Send me two for evaluation. 🙂

I have a Colt Commando Spl .38 as well as a 9mm Ruger LC9s pro, as my church guns, but I have preferred the .45 standard size as my daily carry. Might not be so good for someone of lesser frame or a girl.

[Hiddigeigei]

I regret that there wasn’t an American arms company that designed a pistol for our military. We used to make the best small arms in the world.

I also carry a 5” 1911 Kimber .45 ACP “Eclipse Target II” w/ Rosewood Crimson Trace Laser grips, and use only Wilson Combat 8rnd stainless Officer’s Mags.

“Don’t mug me ! I’ve got 10 dollars left after buying $3000 in pistols!”

I’m ribbing ya ... you have good taste.

“You can’t improve on perfection.”

Hear, hear.

Better to improve Marines until the 1911 suits them than to change guns because women can’t handle them.

[Big Red Badger]

Thanks MAG,
changed my mind
about looking for
a cheap M9.

The pistols shown are Berettas, it was the picture at the article.

This is why you can’t buy Sigs.

This is why you can’t buy Sigs.

Why buy Sigs when so many Glocks are available? 😎

And on the 46th post, the REAL TRUTH was written, women can't handle them, so downgrade the fire power.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Some people are Sig snobs. And yes, Glocks are generally available.

[Tijeras_Slim]

For some folks Glock ergonomics don’t cut it. I’ve never had a SIG that wasn’t 100% reliable, including several in .38 Super.

[imardmd1]

Pretty fancy stuff, my FRiend! Nicer than I can afford. Glad you can have and enjoy it!

[21twelve]

I’m guessing it is a play on words? The folks with the 9mm are the ones that are killed?

[imardmd1]

The pistols shown are Berettas, it was the picture at the article.

Yeah, I recognized them at first glance, and posted an image of the M9 showing the same silhouette as the photo. I just didn't understand why the leading photo of the article didn't match up the sidearms with the pistol featured in the title.

[PROCON]

Sig Sauer is an excellent platform and a great EDC because of its reliability.

I got turned on to Glocks by a cop friend years ago and do carry a G-19, but I will admit that I don't keep a round in the chamber.

Son and I were out at the range today and my Glock just shoots so nicely, son does outscore me though with his Taurus PT-111, which he EDC's.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The G19 is a great gun, just doesn’t fit my hand. I’ve had bad luck with Taurus, glad your son like his. Every auto I have now is a SIG except a 1922 Colt Pocket Hammerless in .380.

[Carriage Hill]

LOL.

[Reno89519]

None of mine are.
