Design the Perfect Handgun

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

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.

There's one weapon I don't wanna see reload :smt082

Uh oh. Mex-Tex and a Zippo lighter would make a fine flamethrower.

my perfect gun would be a subcompact ruger p95.

I was scratching my head on this for a while. Then I realized I already have several of the perfect handguns. Glock on!

Enjoy.

please do not forget Para Ord. P1445 acp A 1911 with a double stack and DA:smt083

What am I missing?

Oh yeah, it will never be produced by GLOCK!

:smt082 :mrgreen: :smt082

Nah, just dreams. For me, the perfect Handgun, is the one I like best.

You forgot groin support and life time free ammo.:mrgreen:

J.M. Browning may be able to help?

it sure looks to me like the FNP-45 is the description of the leading categories

Went to vote but the 10mm wasn't listed as an option. Besides, the perfect gun is already out there. Glock 20

When I saw the thread title, my immediate thought was, "too late, Browning got there first."

Adding new post so I can edge up to that magic 100 number :smt1099

Having looked at the poll results, it looks like either a 1911, a SIG, or an FNP45 is first. Going down to 9mm, you all are describing a CZ-75B Stainless. I'll take one of each, please.

http://www.cz-usa.com/data/productimg/main072.png

the way i read the data a 1911 is not in the running
did I mis-read the data
I got
DA/SA / Semiauto / Polymer / Hi Cap / .45 / manual safety

not sure what SIG it is cause i am not a SIG follower but it definitely is the
new FNP45

Yeah, I ignored the frame material since steel/aluminum wasn't listed.

9mm
single stack (8-9rds)
DA/SA w/hammer <10lb DA, <4.5lb SA
<20oz. empty
<1.2" width
3.5" barrel
3 dot sights
corrosion resistant finish or ss.
safety or decocker doesn't matter

Any such "animal" exist?

The perfect handgun would have to be LEFTHANDED!

I could easily design the perfect gun....however Glock beat me to it!
