Fissssh Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Sig P226 9mm x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoAtrox Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Got myself a Sig P226 SCT with magwell grips in 9mm (5x20rd magazine). That's the "combat" pistol in case I ever need to engage in an extended "gun fight". Haven't got a second yet, but I want it to be a man-stopper. Probably .45. Can't carry in my state (for now) so I'll probably stick with a full-sized .45. I've been eyeing a Springfield Operator. If I could carry, I'd have to re-evaluate. I'd probably go with a compact or sub-compact 9mm, such as the Kahr MK9. (The polymer is too light and uncomfortable for me; and the 9mm is for higher capacity.) BTW, the zombies need to be dropped with cranial shots or shots to the heart; lungs and other organs won't incapacitate, and their rotted flesh doesn't "pile" very well. 9mm to the cranium will beat a .45 to the chest for zombies ... Hence the hi-cap 9mm. Edited March 4, 2010 by LeoAtrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamoel Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 does any of you have either a HK mark 23 or a HK 45? if so, how satisfied are you with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioM4 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I found a holster for the Swiss Mini! Sure there may not be much stopping power...but you will have the element of surprise! While the bad guys are ROFLTAO at your gun. You can quick draw and get a bead on them (it does have better sights than a Ruger LCP). Shoot them right in the eyeball...and hope they are not wearing contact lenses...it might deflect the tiny bullet! IF YOU EVER SHOOT ME WITH A SWISS MINI...AND I EVENTUALLY FIND OUT ABOUT IT...

Straightest shooting pistol out of the box that I have ever seen. I'm a pretty poor pistol shot, and this thing made me look like I knew what I was doing.

hattles Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 My opinion is that you should select 2 of the same caliber and brand. I sold all the other stuff and stuck with 3 .40 caliber glocks. Now I only have to purchase 1 pistol ammo in bulk and I can use full size mags in the smaller size frame as well. I can share accessories, some internal parts and for the most part have the same trigger and grip feel just a longer slide on the larger models. For instance, full size on your hip with 15 rounds, 2 extra 15 round mags, and a compact under your arm with 13 rounds. 58 rounds of .40 s&w and if the fullsize should fail the compact uses the larger mags too. Desert Eagle 50 and a S&W Mdl 29-44Mag. No substitute for cubic inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCKETW19 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 does any of you have either a HK mark 23 or a HK 45? if so, how satisfied are you with them? good one right there. I should have got the mark 23 when they were still allowed in cali but I was to cheep. My next hand gun will probably be the new HK45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon.benton Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Which one made you pro Hopefully you mean proficient, and not professional. I am barely one and by no means the other... Anyway, I should have said the HK .45 (USP Elite) It may have something to do with the 6 inch barrel... This is in comparison to my Kimber Raptor and Springfield Armory Operator .45s.

GBMotorsports Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 does any of you have either a HK mark 23 or a HK 45? if so, how satisfied are you with them? I had a USP Tactical .45 I wanted a mark 23 but it doesnt fit my hands as well. A friend of mine has an older mark 23 and its amazing. Pretty cool, you can make it a single shot so the slide doesnt move when you want to be sneaky. I LOVED my USP, best handgun I have have ever fired. Unfortunately I sold mine as I dont need a handgun(however I want a lot of them). Will be buying another soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler&kochp2000 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Glock 17 is the Glock that started it all, has a lot of different mods for it perfect size and not to big or small very accurate the.40 has a lot more kick harder to control a 9mm with some trigger mods it's like shooting a 22(kind of) These are the only handguns i ever owned, first bought the HK and shot it and i sucked at aiming got a lil better , And then i bought the Glock 17 And realized how easy it is to shot compared to my HK .40 cal P2000 less kick recoil .

I doubt it was the gun itself. The .40 cal round has a lot of "snap" to it. I have always shot well with 9mm, 44mag, .45ACP, .454 casull, and .460sw. I can BARELY stay on the paper with a .40. I have shot both glocks and springfields in .40 and I got the same results from both. IMO all the HKs I have shot kicked quite a bit less than there same caliber counterpart from another manufacturer. Not to mention the P2000 has a pretty short barrel, and will therefore be more susceptible to snapping up on you. Edited March 10, 2010 by GBMotorsports Because I can.

LOL, I was the complete oposite. I bought a G17 when they first came out (sold my beretta 92:confused:) I hated the g17 so much cuz I couldnt hit the paper 2 feet in front of me I gave it to my brother for free and I almost just threw it out the window on the way home from the range. I then got the USP 9 much much better. but I could do wonders with the beretta 92 should of never sold it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamoel Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 i tried out the USP yesterday, and it just doesn't feel good in my hands, whereas the P30 really fits very well. unfortunately they didn't have a HK45 to try out, but it should fit my hands much better than the USPs.

wingshooter17 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 HK45 is a good choice. If allowed, you may want to look into a model that can take a conversion kit. I know the Sig 250 can be converted to various caliber just by swapping out the barrel and magazine. I personally like shooting any 1911 style such as a Springfield or a Kimber. Again, i'm not sure if thats available in Germany, but they are worth looking into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofugra Maltlicra Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 If I could only have two handguns they would be a full size 1911 custom and a S&W 686. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamoel Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 conversion kits are no problem, i could buy a USP and barrels for it in all available configurations and calibers. just no extra hand pieces so i would have more than 2 guns in total.

SgtCathy Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 For me, a full size, full weight SW1911 .45 ACP is my "go to" handgun of choice. I have one of the early production models and this gem shoots far better than me. Second handgun is an old school S&W model 13-3 in .357 magnum with 4 inch bull barrel (think model 10 with a .357 length chamber). The .45 S&W shoots absolutely every thing and has never had any problems of any kind. Even though I'm fast approaching the big "60" in my life, I still blow out the 8, 9, and bulleye from a standard pistol target at 50 meters at the range while the other shooters, young, old, local police types, are printing all over their targets. Also still practise shooting at small cans, with my pistols, on the 100 yard rifle range (back stop is 110 yards) and hitting a few. In my early years shooting at moving targets at 100 yards, I was known for my ability to hit them with a pistol, but my eyes are no longer the same as when I was a young woman and those cans are getter more difficult to see. I may have to switch to old large 5 gallon paint cans for the next 10-20 years. As for the old school revolver, I have lived overseas and in many states of our great country and have never come across a store that doesn't carry some sort of .38 ammunition. Be it .38 shorts, .38 old police, .38 wad cutters, regular .38 specials or hoards of .357 stuff. So if zombies are the rule rather than the exception, I should still be able to find something to feed at least my revolver. Plus after all these years, an old fashion revolver is still a fun gun to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
