PandaMagee Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I was watching a show, 'American Guns' on youtube and noticed they sell a lot of pistols... and thought given the choice what would i have? personally i would have the Colt M1911, or their 'bread and butter', they put it a few times. what would you prefer?

storme37 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Beretta 92 or a walther ppk both would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry31 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Glock 19 gen4 plastic fantastic as used by more police forces worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I've got a gat gun pistol and its a corker but I also have a Webley senior .22. Wouldn't need any other pistols even if I did have the choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 A good .22 taget pistol. I have no use or desire to own a "weapon" of a gun. At a push i supose a small calibre moderated job might be handy for extreame short range destuction of stock and trapped foxes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaMagee Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 the glock would be a fine pistol, from watching YT they seem sturdly made. its just a shame that sidearms are illegal here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 the glock would be a fine pistol, from watching YT they seem sturdly made. its just a shame that sidearms are illegal here with the term "sidearm" being used then i think it might be a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegasus bridge Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I would have a revolver type, something like a .44 magnum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) I'm all up for a bit of fun so I'd probably go for a Glock 18 or Beretta 93R. As a simple handgun which I could realistically expect the government to let me own (even though they won't) then a .44 revolver would be nice. A 9mm semi auto would be good too, but something with a nice trigger. Glock triggers are horrible!

mr smith Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I would happily have my Smith 586 back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 i owned and shot a glock for some time but i can honestly say it is "NOT" as good as a 1911A1 of which i had 3. If you want reliability you cannot beat a revolver, mu choice here would be a S&W 686 4". Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I don't rate Glock's at all. They are inaccurate and have terrible triggers. The Sphinx 3000 is the pistol to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I would have a S&W model 686 .357 magnum. Also fires .38 special cartridges. I owned a 6" barrel one years ago, and it was a pleasure to fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaMagee Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) can anyone tell me when the hand gun ban was introduced? was its in the 1997 firearm amendment? Edited October 2, 2012 by PandaMagee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapFiller Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 The classic 1911 in MEU configaration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 First thing I would do is get the stoopid metal arm thing taken off my .357 LBR and get it to a gunsmith to have the barrel cut down to a sensible length, then, as I quite like 'old school' , it would have to be a good old 1911 to go with it.....

PandaMagee Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 theres something about the design of the 1911.. it always looks good even though its deign is over 100 years old and im sure the mechanics haven't changed much either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini52 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 In the good old days when law abiding people were allowed section one firearms i had many pistols,revolvers,and semi autos,but the only one for me had to be the 1911a1,it was a joy to shoot the one i had was a 1943 commercial,i believe the stopped making them in that year to produce them for military use,it was a sad day when i had to hand it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I think some people in the UK forget that shooting and blowing stuff up can be fun, and doesn't necessarily make you a balaclava bedsit boy. If I was visiting a place where handguns were legal I'd like to have a go on a Walther PPK (because it's James Bond's gun), and a decent revolver such as a S&W 586. I think in all honesty, even if they were legal here, I would get bored with them quite quickly. I don't think I would want one. I'd also quite like to fire an RPG-7 at an old Iraqi truck once, precisely for the same reason. I also want a go on one of those AA-12 full-auto shotguns. That looks like fun.
