Dan Wesson .357 mag. with a 4 inch and a 6 inch barrel with a combat grip.

I voted for the Glock. I love my 19 but am also very fond of my Kahr CW9. You can't even tell you have the thing on, even IWB. One of the best DOA triggers on the market.

my favorite is SIG 226, i shot one jagged hole with 50 rounds of blazer 115gr. at 15 feet, in a weaver stance, slow fire, at an indoor range.

1911 45acp is my favorite
if not that
then Glock

I would recommend the Kimber Eclipse Ultra. It is all stainless steel, 3" barrel. I can carry my Pro II and it has a 4" barrel. They are great shooters!

I voted none of these. My new favorite is the Smith and Wesson M&P.

A 1911 or my Colt Double Eagle both in 45 acp.

Stoeger Cougar, but I am sticking with the price limit. No limit, Kimber Eclipse.

10+1 capacity, with a 16 round back-up mag.
Better trigger, sights, ergonomics than most.
Simple take-down, cleaning, and care.

My first gun was a Beretta 92FS. Still got it, still shoot it, but the XD9sc by far is a better gun (for me) as a CCW.

As for the accuracy.......A+++

I hit better/consistant groups at 8-10 yrds than the Beretta.

I went with Haugenhandgunleather.com for a good OWB holster #31 Speed Scabbard III & added PEARCE Grip pinky extender(s) to both my 10rnd mags.



I've had the chance to shoot many different brands/calibers......and I ALWAYS come back the XD's as my favorite overall choice.

G26

Para PCX745R, Ruger P345, Smith & Wesson 586....in that order

Glock
G17, G19, G22, G27

My son just bought a used Sig P228 and I got to shot it before he did......and i have to tell you that I might need to ground him and as punishment take his gun away....

It shot AWESOME, I own a Taurus PT92 and I love that gun, and I am not bad with it, but when I shot this Sig, I was much better with my groupings..... I guess I need to buy one soon.

Walther P99 .40 would be my choice.

Kahr, but the 1911 as a close second

I voted for the Cz but it would be the CZ 75 D PCR 9mm Compact

For caliber choice, I am probably going to go with a 9mm because of the cost of cheap practice ammunition. honestly a 9mm loaded with some hydra shocks or equivalent should be enough to stop someone or definitely change there priorities, but if you feel another caliber would be better feel free to speak your opinion.


Price should be under $650

I forgot to add in the poll that if you have other suggestions please post them,

I mainly want reliability, and accuracy!

Used Guns would be a possibility.

Thanks

If you don't mind a suggestion, you say you will probably stay with the 9mm due to price. I have an EAA/Tanfoglio Witness P .45 ACP (good stopping power for less than $400) with a 9mm conversion kit ($229). Two guns for less than your price of $650. I use the 9mm conversion for league and target practice and the .45 as my carry gun. This way I get all the practice I need with my carry gun (same feel) at a 9mm practice price. By the way, if you want your practice price to be cheaper still, you can also get a .22 conversion kit.

Sig P226 you can find used ones for under 500. They shoot like a target pistol and hold up like an m1 tank.

Springfield XD is my vote. Great gun in a reasonably priced package.

HK P7M13

1911 's

I really cannot say I have a favorite. But I always reach for my S&W Ti.
or my G-19 when I go out. The older I get the faster I reach for my S&W.

1911/1911-a1

Beretta PX4 Storm in 9mm. Go to the store and feel one in your hand. If it don't fit you know that it comes with 2 extra Grips, one smaller and one larger.
