What's Your Next Handgun...and why?

[stephen87]

After vacation it will either be a Glock 43 or a Ruger LCR in 9mm. Leaning towards the Glock. It's a bit slimmer/shorter/smaller/larger capacity/same price. Only thing the Ruger has on it is weight.

I bought the PPQ M2 for my first handgun and really enjoy shooting it. I haven't heard one negative thing about it other than some people don't like the way it looks. I think they look great. Kinda wish I would have bought the m1 with the trigger guard mag release because I will be picking up a Walther PPS in the near future.

Fn 45 tactical, because it's 15 rds of 45 and a great excuse to start saving for an osprey!

Don't like the way a PPQ looks? That's a sexy pistol. My only complaint would be the crowbar they use for a slide stop lever. The only Walther I have now is a P99 that I've had for years. A PPQ is on the list, and having the P99 with the trigger guard mag release, I think I'd prefer the M1.

Working on a commander size 1911. I have a plan.
Hope to ad a CZ Phantom in a week or so.

That is such a nice size... I have two Colts in Commander size. I have been thinking about getting a DW or better (LB, EB, WC) in that size.

S&W 686. Because I earned it. And all I have to do is pay the taxes on it!! Chose it because I only have one .357. And, say it with me now, "2 is 1 and 1 is none."

Sig 229 Elite Stainless, with Rosewood Grips! Have to move a M&P40c first though, something about an all metal gun, my mind just can't accept these three words together to describe a firearm; real, plastic, gun! I know they have proven themselves for generations just like the feel and weight of steel in my hands.

This is the gun near completion.
Waiting on a proper 2 pice guide rod and it will get to the range and if all is well....EDC duty.

AllenM did the machine work. Fit up a 6" Clark barrel and cut/threaded for the Clark compensater. I did the ignition controls are Cylinder & Slide components. Mag well and grip panels.

Sig's reintroduction of the 225 has got me excited. Feels so damn good. Must have one

That scares me though especially if Cohen has anything to do with it. They made the M11-A1 sound like a 228 but it doesn't share much in common with the original German 228/M11. YMMV

I have a M11A1, it's been a great gun. Very reliable suppressor host and accurate. Is it a 228? Nope, just a 229 without a rail.

The 225A1 feels better than the original 225, longer grip and the g10 grips have a lot better feel than the plastics of the original. It takes a 239 barrel instead of a 225.

It's pretty much a single stack 229 with a 239 barrel. Might not be am original 225 but feels good and should be very reliable. Hopefully I'll find out if so when they come out sith the suppressor ready model.

Looking to get a Taurus 92. I like a full size 9 and the mags are interchangeable with my Taurus 917.

 

[BugI02]

I'm trying to talk myself out of it, but I'm starting to want an Astra A80 in 38SA if it isn't too expensive.

 

[RustyHornet]

Another 1911. Something commander size.

oh and stainless..

I ordered a Walther PPQ M1 in 9mm earlier this week, could have it Saturday.

Never shot a pistol with the Compensator on it. Not sure how I feel about that... at least there isn't an external extractor

Sig P250 in .22 LR:

1. Ambidextrous
2. Modular (also buying 9mm Caliber Xchange kit)
3. Easy to maintain (remove and spray out FCU)
4. Really good DAO trigger
5. Cheap to shoot
6. Same holster for both calibers

Right now, I have no idea what the next one will be. I have a line on a 40P that I'm hoping can join the collection. Then, there's a 97B up on the north side of town that would make a great project gun. Also, there's this imagined need for an all stainless commander sized 1911 that just does not want to go away. And behind that is the never ending desire for a high polish 75B in stainless. Too many dreams, too little cash.

Mine is a S&W 686 Plus 3". Should be at my local FFL by the end of next week. I've already got a Wilson Combat spring kit and Hi-Viz sight on the way. Really looking forward to this next wheel gun!

But I kid you not, right after I placed the order, I see this on Armslist. The 686 is the better of the two due to the shape of the forcing cone with magnum loads, but I would love to have checked this out first.
