Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Second favorite semi auto platforms for duty/CCW/ general purpose?

Probably a Sig P220.

P7m8. Hasbeen

Well all I got is Glocks, so I guess it might be my old security six.

My first choice has always been a Lightweight Commander 1911 in .45acp, and my second choice has always been a Glock, usually my Model 32 in 357 Sig Caliber.
Recently, and more and more, lately, I've been packing my Glock 32 in .357 Sig as my primary CCW for daily use. I shoot both guns equally well, but I just find it easier to carry extra rounds with the Glock.

I too hate most euro triggers but for a carry gun reliability trumps all. I trust the Sig 226 that was my issue gun. They are clunky but very reliable. An M & P would be OK as would an HK P30. For fun factor it would have to be a smooth revolver.

I don't have much trouble shooting whatever I'm handed but if I couldn't get a Glock or a 1911, I'd probably pick a Beretta M9/92F, full size or a Compact, or maybe some version of an HK, or an M&P, or one of several Sigs would work too.

+1. But I could easily live with the S&W 9c with the Apex DAEK and aluminum trigger, if I couldn't have my BHP.

A CZ 40-P, SA/DA Pistol (uncatalogued) new and available for around $300 some years ago.
Used to go everywhere I went for a long time, before I acquired other newer-breed smaller handguns.
It's still one of the last handguns I'll ever part with. Quality, fit, feel, function, accuracy - all perfect.

I like my old LAPD Beretta 92, but it's kinda big. It was a great uniformed duty pistol. For concealed/all around use, I'll take a slightly tricked-out Browning. The one below, a MK III forged-frame, will do.

Only Glocks here. Well, and a 22/45.

Some of the "others" I've shot and liked are a MEUSOC 1911, Hi Power, and Walther P38.

Primary daily is LC9.

2nd is Kel-Tec P-32 when leaving from the house after hours Glock 19.

Beretta M9

I appreciate a consistent pull too, and therefore 1911's and Glocks are my favorites. My runner up would be a worked over BHP...................... and I predict YOURS will be a CZ75 carried condition one.

I could easily fall back on an SR9 or an SR45.

Glock 19 and a Glock 26

Nothing like the type 14 to set the example...

Nailed it. I started carrying a 1911, then a M92, SW 5906 for a decade, SW 99, HK USP and then a Glock 22. Even carried a SW 625 as primary when I was working dope and wanted a "non cop" gun. I have carried subsonics, 115+p+ and even ball ammo. The only one that was hideous was the SW99, it was bad enough it was issued for only a few years, had problems the entire time. I actually carried a full size HK USP as my "second gun" due to the broken mim parts and general crappy reliability.

I do have a preference for a manual safety of some kind for weapon retention issues and reholstering issues. I would grab my 5906 as a primary gun today and not loose any sleep.

I had one, and loved everything about the pistol. That palm swell in the grip fit me freakin' perfectly.

But the .40 S&W chambering was more than I could deal with. I couldn't keep rounds on target with any kind of speed, and 50 rounds was about my limit per range session.

I traded that pistol to a good friend, and it's been his favorite ever since.

Browning Hi Power, only semi auto besides 1911's or Glocks I own.

Of my semi-auto pistols certainly my Glock 20 and various 1911's take first choice. Second place would be equally shared between my Beretta 92 (Elite version with heavy slide, decock only) and my Springfield P-9 (Tanfoglio built CZ 75 clone) in .40 S&W. I am comfortable and confident with either.
