Semi-autos with panache - 04/21/23
Didn't want to step on the PPK thread but it made me think of all the semi-auto handguns out there with true panache.
Not going to be the style Nazi, panache or style if you prefer can be whatever you think it is. But as a guideline, a Glock 17 or 19 does not have panache, no matter how much aftermarket stuff it's laden with. A plain jane, beat to crap 1911 that was carried through a war definitely does.
Also, try to limit this to semi-autos, we already know there is a plethora of DA and SA revolvers with panache.
So, let's see'em!
I'll start. Recently got this 1988 vintage Beretta Model 87, a single stack .22 in their Cheetah series. It's not the most accurate .22 I own but it holds its own. Mostly it's just a really neat little gun and brings me much pleasure to handle and shoot.
