in particular, the G-19, or the G-17....

I am out.....

No one gun is ever going to be agreed upon for so many reasons. Everyone has a different idea of what a good price is. Everyone has a different hand so guns feel different. Some people are larger and some are smaller. Some like revolvers and some like semi auto.

Personally I can't even make a decision which is the best gun from my small collection but the Smith M&P 9c is right up there.

 

[rhart]

Im guessing you mean a carry gun for personal protection. If thats the case, my opinion would be Glock 23. Dont get me wrong, I have lots of great guns including a 1911 and great revolvers but 6 or 7 shots and all the bulk does not measure up to 13 rounds of .40 cal. through a very reliable, forgiving Glock

 

[stacy]

The best handgun in the world? Simple,the one you own. It's all personal preference.

 

[Jaredjosh]

Of course it's the S&W M&P. But that's only cause I own one.

 

[Snayperskaya]

The best handgun in the world? Simple,the one you own. It's all personal preference.

yeah? Well I think you are wrong. And I base that on absolutely nothing.


But seriously, that is true. Although I would also add the one you want, as well.

 

[kingnereli]

The problem is we each place priority on different categories. For instance, I couldn't care less about concealability. I'll dress around what I want to conceal.

So, if this comes down to another "only one gun" question that works for the widest amount of people and that I trust explicitly it has to be a 1911. Even new shooters shoot them better then other guns. They are rugged and reliable (attested to by those who actually own and shoot them.) They are quite slim and conceal well enough. Prices run from around $500 up to a few thousand depending on what you want. You get a lot of gun for the money. The weight makes them comfortable to shoot. They are beautiful.

 

[Eulogy32]

Desert Eagle .50ae. Now close the thread since the argument is over

 

[roscott]

This...remember you said handgun

Doesn't score real high on the concealability factor, though...

The best one in the world is the one that meets your requierments. .

Is that a rail on a revolver? Has that been done before?
