What am I missing?
Oh yeah, it will never be produced by GLOCK!

Nah, just dreams. For me, the perfect Handgun, is the one I like best.
Actually "perfect" would be "Issued" to every person w/o a felony or violent history by the Govt.(except lefty liberals who are obviously mentally incapacitated).
Mine would be a upgraded version of the HK USP. It'd have a slightly longer barrel, (Perhaps 4.7 ) a more comfortable grip (for smaller hands), it'd have a lower bore axis, small beavertail and be SAO but would have double strike capacity if need be, .45ACP. And the sights would have a longer raidious (USP deffanantly could have slightly longer raidios on front and back sight). Also the mag release would be on the grip instead of on the trigger guard.
My 'perfect pistola' would end up looking a lot like an M&P with a manual safety, 5" barrel, 2lb trigger, fiber-optic sites. I would like one in 9mm and .45. It is really not that far from coming true.
Of existing guns, the Glocks come the closest for me. Ergonomically, they could be improved with:
- a radically smaller grip circumference (I don't care if the gun is single or double stack)
- a crisper trigger release
- a narrower slide
- an even lower bore axis
Cripes, I think I just described the HK P7. But that pistol is too heavy and accessories are too expensive and hard to find.
I can go either way on the manual safety. I was fine with it when I carried a 1911, and I am equally fine without it on my current Glock carry guns. I live by Rule Three.
Am I the only one who would want to know the application?
Is this for an "only gun"? Or is it for: concealed carry, home defense, a vehicle gun, combat, plinking, target, etc???
Before I could design it, I need to define it!:watching:
Non of the above because my perfect design would be my ass. I would like to be able to shoot 500 magnums out my ass and with the right TexMex it's possible. Think about it a bad guy makes you lie down with your hands behind your head bang and a round comes flying out your ass and blows his head off. Say you want to waste someone in a crowd just shoot him with your ass and walk away. What cop will go around and check everyones ass. Non. You even have a built in silencer. Hold your cheeks together and fire. I think they call that a SBD. The ass gun is the only way to go.

Interesting set of choices. As I went down the list and picked my favorites, it occurred to me that someone already has designed the "perfect" pistol based on my choices. It's called the SIG P229 Elite in .40 S&W. Or the SIG P226, either .40 S&W or 9mm (depending how "high" you want your high-cap). Or the Beretta 92FS 9mm if you want REALLY high-cap without requiring a 'way long magazine that sticks out below the grip.
Hmmm, My perfect gun, eh. Let's see. #1 I would never miss. # 2 It would incapacitate imediately, but not kill. I wonder if Capt. Kirk has any extra faser pistols he would like to sell?
It's been hard to improve on this design over the last 100 years and it's copied all over the world. Top one made in last half of 1970 and bottom one made year before last. Sights are King's Hardballers and thumb safeties Gunsite Low Mount Thumb Safeties - flat MSH - otherwise stock as they came from the factory (grips replaced on original).
However, it's good we have different opinions - otherwise we'd all drive Yugos and lack of competition would price them out of range for most of us.
My USPC .45 has the saftey and decocker lever on rt side, need new right slide release. My HK P2000SK with the same controls with only rt slide release and not rear button decocker.
Funny that question came up. I was just reading about a very interestng revolver that was made in Russia in the early '90's. It was a top break (like the old Scholfield's) with a polymer lower frame and grip. DA/SA .357 mag. The extractor actually threw the empty cases out of the cylinder. It came with either a 4" or 6" barrell. A .357mag, .44 mag, or .45 either ACP or Long Colt would make for a nice revolver. I would love to have one of those. Or even 2. 1 .357 mag 4" and 1 .45 LC 6".
Check out http://worldguns.ru/main-e.htm, and go to handguns, then look for the " IzMech MP-412 " in the revolver section.
So the majority's "perfect gun" would be a double-single .45ACP with a staggered mag. Polymer/Aluminum frame and blued/stainless are a toss-up. So, you need a Sig P220 or a Ruger P90 that accepts Glock 21 mags.
interesting poll but not detailed enough
for what purpose would this gun be used for?
i voted along the lines of CCW but if it was for hunting it would be different
this year one of the mag articles did the same poll internally (i think) and the results were the 44 mag because of the wide power range with 44 specials but i don't remember the barrell length
as far as autos go its hard to not vote for the colt govt 45
Good poll. It pretty clearly shows by the varied responses that there is no "perfect gun". It's a good thing too, otherwise it would be rather hard to justify buying more than one ;D
