Not a single revolver in the bunch. But then the criteria was 'currently in service worldwide.'

I just bought my step-mom a Glock Gen5 17 last week. Improved grip. Only complaint is the slide release bar that like all Glocks is too flush and nearly impossible to grip.

I think the FNX .45 deserves an honorable mention.

A Springfield XDS is my daily carry. Wonderful little gun. Fits my hand very well. 6 rounds of .45.

I prefer it over the Glock.

Love my Kimber but it’s just too big for EDC.

I carry SIG’s but have a weak spot in my heart for old Browning Hi-Powers. While I don’t carry it my CZ-75 just has such a good feel to. The Hi-Power influence on the CZ-75 is easy to see and feel.

I would be happy as could be with any of them but if forced to take just one, it would be the SIG P226.

The 1911 was the U.S. military’s first semiautomatic handgun, marking a permanent turn away from military revolvers.

I was issued and carried a .38 Special in Vietnam.

I agree about the Browning. A beautiful thing. I love it. But it’s too big for concealed daily carry, especially for a lady.

That revolver was probably a left-over from the SpanAm War.

“In 2012, the U.S. Marine Corps Marine Special Operations Command adopted the Colt M45A1, an updated version of the 1911A1, as its standard handgun.”

Good enough for me.

Buy American.

The reality is that there are many good gun choices but, the best gun is the one you have when you need it.

I recommend that if you carry a gun you practice with it often. This insures that it will work when you need it and you will know what you are doing when you need it.

A big 45 might be just what the doctor ordered for some folks while a 380 or even a 25 petite gun might be just right for some small 90 pound woman. A head shot with a 25 will not be good for the recipient.

If you have a gun big enough to blow someones head off it will do no good if you can’t hit their head, or at least hit them somewhere.

I personally like 9mm, but my wife likes her little 38 revolver that fits nicely in a pouch in her purse.

How you use it is much more important than the size of the round and knowing how to use it is more important than the brand.

No matter which gun you prefer, if you don’t have it when you need it, then it is useless. I always tell people, if you carry, carry ALL the time.
