I have two Browning Hi-Powers. Both have Hogue grips. It is certainly a classic and is still capable but I wish at least one was a Sig P-226.
I was wondering why they left the 19 out of the list. It's small enough to conceal good, and enough barrel length to be accurate. I have it's bigger brother in 40S&W - the Glock 23.
Concealed carry, I like my Glock G48 9mm, with 4” Barrel, 10-Rounds.
I will take my 1911 .45 colt Defender. John Moses Browning
was a genius and a Great American.
I have owned several model 92’s including an early one with 1911 type safety.
The only thing which keeps it from being perfect is the large grip, just a tad too big for me.
I have a G-17 (9mm) and G-37 (.45 Auto)
Of the two I like the 9mm better. Just seems to handle better. Maybe I just have more target time with it.
“Both have Hogue grips”
I sometimes have trouble with the hammer biting me. Do those grips cure that?
My current favorites are my Walther PPS M2 (subcompact) and Sig P320 compact. Both are accurate, and easy to handle. The Walther has a lower round capacity, but is easier to conceal than the Sig. Looking at the Sig P365 SAS for another easily concealed handgun.
I’ve got large hands for a woman, the The Smith & Wesson M&P ACP .45 is my favorite weapon! We have several around the house.
I don’t think the grips would help with hammer bite. I have never experienced it. All of the five I have owned had the rowell hammer.
Does yours have the newer style?
I own three of those so no objection here. But the H&K VP-9 is a fine one as well.
Crap! You’re the only one that nailed it. :D
When it comes to Guitars, once you find one that fits you, you just want to stay with it. It makes you a better player.
I’m getting the feeling the same is true with guns. I’ve tossed and turned between a .45 and nine MM. I’m thinking it’s time to pull the trigger on the 17.
Isn't it hard to walk carrying a red brick and a 380 in your pants pocket?
It is like a brick, but it ain’t red. :D
dont brag about your big gut :)
The M&P inclusion is a bit odd. It’s also mostly American. I would replace it with the Springfield XD/HS Produkt HS2000 series, which has had a larger impact as the first polymer pistol to challenge the Glock line in sales.
I like my Springfield Armory XDS 9mm. Easy to use and pretty accurate.
Not a police standard, sorry.
